Website hits
Found out to my pleasant surprise, via awstats that splike.com is the 3rd result on a google search for mpeg codecs. I wonder if my instructions have actually helped anyone besides me.. i got a lot of hits, but never any email or such.

Easter
Dorms were really quiet since most people went home for the long weekend. I have lots of relatives in Grand Rapids, so my family came here. Good food, good times.

School
Two tests, a paper, and research to be done this week.

ADOdb
Finally found the root of a double-encoding bug when inserting blobs into a postgres database. Still need to clean up some code to retrieve last inserted id, and then submit a patch.

Gentoo/KDE
Upgraded KDE to 3.1.1a and encountered my first major problem with gentoo's portage system. I think the source of the problem was that I had installed masked versions of some apps, like MySQL 4.0.12. At any rate, I had to do several remergings that shouldn't've been necessary, but it all works now.
