Back

 I'm now back from London and relaxing at home.

 Even though I'm on holiday I've still managed to answer at least two work-related emails every day this week. I guess they need me :)

 London was nice, actually London was as ugly as I remembered it, noisy, dirty, and confusing. What was actually nice was seeing people that I'd missed for the past year or so.

 The most touristy thing I did this trip was go round a few phone boxes and take down the prostitute advertising cards - that was fun; I have a plan to decorate my bathroom by mounting these behind some clear plastic.

Coding

 I've been doing more GNUMP3d2 coding in Perl. The only stumbling block I have at the moment is sharing data between fork()'d children using shared memory. Once that's resolved, and I have a good plugin system we'll be ready to release.

 On top of that I realised I could add support for streaming movies as well as audio - so I added support for streaming MPEG's in a couple of minutes. That was nice.

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.
