it was warm so slept with the windows open. this provided a large amount of noise in the morning, as a house across the street is having an overhaul or something. ended up sleeping close to 12 hours which was nice since in only got 2 or 3 last night in ottawa.
continued having lots of weird dreams; woke up after 3 or 4 of them due to the noise noted above. one had someone trying to break into our office, and i was trying to call 911 and then they started accusing me of something. i guess you had to be there.
it feels like winter went straight into summer here in boston, totally skipping over spring. either that or spring happened while i was working in the office, or something. anyway it was in the 80's today which was nice.
i've started biking to work again, and i find myself very much out of shape. i don't know if my completely anaerobic ride will help much, but at any rate it should give me an extra 40+ minutes per day, as it takes much less time to ride there than to walk.
did some hacking on abiword on hp-ux. fixed some multi-depth visual bugs (surprise) and abi almost works. well, the splash screen no longer crashes it and text actually shows up, but the scroll/status bars still don't look right. i will be sending the abi guys a patch as soon as i can get my evolution composing mails.
there are still some fun problems with fonts. hp-ux's x server doesn't seem to natively support type1 fonts, so i have to do some things to get the font server seeing the abi fonts. after i had that finally working, i've found that the fonts still aren't matching to what abi thinks they should. hopefully i'll get this taken care of tomorrow, as it would be nice to move on to another package.
the hp-ux port is coming along nicely. libtool is behaving more nicely, which makes imlib/gdk-pixbuf modules working. also, librep and sawfish are working nicely these days too. whee. there's still a lot of stuff, as quite a few applets are not multi-depth visual friendly, and there are still surprisingly many hard coded use of .so (hp-ux shared libraries have the .sl extension). i should probably write a nice summary of the fixes i am having and post them, so i have to do less work in the future.
hp-ux's c++ compiler rules. really. i'm serious.
i also got an aphrodite cd (the one alex nicely lent me whilst i was in canadia) and did a small bit of hacking at algiers.
