I'm graduated, married, and a bit smarter than I was the last time I posted. Amazing how much one grows up in a couple of years. Anyways, my new "passion" is python, and I'm writing my research project in grad school using this magnificent tool.

I think I've sold out. Being as I no longer use Linux (I use FreeBSD), I wonder if I'm even "relevant". Anyways, watch this space.

There has been quite a time laspe between my current and last posts, for which I apologize, but my life is finally starting to straighten out. I recently quit working at <A HREF="http://www.innovates.com/>Innovates</a> due to the fact that it is nearing the time for me to go back to school. Also, after some good discussions with my employer about compensation and back pay, I have finally been able to set myself up financially for the coming semester. It's been a lot of work, heartbreak, and disappointment so far, but I've learned a ton and have no regrets. Thanks to all my friends on #gnome for advice and support. <p> Peace out. <p> RTMFD Thu, 6 Jul 2000 11:09:02 GMT http://www.advogato.org/person/rtmfd/diary.html?start=2 http://www.advogato.org/person/rtmfd/diary.html?start=2 Busily creating specs and test for my project at work, the "Digital Music Machine". Had an interesting conversation about the environment with <a href="/person/eskil">eskil</a>, <a href="/person/mjs">mjs</a>, and others on #nautilus.<BR> <p> Playing with ogg vorbis a lot lately (on recommendation from <a href="http://www.advogato.org/person/raph" >raph</a>). It's a way cool format and an xmms plugin is available for decoding vorbis streams. All I can say is "Look out Fraunhofer, Vorbis will be eating your lunch soon."<BR> <p> Other than that, I'm going through an interesting time of my life. I'm not really sure where I'm going, but I'm pretty damn excited to be going there. Work is enjoyable, my finances _could_ be in better shape, and my GPA's a little low for my tastes, but I have confidence that things are on the right track. <p> L8r!

After banging my head against a brick wall for about a week contemplating the best way to tackle the caching issue in librsvg, I think I've finally figured out the "best" solution. Talked with raph a couple of nights ago about stuff. He's an interesting dude. <p> Peace out to all my homies at eazel <p> -<A HREF="/person/mjs">mjs</a><BR> -<A HREF="/person/eskil">eskil</a><BR> -<A HREF="/person/pepper">pepper</a><BR> <p> Oh, by the way, there's a kid named Carbamide learning to code C knockin' around irc.gimp.org on the #gnome and #nautilus channels. Please help him out if he's stuck.

Nite all.
