Life
Been very busy. Gwen (Jacinta's sister and our housemate) is now engaged. I've probably been playing a little more ADOM than normal, and this has affected my usual hobbies of writing in my diary and getting my Diplomacy moves in on time. The weather has been polishing up quite nicely here in Melbourne, and I've been spending more time in the garden. I'm once again reminded how much I'd like some more land to grow things.

Finance::Quote drives artwork
A few bugfixes and minor releases because of that. The most interesting thing to eventuate is the use of Finance::Quote to drive a dynamic art piece, the write-up of which can be found here. The "stock-puppets" dynamically change depending upon the mood of various world markets, and to be honest I'm quite happy about this use of the module. :)

Work
Scott is away skiing and so I've been fielding most of his work as well as mine. This has made me incredibly busy during work hours.

My discussions with Dan about me moving to a nine-day fortnight seem to have broken down, and I'm rather dissapointed by this. Admittedly this is partially because we've both been so busy, but the attitude seems to have gone from "should not be a problem" to "we need you too much". *sigh*
