Apart from helping Andi and Godefroid setting up the SVK-Mirror, playing table-tennis at the local gym hall and generally just having a grand time I’ve started doing some actual work today (hear, hear!). Together with Christian Scholz I’ve begun writing and working on PLIP #149 Improved Markup Support (may not be available publicly as I post this – we’ll have to see, how syncing our offline copy of plone’s documentation to the ‘live’ instance at plone.org will work out.)

While this PLIP is certainly not as ‘sexy’ as all the UI and AJAX stuff that’s mainly going on here it does have the big advantage that by working on it I’m scratching my own proverbial itch: I’m writing all my texts (including blog entries) using Markdown and/or Textile (in TextMate, of course) and am desperately looking forward to not having to manually convert them to XHTML before posting them.

Oh, and Skype Out rocks so hard..! I had to be away from my family in a foreign country to really get why skype is so cool...
