kerberos: I was helping Chris Aillon work on a Kerberos renewel dialog for GNOME this week. It’s checked into CVS as krb5-auth-dialog, though I imagine we’d make it part of some other package in the future. The dialog has taken surprisingly long to do, in large part because kerberos isn’t translated at all. I would really loathe to ship a dialog that pops up every ten hours with an untranslated string.
Unfortunately, to do this properly, we will need to get kerberos upstream to use gettext, and modify a lot of kerberos code. I don’t know if the upstream maintainers are interested in such a patch, but we’ll try to convince them of its necessity.

travels: Rosanna and I went back to Pasadena for a wedding over the weekend. My friends Sarah and Cameron got married after dating for twelve years, and we are all very happy for them. It was a casual affair; set in a garden with a Hawaiian theme. Everyone was handed an orchid lei upon arrival, and there was a sushi bar. It was good fun meeting a lot of old school friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen in fifteen years.
On the flight back, we did the NY Times cryptic. It was refreshing to do a crossword with more American cultural references, as opposed to the British ones I’m used to. The clues were definitely easier, though, so I think we’ll stick to the London Times for now.

English: It’s really useful to be married to a grammarian.
