Sudden spate of work: on top of the day job, for next month I have to write a feature on Linux web application tools for Computer Shopper and a cover article on politics and open source for Linux Today, in addition to the usual Linux column in Shopper. There's suddenly an explosion of new Linux magazines in the UK, and for some reason I seem to be in demand.

On top of this, I'm working on a new release of NetServer::Generic (improved Solaris support, thanks to Lincoln Stein), and doing some early work on NetServer::Compiler (translation: getting round to re-reading the Dragon book). Free time? What's that?

Oh, and I finish at DataCash next month, and still have to nail down what to do next. At least there doesn't seem to be any shortage of work out there for a Perl monkey like me ...
