Bits

Fixed up my presentation for tomorrow. I spent way too long digging out an image for a slide. Its a shame that the OpenClipart site only dishes out .svg files. I needed to load the file into Inkscape to convert it to a .png. Inkscape seems a nice tool to use, but it also seems quite a complex interface. I plan on fiddling with it later sometime.

My train gets into Reading tomorrow and then I hop in a car with Josette from O’Reilly to drive to Hursley. I am quite intrigued to have a poke around the IBM offices. I am looking forward to meeting some of the developers. It looks that the IBM developers are doing some cool work down there.

Yesterday I came up with an interesting interface concept that could be useful in a number of different situations. When I get some time I plan on writing it down and submitted it to d-d-l, usability or the GTK list.

Tonight is another LUGRadio recording and we are interviewing Joe Shaw about Beagle. Aq is away in a tent with a man so Adam will be stepping in for the show. This is the last show of the season and it we will have a month or two off before Season 3 kicks off. It has been great fun recording Season 2 and I can’t wait to see where LUGRadio goes in Season 3.
