Posted on May 13, 2005 by Emmanuele Bassi

I’ve sent a draft for a desktop bookmark spec on fd.o, and it got reviewed – mostly by the KDE people, that got already a standard way of storing bookmarks across the desktop. If it reaches the common approval, I’ll … Continue reading →

DBus Perl Bindings/3

Posted on May 6, 2005 by Emmanuele Bassi

It seems that my work on a D-Bus perl binding was duplicating the (excellent) work of Daniel P. Berrange. Not that I’m complaining: I badly needed to understand how D-Bus worked, and creating a binding was the fastest way to … Continue reading →

Glib::KeyFile/2

Gtk2::Recent and recent-files

Posted on April 16, 2005 by Emmanuele Bassi

I put up some more content on the gtk2-perl wiki page, and Torsten Schoenfeld already helped fixing my typos (kudos, Torsten). So, I hit the gtk2-perl mailing list with the announcement of our wiki page.

Posted on April 13, 2005 by Emmanuele Bassi

I’ve put up a stub page for the gtk2-perl bindings on the Gnome Live! wiki. I’ll soon fill it up with pointers to developer resources, programs and tutorial. I’d like that every gtk2-perl developer use it for public coordination and … Continue reading →
