Depression and hopelessness are things that are within itself, one can be happy in the tinniest place of earth if one makes the effort. I've been in enough places to know how to handle that.

No, it's a GNOME 3 cursor.

That would be great, but I think I will let others follow the data mining experiments :-)

Nope, just Gtk+

GTK+ Healthcheck

A while ago I had a discussion with Benjamin on IRC about the health of the GTK+ project, he seems pretty pessimistic about the state of GNOME in general and GTK+ in particular, and I showed my disagreement. Now don't... Continue reading

Travis, I agree 100% and that is the very reason I am organizing this hackfest. To turn those goals into actual work items, you are welcome to attend if you think you can help!

@Alex: I focus on whatever I want to focus, I'm not GNOME, I'm myself and I choose how I want to contribute. If you think that work is needed in other areas, feel free to work on solutions for those problems.

@Bejamin: It is indeed! I will probably have news about this soon. @Flo: Libgee is very nice indeed, though it wouldn't be enough to replace GtkTreeModel. I'm currently working on some improvements on libmodel and hopefully coming up with widgets to have a much better story wrt MVC and online apps.

Why can't we be friends?

During GUADEC, I took the time to do a little exercise. Most times, I don't really pay any attention to trolls, let alone doing something to convince them that they are wrong. However, in the recent years there has been... Continue reading

It is, but then we would be creating bindings from an un-gir, undocumented API. With the GObject wrappers we have the gtk-docs as a reference.
