Gnome 2.6 is out! I feel shame, I had no commits since the last release. I
will have to check GKB and Glines if they were working… It’s hard to use a
PC…

I have found the missing key tab file for my ill-fated gkeycaps program, I
will try to continue the coding… I have forgot to commit it into the Gnome
CVS and the program does not work without this file :-P

The file is on my iPod, but I left my iPod at the customer. How fool I am!

Update: I have commited the file…

I’m folding proteins on my locked screen (I normally do not use any
screensaver but screen locks)… Few days ago I have found (again) a protein
folding project, called Folding@Home.

The goal of the project is understand how to fold proteins and protein
aggregation, helping to fight Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, Mad Cow
(BSE), CJD and ALS… I love to help, so I have downloaded the GUI and the
screensaver and joined to Team Mac OS X.

I have a big problem with the screen saver. I don’t want to throw out my
display after a few months. The screensaver has advertisements on the bottom
of the screen, they will probably burn into the screen.

I hate this kind of usability problems. Are they thinking or just pretending
to?

Terrible!
