And now the actual post about my day. Because this is one of those journal things. Yes.
Rio finished first grade today, and got a fantastic report card. I'm very proud of her!Today was a day of refactoring. I refactored one and a half Perl modules and fixed a rather broken test. I probably need to finish off some work during the weekend to make sure nobody causes any conflicts in the file I didn't finish, because the reconciliations would be painful.
On the train home, I fixed bug 121639, which simply means that you'll be able not to have minimise/maximise/close buttons on unfocussed windows if you don't want them. There's not much more to do on metacity-theme-2, which I'm pretty excited about.
Sharon had to work late, since today's the last day of her current assignment, so I caught the bus home. Fin met me at my stop; Rio was away with Plexq, so it was just the two of us, and we went and ate Chinese food together. Then we went upstairs and took advantage of being on our own. :)
I discovered jhautobuild through nud's post, and am playing with it. It's a wonderful idea.
I should get myself a hackergotchi, I suppose. Fin made this one earlier,
gossip is still ranking as one of my favourite GNOME applications. I was thinking about whether it would be easy to extend it with other protocols, and it occured to me that the way to do this might be to have a standard way to send IM information over dbus. Then you could write a daemon in Perl or whatever that actually talked to AIM, and take advantage of the code that already exists in CPAN. Or something. This was a before-coffee-in-the-morning thought, so don't take it too seriously.
In case anyone didn't realise and finds this useful, you can reply to posts on planet by clicking the grey timestamp in the bottom right-hand corner of any post. Try it now and say hi, go on. :)
I am wondering, if there's a Utah Open Source Planet, why there isn't (say) a Philly one. Would anyone else like to be on it if I made it?
