Hopefully, anyway.
I spent some time this last week (probably over 15 hours total) giving the Banshee visualization pipeline another overhaul. In the process of doing this I finally filed a bug I found in the spectrum GStreamer element that I've been trying to work around for a long ...
I've been getting back into chess recently, and my favorite online community is the Free Internet Chess Server (FICS). There are a wealth of free and open interfaces available for download, but they all have one thing in common: you have to download them. At my workplace this is ...
While developing VandalProof, it has become very obvious that being able to interact with the DOM of the displayed page will be vital to achieving the program's goals. At this point, Gecko# does not offer any mechanism by which I can do this.
I talked with mikalh in #mono ...
My computer should be working by the end of the week. Turns out the motherboard is dead, so I'm getting a new system: AMD 64 X2 2.8GHz. $347.24 later and let's hope nothing else fried.
My right wrist is also not working so well. I'm ...
Well it's hacking season again. With GNOME's switch from Subversion to Git complete, which means Banshee now uses Git too, it gave me an excuse to finally learn it. This was not fun. But having toughed it out, I can definitely say that I love it.

At work, we use Subversion for source control. This is quite the popular VCS, but I've grown accustomed to (and much prefer) Git. Don't get me wrong, SVN has its advantages, but since using Git my workflow has changed quite radically, and it's difficult to revert to ...
One of my goals during this rewriting of VandalSniper as a more general-purpose browser has been to reduce or eliminate the dependency on platform-specific glue libraries. JSCall# uses a C/C++ library to interact with the DOM, and this is just one more hurdle to be jumped over on the ...
The latest release of gnome-terminal has removed the ability to disable the blinking cursor, which I had previously turned off. The only way to disable it is to disable blinking cursors in all text entry widgets. For some reason I prefer the cursor in text boxes to blink, but cannot ...
Switching to a new web host is always fun. I spent most of Monday and Tuesday trying to get the Subversion client and Apache module installed and working. Today I tinkered with Sendmail enough to get it doing what I want.
Installing Subversion was much more tricky than it seemed ...
Over the next week or so I'll be working on migrating this site from Apache to nginx, as well as altering the way that various URLs map to sites/applications. I will be trying very hard to avoid any service interruptions by fully testing my nginx configuration before replacing ...
