How was your week, Mr. Lawrence?

May 30th, 2008 by antti

Nice week, indeed. Nothing big to rush blogging about, though. Here are some highlights:

I have requested an account for svn.gnome.org.

I installed glade-3 and some other stuff and immediately hit bug #112625 which is actually a gtk bug. I first tried to compile and package gtk from svn, but that was not very successful. I ended up patching the current hardy package. You can find the fixed package from my PPA. After you have added my PPA to your sources.list you can install the packages with following command:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev=2.12.9-3ubuntu4~ppa2 libgtk2.0-0=2.12.9-3ubuntu4~ppa2 gtk2-engines-pixbuf=2.12.9-3ubuntu4~ppa2 libgtk2.0-bin=2.12.9-3ubuntu4~ppa2 libgtk2.0-common=2.12.9-3ubuntu4~ppa2

I read through some debian and ubuntu packaging documents, but as the above install method demonstrates, I still have some learning to do :P

One friend of mine said to me that I have almost an obligation to start using all these web2.0 mambo jambo… Well, I registered at del.icio.us. It’s a pity there is no official plugin for firefox 3 yet, but I manage to find a beta. I also set up my Facebook account and updated my LinkedIn profile. I haven’t got the clue what to do with Facebook, though. I thought it was hilarious when Linked in suggested me the title “Independent Computer Software Professional” and why change it ;)

And yes, I watched Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence.
