Well, thanks to funny persons such as r4f, the advogato stats are running useless and the numbers are becoming plain wrong, as people are mocking around with the fields advogato offers. r4f is believed to be a particpant of 21 projects. Taking a look on his page shows that most of them are moot.

I'm not saying they do anything actually wrong, but then I don't think this is what this was intended for.

Hey friends, I just wanted to make you aware of the libcurl/curl questionnaire that we're currently running on the curl web site to figure out what people think about current things and what to focus on in the future. If you're a user, please drop by and fill-in. It is ten question that'll take just a few minutes of your time.

A summary will be posted by the end of the month.

I am amused by the fact that (one of) the GNOME guys went ahead and implemented yet-another HTTP library. It just proves that we open source guys spend far too much time re-inventing already existing and freely available wheels just for the sake of writing them again...

Oh well. The more the merrier I guess!

My web site is back again. Somewhat limping still. All crontab jobs need to be set again so the advogato stats didn't run yesterday as has been the standard practice the last year...

Our counter-strike server is also up again to many people's great relief! :-)

My web site is dead. Lots of sites on the same box are dead.

A funny little person managed to get in, and while in he didn't only send away a flood of spam mails. He deliberitely removed /bin, /home and /var.

That crippled the box slightly...

That project I once maintained named Dancer (an IRC bot), is not anything I do anything on anymore.

Yes, it means that if you wanna do something with it or want something done, there's not much point in talking to me. Get on the mailing list, make things happen!

And as a matter of fact, the project Dancer-ircd is totally unrelated. At least I've been told so.

cURL replaced wget in the Mac OS X 10.1 release, which of course made me feel mighty proud and happy. Reading the postings on slashdot of course made me realize that many people don't realize that for most uses, they can do pretty much everything with curl that they did with wget. Just not get anything recursively.

and that was never the intention

I've tried to persuade the wget people into moving their mirror engine ontop of libcurl for transport, but I don't think I've succeeded very well! ;-)

cURL also advanced to the main CD in the Redhat 7.2 release.

Now, if I could only get enough attention and time from a few persons so that we could start working on that new "pull" style interface...

Aniversary!

It is now just over one year ago I started running my weekly automatic summaries of the advogato certificate and user situation.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
