Ph33r me- I have written another patch. Longer than one character this time. With it, pyldtp/ldtp in tinderbox is a bit closer to reality. Unfortunately, AFAICT, forge.novell does not allow non-interactive, anonymous logins, and that is sort of putting a crimp in actually finishing the project.
Saw Howl’s Moving Castle today; was pretty good right up [...]
Random shite from today:
Holy shit! I don’t know if this is upstream, or an ubuntu patch, or what, but the system tools’ network manager just gave me a dropdown of essids that it got from iwlist scanning. Sweeet. Thanks to whoever did that.
Attended a talk by JD Lasica at the Berkman center. JD’s Our Media [...]
Wingo: jhbuild will do a notification icon as well; probably doesn’t fit your other needs but WTH :)
Speaking of jhbuild, it is now one tiny bit sweeter. I’m testing, but I think with this commit (and perhaps a howl change :/ it is possible to do a cvs checkout of jhbuild and immediately use it [...]
My evening:
Broke a rule, had sushi on the weekend, at the quite yummy Takemura in Harvard Square. Was new for us, and glad we went. AC and cold, yummy mochi certainly helped our impression of the place ;) but we’ll go again.
The revitalized hand of tinderbox has pointed its first finger at… Colin and Ross. [...]
Whoa. Things I learned yesterday- there is a fairly large GNOME China website, and a whole Chinese distro based on GNOME. Very cool. [Someone pointed me the other day to a Japanese distro in the same vein, but now I can't find it.]
James Ogley is giving me hope that one can go back to school [...]
Went to a reunion dinner with my dad last night, for the 35th anniversary of his medical school graduation. We had some miscommunication… there are three Harvard Clubs in the city, and the dinner was at the third one we went to. Oops.
Telsa:
missed a conference, was completely unmissed at it
Very much missed. I think I [...]
So… let’s play ‘Luis is a journalist, who writes for a news site with a focus on small, timely articles’, and see what Luis might have written about today in GNOME.
Developers discuss dependency on next version of GTK
GNOME developers today discussed whether or not the next version of GNOME (2.12, due out in September) should [...]
I’ve previously blogged about Eugenia here and here. I’ve never previously been directly misrepresented by her, though, until now! Oh, the excitement. Let us see what is wrong with this story. (Well, with the original version; some of the problems listed below have been corrected. Yay for doing research after publishing.)
I’m described as a Novell [...]
Had a very good dinner yesterday with some random tech folks from around the area. Interesting take-away from the dinner: all of the other attendees are proprietary people by background who use and like open source (though that wasn’t a goal of the organizers, just happened that way) and all thought that they were seeing [...]
Had great dinner with the Cap’n tonight; we’ve had our disagreements at times but I’ve always valued his advice and I’m going to spend a lot of time mulling over what we talked about. Otherwise, the day was mostly about getting little things done- laundry, more Windows/VMWare/school stuff, some reading. I’ve totally fallen behind on [...]
