So, let's see if this works out properly…

Matthias Warkus hat es endlich geschafft; die Neuauflage des hübschen orang

I finally found the time on Monday and Tuesday to set up Drupal for the new Monkey Bubble website. After migrating most of the content, we added forwards from the old page to the new one (thanks, Jeff, for adding our news feed to Planet GNOME News).

Unfortunately, there's still one part lacking on the new website: it's using the default drupal theme. So if someone could pick up the old monkey-bubble theme and provide a version for Drupal 5.x, that would really rock.

In the mean time, really nice things are going on in Monkey Land. In January I merged the maemo-port of Monkey Bubble into upstream (thanks Jouni, for providing the port). These days are spent refactoring the audio engine to finally start working properly (that means: audio + sound effects - hick-coughs - memory leaks).

The last preparations have been done for the GNOME presentation on CeBIT. There will be a GNOME booth in Hall 5 (F47/2) and a talk about security in GNOME on Saturday evening.

Important: I just got the exhibitor tickets and in contrast to the previous years we got 4, not 2. So there are still 2 exhibitor tickets if you like to visit CeBIT to support your desktop environment and development platform. Feel free to contact me. More information (German) can be found on the German wiki.

Right now, Mirco and I will staff the booth. We're going to have the event box, lots of posters, demo computers, and some devices based on GNOME technology. Feel free to join…

or: prepare-ChangeLog.pl - now git-flavored

So, today I got fed up by our prepare-ChangeLog.pl to not support git at all. Fernando the Brave added support for Subversion 3.5 years ago, and now I decided to add support for git.

Chatting with Fernando and Olav we decided to move the script from web-devel-2 into the releng module and then I committed my changes on top. So, now the script is saved from Nirvana (which web-devel-2 will hopefully end up, soon) and is located next to Martyn's maintainer.py.

Webkit/GTK+ is a really nice thing already. It still has it's rough edges, but it already works really nicely.

Joomla! oder: die Quadratur der GPL, oder: warum ich seit geraumer Zeit keinen GPL-Code mehr schreibe. Mit der LGPL wäre das nicht passiert und LGPL-Code lässt sich beliebig von einer Anwendung in eine LGPL-Bibliothek migrieren, ohne dass man den Cruft von alten Contributors ausräumen muss…

Also nochmal: Leute, denkt nach bevor ihr euch eure Lizenz aussucht.

Dear Lazyweb,

today I had a problem debugging a GTK+ module (libatk-bridge.so). It threw a warning which looked like it was coming from my application:

** (criawips:26563): WARNING **: failure: no device event controller found.

By using grep I realized pretty quickly that the message didn't come from my application. The gdb was at least able to tell me where the meesage came from (after breaking on g_log):

(gdb) bt
#0 IA__g_log (log_domain=0x0, log_level=G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING,
