Eugenia's Article

I find it amusing how Eugenia selectively quotes mailing list posts to create an article about how Gnome doesn't care about what users want, and then in a follow-up asks that people don't take her article out of context.

New Gettext

While looking at the new version of gettext, I noticed the libgettextpo library. Starting with the new 0.14.2 release, this library now includes a .po file writer as well as a parser. I wonder if this could be useful for tools like intltool.

One of the other things I noticed in the new release was at the end of the NEWS file entry for the release:

* Security fixes.

It gives no indication of what those fixes are though, so I don't know how serious the problem is ...

Tim Tams

There are three new varieties of Tim Tams biscuits that came out recently. The weirdest of the three is chocolate and chilli. It tastes like a normal dark chocolate Tim Tam, but after you've finished it leaves a chilli aftertaste.
