funrecords is annoying

sisob, maybe gnome needs a gnome-rants list :). For the time being usability list will have to do.

In other news, I spent the day painting kitchen walls. It was kind of fun and I made a nice slice of cash as well, considering my current complete lack of income. I have now returned to my normal daily activity, staring at a computer screen.

So I'm back at it once again, trying to convince gnome developers that a concrete document based object model is needed in order for gnome to extend its usability. I wonder if anything will come out of it this time. I'm honestly not holding much hope, but maybe I should join auspex's effort to produce a written document. He claims that he "could present (it) in person on a napkin." I don't doubt this.

So Marco convinced me to put my "OpenApplet" (or as I like to call it "Text Box for Opening Stuff with...") into gnome cvs. He even was nice enough to fix up configure.in and to add an italian translation. Have a bunch of little fixes i need to do, plus i need to decide if i'm going to support keywords, smart bookmarks or both. Smart bookmarks will probably require supporting epiphany's bookmarks system. Also need to provide as easy way for users to configure their gnome-vfs schemes, something minimal is probably best i guess.

Begging for a Feature
Could some one please implement a tabbed window manager. I can think of lots of great uses for this, the least of which is the replacement of the navigational file manager with a spatial one that automatically tabs together folders within a hierarchy. I can help with the ui interaction design. Please!!!!!
jdub posted a list of safari features that he thinks epiphany should try to incorporate. I really hope no one gets the idea that merging stop and reload into a single button is desirable, as even mozilla devs realized this was a bad idea.

First advogato posting. Lots of stuff to say, too lazy to write it down :/ Need to get myself added as a contributor to epiphany.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
