Went to see Loon X-Wing (of Beaverloop fame) playing at the uni at lunch time yesterday.

Have been setting up my system with the new hard drive. I almost have it to a working state and a delivery man gives me RH6.2. I guess I will see what improvements have been made.

Noticed that a new version of gtkglarea was released in february. This means that the gtkglarea wrapper in pygtk should work with a released version of gtkglarea (there were a few API changes a while back, but no released version containing them).

The first Python 1.6 is out. It contains unicode support, which should make integration with Pango/gtk+-1.4 very nice. The article about Python 3000 was interesting. I wonder how much the internals are going to change? Luckilly pygtk and gnome-python mainly consist of generated code, so changing the code generator will do the majority of the work chainging over.
