What are you working on? February 2013

This is the bimonthly 'What are you working On?' thread. Previous threads are here. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started.
Why this project and not others? Mention reasons why you're doing the project and/or why others should contribute to your project (if applicable).
Talk about your goals for the project.
Any kind of project is fair game: personal improvement, research project, art project, whatever.
Link to your work if it's linkable.

It turns out that I'm not very good at doing personal projects when I have a job. In order of most-recently-done-anything-on:

I'm writing up a solution to the shooting room paradox. I've been doing this for about a month. Currently in "proofreading and latexing" stage.
I wrote a debugging tool which I've found useful a couple of times at work, but haven't been successful at getting feedback on. Realistically, there's a good chance that I won't touch it again until I need it to do something that it can't yet.
This has been pushed aside by the shooting room, but I've been working through PT:TLOS and typing up solutions to the exercises.

The shooting room paradox is a neat one.

Later your mother learns that you entered the room. How worried should she be? Extremely: About 90 percent of the people who played this game were shot.

... 90% once the game is over, but 0% if it's not yet, so it all depends on what other information is available to her, right?
