Since my last entry the following things have been achieved:

  1. Simple graphs in the finance app, using QCanvas. It was easy to do but I'll probably have to rewrite it for printing to work properly.
  2. Volunteered to have a friend's birthday party at my house. oh no! what was I thinking? Two days to make stinkybachelorpad presentable.
  3. Got the Solaris version of WebLogic 6.0 working on Linux. Not expecting BEA to support us with this one. :)
    taj@hubris ~wls> ./weblogic600_sol.bin LAX_VM $JAVA_HOME/bin/java
    

  4. Closed 14 KDE bugs. Expect to close another 10 or so tonight.
Random observations:
  • IBM JDK is quick.
  • Python is wonderful.
  • I like my new Palm IIIx. Must learn how to program it.
  • I have no vegetables and my video player is broken.
  • Setting up a cross g++ for arm linux on i386 is a road fraught with peril.
  • Compiling KDE out of CVS for 4 days straight hoping nothing breaks the compile and that ld won't choose to sig11.... is also fraught with peril. Imagine that by the time you finish compiling the latest CVS on a netwinder, you are out of date by 4 days. Huh.
  • xg++ == lesser of two evils.

  • Must try FreeBSD on llama before I have to sell it.
  • Living alone for 3 months leads to the annoying of other KDE guys on IRC.
  • Mosix seems very impressive. I'm sure it can help me make my room full of junk computers moderately useful again.

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.
