Hello

Hi. This is testy. Today has been a rough day. jordan's been running me a billion times per second, and kept on messing with my internals. Arrrg! I just wish he would leave me be already. However, I am happy that he made me all pretty and smooth by using urllib.urlencode() instead of using a stupid string hack. Anyways, later.

New Advogato Features

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!
