Today I fixed a load of bugs in Planner, which is actually getting closer to a release even though it looked dark at one point ;) I've noticed that it really pays off to be a bastard when it comes to patch reviewing. Even though it might take some extra time to review a patch carefully and comment even on small details like coding style, it makes it so much easier to maintain the code even one or two years later.

So my tip of the day is: Let out the bastard inside!

Tomorrow I'm going to help my brother and his girlfriend move, which is probably going to render my back useless for a few years. What you don't do for the family ;)

Last weekend, I tried out something I've wanted for a while in Devhelp: a mini view to launch from inside Emacs, that only displays the API docs for the function under the cursor. It's a bit hackish since it involves parsing HTML and other evilry, but it works pretty OK for a small hack.

Speaking about hacks, somehow I got this strange idea into my head that I should write a Bonobo control. I think I was delirious from a sugar low or something.

The result can be seen here. Yes, it's a glade file inline viewer for Evolution. Yes, I know... I'm crazy. Thank you and good night.
