OK, I might as well 'fess up. Maybe it'll give me the extra kick I need
to finish some of these things. I'm currently working on:

- Writing something that will talk to an imap server and make an archive
of an email account that I have no access to except via imap. I've got
something working using cl-postoffice, but now I'm thinking I should have
used mel-base... oh well, in any case it's just about working... except it
writes mbox format that other programs don't seem to like reading very
much. Must get around to fixing that some time.

- Converting an old project of mine
(http://www.abstractnonsense.com/portfolio/ocr.html) from Java to Lisp,
and being constantly amazed at how much smaller it's getting. I've
converted about 90% of it now.

Cheers,
Bill.
