Misc

Lazy weekend. Spent yesterday getting new trainers and looking for knee pads, but failing to find any. Today I regretted not getting knee pads, as I'm buised all over after today's snowboarding lesson. Ouch. Now I'm off to grab a sandwich and go see Billy Elliot with my better half. Tired (though probably not as tired as adamd is at the moment...).

Upgraded my network card to 100 Mbit. Had to tell Kudzu to "F*ck off, I know better than ye!" The driver for the card that RedHat uses by default hangs our network - it drives the line constantly, something that is not good on an ethernet network :-) But by using the de4x5 driver rather than the default tulip one, and a bit of documentation reading, I was able to get it up and working.

LaTeX

Started work on the site. The html is at home, but I'll try and put it up on G141 at some point tomorrow. It's bare - submissions will be needed :-)

SWARM

Bah. Need to write documentation before putting it on the web. :-( Give me a day or so...

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.
