<p>For the first half of next week, I'll be in N&uuml;rnberg with a real internet connection. So it'll be patch-applying time. Try not to miss the window of opportunity. I'll try to get gtkmm 2.4 even more ready for a 2.3.0 release, but it doesn't look like we are going to get a GTK+ 2.3.0 soon. Personally I think it's a mistake not to release early, release often.

This jhbuild gui thing from nullity (Seth) looks like fun. I look forward to trying it.

<strong>libxml++</strong>

Wednesday, September 24th, 2003

We released a new version, finally with namespace support thanks to Dan Dennedy. libxml++ is is a real pleasure to work on because it has a limited scope and clear aims. People seem to like it. As far as I can tell it's as standards-compliant and useful as Xerces-C++ without being so horribly complex. Of […]

<p><a href="http://www.advogato.org/person/pfremy/">pfremy</a>, that is complete arse. The vast majority of this <a href="http://www.gtk.org/bindings.html">vast list of bindings</a> are for the latest GTK+ API. GTK+ is designed for wrapping. It's not just another C library - it's GTK+. That article is old, and it's by paying attention to that kind of thing that GTK+ is so easy to wrap today. I love C++. I know GTK+. I know what I'm talking about.

<p>GNOME 2.4 was <a href="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.4/">released</a> while I was on holiday. It was nice to miss the stress and just read the reviews when I got back. People seem pleased but unsurprised, and that's how it should be.

I don't understand any of that Ars Technica “spatial finder” article, and it's not the first time I've tried to read it. I suspect that it's badly written, and I hope that it's just about opening folders in their own windows and not having back/forward buttons. If so, it'll be more like classic MacOS and […]

<p>I'm back from walking around the <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/02_dachstein.jpg">Dachstein range</a>. I couldn't do the whole 8 days as planned because the first heavy snow of the season blocked the route. The weather <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/05_sudwandhutte_godlight.jpg">started</a> <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/19_gabzloner_godlight.jpg">sunny</a>, and became pleasantly scots-like, which I <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/22_murray.jpg">enjoyed</a>, but the mountain <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/13_steiglpass1.jpg">pass</a> that was <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/10_steiglpass_grim.jpg">unpleasant</a> one day, became <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/23_steiglpass_snow.jpg">impossible</a> a couple of days later. So I walked down to the <a href="http://www.murrayc.com/murray/photos/2003/dachstein/24_wet_from_hopfpuergl.jpg">rain</a> in the valley.

Along the way, I found my first BookCrossing book at the Gablonzerhütte.

Yesterday I left my perfect little Häuschen and I'll be in a Pension when I get back to Linz. I'm in Nuernberg all this week, then I plan to walk around the alps for a week or so - Probably the Dachstein, and probably nothing too serious because the weather is becoming dangerous.

BookCrossing

I find bookcrossing […]
