What a amazing fucking week! Unfortunately, most of it is stuff I can't talk about yet.

I'm gearing up for the Printing Summit next week (this week?). I just finished drafting the Gnome presentation, and have also commented on the Ghostscript one. People might start to get the idea that I'm masterminding a vast conspiracy to take over 2D imaging in the free software world. Not to say they'd be wrong, of course :)

I've been working really hard, possibly too hard. Yesterday Heather took Alan and Max to the beach with their visiting out of town relatives, while I stayed at the studio and did 6 hours of billable work. Well, we'll see how much my life is going to allow taking things a little easier.

I'm finding myself liking PDF 1.4. There's quite a bit of real cleverness in there, of the kind that I sometimes miss. Implementing it efficiently is going to be a real intellectual challenge. Good! I just hope the patent thing doesn't blow up.
