Work

A frustrating day - interrupt driven. Managed to fire off a few simulation runs. Had some problems with my lack of Python grokking. [[]] * 5 didn't do what I thought it did :)

I have my 2nd year Viva in a few days. Worry time.

Hackerage

Did a bit more of gtk/python stuff. The list object doesn't seem to like having 1781 rows by 4 columns (the size of my inbox...). It took it, but the redraw was a bit sucky when resizing the columns. Not sure I like the GTK model, but it may just be that I haven't got the GTK mindset yet. I look back on my naive youth of MFC programming as halcyon days :)

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!
