Explosion of activity

Whether it's also an explosion of productivity remains to be seen, but one thing is unmistakable: I am a lot more active than I have been the last year.

Things I'm doing at the moment:

  • Writing an issue tracker using Grails
  • Using and exploring git
  • Exploring jQuery UI, writing a simple grails plugin for it
  • Pondering on features for another grails app: the next generation of our internal hour-tracking tool
  • Installing the fish shell and immediatly having fun, just like with grails and git
  • Making more use of TextMate instead of Eclipse, and exploring its ecosystem
  • Twittering
  • Blogging and writing

In other words: I'm having fun doing geeky things (or is it nerdy? they're both doubly foreign words for me). The strange thing is that I hadn't really noticed that I didn't have enough fun.

Having more fun goes hand in hand with being more active: waking up earlier, more eager to do things.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll keep this brief because I have stuff to do...
