Havoc and some other guys. And myself. And some other people without a blog (hello jobi). What? I'm joining LiTL. Where? Ye Olde London Town. When? Next week, actually. Why? To do The Right Thing. Or maybe it was the other way around? For the details you'll have to ... http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2008/04/14/joining-litl/ When I said a few weeks ago that an important announcement would be made about the future of Epiphany some people told me it was really obvious what was coming. Seeing the reaction of some to the now public announcement, it seems there's still some room for disbelief. Maybe the ... http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2008/04/06/epiphany-%e2%99%a5-webkit/ I'll be leaving Nokia by the end of next. It's been a sometimes fun, sometimes strange ride, but it's time to move on to new and bigger (or maybe not so big?) challenges. Long live to the three-letter toolkit team! (fer, mdk, tko, luc, xan).  Update:  Now, that's a coincidence http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2008/03/19/leaving-nokia/ Already back from the Berlin GTK+ Hackfest (managed to not blog even once from there, a bit lame).

Attentive followers may have noticed that there hasn't been any Epiphany releases in the 2.21.x cycle so far; why? I'm glad you ask! First, the GtkMozEmbed situation was a bit chaotic, and we were not really sure if ... http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2007/12/14/the-facts-in-the-case-of-mr-epifanio-navegared/ I don't really remember how we got there, but a couple of days ago at the office we ended up talking about the complexity of the codebase we have to deal with. Tommi mentioned the McCabe cyclomatic complexity, "which may be considered a broad measure of soundness and confidence for ... http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2007/10/25/the-cyclomatic-horror-from-outer-space/ As others have alread commented, the new tablet is now out. But I'm a software guy, so I'll talk about the software it runs and let others dissect the hardware. As Michael says we had to break the API to unfuck cleanup the mess that was our stack until now. This ... http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2007/10/17/n810-and-new-gtkhildon-stack/ I always like to read others people hacking tips, mostly because I suck a lot at using any tool correctly and I am almost always enlightened by them. Today I'll try to contribute one small trick to the pool. I remember the last time I posted something about gtk-look.el, someone asked ... http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2007/10/08/gtk-hacking-with-emacs-a-small-trick/ Ok, there's something to play with now for the very early adopters: Checkout Epiphany trunk (http://svn.gnome.org/svn/epiphany/trunk/) Apply the patch on bug 459333 Checkout WebKit trunk (http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk) Build and install the GTK port: cd WebKit WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --qmakearg=WEBKIT_INC_DIR=$PREFIX/include/WebKit --qmakearg=WEBKIT_LIB_DIR=$PREFIX/lib --gdk cd WebKitBuild/Release && make install For me the path to the pc file was broken and had to fix ... http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2007/07/24/if-you-see-the-buddha-on-the-road-port-it-to-gtk/
