What’s happening with projects I’m involved in

My current endeavors

Ok, so I said I would keep up with this blogging thing, but I’m not doing a very good job. It’s been over two months since I last blogged. What the heck is my problem? So here’s the run-down of what I’ve been doing:
Work
I’ve been steadily plugging away at Master Packing’s web [...]

Clarification

I’d like to point out that yes, I know that version 1.3.2 of Drivel supports the MovableType API. I checked out CVS head to do my hacking because 1.3.2 was sending integers for the blogid and postid and the MovableType API wants strings for those values. If your blog software accepts 1.3.2 posting [...]

Coaster site

The Coaster site is down. Sean forgot to renew our registrar stuff and the result is what you have now. For now, the Coaster tarball is located here. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I can almost hear it…

This last week I started working on audio disc support in Coaster. It has been interesting trying to figure out the Gstreamer library and how to get it to interact well with Coaster without using a wrapping library (to save you guys the hassle of another binding dependency). So far, I have some [...]

Frozen

As Murray blogged about earlier, the API for all the *mm projects is frozen until the next release cycle. I think we got all of Glib and Gtk+ wrapped this time around and we fixed some things in Gconfmm (setting lists).
I have updated Coaster to use the new API such as Gtk::AboutDialog, Gtk::FileChooserButton, the [...]

API/ABI freeze turns into a snowstorm

I thought I had plenty of time to commit changes for the upcoming Gtkmm API/ABI freeze, but a snowstorm in eastern Iowa has put me in a rush. Luckily, Murray and I were on the same page and most of the changes I had were already done by the time I could get out [...]

PC World

It seems that Coaster was mentioned in a PC World article this month. It’s exciting to get recognition in a magazine like that. Oh, and just in case Matthew Newton is reading this… yes, Coaster’s development is going to pick up in 2005. Just so you know.
UPDATE: Seems as if Matthew Newton [...]
