I am at work after having called Montrose last night to find out if I had jury duty today. I don't, its been postponed due to the weather. Speaking of the weather, this morning I had to dig out my Rodeo with a broom (I don't have a snow shovel, I think Gunnison had a run) . Over the past couple of days, we have received at least two feet of snow.
I didn't do anything special for New Years. I had to work last Monday and Wednesday and it was too cold to walk anywhere ( I know I am being a wimp, I need to reduce my anti-social tendencies). This past weekend, instead of renting a movie or read my novel, I spent most of the two days migrating my Quaker Catalog to a TurboGears application. When I am finished I'll write more about it, basically I am importing all of the topic map XML files to a relational database model currently constructed in sqlite with the web application layer using TurboGears instead of the Apache framework I initially used for the first version of the Quaker catalog. It felt good to actually do some extra-work programming. I still own the domain name to inhinc.net, my old defunct consulting company. I am slowly resurrecting the domain to showcase my hacked development efforts and ideas. On Sunday, I spent some time playing around with Python 3-D physics simulation framework, Visual. I began some rough ideas about a 3-D interface to the Quaker Catalog using Visual and likely the Stackless framework to create an agent-based system. Fun stuff and a lot of work to do in the future.
