Another Birthday
25 years old!
I think it will be a nice night in with the family and and some good food.
My brothers asked what I wanted, and I couldn’t resist 
Gnome Blog 0.8
Saw Seth’s announcement for gnome-blog 0.8 and thought I would try it, so this post is my first post with it. Very simple to use, needs a little more in the formatting department perhaps, but great none the less.
Tried out www.blogger.com too, it seems very comprehensive.
Half Life 2 with Cedega
A friend of mine recently bought Half Life 2 and I have been meaning to try it out but have been busy with Gossip. Now that I have set up my new GeForce 6600 GT, I thought I would try and get it running under Cedega. Transgaming’s site boasts it working fully out of the box and I got it going on my Fedora Core 3 distribution with no problems – oh and the game is superb too 
Also – as I didn’t have the DVD to install it, I used Steam’s installer to download it all which works well.

New Graphics Card
After putting up with my old GeForce Ti4800 for some time now and given the advent of games like Half Life and Doom 3, I have bought myself a new Galaxy GeForce 6600 GT from Overclockers UK. The most important thing for me is the noise reduction. My current card can be heard from the next room with the doors open and is the only noisy fan in my Shuttle.
Notice Of Marriage
Tuesday my good lady and I visited the local civil registrar to declare our notice of marriage. So now we are all geared up for our big day (which should be) Saturday August 27th. Thankfully, the registrar confirmed for me that everything I have to say will be repeated after her 
Interestingly, when you declare your intent to marry it is put up on a notice board for 15 days – this is for people to object if they have reason to.
Gossip Transports & GnomeMeeting
Gossip’s HEAD branch now has the worst of Micke’s and my code since we merged both our branches in on the weekend
The transports seem to be shaping up nicely though, hopefully now that it is on HEAD it will get tested more and we can determin problems early ready for 0.9.
Julien PUYDT has also spent a lot of time working on patches to get GnomeMeeting operational via Gossip. Bad timing with the recent merge and everything, but it should get into Gossip sooner or later.
