Wrote some code to convert arbitrary elliptic arcs to bezier curves for the gnome-print driver in dia. This should stop people sending bug reports in about that problem. The output looks very nice, so no one should notice that it isn't real elliptic arcs. I was talking with Chema about adding support for arcs in gnome-print itself, possibly using my code as a fallback for drivers that don't support them.
I went to see The Dish at the cinema last night. It is a very good movie, and I recommend watching it. Apparently the release date is next week, so this was an advanced screening. They also had advanced screenings in Perth for Chopper back when it was released. People have started putting in their nominations for the gnome-foundation board elections. We have enough candidates for an election to be necessary. None of the Sun guys have nominated yet. Maybe they will now that the OpenOffice source code has been released.
I handed in my dissertation today. The due date was Monday, but I got a one day extension, which was really helpful as it meant I could polish it a bit more. I feel much less stressed now that is out of the way. Maybe back to a bit more hacking now :-)
As I have been pretty much house bound for the past two weeks, working on my dissertation, I ordered a few cd's from 78s (one of the best music stores in Perth) over the internet. Very good service, and the much faster than other places I tried. Got a copy of the new Turnstyle record Geek Party. It is a good compilation. Looks like they sold Fatso for AU$80,450. Eric Moussambani's goggles sold for a fair amount as well. There is a nice quote from him on the auction page at ebay.
