  • coding: Johann shamed me into starting a GtkTreeView editor for gazpacho. I spent a couple of hours tonight on it, and got a mockup going. I have a good idea of what I want it to look like, and will try hooking it up to Gazpacho tomorrow. This will make it easier to make a GtkTreeView, and more importantly, make it more obvious how to use the widget.

    It was also the first time that I’d used gazpacho for any real work. This program has matured a lot and I’m pretty excited for it. It had some quirks and bugs (which I’ll file tomorrow) but was basically usable. It acts a lot nicer than glade too, and more importantly, has a much nicer code base to hack on.

    Unfortunately, we’re still blocking on #69639, and thus this dialog will just be a novelty in the short term. gazpacho’s loader can handle GObjects, so python programs can use it, but other applications will have to wait until libglade lands in GTK+-2.10.

  • cooking: Zana and I made blueberry-rhubarb pie. We put in too much sugar, and it’s way too sweet. I’ll have to try again when we finish it.

  • bugs: There are forty bugs against the screenshooter! It just takes screenshots, for heaven’s sake — how can it be that buggy?? It looks like I’m definitely going to spend some time going through these bugs soon. The highlight of these is a patch from Dan Winship to draw the cursors in the screenshots. Awesome!

  • cooking: After the disasterous All Star game, we made a fruit tart. The crust came out really nicely and the fruit was beautiful. Unfortunately, we accidentally bought tiramisu marscapone instead of plain marscapone which gave the tart a slight coffee flavor. It wasn’t bad, per se, but it tasted a little weird.

  • bookworm: Zana has been bugging me for a long time about adding better syntax checking to bookworm. Instead of doing this, I spent a couple nights teaching her Python. She picked it up really quickly, and she spent most of tonight adding a bunch of sanity checks to the code. It should fail a lot less now.

    Tomorrow, we’re going to tackle the overview dialog and get that going. We’ll see if our relationship survives me teaching her about GtkTreeView…

  • GTK+ (gtkrbtree.c): Below, I should have had: (node->right == tree->nil || !GTK_RBNODE_FLAG_SET…) This cute little bug, plus one other, kept me busy drawing pictures of Red-Black trees for almost three days.

  • guests (blizzard): Chris is in town for a week or so, again. We’re spending the afternoon hacking in the dining room, listening to Ziggy Stardust. Need to get the Bauhaus version some day…

  • Cooking: Zana’s been experimenting with the Dutch Oven for dinner for the last few weeks. It’s been a lot of fun seeing her transform very tough cuts of meat into tasty, juicy dinners. The only drawback is that there doesn’t seem to be a concept of a light dutch oven dinner.

  • cooking: Made Quesadillas for dinner with homemade guacamole. It was yummy, despite the fact that Food Lion sold me cheese past its expiration date.

  • hacking: Spent too much time playing Fortress and not enough time working on it these last coupla days. I need to put some serious effort in it this weekend.

  • Nothing: Dang is it loud. Definately need noise mufflers or something…

  • hacking (GtkTreeView): Had a very productive day avoiding working on the keyboard navigation code. Fixed a lot of small bugs that have need doing for a while. I’ll get back to navigation tomorrow.

  • Table Tennis: Owen is getting better at this game faster then I am. Time to put in some extra training time.
