I'll break the news since he hasn't said anything yet. mikeszcz just got a Sony R505 laptop. He told me he'd try it out and give me all the juicy details before I make my laptop decision (school's starting soon enough and I want to be comfortable with my laptop by the time it starts). Of course, I haven't seen him online at all tonight. He's probably messing with getting linux on it or something like that.

Work on gabber2 is slowly progressing. GtkTextView and GtkTreeView are quite a bit more complex than their gtk1 predecessors. I wouldn't mind, as they clearly seem to be powerful for whoever their target audience is, except I don't appear to be in the target audience. I just want to do a few things with them, and the few things I want to do seem to involve a lot more work on my end than it used to. At least both widgets seem a lot more willing to take however much data I want to throw at them. That's definitely a major improvement (especially over GtkText). This may take even longer than I orginally anticipated...

(update: grammar. pfft.)
