Alternatively, I think anybody should feel free to gather ideas together themselves rather than leave everything up to the beaurocrats. For instance, the various planning documents from Havoc and Miguel in the past were useful. People just need to make it clear that they are not promises and that they are not the opinion of […]

kristian's new TreeModel-based ComboBox is really nifty. I managed to generalize the TreeView template stuff so that people can easily add model columns to a ComboBox and get just-works defaults, just like they do with the TreeView.
The UIManager+Actions things looks good to. It's very similar to the old gtkmm API for menu/toolbar creation, though that […]

gtkmm gets the time-based release religion.
WIFI
The world is getting a clue. The Lentos museum hotspot in Linz is perfect but cold, and Cafe Puck in München's Schwabing now has fantastic free WLAN, despite a web site of purest arse.
Filums
Kill Bill isn't as bad as the trailer, but it is powerfully dull. Herr Lehmann, on the […]

I'm really impressed by the wonderfully pragmatic decisions and cleanly implemented changes in Nautilus recently. I really like how it's quietly becoming exactly what I want, and of course what I want is best. Stuff like spatial Nautilus, views for users instead of developers, and the Desktop directory. campd and alex are the new Havocs […]

GNOME 5th Toe 2.4.0 is out. 3 of the apps use gtkmm, which is nice.

I've wrapped lots of new GTK+ 2.4 API for gtkmm. The new widgets should be crowd pleasers. I don't know of any other list of new GTK+ API, but grepping for "since 2.4" works well, because the new stuff is strictly documented from the start.
I've just done the simple stuff now, the stuff that doesn't […]

list madness
Somebody's bizarre server setup flooded the gtkmm list with hundreds of repeat emails, with everybody blaming everybody else. Luckily we didnt lose too many subscribers - about 500 now.

Yes, I know, it's silly that it took this long. Every now and then over the years I have tried to install debian, without success, particularly on my laptop. But I finally managed it using knoppix's hard-disk install.
Knoppix is a bizarre parody of a distro and a UI nightmare - a linux demo that is […]

People like releases. I got tired of waiting for a glib 2.3.0 release, so I released a glibmm 2.3.0 that depends on glib 2.2, so that I can get the code out there. The same day, we got a new contributor (J. Abelardo Gutierrez) who asked how he could help and had a patch to […]
