Patch Friday – 09/18/2009
boot camp workout class this morning. more heavy weights today, although in a bit different style. ended up doing step ups with 65 lbs of weight in each hand. could barely lift the weights up enough to make the step. 
Got Fedora 11 reinstalled on the laptop while at work. Always nice when you can install 1.2GB of updates during a meeting.
2 patches committed today for Patch Friday. One adds a warning on 'clear' to the chat window, and the other fixes up a ton of bugs in the Gadu-Gadu contact list support. Thanks to Dominik Geyer and Jakub Grandys for the patches!

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
Saturday – 09/12/2009
yay! weekend! got to sleep in until 7:30 when S got my wife and I up for the day.
Brother in law came in town from Atlanta this afternoon, so over to the in laws for dinner and visiting.
Simtower during nap and after S went to bed. also started on my GTD weekly review.

boot camp today. about as bad as i expected. 50 minutes of running will do that to you.
patch friday resulted in 4 committed patches and 2 more put into the queue that I didn't get to. Also got several comments via the blog. thanks! I'll try to respond to those as soon as I can.
Patch Friday!
I've deemed Fridays to be "Patch Fridays". This means that I will be doing various things with patches. I review patches, test patches, commit patches, etc. So, if you've sent me a patch, or stuck one on review board, or I've seen one from you on bugs.kde.org, then if I haven't done anything with it before a Friday, it'll most likely be handled on a Friday.
For this Patch Friday, I've (so far) got four patches to commit: two gadu gadu patches and two chatwindow patches.
Why Friday?
Because I had a lot of patches that I knew I needed to take care of, and today just happened to be the first day I could get to them. So I've decided that I'm going to stick with it.
Can I send you just any patch?
Well, not really. I'd prefer it if they were areas that I spent a lot of time on. For now, that would be:
- Kopete
- bugs.kde.org
- Basket
- Anything for the kdesdk module
- KatePart
- KDevelop
The last two areas are only areas that I'm marginally involved in, and so I'll be passing patches for those two pieces of code through the proper channels before committing them. Basket patches will go through my git repository of basket on GitHub before going into Basket's master repository that Kelvie Wong, the Basket maintainer, has.
Every Friday?
Yeah, pretty much, unless I'm travelling or otherwise indisposed.
Got Patches?
Friday's not over yet! Send me your patches!

Up at the normal time this morning. Ran a bit late due to starting a 'yum update' while I was getting everything else ready that took longer than I thought to finish. Decided to cancel it before leaving.
Nice rain on the way home from work. Weatherman said it should be raining the majority of the weekend and there is thunder making its self heard as I write this. I'll take the rain. We need it.
Created a yum repository for the VirtualBox packages that I'm self-compiling due to the lack of updates for VirtualBox in the rpmfusion repositories. Also poked a little bit at the new layout that I'm working on for KDE's bugzilla. Also played a little bit of SimTower after installing the new virtualbox build before heading to bed.
