New York

by Miguel de Icaza

Slides of my Mono talk are available here. They are in the trusty text/mgp format. The material is a bit out of date, but this is what was submitted for being printed a couple of months in advance.

The show continues. Maddog likes my new camera (but I have not yet managed to get the flash settings just right).

That day later on Mauricio showed up at the show. We went for dinner to `Uncle Nicks' with Mancha and Patrick.

Despite being a long day, Nat and I had trouble sleeping, and went for a midnight snack on 5th avenue, close to our hotel.

There was a guy sleeping.

Columbia University

by Miguel de Icaza

Did my talk at Columbia. Lots of interesting questions from the audience (some compiler students went, now if only they could email me ;-). Ben went to the talk!

I do not have any group pictures, but I will post some of the individual pictures.

Mancha and Patrick came to meet me to Penn Station.

Ximian

by Miguel de Icaza

Woohooo! Galeon, Evolution and new Mozilla are on Red Carpet!

I have switched from Mozilla to Galeon for my browsing needs. Funny fact: I installed Galeon to try their Smart Bookmark feature (where you get a Google toolbar entry and a Bugzilla toolbar entry) and never noticed that I did not miss Mozilla at all.

It uses the same Mozilla engine, but the GUI integrates much better with GNOME and it is a lot more responsive. The tabbed feature has gone from proof of concept to a fairly usable implementation and the auto-portal is really nice.

Gnumeric

by Miguel de Icaza

Interesting article on Gnumeric. It is written in Spanish.

It talks about GNOME-DB, the Basic support in Gnumeric and Guppi. Interesting overview.

Funny

I find the WinerLog funny. It apparently has a built-in 2-second delay in editthispage to discourage people from reading it.
