I Need A New Hobby

How did I spend this lovely weekend? With the exception of Friday night, which was spent at my sister's watching a movie, I did almost nothing but write code the entire weekend. And I'd like to say that I was working on an uber-cool project that will end world hunger, save the whales and bring balance to the Force all at the same time, but in reality I was merely working on rewriting rwho in C++.

It is slightly more than that - I am simultaneously working on something I am calling libmel. My original goal was merely to wrap old, clunky C APIs (like sockets) in a nice C++ layer. It has evolved into a sort of portability layer - I currently have a unifed socket interface for both Windows and Linux. Of course, the sockets API is almost identical on both platforms, so it really isn't much of a feat. What would be slightly more impressive would be to have a common utmp interface. I already have the code in rwho for reading from the Terminal Services API, so it should be feasible.

But there must be something seriously wrong with me that I come home from a week of writing code at work and then spend the entire weekend writing code for personal projects. I really need to find a new hobby, preferably one that involves meeting people.

I guess I do have bowling. Tonight, in fact. Time to sleep.
