Right now... adding some features to an internal application at work in C# (im at work).

Later tonight though, I should be preparing for my hiking trip tomorrow, and possibly working on some RSS indexing that someone I know wants for their website.

Studying for a Computer Architecture mid-term on Tuesday. I got to program a little bit of a RESTful API for a big school project earlier today though, so the day isn't a total loss.

I finished up a lexical analyzer I was writing in Ruby for a pascal variant we're using throughout the semester in my Compilers class. Now it's done and submitted, so time to relax and have a cup of tea before I start considering writing the parser.

This sounds like real fun! My compilers class was a joke, we made it as far as generating ASTs, then the semester ended. Laughable.

Improving HN's performance. Voting is horribly expensive. That wasn't a problem originally but it's starting to become one now that there are so many users.

how many users are we up to?

11492 accounts, many of them inactive of course. There are more users than that, because many users lurk for a while before creating accounts. We now get around 45k unique visitors on weekdays.

Trying to get the video done for our YC app. We're seriously bad at saying anything cool or interesting on camera... all we can do so far is laugh at each other. :)
