I haven’t written in a while because I’ve been pretty heads down on a project I’m working on. Hopefully, it will be in a shape where it makes sense to share with everyone before too long.
In this project, I needed an RPC system that could have multiple transport and be fully asynchronous (with GAsyncResult, [...]
It’s been a while, so I figured I’d just jot a few things down that I’ve been doing in my spare time.
Went to Yosemite again in January. We usually go about 3 times a year. We have a bigger trip coming up in March. If you are in the area and want to join, [...]
I made a crappy little abstraction on top of readline to make things simpler for myself. Someone might find it useful.
#include "egg-line.h"// … EggLine *line = egg_line_new (); egg_line_set_prompt (line, "Linux-Router> "); egg_line_set_entries (line, completion_tree); egg_line_run (line);// …

It’s nice to see people working on meta recently. For example, Quickly. After some long discussions with an architect at my last job, I hacked up something drastically different for myself. It’s a graphical tool to combine lots of meta pieces together from visual designs.
However, my available time keeps shrinking so I [...]
I got fed up with working around all the limitations with date and time in glib and C (time_t, struct timeval, struct tm, GTimeVal, GDate, etc) so I decided to write something new.
The result is GDateTime. It handles dates and times from 1/1/1 to 12/31/9999 on 100-nanosecond intervals. As requested by a few [...]
I’m now working at VMWare. I’m half way in the process of moving to San Francisco and should be up in the SoMa area full-time by next week.
I go to Yosemite a few times a year because its possibly the best hiking in California. Drew and Jordan went with me and took some amazing photos. There was a large forest fire at the time which made hiking Half Dome impossible due to smoke inhalation.
Regardless, they got some really good photos [...]
As of yesterday, I’m 25. It was a fun day of hiking, drinks, video games, and district9.
In gdkrecord, I added recording of GdkWindow sizes and exposure areas so that I can troubleshoot some pesky drawing problems with a few custom widgets.

I put together a gtk-module yesterday to record events from the main loop for post-analysis. I’m sure this has been done before. You can find it at http://git.dronelabs.com/gdkrecord/.
GTK_MODULES=gdkrecord ./myprog
By default the output file is pid-prgname.gdkrecord. You can override this with
GDKRECORD_FILENAME=myoutfile
Inside of the tools directory is gdkrecord-tool. It can dump the information in [...]
To start following through with my commitment of prototyping I set for myself, I put together a TreeMap widget this weekend. After seeing Miguel’s in Moonlight, I had to write one too. Turns out they are pretty fun. It uses cairo and pango for drawing.
Implemented in pygtk here and in C# here.
And Youtube [...]
