Mental note, blog more.

A little vacation, reading and some client commitments have muddled my personal tech work a bit recently, but here are the things I’ve been working on:

• Ruby (including writing my first Gem)
• RabbitMQ is installed and running
• More Scrum, general Agile, and Lean PM
• webDav server installed for my ToDo list
• some miscellaneous MySQL work
• UUID generation techniques
• AES encryption integration
• and a bit of cloud computing education (giving, not receiving)

I’m looking for some design patterns for queue-based applications.  I’ve got a few ideas I want to test out.  I hope to be able to cut my list down a bit as far as quantities of tech go.  I hate the idea of feeling too thin on something, but I’ve go so many interests, it’s hard to whittle them down sometimes.  In that vein, I saw an article on Diversification = Mediocrity which I’ll be exploring further here.

And I still need to set up that podcasting studio….
