I did the “fixed-row-height” and now the rendering of the treeview takes (after it’s filed) takes no noticable time. Also thanks to a patch by NormalPerson, mpd is faster sending me the playlist data. So now from connect to ready and 0% cpu usage is around 2 seconds. (with a 65k items playlist) Not bad read more »

I’ve used the “trick” described by Emmanuele Bassi on the gmpc playlist-model. I’ve bumped up the maximum playlist size in mpd to 65536 and gave it a try. The time (roughly) when connecting to mpd, is 2 seconds for fetching the information from mpd. (complete id3 info for the 65536 songs, 14.3 mbyte of data). read more »

On my laptop a few small things has changed, realy minor. But it is a huge difference in “user-experiense” If I used the hardware volume buttons on my laptop (ibm Thinkpad T42), this now controls the PCM slider in the mixer. (first it was independent of any slider), and gnome shows the popup also mute read more »

Played around with tinyMCE abit, and I must say it’s incredible. Just a few lines of codeto add and it works. I’ve added it  to the site I  maintain/develop, and I hope/expect to get possitive comments on it. There is only one thing slightly irritating me, I am slowly developing a complete CMS. The problem read more »

I hope it doesn’t cause much problems for planet.nl.gnome.org. I must say the new admin interface looks very fancy. I wonder if I can get the nice “you see what you get editor”. I might enable comments later again. (I want to check out some anti-spam stuff first). I’ve wrote a small patch for mpd read more »

the spam is forcing me to turn of the comments (again)

One of the songs I realy like (one of those song you can keep on listening too) is: St. James Infirmary – Louis Armstrong. I also have a version of this song from: Van Morrison that isn’t bad, and also from Joe Cocker that has a certain ring to it. But the version I heard read more »

Looking for a solution for this: bug. You would be my hero. Gtkhtml2 is driving me completely crazy… valid html, and it still fails… Qball

Since my upgrade to dapper, my C programs that use gtkmozembed, and my python programs don’t work anymore. If I run the program in gdb, I see that it goes wrong in the function gtk_moz_embed_new(). Today, after I found out that a simple C program that only embeds the view in a windows doesn’t crash, read more »

I’ve moved my custom tree model for the playlist in gmpc. It went alot smoother then I thought, it mostly was search/replace. I have the idea that it’s faster on startup, and if I run it through valgrind –tool=massif. I see my goal is reached. The memory (allocation) usage doesn’t spike to 12 mb anymore read more »
