This week was a good week for learning more about coding. The Toronto Public Library hackathon turned out to be an excellent excuse to dig into geographic visualizations and user scripts, and I picked up a few search tips from the mentors there. My tiny hack for displaying branch search results on a map of neighbourhood libraries won the best idea prize at the hackathon, yay! I spent some time after the hackathon cleaning up my code and turning it into something I can use without having a server running. I'm starting to really like this practice of having lots of small tests, too – hooray for Jasmine! =) See my notes for more details.

Lots of Emacs-related stuff. Another edition of Emacs News, another Emacs Hangout, and lots of editing of the EmacsWiki. It's a good community, and it's nice to be able to help out.

Ups and downs, energy-wise, but W- thoughtfully stepped in with some mid-week cooking. He's so awesome. I'll probably take it easy for the next few weeks instead of tilting the balance towards consulting. Still, there's plenty to do and plenty to learn. =)
