Art as deep own imitation

Run and see the train just in front of you while several stairs are still missing…
Looks like the typical experienced way of loosing trains also if time to time you may fail. I failed with it and the odd rhythm got a start, probably it got some pause and finally it ended in the morning. Some step, four at time and you get into a square with a curious(!)(?(!))) policeman) dressing a blue uniform and a <-cosh.Uhm…it was probably more hilarious for them to see him while he tried to drive people as they were customized cars: yeye, but the park is nice and the small artificial lake too, just a bit black&white as all other things, but the sky seems disappeard.
Now is just walking and looking for a room, but is not that hard as it seems to be. A coffee news and fingers are prepared to a new odd rhythm while a gray iron woman is wishing to expose her beat of nuisance.
Finish, get up, walk, move, run a bit, the sky is still cromium-plated, some steps and a rest. Oh damn ****
Greetings to the cute Markus
It’s a while I’m working at the translation of the Claws Mail manual and probably I’ll finish it before 2009 (better to don’t give too much the sense of the expectation)
Actually the manual is composed by 12 XML files of different size, the bigger is glossary.xml [25.5 kB]
At this point I translated 7 XML files and from the missing ones I asked some help. Actually a guy got 3 of the files but in this time he’s a lot busy with work and can’t have enough free time to work on them.
If anybody is willing to help and have some free time to translate also 1 of them (they are around 10 kB) can contact me so that I could send or you can get them directly from cvs.
Here the list of the files that still need a translation:
* handling.xml
* keyboard.xml
* plugins.xml
A good hint I could give is to keep track of the related it.po file so that the translation will be more congruent.

“Which is more musical: a truck passing by a factory or a truck passing by a music school?” –John Cage
We don't need government
We need utilities.
Air, water, energy
Travel and communication means
Food and shelter.
We have no need for imaginary mountain ranges
Between separate nations.
We can make tunnels through the real ones.
Nor do we have any need for the continuing division of people
Into those who have what they need
And those who don't.
Both Fuller and Marshal McLuhan
Knew, furthermore
That work is now obsolete.
We have invented machines to do it for us.
Now that we have no need to do anything
What shall we do?
Looking at Fuller's geodesic world map
We see that the Earth is a single island, Oahu.
We must give all the people all they need to live
In any way they wish.
Our present laws protect the rich from the poor.
If there are to be laws, we need ones that
Begin with the acceptance of poverty as a way of life.
We must make the world safe for poverty
Without dependence on government.
<Interviewer>: ”After four years of the Iraq war, 3,900 dead American soldiers, 85,000 dead Iraqi civilians and all dead italians in war because of Berlusconi too, Berlusconi was so brave to say he was against to the Iraqi war.
How can we bear that??”
<Luttazzi>: “How can we bear that? Oh..I have my own method. Think about Giuliano Ferrara inside a bathtub with Dell’ Utri and Berlusconi pissing on him and Previti shitting in his mouth while Santanché in sado-masochist dress is whipping them all.
Is that better now?”
Decameron is suspended.
People may be shocked at his words, but how can this be more shocking than the war itself?
The show must go off air…
Gaim, Pidgin: Change the name but the dunghill is still the same.
It was Peter Lawler (bleeter) on 26 September 2005 who announced:
“Just a brief note, gaim-vv is completely dead now. Now work will be taking place on our cvs tree. We’re close to making the merge with gaim’s 2.x development tree. ”
Damn, how much were you close? It’s more than two years now and gaim/pidgin still doesn’t have a/v support…how’s that possible?
So, maybe they could be so far from the real working thing with gaim-vv and that’s a good reason why the project was dropped but I point you that still Peter Lawler some months earlier writes:
“I’ve been a minor hacker on the main gaim program for sometime, and as such have kept quite a number of developmental versions on my system here. Now as the gaim-vv fella, I’ve had to bite the bullet and make a couple of decisions.
First of which is updating the core gaim. As there are quite a number of ‘enhancements’ which the current development branch of gaim offers, I’ve version bumped my own working gaim-vv copy here to gaim’s HEAD branch. This does not mean there may not be another gaim-vv-1.x release, just that the work being done, if sufficiently complete at any stage, will be backported to whichever gaim-1.x release is out at that given point in time. This move is largely complete on my own working copies here.”
LATEST NEWS:
Oct 07, 2005 - Forward potr of gaim-vv 1.2.0 to gaim cvs head is working. I would like to clarify that gaim-vv isn’t completely dead, we’re working on merging with gaim. There will be no further gaim-vv releases, as code will be added to the main gaim program.
Sep 21, 2005 - Delayed announcement that gaim-vv is dead. All is not lost, though, as we’re in the process of forward porting to gaim 2.x. Yes! This means we’re aiming to include -vv abilities to the next major release of gaim! Subsequently, gaim-vv is no longer directly supported, and only lib2k and gstj2k will be supported.
Of course as you can state, this never happens but on the other side other interesting things happen…
It was 13 October 2005 when Google announced that Sean Egan has been hired by the company. Sean is the main developer of Gaim, the most popular IM client. According to Sean, he’s to work “on making it as easy as possible for other clients to use Google Talk’s voice features”, so we can expect Gaim and other clients to be interoperable with Google Talk’s voice features in the near future.
All boiled water…nothing of all that.
But as they are speaking in 2005 about Egan’s hiring it seems that the Open Source Community should only gain by this. False. False. False.
It seems to me that the main improvement (which looks a downgrade to me) from Gaim to Pidgin is the change of the name. A lot of Pidgin users are still talking about a/v support on the mailing list but contrary to what 2005 information let us to believe now, developer’s replies are kinda rude.
But I’ll be more rude, no problem with that.
Let’s see:
From Ticket #34 Pidgin:
# Voice/Video support opened in December 2006
Reported by: MarkDoliner
Assigned: seanegan (accepted?)
Priority: minor
Component: libpurple
Description: still no reason to require this to be a 3.0.0 feature; this can happen (as miracles happens) in a 2.x.0 release.
Let’s read some hilarious comments…

You just hit the nail on the head. I don’t know anyone who’s ever actually used or wanted to use a webcam.

I don’t even know anyone who *owns* a webcam, apart from Mac users.

What is Pidgin? Some lame MMORPG? 
Mr. Egan, you suck.
Android Developer Challenge:
” Cool apps that surprise and delight mobile users, built by developers like you, will be a huge part of the Android vision. To support you in your efforts, Google has launched the Android Developer Challenge, which will provide $10 million in awards — no strings attached — for great mobile apps built on the Android platform.”
Who’s eligible to partecipate?
“The Android Developer Challenge is open to individuals, teams of individuals, and business entities. While we seek to make the Challenge open worldwide, we cannot open the Challenge to residents of Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan, and Myanmar (Burma) because of U.S. laws. In addition, the Challenge is not open to residents of Italy or Quebec because of local restrictions.”
What are these local restrictions?
The last point is the best which asks to Google to pay in advance a 10% of the prize before to know if even will be an italian winner.
There’s a small detail in all that.
For the Italian law (and it was always so) isn’t possible to patent any of the major technologies. So Italian’s inventors doesn’t exists and never had been existed.
Few days ago I was curious about the new Indiana developer preview release, so I decided to try it. Since I had some problems with VirtualBox 1.5 (it works well with svn version) I just tried the live CD.
I was satisfied by the nimbus default theme look! It has very nice scrollbars, combox and tabs. So searching a bit let me to find debian packages to try it on my Debian Box. It should works well with all debian based systems.
Here’s the result on a Claws Mail’s screenshot:
Doesn’t look cool?
I‘m working on a WebKit/GTK+ Plugin for Claws Mail but it won’t be officially released since the WebKit/GTK+ will be more mature.
I’m waiting (also the Claws Mail team) for some stuff to be implemented as handling of context menus and some preferences above the loaded document like avoiding popup windows, deny loading images, javascript and few other things.
To get more info about Webkit the best place to look for is WebKit.org.
Currently WebKit/GTK+ binaries are available for most linux distributions but you can also built it from sources. EveryNight’s snapshots are available on the website but is also possible to get the source using subversion
http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk
Here the plugin,
svn co http://iwkse.homeunix.org/svn/Webkit_Viewer
The Webkit Plugin, named as Fancy Plugin is available in claws-mail cvs extra plugins!
Get it from here:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d:ext:cvs@scm.dotsrc.org:/srv/cvs/claws-mail co -r gtk2 plugins
It will be released as official in the next release.
Anyway for any problems you can write to me or join the #claws channel on freenode.
Have fun.
