Boring news about Federico - September 2004

Go forward in time to October 2004.

• There is now a wiki for the Boston Gnome Summit! I started filling in the restaurants page from the stuff I remember. I just realised that I know how to get to those places, but I don't know the actual addresses. Hmmm.

• For Beagle we need to be able to extend all GtkFileChooser objects automatically with the user interface needed to perform search operations. I've been working on a specification of things we need from the file chooser. There are some additional features as well, and these could be useful to implement lock-down in the file chooser and also to implement the extensions that a metadata system would need.

  If you are interested in global searching, lock-down, metadata, or anything else that would benefit from extending GtkFileChooser, please read this spec and mail your comments to gtk-devel-list: GtkFileChooser Extension Specification, HTML version.

• I like my C# code indented like this:

  public class Foo {
  	int bar;
  
  	public int X {
  		get {
  			return bar;
  		}
  		set {
  			bar = value;
  		}
  	}
  
  	public Foo ()
  	{
  		bar = 5;
  	}
  
  	public void Bar (int i)
  	{
  		if (i < 0) {
  			bar -= i;
  			Console.WriteLine ("Eeek!");
  		} else
  			bar += i;
  	}
  }

  This is basically Linux kernel style (K&R indentation and brace placement, 8-space tabs) plus the class stuff. Out of the box, csharp-mode screwed up the indentation for the opening brace of a method, and M-C-a and M-C-e didn't work for beginning-of-defun and end-of-defun, respectively. So I put this in my .emacs:

  (defun fmq-csharp-mode-hook ()
    (camelCase-mode 1)
    (c-set-offset 'inline-open 0)
    (setq defun-prompt-regexp "^[ \t]*\\(get\\|set\\)?[ \t]*"))
  
  (add-hook 'csharp-mode-hook 'fmq-csharp-mode-hook)

  It's not perfect, as I haven't really worked with all the features of C#, but it's a start.

• Lately I've had to do some gnome-session work. I made a bunch of changes to its code to have better diagnostics. People who have to debug gnome-session may find this useful: gnome-session-instrument.diff.

Go backward in time to August 2004.
