More a general Meditation/Wife status report than anything else.

Last night I was hacking away at a new project I call MyRestSql. MyRestSql is a REST interface to a MySQL table that is programmed using the Meditation Framework. It is (again) a dogfood eating exercise, but it might be useful to some other folk out there. Currently the only request it answers is GET, but I'll be implementing DELETE, PUT and POST soon.

I've also tried to make it as modular as possible. Currently MyRestSql talks to a MySQL database, and outputs XHTML fragments—in a micro-format where ever possible. However, there is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from implementing a PostgreSql backend, or an XML front-end. I've tried to make that as easy as possible.

Right now the code exists in the meditation SVN repository only. But it will be available once Meditation 0.6 comes out.

All this was done to the soundtrack of my wife mixing rekkids. She beat-mixed more then a few times. You might think that hearing the same few songs being beat-mixed—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—would get on ones nerves, but this was far from the case. It felt really good. I was creating code, she was creating music (well how much a DJ is creating is an argument for another day). It felt really good for us to both be engaged in something deeply creative. We were jamming.
