Having problems connecting to Advogato quite often - no idea why - so I've decided to write my journal entries as email and add them later so the dates may be wildly off from now on.

Tuesday

I have been writing more Scheme again, continuing the move of all the Pattern scripts to not only work on the current image but to also work with the current selection if there is one.
Some of the scripts have almost been completely rewritten. I have added, I have removed, I have restructured, I have commented extensively (hopefully it will be useful to people trying to learn Scheme), I have changed the indentation to use four spaces, I have renamed all the variable-names to look like how they should in Scheme but I have shamelessly ignored the usual scheme convention and instead of jamming all the parenthesis together ))))) I have spaced them out so I can visually check they match without needing a fancy editing program.

I cannot help wondering at what point code ceases to be covered by the GPL?
How much use is fair use? How much must you rewrite before you can reasonably call the work your own?

Projects and study to do for University, a little Flash and a lot of Database work.

Wednesday

Created a project page for OpenClipart.org on freshmeat

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!
