It’s done
It’s done, exams are finished. At least until august since i have to present once again those i didn’t pass during the june session, i’ll know on thursday which ones. Now i have plenty of time ahead, i have plans for Xfprint 4.4 (lprng support, better cups support, utf8 support and make a2ps optionnal); if you have suggestions or are willing to contribute let me know. I’ll start hacking Xfprint code next week. It’s good to be on holidays.
Intelligent Design
As seen on Planet GNOME, maybe this could be interesting for Maria van der Hoeven, our minister of education: Intelligent Design.
Fairly entertaining. Don’t read it if you are easily offended about your religion and that religion happens to be Christian.
What’s next
Nope, Jasper. It’s not the chemistry.
Maybe it’s the “I couldn’t care less” questions.
So what’s next? I’m branching xffm-4.3.2.4 which will probably not even compile until merged into trunk. This branch will be a mayor change in structural design to ease maintainability and development of code. The idea is to push all the nonintelligeble nerdiness (yes, even I sometimes have a hard time finding my way around) into abstract reusable objects. In later versions I might fork things apart, iconview-gui, treeview-gui, file management libraries, mimetype libraries, helper applications and the like.
Anyways, I’m happy Benny showed signs of life. I was getting worried about him being in a train accident or something.
So. I’m Married
I got married yesterday. Jasper said that blogging on my wedding day makes my geek score go through the roof.
Yes, it was all lovely, and thus far married life is all it’s cracked up to be. However, my lease ends on Tuesday, which also happens to be my departure date for the honeymoon.
Brian should be handling the news while I’m gone, as likely as not on as crazy a schedule. I won’t be answering my email till I get internet at the new apartment. For Mousepad support, slap it into bugzilla, only way to be sure I’ll get it.
When I return, I have some plans for 4.4 I’d like to set into motion, but more on that when I return.
XWN for March May 5th, through March May 17th, 2005
Welcome to the XWN, where piles of mailing list messages, IRC conversations, and Slashdot trolls are condensed down to something that almost resembles fun. (and where the W probably doesn’t stand for weekly anymore. Oh well).
Xfce 4.2.2 released
Xfce 4.2.2 is available. Download locations can be found on this page, and a changelog is available here.
XWN – April 27th through May 4th, 2005
Slow week in Xfce land. But I don’t mind, makes my job easier.
On to the main event.
