Some more work on the wiki paper, did the first diagrams using the best drawing program there is, a program with perfect FeatureKarma: xfig! I love it! I’m thinking of writing a small extension that will allow you to upload xfig files and automatically produce the PNG output somewhere. It would also have a slightly different Link Pattern. Then again, maybe not. I think it would involve installing a Java plugin for Firefox (for jfig), or doing some evil Javascript magic on the wiki pages, and I don’t like that anyway. Therefore I think I’ll stick to the stuff.

A user on ​#wiki found that the Oddmuse:Rollback_Action didn’t work, and I spent an hour or two writing test cases and fixing bugs. Eek! Two hours to change ten lines of code a few times. Well, on the other hand, I like to think of Oddmuse as a polished diamond. The reason I like it (compared to my day-job projects, for example) is that I can keep polishing it until I am happy. And today I did some polishing. ;)
