I also added some +more contact info to the <a href="/feedback">Feedback</a> page. +<br /><br /> + +I committed <a href="/projects">EWL</a> to CVS finally. +<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom Gilbert</a> added the +autoconf/make goodies for me. You can get it from CVS by following +the instructions on the +<a href="http://www.enlightenment.org/cvs.html">Enlightenment CVS +page</a>, and adding "ewl" to the list of modules to check out. See +my <a href="/download">Download page</a> for some Expect scripts +suitable for automatically updating CVS. Right now, EWL can +open a window, pack a button into a box, pack the box into the +window, and attach callbacks to all the widgets. Theming and +event propagation and a slew of other things work correctly, but +rendering is slow and layout is buggy. Unfortunately, I won't have +time to work on EWL until I get back -- from LA! +<br /><br /> + +That's right, I'm headed to Los Angeles for a week. I'm leaving +tomorrow morning, and I'll be back on the 16th. I'll try and find +time to check my email, but I know that my sister's internet access +is probably <a href="/gallery/fast_modem.jpeg">pretty limited</a>. +<br /><br /> + +I don't have a Linux Advocasy page up just yet, but I was going to +put it right underneath the Uptimes list (on the left sidebar). +Fortunately for me, a power outage completely destroyed the uptimes +for my web server and my work machine. The previous uptimes were +48 days, 73 days, and 37 days (home, web, and work, respectively). +The Advocasy page will still go up eventually, but I was hoping to +have a >100 day uptime to entice people. Oh well. +<br /><br /> + +I finally got around to installing +<a href="http://galeon.sourceforge.net/">Galeon</a>, a +GNOME browser that uses the Gecko (eg Mozilla) rendering engine, but +doesn't have all the cruft (eg XUL, news and mail readers, etc etc). +Wow! It's dependencies are a bit heavy +(<a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla</a> M16 or later -- I'm +using the latest nightly build) and +<a href="http://www.helixcode.com">Helix GNOME</a>, but Galeon +itself is small (both memory and disk space wise) and much faster +than Mozilla. +<br /><br /> + +Finally, I guess <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom</a> is +telling the rest of the world about his new Linux programming job: +Not only is he going to be coding for $$ now, but he's also getting +a laptop and moving to London. Good work dude :). Okay, I'll see +everyone in a week. + |
