Beijing is fun!
Spot was right, China does rock. Arrived in the morning, had a large Western breakfast, went to the office to suck mail, hung out till lunch. Szechuan lunch, then off to The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and Commercial Road. Good guide in Lisa I’ve had, landed in the office for a while before heading off for some “hot pot” dinner, and the bosses party thing at a bar. Late night, didn’t get any mail reading/work done even when I got home. Today, had some Shinjang food, with meat skewers, naan bread and the like. Got to sort out the phone so I can start making phone calls cheaply again.
Been building and playing with Gaphor and diacanvas, its quite nice - on FC3, you want to make sure that diacanvas installs its stuff to /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/diacanvas, rather than into /usr/local/lib. One interesting feature (well, Emacs has this too, save for the nice UML diagram stuff) is that you can “reverse engineer” Python files by importing it and getting a UML diagram for it. Sweet, no?
Seems Excel has a known problem of not being able to have more than 7 Nested IFs, and the only workaround is to use named ranges. Sure, thats one way - the other way is to go ahead and use OpenOffice.org Calc. But this doesn’t allow spreadsheet exchange between OOo/Excel, because Excel users will suffer. Caveat emptor.

Could you please tell me you have gaphor installed on fc3? I’ve installed diacanvas and the libraries are in the location you specified. When i try to install gaphor i get the message that diacanvas could not be found. What can be wrong?
(when i try to import diacanvas in de python interpreter, i get the message that there is no module named diacanvas)

I installed diacanvas2-0.14.2 with no problem but gaphor-0.7.0 gives me the following error when I do python setup.py install
!!! Required module ‘diacanvas’ not found.
Config failed.
The following modules can not be found or are to old:
