Recent files woes,
—
Yesterday, on IRC, there has been some discussion about my recently used resources handling proposal - especially with regards to the storage format. I hate discussing on IRC; I’m not fast enough a typist - and since english is not my primary language, I find it very difficult to make myself …
Recent Menu,
—
recent-chooser: Finally, after more than one month of hacking on the RecentManager object, I’ve been able to create a reasonable “Open Recent” menu widget: Obligatory screenshot of the new and improved recent menu The icon code is placed in the RecentInfo object, and it’s based on the GtkFileSystemUnix …
Post-Triage,
—
I’ve spent the last five hours triaging the open bugs of recent-files. Some of them were in bugzilla since 2003, and many were marked UNCOFIRMED. First of all, I scanned the bugs with patches, and created a first batch with the most clean patches I found; then, I triaged …
Taking My Part,
—
recent-files I’ve began assuming maintainership of all the bugs inside Bugzilla for the recent-files component of libegg. The listed bugs are basically issues against API unfriendlyness towards language bindings; segfaults for being too optimistic against user intervention on the storage file; UI enhancements. Many of these bugs have patches …
Blue skies from pain,
—
ork: These last two months of working at $WE_TEACH_TO_TEENAGERS will kill me… I’ve been wiping out disks (which have seen too many months without a format) since last week; Windows9x is Pain and Suffering to maintain. Unfortunately, we still have old ‘chines with only 64 megs of RAM, so …
Back from GUADEC,

Yesterday I came back from the GUADEC 2005 in Stuttgart. It has been freakin’ awesome! The talks, the people, the organization… Simply amazing. I enjoyed every talk I attended: the Cairo talk by Owen Taylor; the Keith Packard’s talk on improving X; Davyd Madeley’s talk on the future …
Stuttgart here we come,
—
Travelling: Tomorrow, after work, I’ll be leaving for Milan where I’ll pick up my girlfriend Marta, and then we’ll be heading Stuttgart for GUADEC 2005. Yay! Since Stuttgart is 500 kilometers (for youn non-metric-system people, roughly 310 miles), we’ll be going with my car - its waaaay …
Bookmark Spec,
—
I’ve sent a draft for a desktop bookmark spec on fd.o, and it got reviewed - mostly by the KDE people, that got already a standard way of storing bookmarks across the desktop. If it reaches the common approval, I’ll apply for a CVS account on freedesktop.org …
Gnome Desktop Bookmarks,
—
On Gnome Live there’s an ongoing discussion about recent files and bookmarks in Gnome. In the last two weeks I’ve been designing and writing a platform library for Gnome which addresses the points made on the Wiki, on Bugzilla and on the mailing lists (as I said here …
DBus Perl Bindings/3,
—
It seems that my work on a D-Bus perl binding was duplicating the (excellent) work of Daniel P. Berrange. Not that I’m complaining: I badly needed to understand how D-Bus worked, and creating a binding was the fastest way to understand the inner workings of D-Bus. Well, all in …
