sisob: "Found q net connection but it's really hard to type on this french keyboard." Ha! Now that's comedy. I hqd the sq?e experience recently.

I've taken to using a personal web-log, so I don't post here as often as I should. I still read the recentlog daily. What's new?

I'm working regularly these days, which is nice.

My patch to Metacity for a better window-handling mechanism turned out to be harder than I thought it would be, so it's requeued into my "stuff to do" list.

Reading of bgeiger's enthusiasm for Go has gotten me interested. I play a simpler off-shoot game called "Pente" that I learned at school in third grade. I teach the simple rules to every poor soul who comes to my apartment and play them until they get pretty good. Last fall I even bought a roll-up vinyl Go "board" for carrying around, as the boards are the same dimensions. However, if I'm going to play Go, I'll need to purchase some pieces; Pente games are relatively short, and therefore one needs far fewer pieces, so I'm a couple hundred pieces short.
