Yesterday was the celebration of 25 years in the Kitchener/Waterloo community for The Working Centre. Well over 500 people passed through the three Working Centre buildings on Queen Street South. Groups of people toured through The Working Centre's various project and community services areas including the new apartments at 66 Queen Street, the new Computer Recycling, job counseling, Recycled Cyces, the Queen Street Commons cafe, and a number of other interesting projects.
Needless to say it was a busy day. By the time I got home I'd spent 12 hours walking around. It's funny the kind of energy an event like this requires, it makes you appreciate politicians more. Speaking of which, I had the opportunity to meet Carl Zehr, Mayor of Kitchener. I've seen Mayor Zehr at various events before, but this was the first chance I got to speak with him, and he's a really down to earth guy. I understand why he's been reelected.
But this is a web log about Iceutils development and I've rambled off topic (my excuse for not getting anything done). The plan is to try to finish a basic prototype of the next utility for the suite this weekend. I'm going to skip the Drupal conference in Toronto. I've already had a huge week with KWLUG and the 25th Anniversary Celebration. In version 1 or 2 of the software I had a pretty good tool that eventually got dropped. Unfortunately I can't simply go back to that tool and use the code because it was written in TCL, not C. I could change things, but it would take me almost as much time as it would to recode the tool in C, and I think I could do a better job.
