  Work has been pretty busy.  I've been doing release manager stuff, 
  working on Gutsy packaging issues, puzzling over an intermittent problem 
  between the <code>sun-java6-plugin</code> and Miro, working on a Firefox 
  extension, and working on a patch for Firefox 3.0.
</p>
<p>
  I went to some of the after-hours activities for the 
  <a href="http://live.gnome.org/Boston2007">GNOME Summit Boston</a>.
  I'm going to <a href="http://podcamp.pbwiki.com/PodCampBoston2">PodCamp 
  Boston</a> this weekend.
</p>
<p>
  I was writing my todo list management application in 
  <a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/">Django</a>, but then
  decided to switch it to 
  <a href="http://pylonshq.com/">Pylons</a>.  Now I'm thinking I may just go 
  a much easier route and implement it in 
  <a href="http://webpy.org/">web.py</a>.  A year ago, I wrote a wiki system 
  that was code-friendly using web.py in three hours which included the 
  amount of time it took to learn how web.py worked.

<p>
  <a href="http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/">PyBlosxom</a> work for version 
  2.0 has slowed considerably.  I just haven't had much time to spend on 
  it.  A bunch of us are hanging out in <code>#pyblosxom</code> on 
  <code>irc.freenode.net</code> and we're talking about things more often.  
  I met <a href="http://www.asheesh.org/">paulproteus</a> in real life during the GNOME Summit Boston.  I'm 
  trying to figure out how to create multi-page output using 
  <a href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/">docutils</a>.  There was some 
  development in that arena over the summer, some of it due to a 
  <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2007/psf/appinfo.html?csaid=8D04C53750906F50">GSoC project</a>.  I need to spend some more time 
  to figure out what's available now in SVN, how to use it, and whether 
  it'll fix my problem.

  I've upgraded all my machines to Gutsy.  It's nice--the fonts seem to
  be much easier to read on both my laptop and my desktop with an LCD.
</p>
<p>
  That about covers it.  It's been a low-Python high-JavaScript month.
