Good news in PyQt
Phil´s support is great. That´s good enough news, but he helped me make images-and-http-in-qtextbrowser work again.
I think I will package that widget neatly, because it´s of general usefulness.

It seems I can't just stop working, so I will now be teaching three courses (24 hours/week) plus the consulting, plus whatever.
I wonder why I do that.
Since I uploaded Notty to Sourceforge (get it from CVS), I thought it would be nice to show what it looks like nowadays.
So here's a screenshot. If that link doesn't work, try this one.
It is mostly a working app, although still pretty basic. You can use it, you can create notes, you can even export them to HTML (working fairly well, except for links to other notes, which don't get fixed).
I am even using it to document itself (see docs/help.notty in the sources, it's a notty file)
Specially nice is Silvercity's code-block directive, which you can see used in the screenshot (look at the yellow fragment).
I'd say it is right now a pretty decent documentation writing tool, although the editor component is too featureless.
Nice read. Haven't seen the ads, though.
Is there a name for that? It's like picking oneself by one's bootstraps.
But anyway, I have been writing a bunch of little PyQt projects in the last year or so, and they all seem to share something with each other.
Writing KrSN, I worked on making a pseudo/browser using QTextBroser... which is the note-displaying element in Notty... which now is getting a reStructuredText editor... which will be used in Bartleblog... for which I learned how to use XMLRPC.. which I will use to write a Notty server... and so on.
Of course, since I am doing all this as a hobby, a reasonable release of all these apps is still months in the future (KRsN is usable, although incomplete, Notty will probably be out in a decent shape first), but I am only coding for fun, any use anyone gets of it is strictly a happy side-effect, so... it's amusing in its own terms.
