Still sick. Sicker than before, actually. Not fun. The amazing thing is that this time it isn’t messing up my brain, so I can still study Thai and do other mental activity without feeling incredibly yucky. It’s rather nice (compared to what it could have been). Still, I can’t wait till I’m better again. Especially because this week will be busy. I’m going to see Star Wars on Thursday at 1:00 a.m. (Why do I have a feeling I’ll fall asleep halfway through?)

Proofread (the name of the Distributed Proofreaders client I’m working on) is further along than I thought. That’s good. I want to add a manual zoom slider.

And Gtk+, of course. (That’s what it uses.) I’m also thinking I’ll add a history feature, stored in XML, so that the user can see which pages of which books he or she has worked on. I found a bunch of tutorials on threads and will start reading through them when I get to that point. The first order of business, though, is to read through the existing code and make sure I understand it thoroughly. I wonder if I should put the project on Sourceforge…
