Well, my conversion course is almost done, with 4 of 12 completed on the final stage, and so the last 6 weeks hasn't been totally in vain :) It's been a hard slog and my brain still hurts from cramming so much information in such a short time. Spending a couple of days lazing around a pool has definately helped some, but I think more of this sort of work is required as soon as possible :)
Given the amount of effort required for the course it probably wasn't the most sensible time to start really pounding on GDK again, but then for some reason I did anyway. The good news is that real progress has been made and the code now builds! Not only does it build but we have a testgdk program that responds to mouse clicks and runs tests! there's still a long way to go but the new web site and a new group of people interested and contributing (shock horror) has definately helped things move along nicely. http://www.david- reid.com/gtk2/
Apache is back to building again on BeOS and BONE continues to go from strength to strength. It'll give a few people a surprise when it's released. There's also been more involvement from a couple of guys who've been helping with apache for a while now, but the downside is they now kick my butt on new-httpd if the code doesn't build :) Peer pressure can be a great motivator can't it?? :))
Well, time to get some sleep as tomorrow is another day.
