Been very busy recently. Lots of school work and other personal problems. Hopefully they will all be resolved soon.

Started learning how to use emacs. html-mode feels kinda funny, but I'm trying to get used to it.

Hacked a bit of NS 4.7 Xdefaults stuff, found a nice set of bindings. Also filed my first mozilla bug, Bug #36401. Bugzilla (and other mozilla web tools) is really cool and the mozilla community a really cool bunch of hackers. (Heya, akk!)

Talked with adrian and shaver for a bit on #gnome about how i should start getting the lab here up and going. Adrian convinced me to start simple: single NFS host and scp /etc/passwd file. I think this is a good idea. Trying to learn more about LDAP, cuz both adrian and shaver think it is really cool and it does sound like it's a really powerful infrastructure. Hopefully I'll find more time next year to work on a more permenant solution.

I really wish there's a way to export diary entries. I keep my own activity-log on sacrilege.org and other people (ie. miguel and ettore ) also keep off-site diaries. Wouldn't it be nice if Advogato can read and track my diary on my own site and mirror them here? That way, i can write full HTML with emacs instead of a wacky browser textbox widget. Talked to Wereyak about this, maybe DiaryWatcher can expand to do this. Hmm, this sounds like a good coding project to start my coding career. ;)
