GNUpdate

We'll be releasing new versions of libpackman and gpkg within the next couple of weeks. I haven't been following the "Release Early, Release Often" philosophy, because things just haven't been usable for awhile. Now they are, and I think it's the best time to get the updates out there. Hopefully I'll pick up some new developers or beta testers.

Life

I attended the orientation today for Phi Theta Kappa. Unless I missed something stupid, I meet all the requirements to join, and will be sending in the application within a few days. Phi Theta Kappa should provide a lot of benefits down the road. Scholorships is one of the more important parts. It will be cool to be able to wear the Honors Stole during my highschool graduation ;)

Oh, and I met this cute girl the other day. She came up to me at the bus stop on Monday and we talked for awhile. She's fun to talk to, and is a good artist. Now I just have to get her to show me her writing. It's rare that cute girls come up to me and want to talk. I guess I've always just considered myself an uninteresting geek. She'll probably stumble across this now. Heh.

I think I'll get some more work done on GNUpdate.. Prepare for the release and all. Anybody want to volunteer to do some language translation? :)
