Totally Awesome
20051126 Tonight was the much anticipated U2 concert. As expected from previous experience, it was a spiritual experience. The way the group interacts with the audience makes it so. Just seeing every one of the 18000 seats of the Corel Centre occupied is enough to set the atmosphere. Seeing a fantastic performance drives everyone wild. Except for the drummer, all of the members were completely mobile, with wireless instrument transmitters and mics. The things this allows for with an oval stage makes the performance unique. The lighting was even more revolutionary than during the Elevation Tour. Words cannot quite describe this experience.

After the concert I went to the Honest Lawyer to celebrate Ring Day with the current batch of recipients. It was good to see everyone again and catch up.

I'm still hacking on Celestia's GTK front-end. It's nearing completion. Last night I ripped out the old menu system and replaced it with more modern GtkActions. The job is only half-done, but after that is completed and a few more bugs are closed, things are cleaned up, it will be good for release. There is no doubt that it is cleaner and easier to maintain now.

At work I'm flying through things with remarkable success. The company is growing. For the moment, things are positive.
