I have been doing a bit of database work for the first time for ages, working on parsing the text file that holds the current Strange Horizons data into a sensible database format. It's fiddlier than one might hope, but I'm getting there. I also am finally starting to get the hang of doing things in mySql, even if I do constantly run up against useful things that just aren't there, plus the expected number of things which have different names than they do in SQL server. I still might be going to write a new website for the magazine, which would be pretty interesting if it comes off - I hope it does, I like coding projects :)
