Campaigning

I had a reply from Jeremy Wright MP today regarding EDM 2141 - he's going to sign it.

I'm going to think a bit about how to follow up on this. My desk is looking far too cluttered with House of Commons stationery at the moment.

mod_macro

Interesting discovery of the evening: the third-party Apache module "mod_macro", packaged as libapache2-mod-macro for Debian. Awesome.

EDM 2141

Following Dan's lead, I have emailed Jeremy Wright, MP for Rugby and Kenilworth, concerning EDM 2141. Watch this space.

Interesting Times

I haven't written a blog entry for a week; obviously I have been busy with interesting things. Like xulrunner.

Procrastination may be a valid time management strategy. By prioritising tasks and doing the more important ones today, lesser tasks are pushed back. Occasionally these tasks then fall over a deadline, and disappear. Whether this is a good thing... I'm not sure, but this has happened to me with around three tasks this week. :)

That time of year again

I tend to update DateTime::Event::WarwickUniversity at around this time each year, according to the changelog. Version 0.05 will appear on CPAN with the next update. My testcases still pass, at least.
