Damn it, theres this bug, which proves that Linux is the opposite of Windows: GnomeICU's file transfer now supports anything, but itself. ;) Try to send a file to a gnomeicu client, and the other side cancels? Bad luck for you. GnomeICU crashes. Try to send a file to a Windows client? no problem. Mac client? Same. Will try other clients, but generally I can't find the probelm. Its 2:30AM - my bet is that it contributes to my slowness in locating the problem. Anyway, its just plain weird. And POSIX threads sux in debugers. It just gives me some error in glibc. Wow, thanks! Anyway, I guess I'll go to sleep soon. Too bad I won't have time tommorow to work on it. Oh well... Jeremy's fix still works fine - weird. =) Fixed some more bugs today.

Jeremy appearantly fixed the TCP bug. GnomeICU crashed. Donno if its related ;) OK, a friend with an older version of GnomeICU get crashes all over the place while talking to me. Again, don't know if its realted =) Fixed some bugs in GnomeICU as well. Hmm, now that I think about it - maybe thats what causes the crashes? nahh, theyre not related to tcp. Oh, well. Fixed the contact list sorting bugs. I wonder it worked at all - the code was writen at 3AM, in the middle of hacking on the file transfer, with no sleep before ;) Anyway, it was fixed at 12:30AM today ;) and its 2:25AM right now. Gotta go sleep a bit. Tried to get HelixGNOME 1.2 all day long now, (now that Gnome 1.2 is out, I hope Jeremy will allow me to libgladify GnomeICU. Yoohoo), anyway, all GNOME's stuff (cvs,www,ftp) and helix's stuff, suffered the slashdot effect too early. So I was trying to get Helix for the past 7 hours or so ;) Off to sleep soon.

Yoohoo, crescendo is apperently alive! Terral realsed 1.1.6, and I gave him my 1 year old patch, that he appearantly lost, while he was drunk or something ;). The patch adds ability to set username and password when login to a MUD.

Been working on the multi-threaded file transfer. File sending was easy - done in 2 days - thought will have to fix Jeremy's bugs, that weren't visible since the refresh was so slow that you couldn't even see the dialog. Now that you do see the dialog you see the bugs as well. File recieving is harder - took me 4 hours to make it crash where I want ;) In the breaks while working on the file transfer - I've done some other fixes and changes. Added sorting to the contact list, and will fix the vertical applet later. Toastie gave me some todo items, which I'll do later.

Been trying to multi-thread the file tranfer. It seems harder then I thought. Anyway, won't give up untill I'll finish. Too bad Jeremy doesn't want libglade before libglade 0.12 is on most computers, which will be after AprilGNOME realse. Oh, well, I still got the patch waiting. I wonder how well will it apply against GnomeICU 0.94 or 1.0 (whatever will be out then).

Jeremy realsed GnomeICU 0.93 with my patches, along with some others, its a rather nice realse - nothing too intersting, just a couple of nice features.

I'm busy in libgladifing GnomeICU, so far the configuration dialog is gladified. Thanks god for the GNOME UI Squad, since they made the .glade file, which removed a major amount of work from me.
