You will make many changes before settling satisfactorily
- Some cool Nautilus file manager scripts and GNOME Power User Tools. When time permits, or if someone else is interested, these should really get packaged for Extras. Also, posting to flickr using Nautilus is nifty. A useful resource is the GNOME ISV Guide – with tools like Sabayon, and more gconf customisations, I can see this being a very, very useful resource.
- San Francisco was the usual fun. Oakland was far out, but go BART. We toured the Mission District on Wednesday, and tried to run a tour on Thursday for various sites in San Francisco. Seeing Fisherman’s Wharf after about eleven years, things don’t seem to have changed. Topic is from the fortune cookie that I kept.
- The craze with Harry Potter is out. I pre-ordered the last book, and till today, a year later, still haven’t read it. So I’ll have to marathon the two at some stage. So, its not only churches that don’t like you reading HP, its also rms.
- Finally catching up with mail (thanks to the rain, humidity and heat outside), and there’s some new things in Maemo land. For starters, python 2.4 is now available. And there’s also a MaemoWiki. Also, since Fedora is big on Eclipse, there is a Laika Scratchbox plugin available. While I haven’t tried making a package, I’m unsure if it will work on Fedora or not without a Debian chroot or something.
- At the Desktop Developers Conference 2005 I learnt a few new things – how to use inotify with gamin (its now in rawhide kernels too), Eclipse Trader might be useful for stock trading, Unicode is important, Rasterman believes that “Bling bling is much more important than functionality”, and Hubert has been lied to, many a time :) More to the point, I learnt more about digital imaging, and its something that’s of interest lately (I want my RAW working, and cataloging, backing up, and manipulation via The GIMP, etc.).
- Glad to see its not just dwmw2 or me running FC-4 on the Pegasos II. We clearly need a new yaboot (basically with svenl’s patches), and we don’t have anaconda working (neither does ydl), and I definitely need to update the fedora ppc document.
