Bah, I'm not even certified as apprentice under this new account, so can't add a reply to MartySchrader's article pointing him in the direction of other virgule code bases that have already made improvements. Maybe I'll get more hacking done in 2005 if I don't waste 5 mins a month writing a diary here. Unlikely though.
So long and thanks for all the foss.
As a couple of people have noted already, a few advogato accounts are broken. I am supposed to be redi but trying to log in, or even visit my page, tells me there's no such account, but I'm still listed on e.g. PStreams and mysqlcppapi.
salmoni says his account returned, without his certs. skx (nee Stevey) is having the same problems. Could there be a corrupt account that occurs alphabetically somewhere near redi and salmoni? (that wouldn't explain how richdawe survived).
For anyone doing forensics, my account became unreachable just before the recentlog disappeared a few days ago. The recentlog returned, but I didn't.
skx points out our diaries still exist. Time to look at the mod_virgule code ...
Since I can't post to my own diary ... Someone suggested I increase the version number of PStreams from 0.5 to 1.0, since it's functional and fairly stable. I had been planning on making some big, unstable changes but maybe I should release 1.0 as is and make the changes for v2. I dunno.
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!
