I have been absent from blogging a bit 
So here are the highlights of the past month:
GNOME Clocks is shaping up nicely, a nice example of prototype becoming product. It is a very nice experience for me in developer <-> designer communication. Something that I have been working on with Allan Day, Jakub Steiner, …
I decided to prototype an extensions based on Jimmac’s mockups. I still need to fix some minor issues and add animations. It is not perfect yet and is a bit different from the original design:
Applications Icon is on the top of the bar instead of the bottom (seemed more comfortable for me)
Searchbar is centered (I …
This month Collabora has been sponsering zeitgeist for one year, here is the story about how that came to be and what happened during that year.
How I got in contact with Collabora?
I met Rob McQueen, Phillippe Khalaf, Sjoerd and some from the Telepathy team during Gran Canaria Desktop summit. I needed help with an …
This post is by no means meant to be criticism, but rather an opinion on raising questions we couldn’t get answers to.
So on day 2 I got Federico Mena and Garrett LeSage to try out my prototype. While we noticed some nice features there were also some very unclear ones too. Today we concentrated …
Yesterday Web (the new Web Browser for GNOME) was announced… You can find the mockups and discussion on https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Web

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gedit-plugins
We removed some dependencies and relied on GNOME common tools. We will continue fixing minor issues with the plugin as well as fixing some gedit bugs (the gedit crew is …
At last you can try it out the gedit plugin that Hylke and I have been working on for the last couple of days..
In an experiment to for alternative “open file” dialogs we started experimenting with the Dash. When you open a new tab you will be greated with the following page. The thumbnails generated skip …
The title says it all… You can read the announcement on Michal Hruby’s blog post. Zeitgeist has been ported from Python to Vala with its latest 0.9 cycle
We started 2 weeks before the desktop summit and are now confident enough to go public alpha with our work. With the focus of the desktop environments shifting …
So now after three days of hacking around we are almost done with the gedit “plugins”. I say plugins (plural) because I divided the Dash plugin in 2. One for the “notebook” part, to handle the tabs properly in the new “form” (still a bit buggy though) and the other one for the actual …
So over the weekend “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” Hylke Bons and I joined forces (just like during the GAJ days) to work more on the design of the Dash…
The gedit team gave some very good feedback till now, and I will be doing some work on Gedit soon
However back to the design and implementation work I am doing …
