I've come to the conclusion that I need to get some sort of job and fast, because I'm just short of things to do due to the week being 37 hours longer than usual. Using the i18n patch which Kjartan mailed, I've finally got Gtkdial working with translations, and updating correctly via xml-i18n-tools. Not 100% sure how I did it, but I can now break things and find out how to fix them. Still finding the word 'interrompi' strangely compelling. The washing machine here appears to be dead. Anoncvs seems to have delivered my a backwards update to gal 0.5.99.0, but Evolution wants 0.5.99.2.
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.
