The latest version of Woclema finally produces XML that validates against Atom DTD. The bad news is that the old feed will now have an invalid ID (in theory and practice). If you’re reading this post with a feed reader, you probably already wondered why you’re seeing all the old posts too. That’s why. Anyway, if I get to choose between “broken now” and “broken forever” it’s fairly easy decision. Especially because I think Woclema has somewhat limited target audience.

bug reports. You can look for bug reports and their status by giving querybts
either the name of a package or a bug number. Bug database can also be viewed
with an ordinary web browser but personally I prefer command line and querybts.
Back to University. We’re now done with four weeks of training at Lapinjärvi and have eleven months of work to do. I was lucky to get to work at department of computer science at University of Helsinki. When I walked out the building having returned my badge and my key I was fairly sure I wouldn’t be coming back. At this point I’m glad I was wrong.

I packed my stuff (minus hair brush) last night and woke up at 5:30. I brushed my hair, packed the remaining bits and took a taxi to Kamppi, from where the bus would leave at 6:35. I arrived at Kamppi just a few minutes before six o’clock and found maybe ten others already there. This time I would catch the first bus no matter what.

Our rooms were checked at eight o’clock and we had the first and the last lecture of the day from nine to eleven o’clock. Carter bus and the first normal bus both left quarter past eleven. Carter bus was for those who had to catch up with connections. Thanks to our rather large numbers, not everyone could get on the first two busses. To my big surprise I found myself standing at Lapinjärvi training centre with some ten lucky fellows.
