airport: Surprisingly minimal security at the gate. Still, it’s better than what existed before. I’m a still little miffed though, as zana and I were told on the phone to be at the gate three hours prior to departure. It took 10 minutes to get everything set. Zana has an hour [...]

Movie (Elizabeth): Very cool movie. Very very good movie. Sir Francis Walsingham was very cool. Or maybe it’s just Geoffrey Rush.
Hacking: Nautilus is so cool.
Dinner: We went to an Indian restaurant for dinner. They were playing a version of the theme song from “The Good, The Bad, and The [...]

Blizzard: Came to visit for a week. It was fun to have him around. The dog especially enjoyed his company. After he left, I spent the afternoon and evening cleaning up. I even ironed a bunch of shirts.
Music: I broke down and bought a Moby album yesterday.
Hacking: I’ve been [...]

hacking: Man, it’s been a while since I’ve entered any diaries. I’m tired. I just got AisleRiot2 to draw the old freecell style cards. There’s a screenshot of a random game written in Scheme using the new engine at http://jrb.webwynk.net/files/Screenshot-Test_scm.png I took it with the very nifty screenshooter. GNOME is sooo cool [...]

hacking (GtkTreeView): Started adding keybinding support. I should have done this a long time ago — it was a lot easier then I thought.
wireless: Got 2 cards and a base station. Now I can use my laptop wireless from anywhere in the house. It’s very cool…
federico: Congratulations, dude. I [...]

lunch: Memorial day today. Christian came over and we barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs. Additionally, we made a mediocre green salad, and a very nice pasta salad (Shells with seedless summer tomatoes and pesto.) We asked him to bring the beverages, and he responded by bringing a whole lot of beer, some [...]

doggy: Stinks. Managed to get into something outside recently. I’ve shampooed him four times too…
sports: Watched the Lakers destroy the Spurs with Zana tonight. It was pretty fun. I thought Tim Duncan was cooler then that, though…
hacking: Wrote a small screenshooter for GNOME inspired by Havoc’s post. I found what [...]

hacking (AisleRiot2): Got cards drawing again — this time they’re scaled. Also started porting the drawing engine from AR1 over until I can get real SVG images.
hacking (GtkTreeView): I added the amazing focusing but non-activateable buttons today. These are buttons that you can click on to give focus (necessary for reordering columns). [...]

hacking: wrote a highlighting mode for gtk-demo last night. I have a sinking feeling that it’s the most productive thing I did all week. All the tree bugs I fixed were fairly small ones that no one will ever really see, unless they do things in their program in a backwards order.

movie: Fairwell My Concubine. A very good movie. Made me really greatful again I didn’t grow up in China during the cultural revolution. What a horrible, horrible thing that was. After the movie, I decided to go ahead and buy a book on Cantonese grammar so I can (try to) learn a [...]
