I am currently being treated for pneumonia in the local hospital. So far, they have made over 100 mistakes and are treating me badly. They also throw their garbage on the floor, I am always picking up after the hospital staff.
I cannot work further on Mathomatic until I get home to my Ubuntu Desktop.
I can answer emails, though.
My Ubuntu desktop hard drive is failing, it is taking all day to copy it to a new 500 GB drive I just bought. Don't know if it will work to just "dd" the disks to make an exact copy. No errors yet, just extremely slow. If it works, I will be happily testing the new hard drive. CloneZilla didn't work at all for me. I tried the stable and latest versions, the latest version wouldn't run and the stable version gave nothing but functionality errors.
Only a few hours of sleep again, this is very bad for me.
Update: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" worked perfectly to clone and replace the hard drive! I am back in the Linux business!
I only got 4 hours sleep last night, but today I figured out how to update the Debian package for Mathomatic. I submitted version 15.6.2 by email to Sandro Tosi for approval. Next time I will do better, now that I understand how Debian packaging works.
I released Mathomatic version 15.6.2 today. All package builds successful and everything updated. It is quite a lot of work making a release. Next I have to figure out how to update the Debian package that Sandro Tosi so nicely made.
All is well in my new home.
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.
