Been talking with Andrei about getting gtk bindings for php working. He will probably be using some of the ideas from my python bindings.

Got the first few chapters for a book I will be tech reviewing. They are doing everything with MS office tools, which is a bit of a pain. Abiword is nowhere complete enough to do the job, as it doesn't do the revision control stuff needed. Gnumeric is probably good enough for the spread sheet work. This is the part I hate most about the MS monopoly -- they have a monopoly on how you can access the information. Dealing with Havoc's book was a lot easier, as he convinced them to let him use a text format (XML). I guess I better put a copy of msword on the old 486 then.
