Had a great time this afternoon at a gathering where, bizarrely, I saw people from about five groups of friends I had never seen together, and met several people I only knew from online. It was a lot of fun, even if none of us could throw a Frisbee more than ten feet straight

Take my most recent post, on HostLauncher. The writing was actually worse before I revised it, but I'll leave it in its present form as an example. I had been awake for 27 hours when I posted it, which undoubtedly contributed to the post's lack of coherence.
Conclusions? I'll attempt to write more clearly, in an attempt to keep what few readers I still have. And I'll stop posting when I'm exhausted. Despite the feeling of accomplishment I get from a public cry of "yeah! it's finished!" after a long night of hacking, my embarrassment at seeing the next morning what I posted should be enough to dissuade me from posting in the first place.
Spent way too much time last night and this morning working on HostLauncher. But a feature works now.
In late July of last year, I started working on HostLauncher in my free time. Since then I've started, and finished, many other smaller programming projects. HostLauncher has been in a semi-usable state for launching since October, and for editing since January. I've decided to put aside the other two projects I've been working on—debugging ICeCoffEE Terminal support and client-side digest authentication support for Radio/Frontier—and focus on HostLauncher for a few weeks.
Last night I implemented a good first pass at Terminal integration: a big usability benefit. I just triaged bugs into four areas: major, minor, polish, and post-1.0 work. There are two items in the major category, one much more difficult than the other. It's implementing the protocol-specific connection editing, so SSH connections actually behave like you'd expect. I'm still not sure to do here, but more design work is definitely in order.
Chimera 0.2 is also out. It's very nice looking, because it uses ATSUI anti-aliased text rendering, and form fiends work too! To hyatt, pink, and everyone else who worked hard on this, thanks, and keep it up! (Hyatt, enjoy your vacation…)
Mozilla ATSUI rendering test build is available. It's the Mach-O Mozilla, so it's missing such essential features as keyboard shortcuts and forms, but it sure is pretty.
GraphicConverter feature I accidentally stumbled on: You can crop an image by selecting a portion of it, then double-clicking within the marquee.
