Gnome-Do for Gentoo

If your buddies are using Mac OS you may have seen Quicksilver in action. Now there’s a recreation of the same concept for GNOME called GNOME Do. I’ve created an ebuild for Gentoo which is in my git overlay (you can get it as graaff through layman).

Note that it doesn’t yet work properly with the brand-new metacity compositor due to the (fixed) GNOME bug 504876.

Not a resolution

I’m not really into New Year’s resolutions, but there is something about the quiet period between Christmas and the New Year that makes you reflect a bit on the past year. One thing I noticed is that I haven’t been outdoors as much as I’d like. Two weekends and a handful of days in a whole year is a bit disappointing.

With clear blue skies there was no excuse this past Sunday not to go and do some hinking. The wind was much stronger and colder than expected, but that just reenforced the fact that I should have been thinking about the direction I was going in. I wouldn’t have had to stare into the sun all the time as well. Still, some nice views along the Waterlinie on the Waterliniepad.
