Finals Week, OpenId

Ugh, it's finals week. I don't have any spare time...not even for WoW.

At work, we're looking at OpenId, which looks like a cool idea. I'm working on a feasibility study to proof it out - provider in .Net, relying party in Java. Given that I've never done much Java, it is taking quite a bit longer than I'd like, but I'm getting close to having it wrapped up.

Finals will be over soon (less than a week), and the holidays are coming up, so I'm hoping to get time to work on the simulations.

Leveling my rogue

I spent too much time over the weekend playing my rogue - Meemie. Leveling went pretty fast, though, and I was able to go from 11 to 17. Brizel and Neomage also formed a 2v2 arena team to start accumulating arena points. So far, we're 1-9, but hopefully we get better as we go. We also played our Warlocks for a bit, and hit 47.

I'm still trying to decide what to do with my mage to get good gear. Should I drop skinning and pick up tailoring so I can get the Spellfire set? What about engineering?

My hunter also needs gear. It seems unfair that the tailoring recipes are attainable without running heroics, but the dragonscale leatherworking gear requires primal nethers (except for the bracers).

The OpenGL examples project needs some attention. I did manage to complete one example and start another, but its not working quite right. Hopefully, I can squeeze in some time this week.

My final exam is two weeks away, so time will be even more precious.
