Managed to solve weird and persistent lpd problems by recompiling from source. Finally got Gnoetry and updated one or two other things which had slipped by. Went to purchase the wood and other bits and bobs for Project Chessboard - which may even see fruition before GUADEC. Brief wanderings cheer me somewhat, but there is strangeness about, or I'm paranoid (both probably!). Nice, unexpected gtkdial feedback, and a Turkish translation from Kabalak.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
