I’m finally back in Xalapa after more than three weeks on the road. After the wildly successful GTK+ Berlin hackfest, I spent a day in the Hague with my good friends Andrea and Marcus, then headed for home. The flight …

The second Novell hack week is at an end, and I’ve set up a public Trac instance for Sterling. Development will go on there. I’ll devote some ITO (“innovation time off”) to it next time I get a chance.
Continue readingNovell hack week, day 4
Four days down. How time flies when you’re having fun. I must admit that Sterling is barely past the point where it creates a panel applet that does nothing – but on the other hand, I’ve absorbed a bit of …

Spent last week in Stockholm working on GVFS with Alex. We made great strides – pretty much all of the file system operations are now implemented in gvfs-daemon, gvfs-fuse-daemon and the SMB backend. Plenty of work remaining, though.

For Novell’s hack week, I wrote some benchmarking code for GVFS. It may not sound that exciting, but performance interests me, and it needed to be done. So far, the results are much better than I feared – for remote …
