I’m such a Shiny whore. I was working on a love machine (in python and django which I still quite like). I got pretty far along, but got stuck on how to deal with the creation and management of groups and let it drop. Carolyn just posted an entry about books we’re reading, and I’d seen other bloggers (like dadblog) whom I’ve not read in ages (sorry Joe) who have a little books sidebar. Suddenly I have an idea, I could write something like that. You put in a book title, image, review, etc. Maybe it could even link to your amazon associates page for that book (or, even better, my amazon associates page). That should be easy to write.
Of course,
-
It’s already been written — it’s called now reading.
-
The author had the good sense to use the image, etc. from amazon — less work for the blogger
but
at least right now, I can’t get to it (dns trouble for robm.me.uk it seems). And already I’m scheming to commute by BART more to steal time from work and home to work on something like this. Stop me. Stop me now. Stop me before I code again!
