More Kopete Webcam Love and Yahoo! patches!
First up, Michael Cole came in with some fixes earlier in the week on the Yahoo! protocol side for being able to better use webcams. Now Frank Schaefer has come through with the some fixes on the low level side of the webcam stuff. Frank's patches fix a number of issues, including:
- loading and saving of the video settings
- device registering, unregistering, and switching
- some problems with the GUI (bug# 188177)
Not one to lag behind, Michael also came through with some other fixes to Kopete's Yahoo! support, so from those we've got fixes for:
- Downloading avatars when a person comes online while you were online.
- Email notifications (you now get an unread count when there's more than one, and a notification with a subject when you receieve a single email while online)
- Webcam announcements are now sent to the other user, meaning that they'll get a notice saying that you are sharing your webcam with them.
- A login fix that allows people to see the notice that they typed their password wrong or are locked out.
Both the webcam and Yahoo! patches are in 4.4 and trunk (or will be shortly). Awesome work guys! Keep those patches coming in!
Patch Friday – 10/09/2009
I got patch friday done this week. I committed some header cleanups and a user-submitted patch to fix unsetting your Jabber mood. The jabber mood fix will be in KDE 4.3.3. The last two patch fridays before this one have been a wash. The first was because I was traveling over the weekend, and the next because my daugther was sick (but is better now).
I haven't checked reviewboard or bugs.kde.org in awhile for patches that are ready, so if you have one that you think is ready (especially if you're the patch author) then feel free to email me a link to the bug or reviewboard post.

boot camp this morning. worked a lot of the little muscles.
got a recent kde bugzilla snapshot imported into the BZ 3.4 sandbox. Will need to end up redoing it in order to make sure that I can do the data conversion properly. Also need to do the one for the 3.2 install.
Had to retie one of the tree's down this evening after dinner before the storms hit. That tree needs to hurry up and be 2 years old so we can remove the supports and let it stand on it's own.
Got all the virtual hosts set up for my bugzilla sandboxes, merged in the latest basket master from kelvie, and pushed some more changes to gitorious for the ssh tunneller applet i'm working on. All in all, a very productive today. Hopefully tomorrow is too!

up before 7. breakfast, playing, shower, then off to best buy. C. got a new case for her Pre and I picked up a copy of Snow Leopard with a $25 gift card I won at work.
Lunch, then slugging away at the rest of the edging that didn't get done yesterday. Finished the edging, the rest of the make-it-look-really-pretty work will come next weekend I think.
Weekly review tonight after S went to bed. Lots of small tasks added, and head mostly emptied. Lost steam about 10:45 when I couldn't think anymore, so I hit the sack.

slept in a bit. off to Lowe's in the morning to get supplies for the front edging that we're redoing. took one of the cars to get inspected during S.'s naptime.
Managed to get the last remaining bits of a feature done for Kopete. Need to play with it about a week before I get it committed though, since it's a rather fundamental change.
C and S both running mild fevers this evening. Probably caught something at a playgroup. Hopefully they get better soon and I don't catch it.

up and out the door at the normal time. work was largely uneventful and only semi-productive due to my lack of focus.
got home and poked again at getting rawhide to work on the laptop. decided in the end to say "screw it" and started a backup before going to bed.

Got a good run in this morning since there was no boot camp.
Reviewed a nice patch adding contact images to the chat members list of the chat window. Should go in once it's cleaned up a bit more.
Rebooted my laptop, which turned out to be a big mistake as I hit some 100% X usage bug with the intel driver. Rebooting into an older kernel seemed to fix it. Spent most of the evening poking at that, so nothing else productive got done.

drive to work was painful today. Combine leaving the house 5 minutes late with the extra traffic that exists thanks to school being back and session and you get stop and go traffic on the tollway.
updated my local copy of the qt git repository so i can play with some of the new stuff in Qt 4.6 now that the Tech Preview has been released. One of the new things that I want to try is the DOM api that's now available with QtWebKit. I'll probably port Kopete to that in order to have one to one compatibility with the Adium themes.
Poked at various bits after S went to bed. Tried fixing some Kopete MSN crash bugs, but of course, couldn't reproduce any of them. 
Also ended up poking at KDevelop since the git support wouldn't let me switch to a different branch from the UI.

Happy Birthday to my brother, who turned 25 today!
boot camp this morning was hard. lots of heavy weights meant my muscles were tired but I don't think I'll be sore later today or tomorrow because of it.
got the gnome bugzilla bits checked out from bzr, no thanks to the network at work. hopefully some of this will come in useful as KDE upgrades it's bugzilla to KDE 3.4.
lots of work done on the bug editing template for the kde bugzilla upgrade. that's coming along nicely and the new layout as a whole is coming together quite well.

Had to get up a little earlier today (6:45am). Dilbert comic today was rather disappointing in terms of quality funniness. Can't be good all the time I suppose.
More time with the family today. Lunch at Chili's with the in-laws. It was the first time out to a restaurant for S. since she was 2 weeks old.
Naptime, shortened some blinds we'd bought and hung up earlier in the weekend, then hit the SimTower pretty hard.
Dinner over at the in-laws again. Brother in law leaves later in the week. Bedtime for S., more SimTower for me in addition to some laptop window shopping
