Ocarina 6.3
I officially released Ocarina 6.3 this morning! Changes include: Improve unit tests. Finish up Doxygen documentation for core/. Separate tag database into multiple files. Move Gstreamer from core/ to gui/. Various gui code cleanups. The most interesting change this release is probably the gstreamer move. Ocarina 6.2 added an audio “driver” interface to allow for…

Ocarina 6.2
After over 4 months of development, I have finally released Ocarina 6.2! If you’re hoping for flashy new interfaces or new features then you’re out of luck. Most of my work this release involved splitting my GUI code into two different layers – one for controlling the actual GUI and another for GTK support code.…

Apple Picking at Wasem Fruit Farm!
Ruby and I went apple picking at Wasem fruit farm with a group of my friends this afternoon. She seemed to enjoy herself, and I got to come home with a big bag of apples! I brought my Nikon camera with me since I don’t take enough pictures. It was really sunny all afternoon, so…

Anna’s New Floor
I had a new floor installed in my home to give me a chance to fix some water damage I had noticed (I’m pretty sure that’s how the chipmunk got in!). I needed to pull up the carpet in the dining room to patch the hole, and I decided to put down laminate flooring since…

New Hosting!
For the last few months OcarinaProject.Net had been hosted on a Rackspace virtual machine. It was cheap, and worked well at first. Unfortunately, I kept adding different services: wordpress, git, my webcomic fetcher, bugzilla… My basic server quickly ran out of memory to run everything! I decided to search out different hosting options and settled on Linode,…

Ocarina 6.1
Another month, another Ocarina release. And we didn’t have to wait a whole year this time! My main focus for this release was finishing the backend code cleanups that I started before releasing 6.0. I’m much happier with how the code looks and I now have unit tests for every file in core/.…

I amuse myself sometimes
I’ve mentioned before that I like being somewhat open about my transition (at least around people I trust) because it lets me make better jokes. Here is an exchange that happened a few weeks ago: I needed something out of a closet at work and apparently I looked “heroic” when I opened the door, because a…

From Stickers to Magnets
I’ve had a small collection of stickers sitting around my home for the last couple of years, but I never really had any ideas for what to stick them to. I know some people like to stick them to laptops, but I don’t like the idea of losing all my stickers when I get new…
