  1. , I’ve just committed some code that should hopefully fix bug #172587 of the old recent-files code. The bug was hard to track down - and for it I do own a beer to Sebastien Bacher: it appears that older versions of OpenOffice creeped unescaped & into the dot-recently-used file we use …
  2. , I’ve just donated to the GNOME Foundation. Not much (but since I got back to studying for this year, my revenue stream has really slowed down), but I plan to donate more money, aside from my time as a developer, to the F/OSS projects that I …
  3. , New week, new adventures Actually, the number of new adventures has been strictly limited by my birthday first, and by a strange feeling of drowsiness that lasted all week (and still lasts as I’m writing this). Probably, it’s due to the fact that I’ve been sleeping like …
  4. , 0x19 years. Presents so far: Dancing Barefoot and Just a Geek by Wil Wheaton, from Marta (at midnight) money, from my parents and relatives (I love it) the new Back to the Future pack from my former high-school mates (we still see each other to hang out in week-ends): because …

  7. , Yesterday, I was attending the GTK developers meeting and I was asked by Federico what performances the BookmarkFile parser yields. I replied: ebassi: f_lunch, I/O plays a big role. a file with 3000 bookmarks gets parsed in 2 seconds, more or less (cold cache). ebassi: f_lunch, which, I think …
  8. , Marta, as an early (a week early) birthday present, bought me Dancing Barefoot, the first book written by Wil Wheaton. It arrived today, and I literally devoured it in an hour. Wil writes gorgeously. I found myself smiling, grinning or plain laughing out loud while reading it. As a trekker …
  9. , This has totally made my day. [doom] [doom+video+billgates]
  10. , In order to let others know how’s the status of GNOME Dictionary Breaking is progressing (and in order to force myself working on it regularly ;-)), I’m sending the Not So Weekly Status Report on GNOME Dictionary Containing the status of the review-slash-breaking-slash-rewrite process of …
