In a recent journal entry matts commented about putting an item on mnt todo. I used to have a big pile of things at the bottom of these journals of things that I needed to do. My list has grown beyond that - it's turned into a bit of a mountain. Well today I've decided to take it easy, after spending too much time running around doing things too much recently. Today I've just been reading though the ORA Exim book, and of course watching the Football. Much more relaxing...
Remember when gnat asked for tech reviewers for Perl Graphics Programming? Well, I agreed to. It was great fun doing it but it sure did take a lot of my time - and I only managed to review about half the book. I've never done a tech review before, and I'm not sure if I wrote too many comments or too few.
I owe diverse books a couple of reviews, most notably a review of the various Jabber books out there. I've also got a review of lcastro's book which is 98% complete and just needs me to go over it and tidy it up a bit. I'm really worried about this one as I don't want to be misunderstood about what I want to say.
I'm also working on writing documentation for Test::Builder::Tester (more on that in another journal entry) and I've started to think about the Test::Set module I proposed a few months back on perlqa.
There's numerous side projects on the go - a simple tool for extracting and processing images in Gtk, a countdown module (that shows just two - or 'n' - units of accuracy - eg "3 days, 4 hours remaining" - "2 hours, 1 minute remaining") and my script to render my CV from XML into as many formats as I can think of (HTML, text, PDF, MSWord, JPG, WML...)
Oh, and I have numerous other non Perl related projects I need to get started on - in particular coming up with a website for gravel.
It's all go go go.
