BillReminder now has inline searching and colored categories for (hopefully) easier sorting and some bling. :) A few more issues have been closed as well, bringing us closer and closer to a code freeze. Also, thanks to Diogo Autilio and Alex Bevilacqua we now have BillReminder packaged for Ubuntu Gutsy! Please take them (there are 2 *.debs available) for a spin and relate any bugs or feature requests here.

GNOME Bugzilla stats are out and what a nice surprise to see my name in the top 250 bug reporters and top 100 patch submitters from 2007. If could only have SVN access now…

Not really… but I did create this small webcast to show it off so people know what I’m talking about. :) I hope to attract more contributors to the project with my “production”… If the resolution is too crappy you may want to see the original file (approx. 6MB). Oh!!! Before I forget, check out the spiffy Screenshots page! Thanks Luiz and Vinícius for your hard work! UPDATE: Fixed the URL for original file.

Today I fixed issue 1864094 “Time widget for individual alarms are too long”. I ended up creating a brand new widget with gtk.SpinButtons instead of gtk.ComboBoxes, since we determined that it would be useful for a different dialog. This took me a bit longer than I expected because I insisted that the hours should be zero padded (i.e. display 01, 02 and not 1, 2, etc). After spending some time on this I finally gave him and asked Johan Dahlin if it was possible, to which I received a negative answer.

Today I started a No Bugs Left Behind campaign to air out any kinks out of BillReminder. Though I was very busy at work, I managed to file a couple of issues with several of them being resolved by Luiz before the end of the day! I had some positive feedback from people who tried the Mandriva package and even a *.deb too. Hope to fix some other pending issues over the weekend.

My pet project BillReminder has gone through several iterations of new code these last few days, mainly thanks to the work done by Luiz Armesto. All this commotion made me finally move the project’s home page, then hosted by SourceForge, to one of my domains. This has given me more flexibility and control over the overall design and look and feel of it. Speaking of look and feel, I have received some spiffy artwork (namely, the header) from Vinícius Amaral who was fairly excited about the project.

It’s was the end of the year and my head has been spinning with ideas! The important thing is to know how to take advantage of this and try to turn them into reality. That’s why I’m planning on using online systems like Remember The Milk(RTM) to help me get more organized. Since I check my gMail at least a good 50 times a day, and RTM integrates well with it, I won’t have any excuses if I forget something now.

Just in time for the holidays: rMake 1.0.13 conary 1.2.11 conary-policy 1.0.13

Finally caught up with my rss feeds and found out about some new sexyness coming up in Openbox. You’ll need to get Openbox(git) and Obconf(git) from their respective git repositories as well as this theme. If you’re running Foresight and want to try this (since it is still in development, I didn’t bother to submit it to a repo yet), let me know and I’ll get you the changeset.

It’s been a rather boring day for me… The funny thing is that it started out very promising, with many ideas going through my mind. Managed to create a rather simple “About” dialog for Foresight. If I get the time I’ll finish it and commit it to the fl:1-devel repository.
