EDIT: As I expected the tabs thing is a prank! Take a deep breath everyone and relax.
I really hope this GNOME 3.0 Tabs “mania” is a prank, because it just seems so, sooooo stupid. Really. It’s like flushing down the toilet all of the UI simplicity that GNOME is supposedly aiming for.
Here is a mock-up [...]

The Forbidden Kingdom
A discovery made by a kung fu obsessed American teen sends him on an adventure to China, where he joins up with a band of martial arts warriors in order to free the imprisoned Monkey King.
Disappointing. Very childish and completely lacking a culmination. There is one average fighting scene between Jackie Chan and [...]
MSDN Search shows Mono results
Today I accidentaly MSDN searched for Win32SetClipboardData (our P/Invoke method name in Mono WinForms) instead of SetClipboardData and guess what… I ended up with 5 Mono results in front of me. I found it amusing considering the fact that this was MSDN Search after all. A screenshot in case they “fix” it. (Click bottom-left [...]
Weekend Updates
Watched the Norwich Lord Mayor’s Procession sitting comfortably in my chair behind my huge window. Was great fun and OMG there were guys dressed like Star Wars characters in the Procession (Norfolk’s Star Wars club or something).
The Linux UVC Video Class Driver managed to get squeezed in in kernel 2.6.26-rc9. It was supposed to be [...]
Disqus WordPress Widget Plugin
Today I made my baby steps in PHP (yuck) and I hacked up a Disqus WordPress Widget Plugin. It can be found here, where you will find the download and the same information as below.
Description
This plugin adds a new widget which can show statistics for your blog’s/forum’s Disqus comments: most popular discussions, top commenters, recent [...]
Support for 100+ webcams in Linux 2.6.27 (USB Video Class Driver)
Update: The driver actually managed to get squeezed in in 2.6.26-rc9.
According to a thread on the Linux uvcvideo driver mailing list if everything goes well we will see it included in the 2.6.27 kernel!
What is this uvcdriver and why is this great news? According to Wikipedia:
“The USB video device class (also USB video class or [...]
My Bachelor degree and the importance of the Free and Open Source Software
I have successfully completed my Honours Bachelor of Science (HA Bsc) in Software Engineering degree with the highest possible mark/result - a First (yay!). My studies took place in the University of Hull (United Kingdom) for the duration of 3 years. Lovey department/university in a suckabolic city. But who cares about the city anyway.
3 years… [...]

Edit2: “It’s official” == it has been started / is in developement
My Personal Apology for “shrugging”
It turns out that 5 years ago or even more, when my English wasn’t very good (not that it is now) I’ve stumbled upon the English verb “to shrug” and I’ve assumed that it means “to scratch (my head)“. Since then I’ve used “/me shrugs” probably a gazillion times during technical discussion on IRC. I [...]
Mercurial - my 2 cents
I was fixing a couple of Audacious bugs and adding session management support when I first had to use the Mercurial source control management system and initially I quite liked it.
It’s fast, simple - comes with just enough commands
It’s consistent - one executable to rule them all, unlike GIT and its gazillion of executables.
It’s extremely [...]
