Urgh, then I got ill once again. :/ The timing isn't really perfect.

I turned in a project today, and now I have less than a week to finish the next...this seems rather impossible, but lets see what happens. The worse part of it is that I have to write an approx. 40 pages report, and this is not really where I am having my strength. I am taking the day off in the hope that I will be back on my feets tomorrow.

Didn't get to code so much on opensource projects lately, but if everything works out I should have "lots" of time for coding in mid January and hopefully I will have a lot of energy aswell :) This is very important as I have to help out with preparing the 1.0 release of GnomeMeeting, and there is still a lot to do.

Spend most of the day (and some of yesterday) hacking on an Audio CD view for Rhythmbox. It seems to be coming along pretty well; it reads the disc data with musicbrainz (in a thread of course) and updates the nodes nicely. It also stores your ratings for the CD tracks, and it should be possible to share the rating files (stores as XML) with your friends if you like to do that.

Though, after upgrading my gstreamer to 0.4.2 it doesn't switch tracks anymore. This seems to be an issue in Gstreamer which I hope will be solves soon.

The code is not in CVS yet, since we want to do a release of RB first.

If you want to see a shot here is one. Enjoy it.

Tomorrow I won't have time to hack on it though; tons of homework to be done, and tons of graphics functions to be implimented for my upcoming project.

Wow, long time since I wrote anything here. Well ofcourse a lot af stuff happened since.

I am currently very busy with school and mostly very tired when I get home :(. I am currently contribute a bit to GnomeMeeting and Rhythmbox, but I really hope my contributions will increate in the future.

Intltool seems to work very well these days, but it still lacks good documentation. It also has some bugs which are pretty hard to fix for me :/

Anyway, it seems my next project will be to finish adding audio-cd playback to Rhythmbox - the view is still missing.

Hi again. Here I am, busy as always, maybe actually a lot more, since of university projects et al. Well, what has happened on my front? Since last diary, I have started making a xml2pot converter, which should make it possible to get the XML files used by Gnumeric translated ;)

Things are looking good, and the script will probably be finished tomorrow or so, AFTER all my homework - gosh, I never thought that math could be soo boring ;/

...anyway, off I go...

Puh, it has been a long time since I wrote here...well, since then I have started studying again. The last two weeks have been quite hectic, since I need to figure out which classes I have, and when, and where to get info about assigments, etc. Today I handed in my first math project this yeah, but as far as I know by now, it will not mean that I have a lot of sparetime, since especially the math course really seem to be a killer course..well people told me that on forehand, but I need it for my physics. Today was quite exorsting, since I went up at around 6, then went to school and stayed there until 18:00 when I had to bike home again..yikes, and I had absolutely no time on my own the whole day, not even a lunchbreak...all free time went on walking from one institute to another.

Well there is something good about the study anyway, and that is that the SML course is quite easy until now...luckely I will only have to go through these three SML books, and then I can switch to Java, which is far more interesting to work with ;)

Also the mosml SML interpretor is quite stupid, but luckely I got emacs up and running with full SML support a couple of days ago, so now it's a lot nicer...;)

Puh, just got home for a small weeks trip to the island Fanø. This was a very exorsting week, and I know that tomorrow at DIKU will be even more tirering..yikes!!!

I'm starting learning Standard ML now, so today I will see if I can find a nice rpm, which includes what I need. Apart from that I just need to clean up...well I said "just". Actually it isn't "just", since it will take the whole day...there is really a lot to do.

And I really need to sleep now..but my wash is not finished yet...that sucks!

Also it sucks that everytime I try to talk to eskil on irc, he seems to be away...then I cannot overflow him with the errors I found in his eazel rpms.

Pre-limitary dates for GUADEC are now ready...it's the 6-8 of April, 2001.

On the way to bed...
Well it is soon good night time, since I have to start at the uni tomorrow again, so I thought I better write here before saying godnat to my neightbours. Well today I didn't do very much. Well I made a script for making strings in XML files translatable, while I was at Kim's. There are still some problems, which I discussed with Chema, but I didn't really do much for finding a solution - I feel so tired and without inspiration today. Kim also looked at it, but he also quickly gave up. Laziness seems to overcome people on sundays.

- just got a nice letter from my girlfriend...that really cheered me up ;)

Misc stuff
Well, what have I been doing today...well actually not so much yet, since I was very tired yesterday. Even though I planned a little of the GUADEC 2001 conference, so soon we will be able to announce a date. Yesterday I started programming a script for generating PO template files from a XML source. I'm not totally finished yet, but well I guess I will be today. Apart I didn't do much more than figuring out a good way to find the overlapped area of two retancles for almer, so he can get the gnumeric autoformatter working soon ;) I really look forward seeing his work.

Hacking
As I hadn' t hacked for quite some time, I took I look at my and Kim's console scripts for Nautilus. The Trasher script now does almost what I want it to, without requiring special modules from CPAN. That is a good thing I think.

Being back is weird. It's really empty here without my girlfriend. It feels like everything I do here, doesn't really matter. Well, I just need to get the money and the time to visit her soon again. I really have to. Btw, If someone wanted to take a look at the Trasher script, please then do so. It's located at:

Life
Today I am going to do all the paperwork that I have to do before starting at the university monday. Yikes, I really do not want to do this. Later my idea is to take a look at the Gnome translations, and make sure that we get infront once again.
