Ask HN: What are you working on this weekend?

11 points by misterbwong ↗ HN
Looking through old Ask HN's, I saw this one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1500687 and thought it'd be interesting to resurrect.

So, HN, what are you working on this weekend?

I'll be finishing up my CS capstone's course requirements. Two weeks to graduation! :D

I was so relieved when my advisor let me use a previous undergrad research project as my capstone.

Congratulations!

Relaxing after a hectic week of bringing Shanghai online and upgrading all of Houston.

By relaxing I mean traveling to Austin for a 2 day rave!!

Congrats!

* Working through Code School if I don’t finish by tonight—doing Rails Best Practices.

* Upload my first music mix to my site. Still need to create an album cover and section on my site for it—was hoping for an invite to Designers.MX to make things easier before then but that didn’t pan out.

* Prep myself for the Intro. to Japanese course I’ll be taking starting next week. I’ve been trying to learn on and off on my own but always lose steam, but I want to at least recall the kana before Monday.

Japanese! The Hiragana and Katakana is the easy part too! Kanji broke me. Send an email to sherman.boyd at armored.io and I'll make you a gift of "Remembering the Hiragana","Remembering the Katakana" and "Remembering the Kanji" by James Heisig.

Dammit. This falls on a week-end where I have homework, an exam to study for, the girlfriend to handle, and work for my job. When's the next one?
joeld42
They usually happen three times a year, a big one sometime in April, and others in August and December.

And there's a mini-LD every month.

There's a "gamecompo" mailing list on the front page of the ludumdare hub site that you can sign up for, it just sends reminders a week or so before each compo.

Thanks for the tip! Just signed up for the mailing fist.

Trying to write a neo-noir nerd novel! I only get in that writing mood when I have other things that take priority. I can't let that happen forever.

A web app to get RSS feeds of HN filtered by keywords, points, etc. because I often miss valuable news in my areas of interest on HN. Was thinking about adding opencalais metadata too, but that's out of my MVP I think.

Building a simple photo sharing app as an exercise to learn Django and some jQuery. My background is in math / scientific computation so it's interesting to see things from this perspective. I'm hoping to start freelancing in a few weeks :)

Not working...leaving for my first vacation in 11 years. (The vacation is being shoehorned around a business trip my wife has to take. Otherwise, it would have been at least 12 years between our vacations...)
