In my quest to understand the world around me, I have discovered that dogs like to eat fingers. The pooch that lives in our gaff demonstrated this desire for digits last night. To be fair, he was gnawing on the wooden chair I was sat on as Sooz and I had our dinner. I...

Went to Bedford yesterday for Susan’s sister’s 21st birthday. This involved drinking lots of beer, eating a stack of Mexican food and resultantly peeing like a horse at 3am in a hazy state. On the way down and back I hacked some more on my website. One of...

Great to see that some hacking on Gazpacho is going on. A few weeks back I was working to create some mock-ups of interface concepts for PiTiVi and a few other things. I tried both Glade and Gazpacho and I found both pretty difficult to use. They are certainly useful...

Been a hectic week this week as usual, and I am not entirely convinced I am recovered from What The Hack. I have been feeling pretty tired all week. Finally got GStreamer 0.9 compiled. After getting the base system up and running I attempted to compile gst-python but...

Spent the last four days in a tent over at What The Hack in Holland. Had an awesome time, drunk a shitload of beer and got to hang out with a great bunch of chaps. Thanks must go Aq, Adam, Bill, Gudge, Matt and Graham for an awesome weekend. The trip basically...

Headed to OpenTech in London on Saturday with Sooz, and met up with Aq there. After spending an extortionate amount of money on travel (train, cabs) and eating the most hideous bacon sandwich ever constructed, we finally made it into the event. It was good to finally...
