It’s been a rather good weekend. Today Amy and John came over and we spent most of the day wandering around the town. We went to a bookshop where there turned out to be a signing by a local author called Tamera Lawrence who had just written her first book. I talked to her for a bit and she told me that the important thing is to write every day: I think this is good advice and since I won’t be able to spend spare time on the Welsh course after all it seems a good thing to put some hours into. Anyway, Rio found herself some books, and then we went to a comic shop where she bought herself an Emily the Strange comic. Later we went home and played Mao: Rio is a formidable opponent and won three against my one. I really am very proud of her. Then we went to the diner and had dinner together and played Apples to Apples.
I’ve also built the first version of a unit test suite for Metacity. There’s only the one test at the moment (for reparenting) but it’s scriptable so it’ll be less difficult to add more tests as we go along. Next I want to test all the keypresses and as many GConf keys as possible. (Whoever had the idea about including a private DBus daemon was absolutely correct. Thank you.)
I am very excited that we might get a project-wide DVCS, even if it’s not the one I voted for.
