Further information about last night’s Pete-related fun. The reason I was looking for Googlewhacks was that Amanda and I were watching Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure on TV. Now, just before the two Petes discovered that they both knew me, the Barman at the pub had asked how the whole Pete Collective thing had got started. …

It’s a small, small, small, small world
Sitting in the living room looking for Googlewhacks (thanks entirely to Dave Gorman) when my mobile phone rang. I picked it up and the caller ID reported that it was a certain Mr Pete Bellamy. Now, Pete’s a mate but he doesn’t call me often, so intrigued I flipped it open … Me: Mr Bellamy!Pete: …

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie…
Newly landed in my home repo, packages of Gimmie, the rethought panel for GNOME by Alex. Don’t worry if you find yourself torn between the glorious beauty that is Gimmie and the rock-solid stability of the existing GNOME panel though as you can use it as a panel applet. Packages for i586 and x86_64 are …

Kulow v2.0
Congrats to Stephan on his new project. Great screenshot although the interface is still clearly in development. I worked on a similar project over the last year or so and we came out of beta and released last month. Expect to spend August and September doing a lot of bug fixing.

Main Menu
Thanks to Stephan, Miguel and Marco for recent posts about the GNOME Main Menu. Thanks in particular to Marco for his mockups of essentially what I said last month should happen with the menu. I think I’d want to add a couple more comments: The menu takes too long to appear the first time you …

Planet SUSE work continues
Well, having made some design tweaks to Planet SUSE, I’ve now done some back-end tidying. Specifically, I upgraded to Planet 2.0 so that Blogger Atom feeds now work correctly again. I also removed some dead blogs. They’re just commented out so that I can easily restore them if they become live again. What it means …

Thursday
So much to talk about today. Firstly, the snow. Or rather, the lack thereof. Nottingham seems to have got off relatively lightly in terms of snowfall. In spite of that, I was still astounded by the general inability of the driving population of this country to remember how to drive in snow from one winter …
