I added numeric formatting to Glom, so you can have currency symbols, fixed decimal places, and avoid thousands separators. For the list of currency symbols, Glom now depends on iso-codes, which provides the symbols and names, and gettext() translations for them. There are country and language names too. This also reminded me how unpleasantly obscure [...]

I've mostly dealt with another big to-do item for Glom. I added Users/Group administration, with per-table access rights for each group of users. The changes touch most of the code, so that all parts of the UI just do the right thing, so I'm sure that I've introduced several bugs. After all this work, I [...]

I implemented another important feature in Glom – related fields, which allow you to see, and edit, a field in a related table. And the related record for the related field can be created automatically when you enter data into the related field. This should be very familiar to FileMaker users. So what's next? Maybe [...]

And I'm starting to make the layout design a little more usable, though it needs a full Glade-like UI. I made some updated screenshots with explanations. Hacking on Glom is fun, and the code [...]

We will have a little GNOME 2.10 get together in Munich tomorrow, at about 21:00 in Cafe Puck's on Türkenstrasse. All are welcome, though only a handful are expected. Here's a list of other GNOME 2.10 parties. Add your own.

For the last week or so, I've been herding the GNOME 2.10 release notes together, with much help from Davyd Madeley. The wiki was a really good way to get the initial information. As before, we use docbook for the actual text, and that lets us use Danilo Segan's xml2po magic to translate them just [...]

I thought I was immune, but the 'flu got me too, knocking me out over the weekend and a bit extra. I seem to be OK now though. This morning I had the first stage of having a crown put on one of my teeth, after it broke a few weeks ago. That wasn't fun [...]
