Finance::Quote
Finance::Quote 0.18 is now out the door, and available and
advertised via CPAN, Freshmeat, Sourceforge, etc. Now that
we have a reasonably stable library out the door we can
start working on new features. (Like currency conversion or
a decent OO re-write.)
Ian
I must apologise for saying that Ian purchased a ludicrously
expensive lockable sun-roof on wheels because his old car
lost that 'new' smell. Apparently Ian's car was a couple of
years old when he purchased it, and he had been spraying it
with a can of "new car smell" to keep it smelling new.
I now know that Ian purchased a ludicrously expensive
lockable sun-roof on wheels because his can of "new car
smell" ran out. *grin*
In Ian's favour, he did climb the Green 15 out at hardrock.
I'm very impressed.
Diplomacy
The first game starts shortly. We almost have a full
compliment of players signed up.

Finance::Quote
Just received a letter informing me of a PHP version of
Finance::Quote's yahoo function that should be released in
the next couple of days. This is great news, as I've had a
few requests for a PHP interface to Finance::Quote. I've
pointed the relevant people at each other and hopefully
they'll come to very happy arrangements.
I'm also thinking of writing a short guide on "How to submit
a patch for Finance::Quote", as it seems to be a
semi-regular requestion, and I most certainly do want the
patches.
I'm still going to try to release 0.18 today, although I'm
not certain of when I'll get the time to do it.
Housemates
Jacinta's sister, Gwen, is moving in with us today. She's
got herself a job in Melbourne and will be staying with us
for a while. She's also applied for a job at Schoolsnet.
Gwen's very nice, so I'm happy that she's moving in with us.

Diplomacy
Wow! 13 people at work have told me they most certainly
want to play in a Diplomacy, and I'm sure that another one
will come out of the woodwork somewhere, giving us 14.
That's enough for two standard games. This is excellent, it
means I can play in one and GM the other. I'm very much
looking forward to this.
Ross and Humpy also seem to be looking forward to the games
very much. I think they'll show themselves to be excellent
players, which should make for an interesting game.
Work
Back at work after a nice relaxing holiday. I don't really
want to be back at work, I was just getting used to being on
holidays.
Finance::Quote
Intend to move version 0.18 out the door tomorrow.
Ian
Ian's just spent some ludicrous amount of money on a new
car. His old car worked fine, the only problem seems to
have been that it had lost its `new' smell.

Paintball
Have a couple of good looking bruises from playing
paintball. We played for about six hours, had lots of fun,
and went through way too much paint. Jacinta got shot
across the knuckles which wasn't a very plesant experience,
but hasn't caused any permanent damage.
Diplomacy
Wow, I received seven expressions of interest within minutes
of me posting around the staff list asking for Diplomacy
players. Now I just need to find an external person to be
arbitrator for the electronic judge.
Finance::Quote
Version 0.18 is almost out the door. I'd like to release it
this weekend.
Work
Holidays are over, so I'm back at work. I'd rather the
holidays had continued, but I guess we can't have
everything.
