- Up early, looked after babes while J. slept. You know something is being learned when N. wakes up her mother with Hello Dorgeous. To the mail mountain, hundreds of unread personal messages, urk; hard to resign oneself to a ~week of non-hacking.
- Nice to see the new OO.o build-bot having an IRC presence. By googling [ couldn't see a link on the OOoCon official page (go Marketing !) ] managed to find the conference videos.
- My hot picks (snarfed from the nice Kiberpipa site).

- Watched Michael Bemmer's talk: very interesting, it's great to hear StarDivision emphasising reducing Barriers to entry the priority of building community etc. Pleased with Sun's current direction. Couldn't find Noel's VBA talk, or Fridrich's - both rather good. For those with hyper-low bandwidth, you can get slides.
- Tried to fix the HTML to not make the planet barf. Got mired in some mess as to where pubDates should go & so on; utterly evil. Desparately quested for a decent DTD link for RSS and got no-where, my (apparently) valid RSS is unworkable, found this urk; and (apparently) no DTD too; so xmllint --valid can no longer save me; grief. Talked to jdub: Atom is (apparently) the sane format here, and I need to use pyblosxom's static publishing.
- Cached thumbnails on gnome.org & switched 1/2 the video links to another server; thanks Laurent. Knocked up column for LXF on the cusp of missing the deadline, generated more copy for Mehran, urk.
- Bought some books on S/W management, lots to learn no doubt.
