Not much blogging this week as I have been so busy. We have also been up to visit my parents and introduce them to Banger. This week I also started hacking on an audio blogging tool that uses GStreamer: In the next issue of Linux User and Developer I wrote the cover...

GStreamer fun

Today I finished off an initial implementation of the render box patch for Pitivi and then mailed it to Edward. There are still some bugs and issues with it, but Edward is being gracious enough to look over things as I learn all of this new technology. I am...

More Pitivi

Did a bit of hacking this weekend on Pitivi. I first submitted a patch that makes Pitivi start maximised, and then then I started work on re-engineering the render box. Much of it works at the moment, and here is the interface so far (not HIGified yet): And the other...

Stuff and nonsense

Firstly, condolences to Aq and his family about the loss of Bert. He was a rarity in the cat world – a cool cat. I normally don’t like the arrogant vermin, but Bert was truly an exception to the rule. My new snazzy drum kit arrived today and it is awesome....

Things and more things

Wow, some awesome stuff going on today. Firstly, prompted by this thread on PHPWM, I delved into Eclipse some more today with the help of Elliot. Wow, what a great IDE. The PHP plug-in for Eclipse is kind of deceiving and much of its functionality tends to remain...
