I finished porting +the Imlib2 wrapper from +<a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/feh.html">feh</a>, and I cleaned it +up and added a few new calls along the way. Basically, it eliminates +the silly context-based API and converts Imlib2 loading errors to +strings. :) Oh yeah, the EwlImage and EwlImLayer rendering and layout +APIs are complete, along with ewl_widget_render_*(), which means that I +just need to port EwlWindow to the new EwlContainer setup, and things +will start to fall into place. Now would be a good time to check out +the <a href="/projects/ewl/ewl-latest.tar.gz">latest tarball</a> and +give me API suggestions before it's set in 1.0 stone. +<br /><br /> + +I have a new layout for the page functioning -- a lot of you have +already seen it, thanks to the post by +<a href="http://www.darkrock.co.uk/">Boris'</a> to the e-develop +mailing list. A convenient 600% increase in my web traffic for 48 +hours (wow, I didn't know I was so popular :P). It will be up +soon enough -- I just have to find a little bit of free time to finish +the graphics. +<br /><br /> + +Work has been crazy. We're losing our admins (Netware and UNIX), and +management isn't moving particularly fast to replace them. This +means my work load is going to increase dramatically, since Alfred +and Robert are gone until September. Ouch. +<br /><br /> + +The Crumbly Goodness server (at <B>quake.pablotron.org</B> is down) +again, and it could be quite some time before it's back up. The box +is at Alfred's house, and he's in Hong Kong. Fortunately he's using +<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/default.asp">Win2k</a>, +so none of us can administer it remotely, or kill the server +and restart it when it goes nuts. Apparently people have been ICQing +him, letting him know it's down, and he contacts his roommate, who +then restarts the Q3A server, but that's just silly. Real Operating +Systems provide full access to the system via a command line -- it's +the only way to cater to virtually every operating system in existence. +Looks like <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/">Redmond</a> loses 10 +points; <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">Berkley</a> and +<a href="http://www.linux.com/">Helsinki</a> each gain 1000. +<br /><br /> + +I'm about done, but I should mention +<a href="http://www.fuckedcompany.com/">this cool web page</a> (brought +to you courtesy of Siobahn from #e). Also, be the first kid on your +block to get an idiotic email address: details are +<a href="http://www.britneyspearsmail.com/">here</a> and +<a href="http://www.mary-kateandashley.com/">here</a> (thanks to +Filgy and RADKade1). + |
