I still intend to have a close look at the opensource graphing solutions some time, and give a talk on them. I may end up doing the same for the mathematical tools - could be a two-part series. Very early days, though. (But I could recycle the talks for a meeting of EdLUG, my local Linux User Group.)
More realistic is that I finish my IRC logging bot (hopefully complete with "grep" and "tail" interfaces) and get the department onto the server. All howtos and powerpoint presentations are prepared. I should get into gear! :)

The IRC logging bot is nearly fully functional - I hit an interesting problem with the flood limit on the test server - I can only post 2 lines every 2 seconds.
That means I need to learn how to spawn off the bot's query reply subroutine as a separate thread/process if I don't want the script to get pinged out when in heavy use. (A grep query which returns lots of hits will suffice, and I don't want to put a cap on the number of query results returned.)
So I'll probably have to learn about threading in Perl.
