        Assignment: Do More Stuff

    Get over your fears of checking in code
        Why don't you check in code?
        Why don't you check in code early?
        Why don't you check in code often?
        Stop doing that!

    Come up with a Do More Stuff project
        What is something that you want to do?
        Maybe a tool that will help you do a task that you have to do often?
        Ideas that I have implemented:
            A program that sends me text messages when my credit card is due
            A web page with daily and random Jargon File entries (also feeds)
            A tool to generate a Google Sitemap file from Subversion metadata
            Tools for showing del.icio.us bookmarks on my site including tags
                from bundles and thumbnails for flickr picture bookmarks
            A program that makes the del.icio.us bookmarks on Britta's site
                have fancy quotes rather than straight quotes
            A program that makes a site map from my Search Engine's XML index
            A system of makefiles to keep my site in line and such
       Talk about your ideas
       Tell me what you are going to do
       Maybe even commit the beginnings of your project during class
