  • Hacking (AisleRiot2): Did work on masks. I also realized I’m going to have to do this an inefficient way, in order to get the antialiased effect correct. I wonder if there’s anything wrong with having a widget with shaped windows as it’s window.

  • Food (dinner): Mama Dips with Zana, Havoc, Amy and Owen. I had fried catfish bones with some meat attached. Eating was an adventure.

  • Beer: Got a bad bottle of New Castle tonight. It is making me sick. )-:

  • Boomers: A friend of mine had a really bad day. He has a cool website though: http://www.bitwaste.com/

  • Dates: Yesterday was pi day. Zana and I celebrated by watching Pi, and Eating Pie (peach and sweet potato). Today was the Ides of March. We watched ‘the Cell’, which was better than I thought it was going to be (and had heard.)

  • Hacking (GtkTreeView): Did more work on keyboard navigation. Put up a screenshot here: http://webwynk.net/~jrb/files/halmark.png

  • Hacking (piano): My Mussorgsky finally arrived. I am indeed a hack.

  • hacking (AisleRiot): I finally bugged itp enough to make him make a gnome-games release. Next, I need to bug him to capitalize AisleRiot correctly…

  • hacking (AisleRiot2): you can now move cards onto slots, and reveal hidden cards. Next — animations.

  • hacking (GtkTreeView): Spent the day fixing a bunch of little bugs, and talking to TimJ about how to handle values better. Other then that, I’m basically down to two big API changes left in the tree — the sort model rewrite, and the focus changes. I should be done with both by GUADEC.

  • food (dinner): Went to the Carolina Coffee house and had a very flat beer. The waiter never refilled Zana’s sweet tea either. Normally the food is better then that. Disappointing.

  • car: My car seems to be falling apart. I need to get it cleaned and serviced sometime soon.

  • 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.

  • hacking (AR2): Cards now move. I think redraws of slots are too slow. I might try to play with the XRender extention sometime this weekend to see if I can get it working, and if it speeds things up.

  • food (lunch): Went to Neo China again for the first time in a long time. Hasn’t changed one bit in the last couple of months.

  • food (dinner): Middle East Cafe for dinner with Havoc, Amy, Owen, and Zana. Had a big plate of Hummus, Meat, and Tabouli. Shoulda got desert or coffee afterwards, but ended up with a can of Dr. Browns Diet Cream Soda. Zana pointed out that it said 100% Nutrasweet on the side, which was just a little bit disturbing.

  • dog: Time to give him a shower again soon. He’s not going to like this.

  • Hosedness: My friend Julie is finally unhosed again, after successively defending. Cool.

  • hacking (AR2): Couldn’t sleep, so I did most of the work needed to get cards moving (except actually moving the silly window.)

  • Laptop: I totally forgot to mention this yesterday, but I ordered my new laptop! I ordered a Dell C600 w/ RH 7 preinstalled. I guess I’ll get a chance to see how good a job Dell does at preinstalling linux. Time to make sure it’s insured…
