Wow, it's been eons since I made a diary entry... scary.

Big news for me is that I passed my comprehensive exams, so now I've been elevated from being a "doctoral student" to a "doctoral candidate." So now I have more to show for 3 years than the lousy T-shirt... :-)

I've been futzing with woody CD scripts and a few other things. Currently I'm fighting with DirecTV's online account access to figure out how to add HBO without killing my local channels in the process...

No, Mulad, the reporting of Miguel's talk wasn't the problem... it was that the raving hordes of first-post trolls at ./ are such karmawhores that they think anything other than slavish devotion to command lines is verboten. Not to get off on a rant...

M17 has a weird bug in that scrolled text entries seem to make the text being entered in them disappear on Win32. Maybe I should report it (or maybe it's abuser error) ;-)

Pretending to be a secretary is, um, interesting, particularly when you're cleaning up their leftover messes.

Potato release notes seem to be progressing nicely. Joey Hess seems to have distilled my verbiage into something worth reading. Perhaps if there's call for a book-length version of the release announcement, I'll write it. ;-)

reportbug: no bugreps is good news. 1.1r4 must have been fine... or at least runnable. I think I took "release early and often" a bit too far...

Current job: Pretending to be a secretary since our department's former secretary quit/was fired (depending on who you ask). Fun...

Debian stuff: I have made four distinct releases of "reportbug 1.1" to incoming in the last 12 hours. I swear bumping to 1.0 cursed my code. Anyway, if you downloaded 1.1 from incoming, make sure you get the one that's there now.

The other news is that I'm putting together the Debian 2.2 release announcement on debian-publicity. Lots of good feedback so far; if you want to take a poke at it, either join the list or ask me to email you a copy.

infodragon: You may want to look at either GtkHTML or CscHTML; the latter is de-GNOME-ified. From the screenshot, the latter looks like it can render Slashdot decently, which Mozilla definitely doesn't. (Not that I've played with either widget myself.)

RoutePlanner is hovering near a 0.4 release while I simultaneously improve the detailed database (you can now visit the Maritime Provinces of Canada and a few more relatively obscure hamlets of Mississippi) and look for bugs in the editor. I kinda wish the FTP admins would process the new packages at ftp-master.debian.org, if only so I could get some more testers. Of course, there's this little thing called potato too... :-)

Speaking of FTP, I'm thinking of fooling with reimplementing Apt-Proxy using FTP and HTTP instead of rsync and piping through downloads to the requester (apt-proxy blocks until the whole file arrives, which makes apt-get timeout on big files on a serial link). Maybe I'll get some work done on it sometime...
