Tired of getting up off the couch to fetch another cold one?  Well, problem solved my friend!

So after clearing numerous other things off my plate and avoiding being derailed to work on Papendick.us, I've finally started work on the Yapter templating engine.  Nothing too exciting yet, but I have done the first round of code cleanup and internal documentation.  But before this sees the light of day I have a number things I'd like to do…

• Fix the error reporting so it doesn't spew errors to the screen unless you want it too.
• Debug and hopefully fix a couple of reported bugs.
• Add the ability to parse included templates.  (Currently it only allows static content in includes.)
• Build out the new project homepage.
• Rewrite the tutorial/example/documentation.
• Likely many other things I haven't thought of.

So today at work somebody mentioned flogging people who write bad code, which incidentally I'm all for.  Anyhow, there was a mention of using "The Stick of Pain" on them and the subsequent link to The day I killed the entire party before the first combat encounter.  I found this laugh out loud funny and so should you.  If not, "Shut up Lamont!"

So I trekked off to Michigan last Friday to go sit on a frozen lake and freeze my ass off.  Which is probably the best assessment of my trip being we all got shutout again this year.  I've got some pictures, but not as many as last year.  Less putzing around with the camera this time as it was cold, windy and somewhat snowy.  In any case I'll post them when I get a chance.
