    A hash table re-hash

    On July 24, 2018 By Hans Petter Jansson In Computing, GNOME, Technical

    Hash tables! They're everywhere. They're also pretty boring, but I've had GLib issue #1198 sitting around for a while, and the GNOME move to GitLab resulted in a helpful reminder (or two) being sent out that convinced me to look …

    Introducing Chafa

    On April 24, 2018 By Hans Petter Jansson In Computing, Technical

    Here's something I didn't know: The DEC VT100 turns 40 in August. This factlet comes courtesy of Wikipedia, as I'm not quite old and wise enough to have made its acquaintance outside of a museum. None the less, the VT100 …

    GNOME and Rust

    On November 1, 2016 By Hans Petter Jansson In Computing, GNOME, Technical

    I've been keeping an eye on Rust for a while now, so when I read Alberto's statement of support for more Rust use in GNOME, I couldn't resist piling on… From the perspective of someone who's quite used to C, …

    New toy

    On October 30, 2014 By Hans Petter Jansson In Computing

    I got a new toy. It's a WASD keyboard with Cherry MX Clear switches. The picture doesn't do it justice; maybe I should've gotten a new camera instead… I guess it'll have to wait. Mechanical-switch keyboards are pricey, but since …

    On August 31, 2012 By Hans Petter Jansson In Computing

    It's been interesting following the recent discussion about the Linux Desktop and how it failed. It's a notion that's been around for some time – I'd say approximately since people tired of discussing whether next year was going to be …

    On February 15, 2009 By Hans Petter Jansson In Uncategorized

    The snow-shoveling I've been taking part in over the last couple of weeks is best described with a set of graphs: So far, we've been able to lop about 23 seconds – or 48% – off the time it takes …

    ENLi 2008

    On October 25, 2008 By Hans Petter Jansson In Uncategorized

    My talk, La comunidad GNOME para principiantes (The GNOME community for beginners), seems to have gone over well here at ENLi 2008 (the 2008 National Linux Meeting in Puebla, Mexico), with a big audience and interesting followup questions. The slides …

    Evolution goodness (and some badness)

    On September 27, 2008 By Hans Petter Jansson In Uncategorized

    My laptop went south a couple of days ago, so I'm having to make do with a screen that is bigger but endowed with fewer pixels. This has been a source of frustration, especially in Evolution, where I depend on …
