Guadec 2005,
—
All set and done. After a bit of struggle between PayPal and my credit card, I filled the registration for this year’s GUADEC, that will be held in Stuttgart, Germany. Stuttgart, here we come…
DBus Perl Bindings/2,
—
After four hours straight of hacking, double-checking references, learning D-Bus and the intricacies of Perl XS programming, I have a preliminary draft of perl bindings for D-Bus. At the moment, they do nothing, since there isn’t much more than the DBus::Connection object, but they are loading correctely, and …
Glib::KeyFile/2,
—
After being in Florence with Marta for just about two days, I’ve received the “go ahead” from the gtk2-perl team, and committed my patch for the GKeyFile bindings (closing bug #301171). Now you can parse the .desktop files directly in Perl. Hurray for me.
Gtk2::Recent and recent-files,
—
Gtk2::Recent status: Finally, the libegg/recent-files bindings for Perl hit the gtk2-perl CVS server (well, at least the authenticated CVS server; anonymous CVS should be updated in 24 hours). recent-files status: On a related note, I mailed James Willcox (the recent-files maintainer), asking him if this library is still …
Glib::KeyFile,
—
I began working on a perl binding for the key file parser inside Glib. I have an implementation almost ready, albeit not usable right now. I’d like to translate a key file structure to the more perlish equivalent of an associative array; that is, I want to translate this …
gtk2-perl lives!/2,
—
I put up some more content on the gtk2-perl wiki page, and Torsten Schoenfeld already helped fixing my typos (kudos, Torsten). So, I hit the gtk2-perl mailing list with the announcement of our wiki page.
gtk2-perl lives!,
—
I’ve put up a stub page for the gtk2-perl bindings on the Gnome Live! wiki. I’ll soon fill it up with pointers to developer resources, programs and tutorial. I’d like that every gtk2-perl developer use it for public coordination and planning, instead of relying on private email …
DBus Perl Bindings,
—
I’m the process of writing the Perl bindings for DBus, the New! And! Improved! IPC mechanism, which is spreading throughout the entire Linux desktop scene. Since I’m binding the GLib interface, the choosen namespace is DBus::Glib; I also plan to add the low-level stuff inside …
GConf’s User Interface,
—
Last month I have found some time to hack again on the Gnome2::GConf module, the Perl bindings to GConf. IOI wrapped the GConfEngine low-level stuff, and rewrote the entire error handling layer. While I was at it, I began thinking of a simple Perl module containing GConf-bound widgets, as …
Ubuntu on a Packard-Bell EasyNote E6300,
—
Ubuntu Linux Installation Notes I’ve recently purchased a Packard Bell EasyNote (E6300) notebook. After removing Windows XP that comes pre-installed (you might want to try and get your money back; I just didn’t think that it was worth the troubles, paper and phone-time), I’ve installed Ubuntu Linux …
