After a lovely and relaxing Thanksgiving break without any coding whatsoever, I’m trying to atone by pushing forward with nemiver a bit more (don’t worry, I’ll be going back to working on wrapping cluttermm again soon, but I’m sort of waiting for the 0.6 API to settle down a little bit first). In any case, as of last night, my branch of nemiver can view and edit memory, thanks to the magic of reusable widgets. GHex needs some modifications in order for it to work properly, so I haven’t pushed these changes to svn yet, but hopefully they’ll go in soon.

Everything is Politics
One of the things you hear regularly when issues of a non-technical nature raise their heads are pleas to ignore the politics and focus on the technical issues. These are well-meaning but ultimately misguided. The point of murray’s post was that there are social issues that are having a detrimental effect on the project. You may disagree with the actual content of the post, but then the proper response is to disagree, not to implore people to ignore political or social issues altogether. If we insist on sticking our heads in the sand and ignoring social issues just because we “don’t like politics”, then we will get what we deserve as a project.
Update: It appears that in the time it took me to write this post, several others have expressed this sentiment more eloquently than I could have.

A week ago or so, I started working on a C++ binding for clutter. It’s still in the early stages but I’ve gotten to the point where I can run some simple examples. So, not very interesting yet, but it’s coming along. If you want to take a look (I don’t know why you would, frankly), it’s in the gnomemm respository.
