Yesterday I finished Anne of Green Gables and read 100 pages of Anne of Avonlea. I like it a lot. I also read the parts in L.M. Montgomery’s journals that mentioned her writing of the first book (and the publishing and all that). Mmm.

I think I’m going to try formatting Project Gutenberg etexts in LaTeX. It shouldn’t be too hard to do a really nice job of it — proper fonts and all. Speaking of Project Gutenberg, the software site is coming along. It should go live within a few days. I haven’t done anything with The Ball and the Cross in a while, so I think I’ll work on that and the Icelandic primer today.

Oh, I finally upgraded to fluxbox 0.1.9. I just realized that I should have downloaded the bugfix patches first… (I’ll do it later today and recompile.)

This morning I spent a few minutes analyzing my web logs. Turns out there are far more hits on my Linuxtype page than I thought there would be. I need to start working on it and get it in better shape than it is.

I upgraded to mutt 1.4. And I finally added some keybindings to mutt to let me easily browse my POP3 servers. That’s much nicer than having to load up Mozilla Messenger (much faster, too). I’ve also upgraded to Mozilla 1.0 and Galeon 1.2.5.

I found the Xft-enabled RPMs for Mozilla 1.0. When installed, they give you antialiased fonts. Very nice. But when I installed them, I could only select from nine or ten fonts (all iso10646, which was odd). And it killed Galeon. So I’m compiling Mozilla from scratch against Gtk+ 2 right now. We’ll see how well that works…
