Coding

My process simulator is coming along nicely, and I actually documented some of it today :) I've been adlibing data structures in Python, and thought I'd better document what it all means somewhere :)

BeOS

I keep playing a little with BeOS. I have the personal version installed on my workstation. I just can't really get into it, and I'm trying to decide if it's BeOS or I'm just too set in my ways. I tend to rely on having quick access to a hetrogenous network of machines at my fingertips and random files spaces spread about on other machines. Between network transparency in X and automounted nfs drives I no longer tend to think in terms of just one machine, I just tend to run processes where they're appropriate. Thus when I switch to Windows or BeOS I suddenly find myself feeling straight jacketed.

Is it just me? I have friends who try to convince me that other stuff is better, and while I admit my X setup is server steps behind in evolution (ha), it suits me perfectly (see here).

What I really want to see is a QoS OS like Nemesis. Perhaps I should try to find time to write it, or at least start the ball rolling. Oh for more hours in the day :)

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.
