All Blogs

I decided to write new articles in docbook directly, not posting them into this blog.

As promised I wrote an article on the Glib Mainloop. It is available here. I still need to add hyperlinks to the quoted references (API's,...), but I'll do that later.

I start to like DocBook, actually. The generated documents may look ugly, but some CSS work could fix it.
The good thing is you got a consistent interface, and the XML you write really describes what you're writing about, if you use the correct tags.
The documents I write may not be 100% correct (missing tags on some places etc), but I'm learning ;-)

I hope you like the article, please comment on it if thing's aren't correct, not obvious enough,...

I should try to write up some CV too next days. Hell of a job.

The sofware patents soap continues. Where I could post this victory message a few days ago, I now have some bad news. The EU Parliament wants to restart the whole procedure and have plenty of reasons for that, but the Ministers want the opposite. After their strange movements trying to accept the directive as A-item without discussion at agricultural and fishery-meetings, they're going straid ahead with it. Nicolas Schmit, Minister Delegate of Foreign Affairs of EU president Luxemburg, asked the council to vote the important directive on the 17th of february. Let's hope the parliament doesn't let them pass! The chance for that seems rather small, als British parliament member Arlene McCarthy annoucing the parliament will react very heavy. Nice. Let's hope democracy wins from the lobbying multinationals.

Will be continued! ;-)
