First Post

I’ve decided to experiment with the whole blogging
thing. A lot of the GNOME folks seem to be down with it, so I’ll
give it a shot. I intend to document my GNOME work here, as well
as events in my life deemed more than trivially significant.

As far as GNOME work goes I’m currently helping Havoc handle
maintaining metacity, writing actual code for metacity whenever
possible, and generally making a nuisance of myself on GNOME
mailing lists. In particular, my hope is that this weekend I’ll
get a chance to maybe go through some applications like
gnome-terminal and epiphany and implement forwarding of
_NET_WM_USER_TIME timestamps from startup notification so that new
instances of old applications won’t pop up in the background
without focus.
