I realized this evening that I haven't really even thought much about geeky stuff for many days, specifically programming stuff. That's OK though, because certainly human stuff is better for you.
Even though I'll barely see any time at work this week, I do need to get some library code written and well tested so it can be handed off. It's nothing particularly hard, just time consuming. And hey, given my somewhat supervisory and managmentish role, I need to get it right to set a good example.
A discussion last week with some CB peeps got me to thinking about ways I could make the forum app a bit more extensible. I was thinking about ways to create plug-ins for specific forums, and to my surprise, it's very doable. I actually wrote it mostly right. Lots of ins and outs and whathaveyous, but I think I've got a direction to go on that.
What I'm still hating myself for is that I still haven't wrapped up the rewrite of the photo app so I can plug in deep zooms or whatever else. I suck.
Last week I finished reading jQuery in Action. OK, so it's hardly a subject that needs a book, but it does provide some nice background on the design decisions behind the library. I've actually used it a bit already, as it drives the drag-and-drop for track records on CB.
The book I've yet to crack open is the Silverlight 2 book I ordered after the first one I got kind of sucked. It's a subject I'm very interested in, even if I don't have an obvious idea for using it just yet. Actually, I think you could make a nice upload control, not to mention do some sweet video players.
But this stuff will have to wait, as the next few days are all about partying like it's the end of the year. Not really, I'm not that intense about the year ending.
