Ubuntu & Vmware Player

So, jdub beat me to the punch on mentioning this – which I’ll blame on him having the unfair advantage of knowing exactly when the final Dapper release was made. :-)

Sawfish users are people too

I happen to be one of those strange people who still stubbornly uses sawfish, despite its minimally maintained state. Now is not a good time to be using an unmaintained window manager if you’re not prepared to get your hands dirty, what with all the eye candy developements as of late.

Another new GWeather 770 interface

Kalle made a very good point about the problems with the two pane view; I have what I hope is a better idea that still avoids additional dialogs.

The new GWeather 770 interface

Haven’t posted an update in a while, and haven’t written about my gweather work in an even longer time. Over the last few weeks, as time allowed, I’ve been implementing a proper interface for gweather on the 770.

So that’s what those extra pins are for…

In the last couple of weeks, Pierre Ossman has got his SDHCI driver into very good shape and he’s about to submit it for kernel inclusion. SDHCI is a mostly undocumented, but very real, standard for SD card controllers which […]

VMware Server

Christian and Alex both got there first, so I shouldn’t need to get into too much detail about the new VMware Server product. One thing I will comment about is co-existence with the Player…

vmmouse driver for Xorg is now open-source and in xorg cvs!

It’s been far too long in coming from our perspective but we finally put our minds towards it and cleaned up the code and made sure all the legal ducks were in order, and today I am proud to announce that we’ve finally committed the vmmouse driver to xorg cvs!

gphotofs 0.1

I’ve rolled out a 0.1 release. There’s no big new feature, but it works quite a bit better than the previous one. You can still only read files and delete them but now deletes are not ridiculously slow and it won’t ignore errors from libgphoto2. So, all in all, it’s a very usable release.
