unlike the beagle 2 space probe, this won’t crash

21 December 2005

Beagle 0.1.4 is out. Lots and lots of bugs were fixed in this release, especially those of you who use libbeagle, so go out an grab it. Note that it doesn’t build out of the box on Mono 1.1.12. You need to patch it to work around an API incompatibility that slipped [...]

cotton, to oil, to tires!

19 December 2005

Phil gives a flowery review of the entertaining things that keep him up at night. I briefly played Railroad Tycoon, dubbed the “train game” by Jacob, but never really got into it. Like Phil, I had a hard time deducing the economic influences. I have corn, they want it; they have oil, [...]

the reign of terror has begun

16 December 2005

Jon is headed to Google. This is obviously bittersweet: I’m happy for Jon, and he’s going to kick ass at Google in their open source group, but I’m also sad because he’s one of my absolute favorite people to work with in the world. He and I have worked closely together for the [...]

rated pg-13 for gratuitous panning over suggestive body parts

13 December 2005

Jacob and I just got back from seeing Æon Flux. It is… not a good movie. The story didn’t really flesh out until about the 1 hour mark, and it’s only a 90 minute movie. But ostensibly the reason to go see the movie was because of Charlize Theron, whom Jacob fell [...]

fetching your paper, without all the slobber

12 December 2005

The Nautilus search work, which Alex has been working on and which features Beagle, has just landed onto HEAD and will be in the GNOME 2.14 release. For those of you without the companionship of man’s best friend, there is also a fallback simple search so, no, GNOME doesn’t depend on Mono now. [...]

it’s always in the last place you look

7 December 2005

Alex, with his infinite Nautilus knowledge, has picked up where Anders and I left off in the Nautilus search (aka — and I do not call it this — beagilus) domain and is nearly ready to land it in HEAD. Screenshots abound.

this is not something we covered in seventh grade ethics class

5 December 2005

Beagle 0.1.3 is out. It’s mostly a bug fix release, with the exception of the kick ass new python bindings. Here is a neat little example script which runs a search and prints the results.
Lately, there have been a lot of articles in various places about the recent face transplant that took place [...]

ftso cingular

2 December 2005

Christian: I am totally with you there. I had a similar experience (and followup) with AT&T Wireless (now a part of Cingular) about 2 years ago. Basically, I filed suit against them in small claims court for unfair business practices in Massachusetts and they relented. Since then I’ve made it my mission [...]
