coding: Johann shamed me into starting a GtkTreeView editor for gazpacho. I spent a couple of hours tonight on it, and got a mockup going. I have a good idea of what I want it to look like, and will try hooking it up to Gazpacho tomorrow. This will make it easier to make a [...]

bugs: There are forty bugs against the screenshooter! It just takes screenshots, for heaven’s sake — how can it be that buggy?? It looks like I’m definitely going to spend some time going through these bugs soon. The highlight of these is a patch from Dan Winship to draw the cursors in the screenshots. Awesome! [...]

evince: We got a bunch of patches this weekend from Matt Wilson of rpath fame to fix up the tiff backend. If someone wants to hook us up to some telephony software, we’d make a pretty awesome display for a fax program. I also read in the ChangeLog that Marco put some code to make [...]

evince: Last time I wrote about evince, I posted a fake screenshot of it reading mail. While I thought it was obviously a cheesy composite and a pretty funny idea, some people did not. In retrospect, I should have spent more time in the gimp to make it less realistic — and thus more obviously [...]

evince: Since I was bored, and since evince had every other possible feature that a pdf viewer should have, I thought I’d add e-mail support to it: http://www.gnome.org/~jrb/files/evince-mail.png Took only half an hour’s work, too.

maemo: Strange name. Are they going to call it the Mæmo at some point? How is the name pronounced? However it may sound it looks really nice, and I can’t wait to see one in action at GUADEC.

evince: On a whim, I gave a quick look into writing a TIFF backend for evince. It only took an hour or so to do, and I was able to commit something this afternoon. It renders all the tiff files (two) that I have quite nicely. Marco also did a 0.3.1 release today. This version [...]

defeat: I have suffered a complete and utter defeat. After sitting in the shed for six months, the lawn mower refused to start. Now that I finally have a day when I can mow, my equipment has let me down. The lawn is mocking me.

introspection: Matthias has been doing fantastic work on the GObject introspection front. It’s currently in the gobject-introspection module in CVS if anyone wants to play with it. It is already mostly functional, if a bit untested. He added libffi support this week, meaning that g_function_info_invoke() now works. For those who haven’t been following this project, [...]

life: I finally naturalized. As of two weeks ago, I’m an American citizen. It has been long overdue, and was a hectic process. It culminated in a six hour ceremony — or at least, four and a half hours of waiting followed by a thirty minute swearing-in process. All-in-all, it was a small price to [...]
