Recovering from a very late night. Rudely awoken by delivery of Helix Code shirts and suchlike, arriving on the very day that Helix becomes Ximian. Much happier today, despite tiredness. CVS Evolution is building quietly in the background, and its surely time to sleep?
Not a productive week so far. In fact feeling a bit down and pointless early today at least. Managed to cure my own dental pain once again yesterday and accidentally read all of "Accidental Empires" by Robert X Cringely - its a set book for T171 but still managed to be pretty interesting. Makes me wonder why I'm not just a tiny bit more prosperous, but I suppose those damn principles may have a little to do with it. The I.P.Knightley's struggle slightly despite being at full strength.
A strange weekend, but a reasonably happy and relaxing one. Latest CVS Evolution builds fine, and I have my addressbook back which is a relief. Not much done on Gmailq or Gtkdial lately, but prepared mentally by having a long sleep in followed by a big house-cleaning spree.
More obsessive work on Gmailq. Improved the preferences dialog with GnomeIconEntry, and made it catch some configuration errors. Otherwise trying to catch up on CVS evolution, but problems with anoncvs.gnome.org seem to be hampering efforts. Doubts are beginning to creep into the otherwise optimistic beginning of the year - hey, four and a half days is not bad going for me! Rude awakening time - tried to contact someone without an e-mail address today and found the number had gone out of use. Have I truly geeked out at last?
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.
