I came across this site the other day when I was looking for information about radioactive fiestaware.

WordPress & this weblog
I’ve finally upgraded to wp 1.5, plus the image authentication thing in the comments works again. 🙂
I’ve also decided that the theme must be changed, so it may change in the next few days. (default for the moment though).

SQLEditor 1.1 nearing release
SQLEditor 1.1 is now approaching release. It seems to have taken much longer than expected, however it does have a number of interesting improvements.
The most interesting improvement is that it can export directly to a database. This is still slightly experimental but pretty much works.
There is also a new structure for connector lines, the layout algorithms for each type of line have been moved into separate classes, so new types could be added in the future.
There is a new toolbar which allows for faster object creation.
There are also lots and lots of bug fixes (including one in the SAX XML parsing code which was causing occasional but serious problems in load and save).
I’ve also been working on the documentation, using docbook to make everything nice and multi-purpose.
I’m really hoping that version 1.1 can be out by the middle of next week.

Debian Sarge
I realized that I’d managed to update to Sarge (v 3.1) mostly without noticing. I should have pinned my packages to woody (3.0) but didn’t realize, which meant that I went through the update process without actually noticing. This led to a number of odd problems. In particular I hadn’t disabled a number of backports, which led to difficulties with apache, php, mysql and postgresql. This happened because the ports were set up to target woody (3.0) rather than Sarge (3.1).
However I have now properly upgraded to Sarge on marilac. Hopefully this will be a suitably satisfactory release and will provide many hours of happy uptime. 🙂

The Lucky Despot Hotel and Casino was the name of an establishment in a story that I was reading recently. 🙂

Forum for malcolmhardie.com
Following the suggestions in this article, I’ve been considering forum software recently to offer customers (and others) somewhere to discuss SQLEditor.
Currently I’m considering PunBB, because it seems to be simple, fast and well received by reviewers and users.
PhpBB seems a popular choice but is probably a bit more than I actually need for this project.

The length of my hair and the length of the grass
Since I live in a small house as opposed to a flat I have a small amount of garden. Most of this is grass.
I haven’t gone bald, so I also have some hair on my head.
As I was looking at the grass the other day, un-mown for too long, I came to an odd realization. The length of the grass is proportional to the length of my hair. When my hair is long, the grass is long, when my hair is short then the grass is short.
This is a curious realization.
But it does have a logical explanation.
I think that when I’m less busy then both grass and hair get cut at the proper intervals. When I become more busy the intervals get longer.
And so there is a link.
Which is kind of weird.

Not managing time very well
Recently I haven’t been managing time very well, with the company business and the new release of SQLEditor things seem to have been building up and not getting done fast enough. The grass and my hair are growing too long as well 🙁
I’m hoping to improve things, but if I’ve been running behind on things like email and communication in the last month or so, I ‘m sorry.
I hope to resolve the back log shortly.
