Older blog entries for strlen (starting at number 4)

In the days leading up to today I have:

* Redone my homepage yet another time.
* Renamed my P233 from 'alex` to `nebula`
* Redone many things in my .Xdefaults
* Played around with PHP

and of course:
* Worked a bit on the secret project.

Currently I am looking forward to upgrade my P233 (need to add more ram and may be get a different case).

In the time since I last wrote an entry I have:

* Done significant work on my project. Found some sample source to base my future developments on. No, I can't tell what the project is about.

* Refined my .Xdefaults. Now switched the color scheme to black on white. Looks really nice. I use with the sawmill window manager with Absolute-E theme and GNOME with lucidasans-10 font and default theme.

* Switched to zsh. Zsh is a cool shell. Check it out at http://www.zsh.org

I have done some minor changes to my Linux-on-Compaq-1274- laptops howto, implementing a table of contents. I have also done some C++ studying, learning more about class inheritance. I also read some code, related to my "secret project".

On a personal note, I've spent most part of the day studying for school final exams.

Got back from school, after French final. Did some work on one of my secret project. Also worked a bit on small Perl scripts, which I am writing to learn how CGI works. Also, hacked up a quick vimrc. Feel free to download it at http://strlen.net/files/dot.vimrc. My .bashrc and .muttrc could also be found at http://strlen.net/files/.

Just wrote a simple guide on getting a laptop such as mine (Compaq 1274) to work in Linux -- available at http://strlen.net/compaq1274.html

New Advogato Features

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.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
