Gnome Jounrnal Update #7

Friday, November 14th, 2008 | Gnome, OS, Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Natan Yellin and I have been organizing a lot in the code. Natan stumbled up on SpiffGtkWidgets and managed to integrate it into the code. Although the display is amazing its pretty slow. Thus Natan and I decided to hack on it and upload our patches :).

A couple of new features will be added and/or are under development, most importantly:

1. Search! We need to be able to search
2. Bookmarking! I took out the bookmarking code to re-implement it at some point.
3. Tags! Tagging items would be really a cool feature however we need a database for it
4. Two new Iconviews Placeholders. “Frequently Used” and “Bookmarked”. I think the names say it all!
5. We are considering of storing History in an sqlight database! We need the communities opinion on it
6. Option of choosing a backend engine such as Tracker

Another very important thing is the naming of the Project! right now alot of the code is still related to mayanna-legacy! However since I will be also working on the new mayanna version I think renaming the classes and projects would be a good choice since alot of the original code has been changed and reduced. My suggestions would be:

• Gnome Zeitgeist (The options of bookmarking and frequently used should encourage this name)
• Gnome Reflaction (the a is on purpose ) .. à la reflection in/for action
• Gnome Did (sounds too much like Gnome Do though)
• Gnome Timeline
• Gnome Useline

More to come! Need to take a Nap

So computer is masculine ?

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’ ‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’

A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (’la computadora’), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (’el computador’), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.
