Older blog entries for chicane (starting at number 3)

Damn, its been ages since I took the time to cruise over here to advogato and bust out something on my activity log...then again, I haven't been doing a ton of hacking lately either...the hazards of women interfearing with the important stuff. Anyway, yesterday I got pissed off at all of the shitty playlist editors, so now I am writing my own...hopefully I can get some credit for this shit from one of my teachers so I can justify spending a couple weeks hacking on it.

Not much in the way of news on Glimmer lately...I hacked a new feature last week, but it was pretty minor...just a little column delete action that was looking to be useful at the time.

That's all for now, but I promise that I will be better about updating this now.

Today was more productive than many days in the past 2 weeks. I've been doing a lot of work on my family's Airstream motorhome, and have been neglecting LATTE quite a bit...
Anyway, I was reading my mail this morning and got the 7th request for a way to set the highlighting style explicitly (menu style), so I decided it was high time to do it. And so it is that the editor known as LATTE now has the final feature that has been requested by a *sane* user. I'm thinking that 1.0 is going to be coming out sometime next week.

Back from vacation (2 weeks in the middle of nowhere) and hacking on CodeCommander again. Things went well today...I went through all of the dialogs and window-widgets and fixed the button sizes and added default buttons and such. I also added the standard GNOME pixmaps to many of the dialogs. All in all, not a bad first day back IMHO.
On vacation I started working on a new framework for what I hope will eventually be the ultimate GNOME IDE...currently I'm just calling it GNOME Commander, and it's something like a way of embedding lots of different IDE related components in a single GUI via Bonobo, and a new flexible container widget similar in apperance to what is used in VC++ and Borland (all the nice dragable windows and such)

Hacked on CodeCommander today. Added Drag 'n Drop support for opening all kinds of files. Fixed up middle-click pasting in GtkExText...Its a nasty hack, but it works. Removed a bug-causing line in the spec file. Added [Enter] keybinding to the selection_entry of gnomefilelist widget (by request). Fixed some small bugs with the history navigation of gnomefilelist.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
