Galago – Finally some progress!

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 10, 2004

After four days of hacking, Galago now provides enough structure for a program to act as a feed for presence information, and for others to request that information. This includes information on a user’s service, the status(es), away message, etc. There’s currently only one method for requesting presence. It blocks until it receives a response, [...]

Best Bugs

4 Comments Posted by on January 8, 2004

I was having a chat with my brother earlier about software bugs, and I started trying to remember about the best bugs I’ve encountered in software I’ve had a hand in. Below are my list of favorite bugs that I found entertaining. I’m kind of curious as to what other people would choose for their [...]

Galago Presence, Gaim Status

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 7, 2004

So far, the Galago framework is coming together rather well. I don’t have anything that runs and communicates yet, but a lot of the base framework has come together, and I expect to build test programs by next week (assuming all the other busy things in my life don’t take up too much time). At [...]

The Future of the Linux Desktop?, Part I

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 6, 2004

It seems there are a lot of interesting things being developed lately. I’ve been reading about GNOME Storage, which is a really cool concept. I haven’t played with it yet, or looked into the code, but I think that if done right, it can really add to the desktop experience. Perhaps it could be used [...]

Galago Notes

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 5, 2004

Just before I go to bed, I figure I’ll jot down some notes regarding Galago, as I’m sure I’ll forget a couple of them in the morning. The storage of the data is going to be in a graph. I think this is fairly obvious. Using this, we can better fine-tune how specific one thing [...]

Shiny New Battery Back-Up

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 4, 2004

For Christmas, my parents gave me a CyberPower Battery Back-Up system. It’s a 410 watt unit, claiming to last 25-50 minutes. I really only need 5-10, since these systems are only off when the power flickers or PG&E screws up somehow. So today I finally installed it, as my main desktop locked up. I figured [...]

Food For Geeks

Comments Off Posted by on January 4, 2004

I’ve been discussing a small site I plan to setup with some people. The site is called Food for Geeks, and is essentially a food donation system for Linux hackers. It works like other monetary donation systems, but instead of specifying an amount to send the person, you’re presented with their favorite foods. You don’t [...]

Galago

3 Comments Posted by on January 3, 2004

I’ve been developing a draft of a system I call Galago, which will be used for associative information gathering (based on ideas from Nat Friedman’s Dashboard) and user presence information. I discussed this briefly on Advogato. This is not all fledged out yet, but the current concept uses D-BUS and XML packets for communication. Every [...]

Come on and get your log. Everyone wants a log.

I finally decided to try a pre-made solution for weblogs on this system, instead of worrying about writing my own. So far, Movable Type seems nice. I may stick with it, and if I do, I’m moving my Advogato blog here.
