		<description><![CDATA[This is a pretty pedestrian way to break a month&#8217;s silence, but the [0.2 version of WP-Cats](http://uwmike.com/wordpress/wp-cats/) is out. I&#8217;ve rewritten the JavaScript so that I&#8217;m no longer completely ashamed of it; the closures are a lot cleaner now, and it makes extensive use of [jQuery](http://jquery.com/) for DOM manipulation and bits of animation.
There&#8217;s also a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No functionality changes, but I spent an hour on [the Clipper](http://www.clippervacations.com/ferry/) yesterday figuring out how to make WP-Cats [work with WP 2.2.2](http://uwmike.com/wordpress/wp-cats/).
Admittedly, WP-Cats is a more sophisticated plugin than some in the degree to which it interacts with core code, but my first experience contributing to a major open-source project has been a little mixed. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The [#1 Matt](http://photomatt.net) was in town on Wednesday night, so some folks organized a meetup at the Heartland Brewery. I only took a handful of pictures, none of which turned out very well, but fortunately John Keegan has shared some [nice snaps](http://www.flickr.com/photos/49037741@N00/sets/72157600071154401/).

It was neat to chat with Matt and find out more about [Automattic](http://automattic.com/) as a company and what some of their plans are for Wordpress. He's a really fun, personable guy. It's awesome to use a product with such a great spokesperson.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A handful of people emailed me about WP-Cats not working with the newest Wordpress. I've fixed the problem, and the newest version is now available as [WP-Cats 0.13a](http://uwmike.com/wordpress/wp-cats/). Over the past couple months, I've also received a number of feature requests for it, many of which I think would be useful and sensible, so expect to see a proper update at some point in the future.

Also, I now have a much better understanding of how to properly use closures and JS objects, so that truly heinous JavaScript will get cleaned up a bit, too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brandon pointed out to me the new website for the [Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Department](http://www.mme.uwaterloo.ca) has launched, featuring my logo in the document footer, similar to how [ECE](http://ece.uwaterloo.ca/)'s is.

My understanding is that there will be an official unveiling in the summer term, at which I'll be asked to give a brief explanation of process and inspiration. So you can all come out to that with your clappers and big foam fingers... or just know that the inspiration was doodling on a tablecloth at [Montana's](http://www.montanas.ca/), and the software used was the excellent [Inkscape](http://www.inkscape.org/).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's been a slow month for blogging, what with exams and all. But all is done now; I'm more convinced than ever that engineering school is less about academics, and more about proving yourself against outrageous expectations and under extreme stress.

That said, I don't think I'll ever forget how to set up a band pass filter or a summing amplifier.

Looking ahead, I treated myself to [a new camera](http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/sd600.html), and I plan to post lots of pictures from NYC. I thought I'd also publish my fledgling list of *stuff to do while there*.]]></description>
