BTW, congratulations on taking French lessons! I did that this spring too. I was born and bred in southwestern Ontario, where I was a lot more likely to hear Dutch than French. So while I took French in school for years, I never got to use it -- until I got here, and figured I'd better brush up. Bonne chance!
Hacking: Bézier curves in Haskell
Tonight: James Brown -- get up!
dyork, zeevon: there are an awful lot of us Ottawans here, aren't there? Seems the numbers are growing.
ottawaDave: curious to see what you do with the Ottawa Python Authors Group. I've been hacking Python for a while now, and use it lots with my current gig. I'd be curious to see what else people are doing with it.
hacking: a quick parser for a small subset of Oracle DDL SQL using a great parser generator. Good fun. Now, to think more deeply about the various issues with modelling data for RDBMS storage, and modelling it for XML storage...
Don't think about this too much before trying to go to sleep. Makes for weird dreams...
Woo! Nothing like a foot of freshly-fallen snow to make one feel Canadian! I'm sure I left my car in front of the house, but I don't see it...
Wrapping up a DocBook SGML -> HTML translation project. Definitely ready to move on to the next thing...
Lucky you -- looks like you'll be getting here just in time for a charming Ottawa winter. 8^)
Saturday: Toronto Festival of Beer. Death by a thousand cups...
Yep, ciphersabre is kinda neat. I went and did one. It was fun.
Inika came back from Australia this weekend, bearing wonderful gifts:
It was good to be back in Toronto on such a gorgeous weekend. Nothing better than wandering around on a sunny afternoon drinking quality beer.
I continue to spend large portions of my day hacking OmniMark code.
Biked along the Ottawa River for a bit this evening -- watched the sun go down over the Gatineaus. Beautiful...
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.
