Off to Jo’burg

*sigh*

Seems I’ve been called off to head office again at literally a day’s notice. I was heading up next weekend though for a LAN with the Avatars (the UT clan I’m in), so I guess it isn’t all bad. Only problem now is carting around my PC, a new LCD monitor which I’ll pick up while I’m there, 2 weeks worth of clothing, and my laptop. Going to have to courier the PC up and have someone courier it and the monitor back after the LAN :(.

Internet is also blocked during office hours in head office, so I’m basically stuffed as I can’t exactly go home and see to things in the evenings. Where I’m responsible for a bunch of projects, websites, etc online, this isn’t exactly helpful at all. Hopefully I can still SSH home every now and then… Can’t even use VNC since my PC’s going to be all over the country.

Should be back by Monday the 28th… They don’t even know where I’m going to be staying while I’m up there.

*sigh* I hate this :(.

Another project - Dozer

*sigh* Look at me starting a million projects and never finishing any of them :P.

Well this one, I fully intend finishing at least. It’s a wxPython GUI front-end for Dosage (http://slipgate.za.net/dosage/) which basically has the sole goal of making managing your comics easier for the mouse potatoes out there (and makes Dosage more accessable to the average Joe user who doesn’t want to mess around with command lines and stuff).

At present, it doesn’t do much, it simply builds a nice tree of comic modules (virtual modules are displayed as branches) and allows you to add those to a list (which basically makes up your ’subscriptions’), and lets you select one or more of those and have Dosage download the latest strip for them.
