Trying out the spca50x driver which now supports my Intel Create and Share camera (CS330).

It's a pretty good piece of reverse engineering. But it crashes whenever I close gqcam. I thought it might be gqcam at fault, but gnomemeeting also crashes it. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who tries it. Note for RedHat 9 (NPTL kernel) you'll need to apply this patch from Chris Parker.

Washing machine stopped spinning. Pulled it all apart to find a rusted saftey pin jamming the pump. Also discovered I didn't really need to pull it all apart, the pump just twists off and is accessable through the front panel. Excellent design by F&P. Unlike most software managers they were thinking about maintenance!

Bit of PyGTK... trying to work out how to attach resizing handles onto the calendar items.

Tuesday, 13 May 2003
Still playing with PyGTK. I'm working on yet another Linux calendar program.

Yes I know about that bloated elephant called Evolution. I also know about Mozilla Calendar which I think will be very cool when it's finished. But this is just for my fun, and for learning PyGTK.
