Just got back from seeing the new Harry Potter movie. I must confess that I have not read the books at all. I quite enjoyed the movie, and definitely believe it to be better than the previous two. It was rather rushed and my friends filled me in on a few subtleties that I missed—the world of Harry Potter is far more complicated/interesting than I initially thought!

Right before Harry Potter I finished revamping the configure.in script (renamed configure.ac!) for Gabber, imbuing it with the life of intltool and the latest and greatest autoconf macros and whatnot. This means that Gabber 2 now correctly supports translations. I’m currently working on replacing Jabberoo’s “bootstrap” with a more generalized and correct autogen.sh and giving it a nice configure.ac as well.

And then comes the matter of the bugs to fix before the next Gabber 2 release. Temas’s disco (Jabber Service Discovery) implementation in Jabberoo does not seem to be properly caching entries which include resources, which breaks my newfangled Jabber Gateway registration in Gabber. I gave his code a few look-overs way back when I discovered this issue, but I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong from an initial glance. Once I finish escaping from Autoconf I’ll give it a more in-depth look at see what I can find. After that’s fixed it should just be a matter of removing some of the code I put in Gabber to track down said bug and then releasing. I promise I won’t try to fix more, I’ll just get it released and then fix the other things I was looking at!

I think my whole “no caffeine” thing has made me particularly susceptible to the drug—after the tea at lunch and the huge soda at the movie I’m starting to shake now from being tired + caffeinated. Ugh.
