Have not posted anything here for a while. I got back from my holiday last wednesday. It was three weeks in New Zealand and a few days in Melbourne. Other than getting my bags lost for two days on the way into NZ, it was a good trip. In Melbourne, I stopped by at my uncle's company Data Electronics. Some of their new products sound very interesting.

One problem with the trip was lack of access to email. I had heaps when I got back. I quickly learnt that the signs saying a shop had `Internet/Email' meant they had a web browser with its home page set to hotmail. Not very useful if you need an ssh client. Maybe I should look into one of those java ssh clients for such occasions.

Matt Wilson has been doing quite a bit of bug fixing on gnome-python, so we will be making a new release of that soon. A number of people have been doing some work on dia. Mainly Cyrille who has been doing some new object libraries and and a bit of work on other bits. There are also a number of custom shapes that people have done (mainly network related ones) that I need to integrate.
