Beamer and animations
Has anyone got animations working with beamer and evince? I want to add some bling to my talk at GUADEMY and can’t seem to get ogv videos playing. Thanks!
gpk-log improvements
Compared to the old log viewer, I think this one is much better:
Further feedback appreciated. Does anyone know how to make the text automatically wrap to the next line in the treeview?
Helping to translate PackageKit
Due to the way PolicyKit works, not all the translations can be done in the client tools. The authentication dialogs come from the daemon and thus don’t get translated by the GNOME translation team. The GNOME guys are rocking doing the client stuff, but the daemon remains untranslated.
If you have a spare few minutes (only 88 short strings), please send me a .po file from this pot file. You can see what po files already exist in gitweb. I really appreciate it, thanks.
Richard.

This UI is really bad. Please suggest improvements. Thanks!
New home of my blog
LiveJournal has been really frustrating me recently spammers and with the lack of OpenID. I’ve moved my blog here as my GNOME Foundation Membership has been accepted. Thanks guys!
OpenID
I've had about a billion people to ask me to enable OpenID on my blog. The only way I can enable OpenID is to also allow anonymous postings (!!) and when I do that I get 50+ spam a day to sort through. I think it's LJ just being difficult. Ideally I want to move away from LiveJournal as I have the free account that is getting more stupid every month and the spam problem is getting worse, even just allowing registered users. Does anyone know how I apply for a blog at blogs.gnome.org? I've tried, but Sorry, that email address is not allowed so I'm guessing I need a @gnome.org email address. Any other ideas?
UPDATED! Thanks for the comments!
PackageKit and Debian
I've finally solved all the issues with PackageKit and Debian – I present the new gnome-packagekit frontend for Debian: Joking aside, Debian and Ubuntu can work just fine with PackageKit, I'm really not sure what all the noise is about.
Using PackageKit in GNOME programs
Do you develop a GNOME program and want to install extra stuff for your application? Want me to write you some code for your application to make it “just work”? Ideas I can think of: • Installing extensions in epiphany • Installing debuginfos in the GNOME crasher thing • Installing language packs in abiword • Installing clipart for scribus • Installing -devel packages in anjuta for the autocompletion • Making GIMP install it's own plugins when an obscure file format is opened Any other suggestions welcome. Please email me if you want some help. You can install a package based on the package name, or just by specifying a file that the package provides. All the yucky stuff like licence agreements and GPG auth is handled in libpackagekit-gnome. You'll need to be running Fedora 9 prerelease if you want precompiled rpm's that work. I'll make the code a configure option (–enable-packagekit) so it won't be a hard dep. Any takers?
