grrrrr. Netscape borked today for no apparent reason
and forgot all its settings. So I lost my mail filters. I
think I'll go back to Gnus at this point, if I can get it
working with Eazel's CertificateAuthenticatedIMAP (TM)
servers, or maybe Evolution. I have been keeping NS4.75
around exclusively for mail, so I'll see this as an
opportunity rather than a curse, neh?
Looks like Nautilus 1.0 freeze is really happening this
time. Even though I wanted to get all my bugs fixed, the
obligation of Nautilus hell had become opressive. Nautilus
has had 600% more of my time than I could afford to spend on
it this week, so code freeze means final relief w/o guilt.
Hey, its not my fault I had to stop working, the bastards
just wouldn't let me commit anymore ;-) I am happy though
because we will be shipping a Nautilus that performs, if not
perfectly, admirably, on Solaris. Actually some of the
Solaris code (notably MP3 playing) is better than the Linux
equivalents right now, though sadly not of my
doing.
Work on Tadpole may resume again now that Nautilus recedes
in urgency... I need to dig more into the core code and wrap
my head around it before I can really be productive. Its
just not at the point where I could (even if I wanted to)
devote myself soley to, say, writing CODECs. My threadfu has
grown weak as of late owing to a year of crappy "We hate
threads, we hate C++" GNOME programming....
