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 peaceful_dragon's upcoming BarCamp (see siliconisland).

Even with all that there are several contenders. I'm currently leaning towards my RSS Processor idea from my 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 can't say about the practice, since I've never been to one.
