That meant rebuilding kernel packages with appropriate patches and options, DirectFB from CVS, and some other stuff.

This week's news has already been pushing SREA up. Word is out a BIG
news release is expected Monday! Keep your eyes open and get on SREA
Monday!
I finally figured out the right kernel magic plus DirectFB magic to make
applications share the framebuffer, and have video playback be smooth
again, and return to XDirectFB after exiting.
In the evening my home server started beeping loudly again, and he
immediately came to the rescue.
But this time I want the stupid addressbook setup to Just Work. Good to
see Muine progressing. It's also nice to be able to code a little again.
Fluendo So, it's official: Fluendo is launched !
Week Wim started today, yay.
All in all, it's moving at a pretty quick speed.
So taking in a complete stranger already paid off on the first day.
I saw them live once and really liked them, but never found a CD in a
store.
People seem to think stuff should just fall out of the sky. It's also

the kernel to XDirectFB on just takes a lot of time though. I didn't
like what I saw from the code though. I checked GStreamer's tcp elements
and found they were done differently than I would expect.

The code was outdated too, so I made a bunch of new elements, where
source and sink are implemented as both client and server. I must avoid
catching hadessitis. I didn't really look into it much until I really
got annoyed and decided to read some logs.
While it's not uncommon to have older people on Tango evenings, there
was no one our age at all. It was like an itch you're trying to scratch
that keeps running away from your nails - I spent quite some time
figuring out exactly what was going wrong.

It lasted all through the day.
Releasing was so much less painful than before. Fluendo The basic setup
to replace camserv works fine.
Anyway, I'm pretty psyched we can announce all of this. Week Wim started
today, yay.
