Morningtide.

Yup, it morning again. Its a Monday morning and I'm awake early, so I really should plan what I'm going to do this week. For most folks today is a holiday but since I'm not working right now there isn't much reason to treat it as different from any other day.

Besides, I need to come up with a project. It will have the multifold purposes of:
  1. Getting me back up to speed on C++'s STL and BOOST libraries so I can get a C++ job.
  2. Not requiring me to learn too many things unrelated to #1 above.
  3. Scratching an itch by being useful in its own right.
  4. Something I might be willing to show off at [livejournal.com profile] peaceful_dragon's upcoming BarCamp (see [livejournal.com profile] siliconisland).
Even with all that there are several contenders. I'm currently leaning towards my RSS Processor idea from my [livejournal.com profile] technaut blog, but there are other possibilities I can think of. As they said in Economics class, the real price of making a choice is the sum of all of the possibilities that you discard.

I followed the siliconisland link, and I still don't know what happens at a barcamp. I mean in practice, not in principle.

You really should! (show it off, I mean)
