I have received several criticisms regarding my design for Galago, most of which I believe to be misunderstandings as to what the eventual goals are. Unfortunately, such misunderstandings and criticisms are now leading to duplicated effort, something which really is not needed. First off, Galago does require a daemon running in the background, though it’s [...]

Later, I’ll write bindings for libgalago itself. What’s nice is that this will allow me to prototype much faster. I’m hoping to get someone to [...]

The past two days, I have been hacking on a new Gtk widget that will be included in libgalago-gtk. It’s a nice little subclass of a GtkEntry that includes an embedded icon, as shown below: It has a lot of work to go, but so far it’s rather nice. Avatar development has just begun in [...]

GalagoWatch is a nifty little API for saying, “I want to capture all presence info as it happens,” or “I want to capture all presence info on this service” or “on this account” or “for this user,” etc. The API is theoretically finished, but [...]

It’s a bit hacky, as it polls every 10 seconds for new status, which can make things slower than they should be. However, the GalagoWatch API that’ll be coming in galago soon will deliver new presence and [...]
