Alpha channels and release schedules

GTK+ and semi-transparent windows Mike Hearn wrote a blog entry on writing GTK+ applications that provide semi-transparent Cairo-rendered windows. He suggests a SexyWindow class for libsexy, which actually fits in with some of my plans nicely. More on this… someday. Galago 0.5.0.. Almost Galago 0.5.0 is about to be released. I’ve said this for a [...]

libsexy 0.1.8 released

It didn’t take long, but we found some regressions in the 0.1.7 release. Some C99isms slipped in to libsexy, and the Python bindings broke. These problems have been fixed and a 0.1.8 release has been made. Another bug that has been reported to me is that ever since we moved to dynamically loading libenchant, spell [...]

libsexy 0.1.7 released

I just put out a release of libsexy v0.1.7. It contains a number of fixes to SexySpellEntry, so if you’re doing any work with that or using it in software such as xchat-gnome, you’ll want to upgrade. Full release notes are available. Python and gtkmm bindings are also available at the libsexy site. On a [...]

Relaxing with goombas

Sometimes you just have to take a few days and stop working. I’ve been working too much lately, and I know I have a lot more to work on (new leaftag, Galago, and Notification releases). So tonight was a good opportunity to just not really do anything. Except draw Goombas. I find myself wanting to [...]

Corrupting little ones

My 5 1/2 year old sister Jenna and I talked on the phone this afternoon. We were discussing the Dream Theater concert, some stuff that’s going on in her life, and just general chit-chat. She started talking about how they lit a fire in the fireplace, and I told her how I wish I had [...]

I’m deaf and happy

I just got back from the Dream Theater concert. This tour celebrates both their release of their new album Octavarium and their 20th anniversary. The concert was awesome. They played songs from I believe all of their albums. Several songs from some. They were energetic and enjoying themselves, and so were we. Our seats were [...]

Medals, concerts, and super gates

Olympic Medal A few days ago, an Olympic medal winner, Valerie Fleming, paid us a visit at VMware. It turns out she has family there. Small world. A bunch of us, including Alex Graveley and I, were allowed to wear the medal. We of course took pictures. Many were taken with digital cameras, hence the [...]

Tetringo 0.3.1 for the desktop and Nokia 770 released

I just released version 0.3.1 of Tetringo for the Linux desktop and for the Nokia 770. It’s still only single-player, but it works well and plays wonderfully on the Nokia 770. This is actually the second release of the night, and features an all-new shiny Quit button! And some rendering speed-ups and reduced file size. [...]
