Using Webkit/GTK+ in Mac OS X

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

Neulich im Internet…

in

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.

Approaching the nineth circle of hell

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,

UMTS, T-Mobile und das Lenovo Thinkpad X60s

Thomas wollte, dass ich nochmal was zum Thema UMTS blogge, damit er dann meine Erkenntnisse nurnoch umsetzen muss. Seit ich mit der Spielerei angefangen habe, hat sich in der Linux-Welt auch schon wieder einiges getan: das eingebaute UMTS-Modem muss mittlerweile nicht mehr über das Modul usbserial angesteuert werden, sondern kann jetzt durch das Modul sierra betrieben werden, das dann bei den meisten Distributionen auch automatisch geladen wird.

Update

Carlos is collecting use cases and feature requests for a GtkCanvas. Make sure you're getting into this thread to make sure the GtkCanvas will really rock.

In the mean time I have been refactoring some parts of libccc. Right now I'm adding lots of test cases to make sure that the canvas behaves exactly as expected. You can check out my current master by using: git clone http://www.blaubeermuffin.de/ccc.git

I have been adding many nice things to the canvas during the last weeks. I'm currently focusing on resolution independence for the canvas, some nice API for view-specific data in items (this is almost done, needs some fixing though) and - of course - printing.

CeBIT 2007

I'm leaving to Hamburg today to spend the next week at Hanover. Linux New Media was so kind to offer a booth to the German GNOME community. Josh will also be there the whole time, MacSlow and maybe others will join us for the weekend.

Lets giggle together

So, it's been almost a week since we released Giggle. We've been happily receiving lots of love in the form of emails, bug reports, suggestions, patches and even debian packages. Now we think it's time to share some love with you, so let's giggle together.

Doing so is pretty easy: you can subscribe to the giggle mailing list or join the Jabber chat room giggle on conference.imendio.com.

StudiVZ

Habe ich bisherigen Anfragen aus meinem Umfeld »Warum bist du nicht beim StudiVZ dabei?« immer nur antworten können, dass ich nicht sehe, was mir diese Anmeldung bringen sollte, hat mir der Blog-Eintrag von Tim doch endlich mal ein paar triftige Gründe liefern können:

Also von nun an gilt also folgendes: keine Daten an Datensammler (was ja ohnehin schon galt), die ihr System nicht auf die Reihe kriegen und nebenbei versuchen ihr angeschlagenes Image durch ein paar Lügen aufzubessern.

Auch bei Heise gibt's da eine hübsche Übersicht über das ach-so-tolle StudiVZ.
