I’ve put out a new version of drapes, 0.5.0 and i’ll call it stable. Not many changes over the last revision, updated translations, couple minor bug fixes and I updated the deb to work edgy & feisty (but not dapper).
You can fetch it via the usual channels.
Cheers, and here’s to hopping it works for everyone [...]
Really the title says it all. For a while now my friends at the school of computer science & engineering at Oakland have been struggling with this monstrosity known as the Sunray server software. The sunrays existed there for a long time as think clients for the Solaris machines. At some point Jorge got hired [...]
So I have this draft of an blog entry sitting in my wordpress for ages… One time i distracted and never finished it. But today people were talking about printing in #linux and decided I’d share a good overall linux/windows/OSX printer with a laser beam on it’s freaking head.
My friends always complain how much printing [...]
… that is, if your have a laptop. I’ve been running edgy almost since it was branched, today I’ve noticed that my laptop goes thought battery power like Jorge through beer. Then I thought about it and I did notice a couple times over the past two weeks that my laptops battery doesn’t last as [...]
This past weekend I was in Boston. Adam, Flav, Jorge and I were there for the summit, but we added up going there a day early, because that Friday it was my birthday and what batter way to get old then to go bar hopping in Boston. That Friday we were joined by our friends [...]
To say I don’t like when this happens would be __UNDER_STATEMENT__. You’ve been there before… your random open-source app crashes, it bugs you enough where you go ahead fetch the source, compile it, track down the dependencies for 1 hour… finally compile it; now your read to fire up the gdb, after about 5 minutes [...]
You can now import both images, or entire directory structures. I think this is the single most asked for features, I got emails about.
Notice the Combo Box in the lower right hand corner for the file chooser.
So now that drapes has been out for like a couple days a couple things have happened. Number one, I got lots of support requests, people find various ways of breaking drapes that I never thought of… and I love it, keep sending me bug reports and I’ll keep fixing everything to make sure drapes [...]
So I finally got of my ass and decided to release something; after long deliberations I’ve decided that if I wait till it’s perfect… well it’ll never be out. So I present to the world Desktop Drapes 0.4.96 nicknamed “Still no Icon”.
While this version still has some kinks left in it (I’m sure), it should [...]
On a short note, drapes (from the current bzr tree) support file system watching magic. Plus it has a bunch of bug fixes.
So, go on now and rejoice.
