NNnN Party
It would appear that the party last night officially went off. For me the highlights included: Grahame not recognising his sister; Mesh going "I could remove my underpants..." randomly in a conversation, following up minutes later; successfully deflecting a 1d4 vt220 keyboard; repeatedly calling Alex a nancy-boy; and halogen lighting. In fact, I feel that halogen lighting is the new god in our house. We are thinking of purchasing one for use in the garden when barbequing.
As an interesting side-effect of the party, the house is remarkably tidy.

Evolution
Built a new set of packages for HEAD. I should wrap the whole thing in an autobuilder that I can just have a debian mirror with nightly CVS builds. Non-the-less there seem to be getting fewer and fewer bugs with Evolution. It's beginning to become quite good looking. I think there are two remaining bugs that annoy me: the tree structure on the left doesn't remember it's status; and there appears to be a glitch with signing (or perhaps decoding signatures from) email that contains attachments.

gvim
Actually looks surprisingly good these days. I hadn't used gvim in three or four years. Grahame mentioned it so I choose to have a look. I suggested to grahame that perhaps he should put tabbed browsing into gvim (one tab for each buffer), similar to what xEmacs offers.

randomness
It would seem the new members of UCC are elusively hard to meet. Only one or two of them seem to currently be willing to have a decent chat. Even at the fresher's welcome, I didn't really meet as many freshers as I would have liked. The UniSFA freshers seem much more talkative.
Hopefully we'll end up with some cool freshers though, who do more then just play games. Perhaps we can convince one or two of them to blog their cool project ideas in english. Post-"UCC Fresher Welcome" beer was enjoyable, UCC pervades all aspects of everyone's life.

Planet UCC now has proper cacheability. Unlike Ian McKellar's blog it would seem.
Next, FOAF, OPML, Atom (perhaps), some config file changes, and the stuff James wrote.
