So it’s the end of the week here. (In this place, Friday is the weekend, and I work six days a week.) I’m so looking forward to hightailing the heck out of here come 5:30 pm.
They finally fixed the fluorescent tube. Now that it isn’t flickering any more, my eyes aren’t being fatigued nearly as severely as before. The work still sucks, though, and now it seems it’s going to get even suckier.
In the meanwhile, Wednesday came and went, and no sign of Linux.Ars. It seems that RML’s interview was so well-liked by the powers-that-be that it might be split out into its own article. Anyway, I just worked on adding background information, a decent introduction and footnotes to the RML interview in the Linux.Ars draft. We’ll see how things work themselves out.
I had the idea to write a sort of tab-completing window selection feature for Sawfish, where you hit a certain key, and a window appears where you can type and tab-complete the title of the window you want (and multiple tabs would cycle through completions), and Sawfish would raise the window selected so far. Hitting Enter would make the selection box disappear and give the selected window input focus. It would certainly help me wade through the jangled mess of windows on my desktop a lot more easily, especially in the absence of a permanent tasklist. (I don’t have a panel on my desktop, and my only available tasklist is in the Sawfish main menu.)
Anyway, back to work. I’m really looking forward to going home for lunch.
Update: Figures. They split the RML interview off the Linux.Ars draft. (Not linking it up, since I’m not sure about Ars’ policy on making drafts publicly available.)
Update 2: This figures, too. Moments after my post, the final article went up. Except the footnotes are all messed up — instead of being all on the same page, they were all pushed to page three. Time to make a post.
