What can I say, I'm a bastard who hasn't updated his
diary in almost a
month. You'll endure it.
Well, Bjerregaard went home (lucky bastard), it was a
good little
visit and I'm still amazed of the amount of cd's he managed
to buy. I
think he survived SF, but must have missed Kbh - pretty
early after he
got home, I got an email sent around 8am, explaining how he
just left
louises
(again ; lucky bastard). But in two days time, I can join in
on the fun - yay!
What else has happened since then ; went barhopping in
chinatown
last saturday, that are some seedy bars in that area. So
when you're
sitting
there sipping your crap beer, and this rather ugly but
rather
provocative dressed woman (I think) approaches you and asks
if you're
having a nice time or you'd like to have a nicer, what can
you say,
other then "no thanks, I'll stick to the beer - less health
risk - but
thanks...", lovely place.
I've been harassing the kids I live with into
acknowledging that
some cleaning action is needed to keep the den-o-filth
inhabitable, it
looks like it is helping. It is almost like at grønjordskollegiet,
except in
this case they're technically older.
My visa situation is still not good. My current visa/work
permit
expires 25/01, which leaves me with ca. 14 works days left
(after
vacation). So unless the H1B is approved while I'm in
Denmark (and it
starts snowing in Mountain View), I'll probably end up not
working all
of February. So you'll see me flipping burgers somewhere to
make the
rent, and running out the back door everytime the police
drives by.
Oh ja, det mest utrolige er sket - trolden scorede en eller
anden
nørd der var på besøg fra den der landmasse med kænguruer og
kaniner. Og så havde vi århundredets mest røvsyge
firmajulefrokost (det her er nok den mest tamme december jeg
har haft i mange år) - eneste redning var den flaske ålborg
ildvand bjerregaard havde bragt mig. Enkelte personer
sammenlignede det dog med vinduespuds oa., de ved ikke hvad
der er godt for dem.
(summary for the danish
impaired : fuck off).
hacking
Robey and I have begun the big libeazelinstall rewrite. It's
progressing slowly but surely.
I have come to realise, that while the gtkobject model
holds a lot
of small niceties, that it can no longer even reach c++. In
gnome-pilot I had begun to use GOB to do my object building,
simple
slick and sweet. In nautilus we're stuck cutting and pasting
vast
amounts of code, spending 20 minutes just to whack a basic
object
together, 20 more minutes to make a function virtual, 20
minutes to
create the signals and then 1-3 hours fixing cut'n'paste
bugs.
Wonderfull...
Now is where I could immerse myself in a long c/c++
discussion or I
could just not. Let's suffice to say that I after playing
with
libsigc++, I've become ready to go back to c++ (unless
someone writes
a GOB2000/Cfront for gtkobjects).
ja7, alt pænt jeg har sagt om gtkobjekt tager jeg i
mig igen
(næsten alt pænt, det har stadigvæk enkelte ok ting), c++ er
bare
nemmere i længden, og de sprøde ting fra gtkobjekt fik vi jo
for det
meste banket ind i neppen med tiden.
Additionally, management keeps finding ways of screwing
us in
various small devious ways.
I'll be back next year.
