  • Openismus day 60: Learning M4 as it seems useful for autotools and C++/*mm bindings. ION, BBQ at Openismus office on Friday 27th, August. #
  • Openismus day 59: Looking into cluttermm_tutorial problems which is leading me into learning more C++-binding stuff, which is fine with me. #
  • Openismus day 58: Got cluttermm building in jhbuild by adding atkmm dependency. Had to use gtkmm's gtkmm-2.22 branch. Needs 2.24 branch? #
  • Openismus day 57: Started porting gmemory to use gtkmm. Got autotools stuff converted. Couple minor issues with jhbuild and *mm stuff. #
  • Openismus day 56: Got emacs configured nicely now. Dropped CEDET for now. Currently using autocompletion, xcscope gccsense, flymake. #
  • Openismus day 55: My look into gmmproc turned into me spending more time setting up emacs. Issues getting semantic to find system libs. #

  • Openismus day 54: Rereading the gmmproc documentation slowly. Doing the example is good excuse to reacquaint myself with Emacs. #
  • Openismus day 53: Committed code for glib-mkenums changes. Began looking into updating cluttermm. Gotta learn to wrap libs sooner or later. #
  • Openismus day 52: Learned about glib-mkenums and implemented most needed changes. Remember emums != enums :( . Finished http://is.gd/efGXH. #

  • Openismus day 51: Mostly distracted by Andre's beautiful pony tail and conservative rhetoric. A little secret about Andre.. He eats tofu. :P #
  • Openismus day 50: 50 days at Openismus. Woot! Started looking into glib-mkenums. Read half of http://is.gd/efGXH. Other stuff I forget. ;) #
  • Openismus day 49: After problems with clutter-gtk on Fedora, I decided to install Ubuntu. Reran Valgrind. Now I get no definite leaks. Hmm?! #
  • Openismus day 48: More memory leak analysis w/ Valgrind. Mentioned some definite leaks that I can't seem to find. Did fix a few, though. #
  • Openismus day 48: #
  • Openismus day 47: After taking care of some paper work, I started using Valgrind's Memcheck tool to find leaks in gmemory. #

New Flat and the Internet Gap

We slept in the new flat for the first time last night. As usual, at least in Germany, it’s going to take a few weeks to get DSL connected. In our case, DSL gets connected on the 30th. This used to be the time when I’d fall into a deep depression due to withdrawal issues. However, this time is different.

For the time being I’m using the awesome new feature in Android 2.2 for sharing a mobile internet connection. Impressed with how easy it is to set up. It’s as easy as turning the feature on and setting the access point name and passphrase. Once that’s done up to 8 computers can connect as they would to any wireless access point.

Unfortunately, my mobile data plan only allows up to 200MB at 3G speed after which it gets throttled down to GPRS speeds. But it’s better than nothing and once DSL is finally connected we’ll be rewarded with 50Mbits down and 10Mbits up. That’s about 8-9 faster than what we had in San Diego for only a little more money.
