Dork-sided

Once again, it’s been a while since I blogged so it’s time for the update :). Coaster So, I’ve kind of been slacking in this area lately. I finally got multiple row drag and drop implemented (thanks Aaron for your Banshee code which does this) and it works pretty well. Hopefully I can get some bugs worked out and get 0.1.5 release sometime soon. Work Over the summer, I was put in charge of my company’s web site which is where most of my time and energy went.

Polypaudio? Please, not yet…

I tried out polypaudio a couple of days ago because Ubuntu is aparently switching to it. In general, it seems like a great concept, and I’ve heard great things about it, but I have this one problem: it dies with an assertion on ppc. It only seems to happen on PPC (x86 and amd64 both work fine) and I can’t seem to find a bug reporting tool for the project, so I don’t know where to file bugs upstream.

Ubuntu

Yes, I caught the fever spreading like wildfire… I downloaded and installed Ubuntu. It’s a pretty darn sweet distro with only a few quirks: It comes with pbbuttonsd as the default power manager. I tried it for a few days and found that pmud does a way better job with power management (I got almost 4 hours of battery with pmud and only around 2.5 with pbbuttonsd). Evolution spawns a new spamd process even with the -L parameter given to spamd.
