Scary Voice Over,
—
Since last tuesday, I’ve done little to nothing on the “hack” side; I’ve began a little project in Perl that should resolve in a backup manager (it’s called Hudson), but mostly I’ve done some code polishing to the libegg/recentchooser code, following the notes about the …

T' me, Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day! That time in September when sea dogs remember That grown-ups still know how ta play! When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy And a soft-wear patch covers your eye, Ta hell with our jobs, for one …
Cleaning up,

life: after the “exam craze” (two in five days) that took the best part of the week, me and Marta have resumed cleaning up the house. Since I have moved in with her, there has been so much work to do that we haven’t really felt the whole “moving …

Using advogato (and my log), since I’m not on the Planet (yet). I’ve just read Daniel’s post, and since shame is a powerful drive, here’s my non-requested answer. I’m one guy - quite possibly, the only one - that switched from a full-fledged XML parser like libxml2 …

hacking: That is, the GMarkup-based XBEL parser that should be used to parse “desktop bookmarks” (recent files, filechooser’s bookmarks, default locations, etc.) Today I’ve worked hard on the namespace parsing mechanism, and even though I feel like it’s a little too fragile, and it doesn’t cover …
Profiling GMarkup,
—
Since I’ve been re-writing the XBEL parser in order to use GMarkup in place of libxml2, I’ve also felt the need to get some profile going. I’ve always felt that one of the biggest bottlenecks in the recent-files was its use of GMarkup for the recent files …
Surgeon,

Today, Marta went to Trento to visit some relatives of hers, so I spent the entire day alone. I’ve studied for a while (I have a OS exam monday, mostly Linux-based on the case studies, even though the kernel shown is a 2.0 at most), and then I …

xavier Originally uploaded by ebassi. A couple of weeks ago, me and Marta had some spare time on our hands, and since I had “retired” my old server (wolverine) before leaving for Amsterdam, I needed a new linux box doing all the dirty stuff for my home network. I also …
GoogleTalk,

Seems that this is the new hotness. I’ve had a GMail account for some time now, and GMail really changed the way I use email everyday - at least until Google added POP/SMTP support, then I got back using a MUA (at least when I can use either my …
RecentChooserWidget/1,
—
The EggRecentChooserWidget code is in CVS since a bunch of minutes, complete with a context menu allowing the removal of items from the list, the ability to add a custom RecentManager instance instead of using its own (still requires some polishing, but the interesting bits are there), and filtering based …
