Hello blog, long time no post.

HAL

Just released HAL 0.2.90, which was about time. There's been good progress since 0.2.6 with a lot of excellent patches from both Joe and Robert. Nowadays, we even got our own mailing list, and there's also a Project Utopia list! Yay!

India

I was in India on business about 4-5 weeks ago to visit a branch office in Bangalore. It was my second time going, was there 1.5 years ago, and I still find India filled with contrast and other odd things. I had about two days of spare time, so I went to Mysore, situated about 200 km south of Bangalore, to see temples and stuff. For a short while I actually felt like the dot in freedesktop.org :-) Oh well, it was a great trip. I'd wish that it had been longer than a week so I would have more time to explore.
