Walking on the Moon

Reviews of The Rise of American Democracy, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, and Brainiac are up on BBC. How’s that for a selection.

Yep, I spent part of my Thanksgiving tending to a few grap bugs that have come in over the past couple months.  The result is the 1.40 release available from the usual place.  Consult the CHANGES file for the details of the bugs fixed.  FreeBSD port to come.

Reviews of Frankenstein and The Skeptical Environmentalist are up on BBC. I had a plane trip, so I got some reading done.

My review of The Subtle Knife is up on BBC.

I’ve posted a review of Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass on BBC.

If you think that the blog format looks a little different, you’re right. I upgraded to wordpress 2.0.4 which included a slightly modified default theme.

It’s a long flight from San Francisco to Montreal, so I passed the time with an old friend. My review of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is up in BBC.

New reviews are up in BBC.

I’ve posted my review of One Hundred Years of Solitude on BBC.

There’s a new grap release. It really is a very little thing. Unless you’re compiling grap under g++ 4.1 or later, you don’t care about it. But the nice guys at Debian are moving to that in the near future and the sooner I fix my dumb typo in grap_draw.h, the better. I’m not going to change the FreeBSD port for this.

Update: I changed the CHANGES file to properly attribute the changes from 1.38 to 1.39 on 23 Mar 2006.  The checksum of the dist file changed, but no code did.
