  1. , — I saw today on the Planet that Miguel linked the documentary filmed by italian jorunalists working for the italian public broadcaster (RAI, which oddly enough should be, and is written as, an acronym but it expands to nothing). It was broadcasted on the satellite channels, and announced the day before …
  2. , — In case you’ve been wondering if I had disappeared or something… I’m in the middle of a session of exams, this week (four of them, to be precise), and I’ve had to cut down hacking time; nevertheless, I’ve been able to commit a set of fixes …
  3. , — GNOME Performance Love Day just ended. Bugs were filed, patches applied, applications profiled. A little step in the right direction for making GNOME faster. Thanks to everyone involved: you rock.
  4. , — Sunday will be the GNOME Performance Love Day! The idea was first proposed on the #performance channel, after seeing that some of the initial performance related issues were simply lacking a bitof man-power, and weren’t that difficult even for a beginner; mainly, at this point, lazy loading of shared …
  5. , — As I said on the gnome-utils mailing list, the GNOME Dictionary codebase sucks. Well, it sucks to the very end of it. It really shows its age (it’s more than 5 years old), and suffers of what I’m used to call design by accretion. This particular technique of …
  6. , — With almost everyone in Boston, both the mailing lists and IRC channels are really quiet; feels a little weird - but I think it’s mostly envy for not being able to go to the other side of the pond and hack away. Thus, staying here means choosing between 1. cleaning …
  7. , — Here we go again profiling GMarkup. Finally, I’ve been able to compile sysprof, and launch a profiling session of the BookmarkFile parser under it. This time, I’ve been using a 1.6MB file, with 3360 bookmark elements. Just to shed a bit more light on the storage format …
  8. , — Today I had a couple of hours to spare at the university, so I decided to implement a couple of items in my “to do” list. The first is the creation of a simple function for adding items to the RecentManager - ideally, it should require just a URI and retrieve …
  9. , — This applet is a demonstrator of the new RecentManager API. It’s a panel applet showing the list of recently used resources; the list may be filtered by date. Each item is droppable inside each application recognizing URIs targets. Note: This is only a technology demonstrator; nobody uses the …
  10. , — Finally, after a more then a year of testing inside CVS, Gtk2::SourceView made it to the public. This Perl module is a wrapper around gtksourceview, the C library used primarily by Gedit. I’ve began writing it in January 2004, after working on Gnome2::Print (libgnomeprint(ui) Perl bindings …
