wow - long time no diary, must have been those
exam thingies and general slackness
gnue - have been tracking the GNUE mailing list. It
looks as though it could be really exciting if put together
correctly. I have already written one billing application
for the University and if GNUE would help me avoid the pain
I'd be very glad. Although I can
appreciate Derek's diary
entries in relation to some of the traffic on the list.
music - peformed Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky with
PUCS in late June ... sounded beautiful
rrdtool -
played with rrdtool recently for a project at work, it's
quite good and mind boggingly simple to use. My only wish
(or itch) is that there are no
nice front ends out there for my particular application,
which is a SCADA style monitoring application. It looks
like we may have to go
with a commerical application instead, not that this is
neccessarily a bad thing - it just doesn't give the warm
fuzzy feeling that open source does.
evolution - downloaded the .debs of 0.3.1 it's
progessing wonderfully, although the only thing I think I
can offer to the project at the moment is my input on the
mailing list. P75's are really painful to do any
development nowadays.
it's a small world after all - saw a posting to
the Australian choral mailing lists about a web site that skud wrote, is the Australian online
community really that small? :)
gnome 1.2 and helixcode - set up a workstation at
with the helixcode .debs. Things just worked, it's a nice
feeling. It was like working on the Mac again. It's nice
when you tell someone has cared about the code that they
have written.
university - passed exams, although I feel that
one of my units this semester is going to be painful
code_rush - watched it on TV tonight. yakk named dropped :) Good
documentary, it's amazing how organisations can change in
just over a year
