Today it’s a great day for Igalia, for tinymail and for the free software in the whole. Today an Igalian made a commit to the tinymail repository, this commit wouldn’t be so important if it weren’t done by a girl.
Her name is Antia Puentes and after drawing several awesome class diagrams (see here and here) […]

Fixed a bug in the tree model that stores mailboxes […]

After the previous post, I improved a little bit the drag and drop example. This time, I added another three view at the right. Now you can drag a row in the right tree view to a node of the left tree view.

I’ve recently been adding drag and drop support to a widget that is basically a GtkTreeView with an associated GtkTreeModelSort. The gtk+ drag and drop API is weird, there are just few samples and is not very well documented.
Furthermore, the GtkTreeView has its own drag and drop functions so my mind was a mess.Then after […]

A few days ago Philip wrote the following in the tinymail mailing list in response to a patch that I sent to the list:
Yep, let’s go for this. Commit please
Don’t forget our poor little ChangeLog file
I thought, OK Philip it could be poor, but little? Then I decided to take a […]

Again, a lot of time since my last post. If you’re interested, yes I’m still happy and I’m still contributing to tinymail. My contributions decreased a little bit these last weeks because I had other priorities but I’ll try to keep them going.
This afternoon I was trying to use the nice GtkUIManager stuff inside a […]

Hi,
it’s a long time since my last post and the most important thing I want to say is that I’m happy . Yes it’s a very strong word but I’m currently carrying on a project that makes me really happy. This project, you’ll hear about this in the near future, uses the tinymail development […]

Yes, it’s true. First time in my life. Look at this output:

I sent today an internal email to the Igalia staff about happiness at work. You know that our main goal, as company, is to achieve our happiness. Regarding to that, I wrote a not so long essay about my experience with an useful option that comes with GNOME since a few releases ago.
I’m talking about […]

GNOME 2.16 is out, so we must begin thinking about the new release. I’ve just generated the graph of dependencies of the 2.18 modules using jhbuild
svillar@wopr:~$ jhbuild dot | dot -Tps > dependencies.ps
See the result here in ps.bz2 format. Can you find your favorite module? As you can see in the zoom bellow it’s an […]
