http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes Blog of Johannes Schmid Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:06:12 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Remember the good old days when bug nummers started with 1xxxxx? Well, now we have one bug less in this area, GtkNotebook finally supports widgets in the tabs area: [caption id="attachment_214" align="aligncenter" width="585" caption="GtkNotebook with action widgets"][/caption] (Note that the buttons here are just examples and this was done mainly for testing ... http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/11/09/gtknotebook-action-widgets/ ...and brought the new Google Summer of Code Shirt: The main feature of the T-Shirt is being not black and actually really looking kind of non-geeky which makes it possible to wear it outside geek areas. http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/09/22/fedex-woke-me-up-today/ Glom now bascially starts up on maemo fremantle which means that gtkmm, libgda, libgdamm and pygda are working together now on the maemo platform. Of course lots of bug-fixing and UI work left to make this really cool. Screenshot: http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/09/05/glom-on-maemo-fremantle/ (Disclaimer: This is a political statement, so only read on if you can cope with it) It all came into my mind again when seeing all the reports about the phase out of light bulbs starting from 1st of september in European countries. Apparently this isn't a major issue for most ... http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/09/04/this-thing-called-european-union/ In case someone is wondering why I am not responding to mails or in general constributed only very few things in the last weeks I was mostly full-time working on our second year formula student car: This is the first year we are participating both in Silverstone (FSAE UK) and Hockenheim ... http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/07/20/formula-student-2009-in-silverstone/ Things started nice with a normal flight from Las Palmas to Madrid yesterday even though the organisation could have been better on the Gran Canaria Airport. After arriving in Madrid I was heading to the gate for the flight to Frankfurt. I eventually made it in time and boarded Iberia ... http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/07/08/ibe-3516-aka-why-i-spent-a-night-at-frankfurt-airport/ Based on the awesome work from Joel Holdsworth making it possible to add custom widgets to the dock item grips, I finally patched anjuta to use this ability. This can save quite a bunch of pixels: [caption id="attachment_183" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Anjuta with new buttons in grip feature"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_184" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Old ... http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/06/12/anjuta-ui-work/ I just created a tiny ppa which contains anjuta and gdl 2.26.2 as Ubuntu is a bit slow in updating those. If you are a jaunty user I really recommend an update to the latest stable version which contains some important bug-fixes: PPA for Johannes Schmid http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/06/10/ppa-for-current-anjuta-releases/ As Murray already mentioned we updated the Clutter Tutorial over the last weeks for the upcomming Clutter 0.9/1.0 release. Clutter 0.9 makes some hacks obsolete that were necessary to archieve some functionality in the past so we could concentrate more on straight-forward ways this time. The tutorial features some new sections: The ... http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/05/06/clutter-tutorial-update/ So, from the little hacker in me I am a bit annoyed about forking strategies some projects have. I have been (co-)maintaing gdl for about 4 years know, brought it into GNOME, fixed lots of deprecated stuff and got rid of all the non-docking stuff in the library and lots ... http://blogs.gnome.org/johannes/2009/04/25/please-dont-fork-and-esspecially-dont-fork-forks/
