Tangled up in Blue

Random Seed update.

Quite a few bugs have been fixed since the last Seed release, including some build system improvements, some memory improvements, a few consistency things with how things are mapped, updated examples, some big optimizations to the GObject subclassing code, and a few bugfixes in the new imports sytem.

For some reason this morning I woke up and wrote some documentation something describing how things are mapped when importing namespaces in Seed, as this is one of the most common questions I get. I think, someone who has already programmed with Gtk in C, etc…should be able to install Seed, read this, and then start coding in Seed.

In light of all this, I’m hoping to make a 0.5.5 release in the next week (or maybe delaying a bit if a GObject-introspection release is coming soon). I made a mistake releasing 0.5 depending on introspection from GIT.

Twitter

I’m trying to use twitter lately, and it’s kind of fun, follow me!

Random Life update

School is almost over for the year, a little hard to imagine I am halfway done with undergrad…this is looking to be a great summer though.

Primarily I’m going to be staying in Troy, which should be really exciting, and living in an apartment by myself will be a new experience.

I’ll be in Barcelona for UDS Karmic (from around May 24-30th), really looking forward to this.

Also hoping to be able to go to Gran Canaria for the desktop summit…but this is still a little up in the air. If I do end up going I have to find a roommate. I’d kind of like to speak about Seed, but missed the deadline for registering to talk (not knowing if I was going to be able to go) and I hope if I do end up going I can work something out.

I’m going to have a lot of time to work on various GNOME things this summer, so maybe some of my old shelved projects will get finished
