Look ma, I’m growing up and everything!

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

My new furniture came today! The guys moving it into my apartment were not at all happy, due to these being very heavy and the fact that I live on the second floor. Ah well. That’s their job.
So I have a new entertainment center (actually, I’ve had that for a few weeks now), a reclining [...]

SexySpellEntry

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

libsexy just got sexier. David Trowbridge (of Fyre, xchat-gnome and BZFlag fame) wrote a cool GtkEntry subclass that provides inline spell-checking. It works just like GtkTextView with GtkSpell. True to the name of the library it resides in, SexySpellEntry is very sexy.

Stargate SG-1 Season Premier

Friday, July 15th, 2005

Wow. The Stargate SG-1 season premier was on. It was… wow.. that was bad. I think I’m just going to sit in a corner and sob lightly for a while. I don’t think it could have been worse if they tried. They destroyed SG-1. Hopefully some good effort will be put on Atlantis. I guess [...]

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

I just put out a release of libsexy and the new GTKMM bindings, libsexymm (pronounced “libsexy, mmmmmmmmm”). The files will probably move at some point, but for now, they’re available here.

Beagle with Galago support

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

The release of Beagle 0.0.12 rocks. Among the many reasons is support for Galago, provided by Lukas Lipka. This just kicks ass. Simple, informative, useful integration that doesn’t get in your way. Now if some other IM clients will step up and provide at least optional support for Galago, non-Gaim users will be able to [...]

Headline: “Victim Dead In Apparent Caltrain Suicide”

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

As we were getting ready in the morning for a day of furniture shopping, Jamie noticed that the train across the street came to a hault. Not long after, I heard sirens and looked outside the window to see some ambulances and fire trucks rush by. I noticed that the sirens stopped as they got [...]

Be afraid, be very afraid

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005

There’s so much fear lately. This isn’t really new, but I’ve been hit by it twice in the past few days. The problem is that with fear comes distrust, and with distrust comes mistreatment.
During a very fun vacation at Disneyland (which I shall blog about later), my girlfriend lost her wallet, which contained her ID. [...]
