I’ve tried to upgrade store20.com’s Apache web server to the new layout for quite a long time because I needed Subversion 1.2.x on the host. After bumping into #96263 (the problem was that the package maintainer hadn’t updated the package revision number and users didn’t know that you only had to re-emerge the libpq package), I had to say few curses and start applying counter measures fast (fortunately I had created binary packages of installed versions). After I had re-emerged libpq migrated I had to quickly go through a checklist of things to see that things are still working, but I still missed few things:

• Server had AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 in configuration, so all the plain html UTF-8 pages were broken (the PHP ones were working fine, so I didn’t had any idea that this may happen :()
• SSL default host had changed (forgot to check into this, my bad for sure)
• SSL certs had changed (minor nitpick)

After 3 angry phonecalls from Tuljo I had fixed all these problems. So to conclude - Why I Hate the Apache Web Server.

One picture from weekend:

Last weekend I had a nice trip to Southern parts of Estonia. Now I got ~270 MB of pictures which I need to tag and edit… But as it will take a while here are some pics from the last dev-meeting which took place on 14th of July:

Pics by Tults.

Visited barber, did some laundry and finished the clock-applet patch (now with icons - no picture this time, upgrade to GNOME 2.12 when it comes out :P). Also did some xhtml+css stuff after a long time, hopefully the awful front page of store20.com will be replaced with my new design and artwork.

I guess I’ll now go and hook up SomaFM with my audio system in living room and finish reading the July’s issue of National Geographic magazine… and then sleep.

So, today I took a plunge into GtkTreeView and it wasn’t so hard

Result is below and patch is here. It can be cleaned up a bit, but it works

Going home today after 3 weeks…

On wednesday I decided to cook lasagne, but after I returned from shopping I found out that I had forgotten to buy cheese. And what is lasagne without cheese? - a cheeseless lasagne which still tasted very good

After yesterdays album dev-meeting I got an Athlon64 machine, but because I didn’t have any experience with 64-bit systems I hoped I could get Gentoo on it using x86 LiveCD. Things were running nicely until I had to enter bootstrap process. Now I’m a bit smarter - you still need an Athlon64 LiveCD if you want to run 64-bit stuff on it.

As I haven’t done much stuff for Gnome lately (except maintaining Estonian translations) I decided to give it a whirl. Preliminary patch for the bug #165732 is here (local copy). It’s still preliminary because I want to add icons instead of text, but this requires diving into GtkTreeview stuff… Yup, there are still things I’m trying to evade
