I’ve been getting a sudden increase in hits on the PyMM sourceforge page recently and I don’t see how that’s really possible.
If by some chance anyone is going there from here, please, leave a comment here so that I can solve this mystery 
I feel that it’s my duty to warn you (if you are indeed going there from here) that I haven’t worked on PyMM for awhile (four months) and it was badly designed/implemented to begin with.
It was my first real C++ project and it follows a C mentality rather than C++ (using char* instead of std::string).
I still plan on resurrecting it when I have time, but for now, it remains dormant.
If you’re still interested after that warning, then you can check out its project page here.
Note that the latest work (four months ago, but still the latest) is in the char_to_string svn branch (not in trunk),
so if you want to check out the latest source, you should check out the following URL:

Version 8.10 of Ubuntu Linux was released today.
If you’ve never heard of Ubuntu before, you should check out the ‘What is Ubuntu?’ page.
In short, it’s a free alternative to other operating systems (like Windows or OS X).
You can get an overview of the changes from version 8.04 here.
The most notable change for me is the upgrade of GNOME to version 2.24.1 and the additions of GTK+ 2.14.4 and GLib 2.18.2 that go with it.
Another exciting upgrade is that of the GNU C compiler (gcc) to version 4.3.2.
I upgraded a couple of days ago because the servers get overloaded on release day, but if you’re feeling brave you can try it today.
On a final note, I’ll remind you that Ubuntu comes in other flavors, and they should all be making their 8.10 releases soon if they haven’t already.
Kubuntu – Ubuntu with KDE instead of GNOME
Edubuntu – Ubuntu geared toward classroom use
Xubuntu – Ubuntu with XFCE instead of GNOME. It’s geared toward less powerful computers.
Ubuntu Studio – Ubuntu geared toward artistic activities
Version 2.19.0 of GLib has been released, you can find the announcement here.
This is an unstable release, so consider yourself warned.
There aren’t any binaries yet, but you can download the source code:
