New toys at work

At work, we've been switching to using BitKeeper instead of CVS - I'm even more impressed than I was when just using it as a lazy way to download updates to the Linux kernel to play with at home.

It's odd to feel inclined to do real work just to have an excuse to play with the tool involved.... but then again, my current project is to replace all text strings in our main product (ADX) with calls to gettext.... which is an incredibly boring task.

If only I could figure out why xgettext has no facility to set the character set (encoding? Whatever UTF-8 should be called.).... I'd love a way to get rid of the crapload of warnings that ends up causing me.
