Vacation and task backlogs

So I'm on vacation now!

I'm trying to get caught up in home life and personal projects, but it's slow going. So far:
* I went to create a PHP script to convert amazon URLs to affiliate links, to give Rosetta Code some unobtrusive income. Instead, I...
* Noticed that dkf is now on Rosetta Code, and has "Wrote the Book" listed for TCL under his language table in his wiki page. Saw that the link to M4 pointed to an empty page, went to create it, discovered it just needed a redirect, and noticed...
* the language page was non-uniform, and decided to act on an idea I'd had about fixing the language template to provide more information in a more consistent fashion.
* I was getting hungry, so I threw some leftovers in the microwave and put Animusic into my DVD player to listen to.
* I copied the language template to a beta page, and went to ask for suggestions to improve it in the Village Pump, only to discover I'd already asked back in February.
* So I modified the existing VP page to point out the new beta template, suggested people go to town adding features; Anything that works well would get added to the main language template.
* I noticed that the Animusic DVD had finished playing, and had been looping in the opening screen for something approaching an hour, so I went to get another DVD to play back.
* I put the other DVD in the DVD player, and noticed my screen had burn-in. I resolved to take a picture and ask about fixing it, so I went to get my USB/SDHC card, and remembered I'd finished upgrading Ubuntu on my laptop, so I could probably just transfer it over the phone.
* Then I realized I still hadn't eaten those leftovers. Pulled them out of the microwave, and...
* Wrote this blog post.
