Sucks as badly as always. Having observed that even most of the people in advanced countries can't escape out of myths and dogmas, my respect for humans has decreased enormously. I can find only a few people who are critical to ALL myths/dogmas, e.g Stallman, Chomsky and Paul Graham, which is why many people don't like them. When you ask people what's wrong with Stallman, they would say "He doesn't shut-up", "He criticizing everything" etc. Hence all the typical opinions ordinary people always had about intellectuals are put forward as valid arguments.

Gstreamer

I am back on cacasink and aasink too this time. The goal is to enable the app. to capture the output of these libs. A typical use of this would be to display the output of these libs in your own window. One solution was to implement the GstXOverlay interface, but that wasn't a good idea since it's X-specific and these libs are not. So after some discussion with rbultje I concluded to have filter elements for these plugins besides sink elements for this purpose.

GObject Serialization

Upon the advice of two great developers I know of, I've filed my proposal as a bug report. Perhaps it wouldn't get ignored/forgotten this way.

Job

I'll be told today if they would like to keep me as a permanent employee or not. Most probably, they will. Besides, where would they get a nice slave like me? :)

From my /dev/random

How crazy/stupid is this idea:

speech -> text -> compressed text -> ... -> compressed text -> text -> speech
