Mailwatch

Today I released version 1.0.0 of the Xfce Mailwatch Plugin. Pasi and I worked our asses off on it, and I finally got around to doing a real release. We feel pretty confident about it, so I decided to go for 1.0.0. Enjoy.

It's interesting how you can see someone in a different context and realise how little you know about that person, even someone you've known for the better part of year. More to come later.

So, yeah. I don’t do a lot of engineering, and interestingly I have lots of ties. And right below the ties is the theatre, which is where I grew up.

Granted, I don't do as much actual engineering as I'd like, but at least my mind is in the right place:

I went through and moderated a whole bunch of comments. Sorry if your post took a long, long, long, long, long, long time to show up ;-)

That said, several people wanted to be sure we were all here. Short answer: Yes. Xfce development is still happening. Long answer, I’m tired and my butt hurts from sitting in an office chair all day, so Dev News has slacked to an all time low.

Anyone have any hints on how to build sysprof?

This is my favorite new blonde joke. It's even better than the Idiot Card.

Google Talk Full Jabber Interoperability

Interesting. When Google Talk first came out, I was somewhat annoyed that they weren't allowing server-to-server communications. That is, people on Google's Jabber network couldn't communicate with people on the "real" Jabber network. JF (with his @jabber.org Jabber account) just requested authorisation to add me to his list... via my Google Talk account. So it seems like the good people at Google changed their minds after all (or were intending to roll this out later all along). Pretty nifty. I'm not sure if they're allowing all server-to-server communication, or just some select few, but this is certainly a step in the right direction.

Update: Looks like Slashdot already has the news, and it is indeed open to all servers. Sweet.
