So I'm trying flock out again.
It's been a while since I last looked at it. All I can say is it's improved massively. It's actually just like Firefox with lots of lovelly extra interactions with my favourite web sites. So far so impressed.
Cider
I haven't drunk cider since a University, but at the Walkabout bar in central Birmingham I was introducer to Kopperburg, Swedish cider (thank you GUADEC!) which was actually really nice. Since then I've had no end of trouble getting hold of the stuff. Every place I go either doesn't stock it or is out of stock. It's a shame because it's lovelly.
Worse than all that however is that I have resorted to trying other ciders to see if I'd just forgortten how good cider is. I haven't. Every other cider I have tasted has been unreservedly shite.
Unless I can find a supplier of Kopperburg in the immediate future I've a feeling cider will be off my menu for at least another decade.
Projects
I've got too many projects to work on and that makes it hard to focus. Right now I have:
- Reading "purely functional data structure", which in turn requires me to learn Standard ML (can I just say,*yuck*).
- Working on VonTeese, a DITA handling system in Scheme.
- Learning about concurrent Scheme programming in Termite.
- Writing a ELISP to allow me to edit item on a Twiki based Wiki directly.
- Working out a good data acquisition UI strategy for mobile GNOME devices (via PokyLinux for the time being).
.. plus a whole load of other ideas floating around in my head.
