Our baby boy was sick the whole week and I dedicated my time to him; hence there was no mentionable progress with the project. He is now feeling better and I’m back on track.

I’ve decided that usability testing will be postponed until the integration with nm-applet is done and the functionality can be tested as whole. I’m now converting the assistant to GObject (YES, I should have done that in the first place..) and try to rush to finish the assistant so that I can start the integration.

There has been some progress on the svn.gnome.org account and the problem is under investigation. I should receive the account very soon Like you haven’t heard that before

Last week I told you I’m going to use Betawiki for translations. If you want to give it a try follow the instructions and get on to it. Be aware that Betawiki is work in progress so don’t expect it to be flawless. If you encounter bugs or other problems join and bitch at #mediawiki-i18n@freenode.

Betawiki makes it really easy to get up-to-date translations:

#!/bin/sh
#########

base_url=http://translatewiki.net/sandwiki/extensions/Translate/libmbca

# fetch the list of available po files
echo “check po.list”

wget -nv -N $base_url/LINGUAS.txt -O LINGUAS

# get the files
for code in `cat LINGUAS`;
do
echo “check $code.po”;
wget -nv  -N $base_url/$code.po;
done

echo “translations fetched”

I’ve tried to get rid of memory leaks, but still many remain. If you feel brave you can grab an alpha release of libmbca (still working on that svn.gnome.org account) and give it a try. There might be some odd behaviour, but if you find something or just want to say hello, please join at #kesakoodi@ircnet or contact me directly. I’m available at least on Monday from 8:00 AM UTC+3:00 onward. And remeber to read the README.

btw, BlueZ patches from last week got accepted.

toys and raincoats

I finally received the hardware I was promised. Thanks Elisa! I now have Huawei E169, Option iCON255, Vodafone VMC HSDPA 3G and Nokia E81. I also received two raincoats that are hot, hot, hot! (in every way) Here’s some cute pictures (little blue, I know):
