making things suck less

I’ve just imported the new MSN plugin (now called WLM for Windows Live Messenger) into trunk for KDE 4.2. This new plugin provides support for MSNP15 and in general lays the groundwork for way more stuff to be added to Kopete’s MSN plugin. The new plugin uses a library called libmsn which you can get [...]

Went to see Hancock today. Enjoyable movie. The Dark Knight is up next. Tons of people waiting in line for the next showing (1.5 hours from when we got to the theater). Completely crazy. I want to see it, but I’ll wait until the theaters are a bit more empty.
Completely skipped out on [...]

The first Kopete bugday was a great success. We managed to reduce the number of open Kopete bugs by 68, confirm a few more, and have some fun doing it.
Just saw Dennis Nienhüser’s visual changelog for Kopete in KDE 4.1 which is totally cool. To be honest, I hadn’t really fired any instant [...]

Lunch, naps for the girls. Dad around in the mid-afternoon with (belated) birthday present. My laptop now has a 250GB drive in it, which [...]

Up, breakfast, somewhat groggy from falling asleep on the couch while coding.
Poked at various bits of code throughout the day, mostly spent finding way to make better use of what little time i have for coding nowadays. Found a snippets plugin for vim that says it will behave like TextMate snippets, so I’ll be checking [...]

Filled in for the PMO representative on the all SCRUM meetings today. Will do so again on Monday. We keep notes from the daily standups, so that’s what I did.
Spent the rest of the morning after that looking at an issue that’s currently affecting the field. Found a fix (just configuration) and passed that on [...]

Lots of meetings at work today, in fact, most of the morning was taken up by them between SCRUMs and an interview with a candidate for one of our Linux Application Developer positions. Poked at source code to try to figure out the various file formats and input/output flows of the project that I’m currently [...]
