The iBook has been brought from the dead thanks to some kind souls, Amedeo and Viorel. And of course there's a stack of work left from the two months hiatus I was forced to take.
Sorry for not responding to the comments and to the emails. I'll get back to the people who wrote me in a couple of days.
Here's some updates:
- I have finally decided on a thesis subject. Details will be left for the moment, but it will be a web based application built with Drupal (of course), Python, Ruby and Solr / Lucene. Web 2.0 and all the buzzword yadda yadda.
- I'm learning Ruby because of 1.
- I'm investigating Solr, Twisted and EventMachine.
- I've built a Solr php class which works with php 4 as well (the one on the Solr page is php 5 only). I might release it if the people from work allow me.
- I've resumed work on the Simpy extension. Some first steps were taken into developing a osx dashboard widget. Right now there's latest items and a semi functional search.
- Lazy registration for Drupal 5 is almost done.
- I've ported memcached integration module to Drupal 4.7. I'll release it this week unless the other guy who also did this beats me to it. :)

Woho!
I'm looking forward to your use of Solr/Lucene, and of course to all your good Simpy work!
Btw., the 0.2 version of the extension is available from http://www.simpy.com/tools/firefox-extension . However, the install script doesn't work because it's from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2465 , so sha1 and/or file size doesn't match 0.2 version that I got from your blog. This, one can't actually install this extension from http://www.simpy.com/tools/firefox-extension . I just realized that after several people reported the problem. So now I'm really looking forward to your new version of that extension! :)
Great to hear that Amedeo and Viorel were able to sort out the Video Ram problem on your G4, you're not the first to have a green pixel problem.
I love iBooks but there have been too many folks reporting problems with faulty logic boards. Have you ever considered a Macbook? Macbooks could be considered iBook upgrades and Macbook Pros Powerbook upgrades. I believe you have a 12 inch screen on your iBook, Macbooks have 15 inchers. A Macbook's Core 2 Duo processor will definitely be useful for a programmer like you who likes to multitask.
Hi, thanks for elaborating on the green pixel issue. It was driving me nuts, could not get a definative answer from tech on this.
