New Computer
Well GSoC is officially finished but there is still work to do. The connection for the whiteboard still needs to be closed, and there are many GUI-related problems. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be able to commit for a while because I just bought a new computer (asus G51VX-A1) and I need to install [...]

Ah.. Embarrassing
After finishing my sociology exam, I finally had some time to install a blog for my Google Summer of Code project (it’s required!). Since I was doing a python project, it made sense for me to install a python blog. Fine, then.
