Funny, sed interprets [A-Z] in two ways:

1. on my machines (Ubuntu Warty): [A-Z] == A to Z (only caps)
2. on some others (usually gentoo or lfs, but not all): [A-Z] == A to Z and b to z

Is there a different way to specify "caps" in sed?

As I finished my university project on Friday I don't need my machines in a very reliable status at this time. So I invited Julius yesterday to start a Ubuntu install session. It ended up with three machines being set up.

My installations needed lots of fine tuning afterwards, but I experienced that with every distribution yet.

Now I will continue hacking on criawips and increase its dependencies to GNOME 2.8 stuff as far as I might need some.

hadess: for me it's just the other way round: www.ⓗ.org works for me, the other one doesn't

On the road again...

Wow, our project for the university has it's deadline today (in 13:30 hours) and it still doesn't do anything useful except displaying an absolutely ugly hex area. Lots of random blue and red hex areas some with white circles on them (I think we need lots of good talk about problems issues and SWT to explain why we took so long to produce absolutely nothing). I still hope that we might get the acknowledgement for this course.

Back on track...

Yippie, the mind is free of useless Java-related game development and I can focus on Criawips again. I still think it's possible to rewrite the whole rendering stuff (the DOM <-> GnomeCanvas code) until LWE in Frankfurt. Lars was so kind to create a new presentation design for me which inspired me for a whole feature set for a later version.

I think that (until Sunday evening) the SlideEditor of Criawips (as well as its SlideShow) are going to be able to diplay text as they did before my big code cleanup.

I got an email from the CERT. I still wonder why they contacted me.

Jeff: take mine from planet.gnome-de.org

Today I started to check out why the criawips bug that strider found two days ago. I got at it, hunted it and killed that nasty bug (don't trust one line fixes, they tend to break whole applications).

Later I started to go on clearing my criawips 0.1.0 todo list. My next stop is much refactoring to get the handling of some internal classes more flexible and to reduce the code size by merging two classes. I think this can be done until the weekend (days are for university this week). I'd love to spend the weekend creating my rendering class which is supposed to be used by the SlideEditor (the nice working thing in the main window) and by the SlideShow (the fancy thing that needs to be fixed until LWE in Frankfurt for me to have my GNOME talk there); this one's also supposed to kill huge amounts of duplicated code and to reintroduce a working SlideShow.

Wow, David and I finally got our asses up to start hacking seriously on our little game project for the university. Although today was mostly wasted by getting eclipse installed on shaun (my desktop barebone system) and getting Java 1.4 installed on gromit (Apple Powerbook) which was quite hard until I found Java 1.4 compiled for PPC by IBM (someone should tell them that "pSeries" is not very helpful for non IBM customers).
