I should have known better than to even hint that life was getting back to normal. We're back on weekends and overtime at work.
Personal life is also a bit hectic. So, Debian stuff is postponed in favour of sleep in most cases. I'll clear what bugs I can, but new code is at the bottom of the list.
On the good side, my daughter Caoimhe, started Walking! Its good to get home and see the kids. Spring is coming. I'd like to get out and see some of it.
Ok, well, death march at work effectively over. There are still demands for weekend work to get other releases out, but we will get a chance to recover.
And hopefully I get to clear up bugs in debian-installer and newt.
In particular, hacking on newt / slang to properly support UTF-8 (multibyte characters, wide-characters on entries, etc), and BIDI (Add fribidi support).
Oh, and breakage in console-tools due to 2.6 input-layer kernel changes continues, and some fixes for kbd-chooser (debian-installer) needed.
I hope to do an upload to debian experimental this weekend of these newt changes. Lets see if I get the chance this time.
Nearly six months. Should update this.
Ok, So I've moved to Dublin, Ireland to get work. I'm now living in Maynooth, so I've got ADSL (yay!) and even in range of IrishWan. Joining is on my list of things to do someday.
Only, work is insanely busy right now, so priorities are family and Debian commitments. In Debian, I'm working on BIDI for the Debian Installer, and console-* bugs.
The MEng in SW Engineering is also postponed, at least until Debian Sarge is out the door, and work pressure eases off.
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.
