Ten days or so of GNOME 2.4.0 have just been too stable for me! In an effort to correct this I messed around with GTK+ 2.3, which left me pretty much stumped and non-functional for a few hours until I figured out what was going on. Reverted, speedily. Also built the 'nautilus-spatial-playground' branch, which seems very usable. I'm not sure I understand completely the rationale, but it's comfortable to use.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
