These past few weeks, I've done nothing but child care and working on an entry for the Movable Type developer contest. I had an idea for a plugin just for my own personal use, and the contest motivated me to run with it and extend it to its natural conclusion. I've concluded that, as much as I love my new kid, I need a little bit of this sort of stimulation each day, and will go to great lengths to find the time, even loss of sleep. Which is a little weird considering I'm not even using MovableType for my blog yet.

It looks like I can catch up on a few Z's this weekend, because the deadline for the contest, originally today, has been extended to July 6. It sounds like a bunch of folks are putting at least as much into this as I am, so even if I don't claim one of the six prizes, at least there will be six cooler plugins than mine, which is a sort of prize of its own.

My wife was hoping this would all be over today.
