Palfrey's life

(I need better titles, and it's a reference from a Charles Stross story. If just_a_monkey can reference the Fruit Fucker, then I'm going to reference good online stories. Duckspeak, but *improved*)

I should have gone out to the AEGEE thing tonight, but I'm too tired. I've got an (almost) 5-day weekend coming up, so I've got some sleeping time. The "almost", is because I'm still going to be in on Friday, but I suspect as the cafeteria is closed, and given that we've got the Ascension (thursday) and Whitmonday (monday. probably not called "whitmonday" by the Dutch, but can't remember their name for it) as both public holidays, it's not going to be exactly strenuous. I should (and probably will spend some time on) revising for the Dutch course. The final test is next Thursday. I suspect I'm likely to fail, which isn't exactly motivating, but OTOH I do have another chance in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I'll make it by then.

However, I'm also liable to just spend time working on the news proggie. Expect a release over the weekend, as hopefully it'll get to the point at which I can actually use it (which is when it gets released). Oh, and on that it doesn't have a name yet. Thoughts on names for a news program, that uses RSS, OPML and some fun things with trees and python? Ideas people, or we're gonna have another name like "Comics Grabber" or "Image Gallery". Winning entry gets bought a drink if I ever actually see you IRL.
