whee.
yesterday and today started trying to get the current gnome 1.4 building/running on hp-ux. i've gotten a lot further than my previous try (mostly due to having some clue about hp-ux this time). going to start trying to get my patches merged tomorrow.
in building bonobo i found a nice little compiler bug on hp-ux. fortunately, the code it was compiling was again GNU "C" and i could find a workaround.
i've started hacking mig's file selector widget a bit this week. i'm "porting" what he has to gnome-vfs, and hopefully it will be at all usable soon. it's hard because gnome-vfs is *cough* undocumented, but this should change as more people need to use it.
requiem for a dream
so eazel is done. it's be a long road from 1.5 years ago or so when they started, and an interesting one. hopefully all the fun details will get out, as it is yet another interesting chapter in the pc history. of all people, arik probably has a very interesting view as he's the only one to have worked at both companies (and now he's at aol/netscape/mozilla/time/warner/kitchen-sink).
my thoughts are that basically, they got really unlucky. the timing of their funding needs sucked, and it's pretty unfortunate. hopefully ximian's learned a thing or two from eazel's demise, and we'll be around for a while. i know i've learned quite a bit from them.
i'm about to lose my worryin' mind
love sucks. one the one hand, it's a big con to try to get you to further your species, and on the other it's a way to add meaning to your life. it would be convenient if you could disconnect the two, but that would be like making unix not suck.
blah blah blah blah.
got american beauty on dvd the other day. it's a lot like fight club, and most people i've pointed this out to hadn't noticed it which i thought was weird. but maybe i am just an idiot (which seems like the case more and more).
i would mention how my allergies have been nicer the past couple of days, but i know what that would cause.

the bbc sessions heartbreaker is just, like, so good. so so good. most of the rest of that cd is, but that one track is like, beyond what not. i prolly do like the since i've been loving you from the song remains the same.
the battery on the n505 is so nice.
