The Perfect Crime #2,
—
so, I found this little fella sitting on my desk: [caption id=”attachment_410” align=”aligncenter” width=”384” caption=”Have You Seen This Gnome?”][/caption] who was apparently reported as missing in action. let’s see if we can find a new home for it…
I was meant for the stage,

like a lot of Gnome developers, I’ll also be at the Desktop Summit 2011 in Berlin: I have a talk on Saturday at 11:20, and I’ll have the Board meetings contending for my presentation, hacking and meeting time during most of the conference — but every minute I …
This is Why We Fight,
—
one thing that bugged me since the implementation of the Clutter animation framework in its current form was the property access API in GObject — especially the boxing/unboxing of GValues. since GLib 2.28 2.24 we had a new macro (G_VALUE_COLLECT_INIT) that avoided doing unnecessary work, but the end …
All Arise,

congratulations to everyone who contributed — feature, widget, application, translation, one-liner, documentation, art, design. you all rock my world. today I’m immensely proud to be a GNOME developer and user.
January Hymn,
—

Code Quality,
—
Morten, it’s actually my fault. the patch that was submitted was the incorrect one; I’ve been fixing the implementation since then, mostly because the API is correct — and went through different eyeballs to ensure that — and we wanted to land it before the GLib freeze. the implementation, alas …
Walk the line,
—
I’ve noticed that I haven’t blogged about JSON-GLib in a while. since the last time, I release version 0.10, which had a lot of fixes in the JSON ⬌ GObject transformation code, thanks to the contributions of Tristan Van Berkom. the 0.10 release allowed to transform …
GTK+ Meeting @ GUADEC 2010 - update,
—
since I’m stupid and I scheduled the team meeting before I could actually be in The Hague, I had to move the meeting. and, again, since I’m stupid I managed to schedule it against important talks of the day — and my own. so: the GTK+ team meeting has …
