• Got up, showered, made breakfast, cleaned the kitchen and checked my email.

• Read all of my RSS feeds

• Posted a short blog entry

• Cleaned up my Ruby script which updates our Darcs repositories and synchronizes them to a backup location

• Wrote rationale and design goals for re-developing our in-house content management system using Rails

• Began a project template in Circus Ponies Notebook

• Researched fast, wide prime lens options for my 20D

• Began work on a script for mirroring our Darcs repositories to Subversion repositories so we can continue using Trac
