Very simple, I am no longer a student (haven’t been for a while now) and I have a very interesting Job at the university. This however limits the amount of time I have for the different tools. C’est la vie. So what am I working on? well this website (http://compsoc.eu/ ) explains it a bit.

libchamplain saga continues
March 30, 2012 – 8:40 pm
A few weeks ago (allready, pff time goes fast when working) I got a nice update and now my libchamplain is broken again. So I do not have a machine where I can develop gpx-viewer on.. Frustrating as hell!
Graph things

I have nearly no time to work on it, but I fixed a few things on the train: (dummy data sets )
GPX-Viewer updates
March 18, 2012 – 7:47 pm
I have added a request for showing height in the Graph plot, this is I think the last new feature for this release. I have been playing with another tool that can plot the power usage of the whole house.. So I need a graph widget yet again, basically the same as in GpxViewer, read more
GPX-Viewer 0.3.0 – Three is a magick number
March 11, 2012 – 2:52 pm
In the past 2 weeks I have been working on porting gpx-viewer to Gtk+-3.0 and libchamplain 0.12. Andrew H. Did the first step for libchamplain, I merged some patches I made before for the gui. Together they resulted in a reasonable good working state. Then I updated things to be back (or better) then old read more
Improving gnome3
March 4, 2012 – 11:35 pm
something I found very weird in gnome3 that I could not type shutdown or suspend in the overview search. However it is pretty easy to add by writing 2 custom .desktop files (might needs adjustment for non-ubuntu distro’s) Place these in ~/.local/share/applications/. For suspending (directly suspends): ?View Code INI1 2 3 4 5 6 7 read more
Clutter fun
March 4, 2012 – 10:15 pm
I fixed my strange libchamplain issue (that you could not interact with the map by using the mouse). Moving gtk_clutter_init above the GOption parser fixed it. (WHY????)
Fun Fact.

51% of the visitors on the GMPC website, visit it from a windows machine.. Curious…..
GPX-Viewer GTK3 edition
March 4, 2012 – 5:03 pm
With the help of Andrew H. I managed today to port GPX-Viewer to GTK3 and libchamplain 0.12. Not everything is working yet, but the basic functionality is back. The biggest missing thing is that the ChamplainView does not seem to accept mouse presses. So you can not pan/move the view.. (weird). Help with this is read more
Gnome 3 and setting custom XDG_DATA_DIRS
March 4, 2012 – 3:42 pm
I installed gnome3 from the gnome3-team ppa (or how it was called) and this seems to solve a lot of the issues I have been experiencing (most important the complete X crash). But then I wanted to add a custom path to the XDG_DATA_DIRS. I have my own written software installed in /opt/mpd/ that I read more
