Palfrey's life

I've had a vaguely productive day off. Ok, I spent a lot of it sleeping, but OTOH I've managed to get rid of all my sleep debt for once, which is a good thing. Even I probably won't rebuild that much before the weekend. The awake hours I've spent working on OpiumLeaf, which is now in a pretty good state. It happly reads in OPML, RSS, etc, shoves them into a tree, displays said tree + list of entries for currently selected branch/leaf, displays entries, everything good. I've even found the unicode bugs (blasted M$ smartquotes....), and I *had* image display working, but it's now broken again while I attempt caching. Most of the complicated things with caching work fine, but I think between wx.MemoryFSHandler and wx.html.HtmlWindow there's a bit of disagreement, which I'm still working on....

Other today things:

• Dandy and Company has come up wth the ultimate sci-fi bad-guy weapon - a retcon cannon.


• I had a bit of an argument regarding the use of biscuit/cookie (NB: don't comment there, I'd like that argument to stay dead now).


• Got sent an album by some new band/singer called "Lazenby" off of my good mate Ken, who's just had some member of a band she was supporting sleeping in his front room. It's kinda jazz/soul. Pretty good stuff.
