Yeah, yeah, it’s been forever since I’ve posted…sorry this isn’t more regular, I’m a lazy bum :P.

It seems like it’s spring here already, the weather has been beautiful, highs between 10C and 13C (NOAA weather report). Of course, that also means it isn’t raining, which is a bad thing. (It appears that California is getting all our rain…). Our spring-fed pond is way below normal for this year and the water level is actually going down. As our part of the country is very dependent on Hydropower for electricity, that’s a baad thing (even if we, the Morton’s, are on solar power…). Also, is the river going to be a dry riverbed when we need to irrigate? Let’s hope so :(. In Slashdot speak: “I, for one, welcome our new Climate Change Overlords”. /me sighs

Anyways, Autopackage 1.0 is coming out soon so I’ve been building packages and stress-testing it… I’ve recently been experimenting with creating an Autopackage of Mozilla Firefox. It’s almost working properly (having to hack the Autopackage source a little :(), and I’ll provide a link when it’s done. In the mean time, if anybody would like to try and Autopackage, I suggest Lincity (a fun little addicitve game), or Inkscape. I beleive that Inkscape is still a 0.7 Autopackage, not beta2, so they aren’t compatible :(. You can find a list of Autopackages in the PDB (Package Database). Have fun, and let me know how it works for you!
