Hmm, August, two weeks left till finals... Yesterday I updated sawfish.org, Sawfish 1.0 was only announced three weeks late ;) Today I'm doing the laundry and reading tzfile(5). Wheeeee.

Today I was the guy playing guitar for "Dmitry and the DMCA" at the Boston Park St. T stop. We had a good turnout, >30 people, a lot of fliers, and hopefully some more informed non-geeks.
I joined the EFF today, and have been trying to recruit people for a Free Sklyarov protest in Boston.
Midterms finished today. To celebrate that, I dove into the ximian-setup-tools code and came very close to drowning. Chema deserves thanks for his patience and availability for dealing with neophytes like me, even when he has lots to do. Hopefully I'll have my first real end-user-visible code in the GNOME CVS within a week.
In other news, a group of my friends and I decided to go to a movie. One of my friends had been to the theater, and said that it was close by, so we decided to walk from Harvard. An hour later, we arrived at the theater... in Alewife. We took the T back, and were home within ten minutes, having missed any chance of seeing a movie. It's 3:48 AM right now, and I have to be up at 6 to go on a trip to Dartmouth. I guess a sane sleep schedule can wait....
I'm at harvard summer school right now. I've contributed two more patches, which were fixes to my previous patch *blush*. I spent the day wrestling with vicious-build-scripts and the current state of GNOME anoncvs. I'm happy with my grades , school and otherwise, but the fact that midterms are in a week is freaking me out.
School, SATs, and AP tests are all over. I contributed my
first patch
today, which I'm very happy about. Soon I'll be heading to
Harvard to do their summer program. Life is good :)
How long is themes.org going to be down?
Well, I'm going back home to the bay area tomorrow, one week after LWE is finished, of course. I'm not bitter, really......
Coding: My python irc bot is fully functional, with a userlist and a database module. Just a couple more bugs before it's ready for public consumption. Also, I've got a patch for customizing the [double|triple] click [distance|timeout]. All I have to do is submit it and see why my approach didn't work ;-)
Ideas:
Libglade has an xml file that contains signal and widget
data. Would it be possible to write an extension to libglade
that allows it to automatically script applications? For
example, let's say xchat was all libglade-based. A script
could tell libglade to put "hello, world" into the chat
entry widget, and then call the send_chat signal. A wrapper
could be written by the author, or even someone else, so one
could call chat(hello, world!) and add scripting without
having to touch the source. Sound feasible?
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.
