r decided to welcome in the new year by taking her first steps on her own. Every day she gets more and more stable, I don’t think it’s going to be long until walking becomes her main mode of transportation. It’s an amazing thing to watch, but also a bit scary since we now have to keep a much closer eye on what she might be getting into around the house.
Memory Editing
After a lovely and relaxing Thanksgiving break without any coding whatsoever, I’m trying to atone by pushing forward with nemiver a bit more (don’t worry, I’ll be going back to working on wrapping cluttermm again soon, but I’m sort of waiting for the 0.6 API to settle down a little bit first). In any case, as of last night, my branch of nemiver can view and edit memory, thanks to the magic of reusable widgets. GHex needs some modifications in order for it to work properly, so I haven’t pushed these changes to svn yet, but hopefully they’ll go in soon.
Everything is Politics
One of the things you hear regularly when issues of a non-technical nature raise their heads are pleas to ignore the politics and focus on the technical issues. These are well-meaning but ultimately misguided. The point of murray’s post was that there are social issues that are having a detrimental effect on the project. You may disagree with the actual content of the post, but then the proper response is to disagree, not to implore people to ignore political or social issues altogether. If we insist on sticking our heads in the sand and ignoring social issues just because we “don’t like politics”, then we will get what we deserve as a project.
Update: It appears that in the time it took me to write this post, several others have expressed this sentiment more eloquently than I could have.
