Tonight, a night in which I wrote source code to achieve some purpose, felt good. It felt real good. There are a few things going down around the development-sphere that somewhat might indirectly involve me (or not), and here they are in no particular order:

• python-markdown 1.6 was released tonight, which will probably fix the ampersand bugs I've been having (you might notice them, say, below this entry).
• xdccq.py 0.3 was also released (by me) It's a simple local queueing script for the xchat irc client, and it's focus is simplicity and not hammering peoples bots, and it works rather well.
• I have discovered the cheeseshop, which seems very interesting. I feel like writing something now, in order to have it included in the cheeseshop.

I am starting to have ideas on things to program. Some of them are simple/silly/useless (read: 日本), and some of them are ridiculously farfetched and doomed to failure.

• xchat scripts:
  • wb script (simple)
  • unify my audacious/bmp/banshee mp3 announce script
• modify python-markdown to fix (in some clean way) word resolution, ie, "_this should be italics_"
• my own programming language (similar to boo but machine code compiled)
• of course, continue on saudade
• and some ideas i finally had at work for using the 770's we have

This can probably all commence tomorrow. Good times.
