Google's fax machine ran out of paper

Today I have tried to fax my GSoC related documents to Google. I dialed the correct number, the line was rang again and again, but no response. After tried many times, finally I given up. Then I saw some words posted by LH in GSoC-student mail list:

Fax machine might be out of paper. We'll check it tomorrow. (Yes, in about 15 hours.)

Cheers,
LH

It's noon for me when I trying to fax, but it should be midnight in Mountain View, I think. So I should wait for them to wake up. :(

Starting the work

Today I have started to work on my SWIG's Python 3.0 support project. Since some work already done when preparing the proposal, I'd like to write a summarization here.

The works have been done:

• Getting familiar with SWIG's code base.
• Getting familiar with GNU automake, which SWIG used as build system.
• Modified the typemap, .swg, and etc code, so my SWIG can generate "Hello, world" level Python 3 wrapper now.
• A detailed time table has been written.
• Added checking for Python 3 configuration in configure.in (done today)

And the problems encountered right now:

• How to get rid of unbound method removal in Python 3? A mail posted to python-3000 mail list, waiting for replay.
  
• How to write makefile script so when we type "make check-python3-test-suite", it can run 2to3 automatically to convert *_runme.py codes to Python 3, then do the test.
• And I think I need a svn branch now.

Ok, too late and I'm feeling sleepy. I'll off to bed now. Good dream.

Hello, World!

This is my first English blog post! What a exciting, I've started to write blog again.

Yeah, I've written some blog, some years ago, and in Chinese. The old blog haven't been continued when I entered university, because lack of Internet connection, and laziness may be another reason :p

One of the motivities to start this blog is for the Google Summer of Code 2008, thanks to generous Google, my project for SWIG has been accepted! It would be a great summer!

However, since written in English, I hope this blog can help to rescue my poor English. :P Also, this would be a place for my lovely girlfriend and me, to share our remember.

Cheers!
