GAL is getting even more popular
November 27, 2003
A few days ago I got an email from the people over at linuxlinks.com which said that they have added one of my projects to their link archive. The project in question is GAL and can be found listed in their Software:Programming:Libraries:Scientific section.
Note to self: review GAL and find out what about it I did right (is it even usable in its current form?). It recieves a lot more attention than GGTL despite all my efforts to promote the latter.
Memory leaks
November 22, 2003
I had planned to have a release of GGTL 1.1 out the door by now, but I am plagued by a mysterious (and dreadful) memory leak. The good news is that during the hunt for this I discovered two bugs in my `sl’ linked list library that my testsuite did not catch. One of them were quite easy to fix, but the other one required a bit more thinking. I found the solution to that one in the bath this morning. I often find that taking a warm bath does wonders for solving difficult problems.
On my todo-list after I find that bug is offering finer granularity for iterative deepening search. Currently the minimum search time is 1 second, which simply is a bit too much.
GGTL frenzy
November 6, 2003
Today I woke up a bit early and instead of moaning and trying to get back to sleep I got up and started hacking on GGTL 1.1. I have recently had some ideas about great improvements to it. These changes will allow user-manageable positions/moves.
Diary update squared
November 2, 2003
Finally got around to fix some long-standing bugs with my script to update the diary. Now I can finally add entries that include both single and double quotes without trickery :). I now also get to preview my entry before it is added, and I have the ability to update existing entries.
On an entirely different note, today I got another email about GGTL. I took it as a hint to take some time to brush up on its documentation. Now doxygen generates even more detailed docs (which can be found on the project-page for GGTL).
