Working on photo upload in a new web app I'm working on. It spawns ImageMagick to do the conversion into multiple photos of different sizes. I had doubts about this until I read that it's the technique Flickr uses.

ooh... what bug? and are you doing f# for web or just f#?

There's also another bug that I'll save for the blog entry.

So far I've written a guest post for my blog (since 5 am) and I'll now work on the backend of a bog engine I wrote myself in rails. I'll probably do many other things before 9 am where I'll start my day-work.
