Back and hitched

I’m back from my week-long sabatical (i.e. wedding and honeymoon) and hacking away again. As soon as I get some pictures (the photographer is supposed to be sending us a CD with our wedding pictures on it), I’ll post them. Coaster As you can see, I didn’t get a pre-release of Coaster out. I wanted to hit myself. I still haven’t gotten it to burn without crashing, but I’m working on it.

Moving

Wow, this weekend was busy! On Friday, I took off work to go get my marriage license with my fiancée. Now we can officially get married :). Then, on Saturday, we came back to Cedar Rapids from Omaha to pick up the keys to OUR apartment. Yesterday was spent going to the groundbreaking service for our church and moving things into the new apartment. It’s really funny how much stuff we really don’t have.

Aerith’s Theme Update

Thanks a ton to all the people who emailed me with mp3’s and locations where I could get the mp3. Jason Scott Gessner sent me the one that my fiancée has on her computer. Thanks again!!

Aerith’s Theme

My fiancée and I are looking for the piano only version of Aerith’s (or Aeris', not sure which is right) Theme from Final Fantasy VII. I found the orchestrated version, but she has a version of it on her laptop hard drive (which is fried and is 4 hours away from me) that is piano only. If you know of a place I can get it, please email me. UPDATE: my email address is bryan at reigndropsfall dot net

Long long time

Wow, my last blog entry was on June 22. I guess Andrew is right in saying that I need to blog. So much happens in 3 weeks (I think it’s been 3 weeks). Coaster Really, not much has happened with Coaster on my end. Harshy has some debs in his repo for libburn and libbakery2.4 if you want to check those out. Also, he merged his gtk code into libcoaster, so now coaster-gui is using libcoaster for its preferences dialog (on my local copy).

A week of experimentation

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog entry, but it’s been less time than it has been for Daniel Elstner. By the way, he’s back and helping with gtkmm again. It’s really nice to have a resident C++ guru helping with the design issues I’ve been having. Plus, he’s a really cool guy. Coaster Coaster has been going through changes since my last blog entry. One huge thing that I really wanted to get done was an ellipsizing cell renderer.

Class sucks

So, today I started summer classes. As you can tell, I’m not too thrilled about it. The one good thing about this is that it’s a 6 week accellerated course, so I’m not in class as long. Another good thing about this class is that it’s only 2 hours, so that’s just long enough that I can compile stuff on my iBook and not have to worry about the battery running out (today, it only got down to 26%).

Laundry night

That’s right, last night was laundry night, but really, for Coaster, it was all weekend. I cleaned up the icon changing stuff. I now have a program-wide Gtk::IconTheme and Gnome::UI::ThumbnailFactory which store Gdk::Pixbuf refptrs into a std::map for quick lookup. It actually works pretty slick. I’ll get it uploaded as soon as harshy gets our arch repo (which I screwed up) fixed. Hopefully that’ll be within the next few days.
