  • Got interviewed for redhat.com
  • I was initiated into the need to carry around more paper
  • had a few days of fun with Bryce and other US folks. Looking in the US for magazines on how to do interior US home design, although all I found was imported magazines showing how to make your US home look English. Grass, greener, etc.
  • Went through far too many security points at airports and found that it's really important to make sure your laptop is charged when they want to inspect it
  • spent some time with the Mitre CVE people



History is fun, I just finished off screenshots and the history of ModPlay. Yes, I really did share a house with Bryce in 1991!



My last week here so decided to go up to the mountains with Bryce who for some reason decided to take his laptop. After my recent fun with cars and Durham Police I let Phil do all the driving, which I don't think he appreciated.

I found a new xsl parser, libxslt and libxml, part of the gnome project, seems to be quicker than Xalan and has the advantage of being in C and not C++ (I'm so used to release engineering for 30 platforms where even a working C compiler is sometimes a stretch). Spent a good 6 hours on Saturday failing to get it working right with Perl the way I want it to, seems to be a strange memory problem that goes away everytime I turn on debugging.

I was going to buy a Earthmate GPS receiver for my laptop until I read that it doesn't output standard NMEA format data so it won't work with Autoroute. I'm still looking for a GPS solution so the next time I'm coming back from Scotland and get stuck for 4 hours on the M6 without a map I can find an alternative route.
