The hackathon is drumming along nicely, with all kinds of crazy diffs being committed. However, all of us have been rather worried about the lack of Royal appreciation for the hard work put in by the OpenBSD development team. Luckily, word of the hackathon has spread far and wide, and the photos below reveal exclusively how the Queen now endorses* OpenBSD!
* "Endorsement" does not imply actual endorsement, but rather "passing within 100 metres of project".

The crowds gather excitedly |
Yes!! That pixel is the Queen!! |

I got tired of trying to combine the various blogging and gallery tools
into something that did what I wanted: take a simple directory of images,
blog entries, links, papers and output a nice HTML/RSS version of the
directory. So I hacked up a quick blog tool in OCaml that does the trick,
and put it live.
Its got quite a few rough edges at the moment, especially to do with
the lack of date archives and the large number of images on the front page
of the gallery.
Note that the location of the RSS links have changed as well, as I've
switched to using ocaml-rss for outputting
it instead of the homebrew format used before in blosxom.
One thing that has come out really well is the use of a flat tag namespace instead of the previous directory structure; it allows me to share stories and images among multiple categories without needing symlink hacks.

I got tired of using the older version of Subethaedit just for its OCaml syntax highlighting mode, so I ported the highlighter to the latest version of the editor. You can grab it from my projects page.
I think the only thing Subethaedit needs for perfection would be to be able to revert to a saved version more reliably; right now if I CVS commit a file, I need to close and re-open it in the editor or else the next save goes wrong. That, and a clean tabbed view for multiple document. And ... and ... I guess the list goes on, and it'll just be bloated like crazy!
