Time

Time
I love spending time doing all sorts of things, but I never seem to be able to get enough of it. Friends, food, coding, a life, family, geeky things, sleep -- I want time for them all.

Back when I was a student I used to run on a 25 hour day. This was very good, because I'd always have that extra hour to do things in. I can't do this anymore, because I need to come in at a semi-reasonable time for work.

Am going to try and crystalise a number of ideas in my head into code, despite it being past my bedtime of 10:30. I'm really going to have to find a way to do more open-sourcey things at work. I'm a sucker for people sending me patches.

Addendum
Stayed up until sometime in the morning hacking at Finance::Quote. I've got a working framework for proper failover, loadable module support, and more configurable objects. Plus I think I can keep everything compatible with the old calling syntax with just a little work. This makes me all very happy.

The changes aren't in the CVS tree yet, because they're not finished and break just about everything. I want to clean them up and gain comments from the other developers before I put them back in the main branch. In the meantime I might put them on an experimental branch.

If I were a few years younger I'd probably pull an all-nighter to convert everything over to the new harness, but at the ripe old age of 23 I'm finding I need my sleep. In any case I'm still a very happy coder.
