Blogging, Utopia and a Lazy Weekend.

June 8, 2004 3:11 am General

Pretty happy to see that blogs.sun.com was officially announced, and a typical reaction. It’s just another step toward a more open and communicative company. Awesome stuff. I got in early and registered gman, although I don’t expect I’ll have much to say there.

So, Robert Love has nicely thrown a spanner in the works with a proposed module inclusion of GNOME Volume Manager for GNOME 2.8 – only because it’s a significant amount of work to get the backend pieces in shape for Solaris [HAL, D-BUS, …]. Hoping it happens though – project Utopia rocks.

Had a pretty lazy bank holiday weekend. The Opshop/Feelers gig on Friday night was groovy, although went on quite late. I was slightly disappointed by the Feelers though – they certainly didn’t pull of a performance like Opshop did, but I probably didn’t know their songs quite as well. Went into town on Saturday night to celebrate Andy and Drek’s birthdays for a few pints. Sunday started with a brunch celebrating JP’s birthday, a friend of Carolyns. While Andy and Maeve headed off to Arthur’s Pass after cheering Steve in the Christchurch marathon, lunchtime wine got the better of Carolyn and myself – we resorted to a quiet evening of a bottle of wine and watching a DVD. Sunday involved a pretty cruisey walk up the Bridle path in the Port Hills and a drive over to Littleton and Governor’s Bay to blow out the cob webs.

The car passed the WOF again. Hooray! Andy celebrated by buying 2 new front tires for it.
