Long time with no posts. The last 4 days were very, very bad, with an inflamation in my left shoulder that kept me away from classes, job and code. (So many pain, as if my shoulder was remembering me all the time “hello, I’m here!”)

The only important thing I’ve done was install Bugzilla on my machine at my internship. That was not hard to do, even on a XP system. My boss want me to be the admin and teach my mates how to use it. It will be funny, I think…

Well, back to the real world, I studied gstreamer- not that much, but a basic idea- and talked to my mentor, that clarified some points to me. Now it’s time to continue coding the recorder/player for my Tomboy voice-notes addin.

And last, but not least, I’d like to thank every one that has commented giving me suggestions and tips. FOSS community is even nicer that I thought

(sorry for my painfull english)

The only important news in my GSoC project, at this moment, is a language change. As gstreamer-sharp bindings aren’t working, I’ll need to make the recording system in C. So, for now I’ll code in C# just for calling this recording system from inside Tomboy.

It may be good, because C is more familiar to me. But in the other hand, I could be improving my knowledge in C# and I’m losing this opportunity. Anyway, whatever the language, I think it won’t be hard to do, and more projects will come in the future. So, no worries.

In the last weeks, I had trouble using SVN in my University. I talked to the network admin, he said it should be working, and now he is going to fix it. That’s good news for next week. But I couldn’t wait: I did an incredible workaround (“gambiarra” in portuguese… do you know Gambiarra? ), so incredible that I’m ashamed of writing about it in details.

I’ve been reading several tomboy addins code, and got the idea of the implementations. I’ve already coded something I think will be the “skeleton” for my addin. C# is very easy – but I think it’s weird. Even Java is more elegant… Anyway, I prefer Python ;D.

Monodevelop is very nice. Monodoc is cool. I just didn’t get the point on not using devhelp instead. (Okay, maybe they wanted to keep .NET documentation grouped and isolated from the rest…).

Everything seems to be alright, the only problem now is: I haven’t eat pizza for two weeks. I ran out of money traveling to Porto Alegre (FISL) and now I’m desperated!

P.S.: 10% of my GSoC money is reserved to pizza. Plus other 10%, for home-delivered pizza, and 10% for that frozen pizzas we can buy in supermarkets.
