A quick post before bed.
This week we released a feature at work on which I've worked my tail off. Sourceforge just became an OpenId relying party. Essentially what that means, dear friends and family, is that you can take your livejournal account and use it to log into the website I work on. Or your Blogger account, or your AIM account, or your... You probably have a lot of openid's and didn't know it yet.
We did it using some code that is part of an open source project, but the open source project didn't really fully implement the whole thing, so I got to dig into the nitty gritty encryption parts of the protocol and stuff. It was pretty fun, and we did the whole thing in under a month. Which was awesome for our team, since we've been kind of stagnant for a loooong time. So, that was an excellent good thing.
The rest of this week has essentially been spent playing Mario Kart Wii and recovering from the ol' windy city where I went for a big work meetup last week. It was quite windy and rainy, actually. I haven't gotten the project which I intended to this week (revamping Hogwallop so it's in python and more readable) but I got some work done on that tonight, though I skipped out on doing the dishes to do it (sorry, sweets!).
Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good. Work is going well. School is good. I got an A in my phonology class, though I did sort of whine to the professor about grades right before the semester ended, but an A is an A, whining or no whining, I suppose, and I did also work my tail off on my final phonology paper. (Neapolitan consonant gemination FTW!!!). And on that note I'm off to bed.
