Compiz++
Thursday, December 25th, 2008Phoronix is reporting about a possible new direction for Compiz called Compiz++.
Aside from switching from C to C++, it adds features such as a non-compositing option to the window-manager (handy if you need to turn off compositing while playing a 3D resource leach like SecondLife). Also, it adds the option of using non-3D rendering such as XRender, handy for older machines without decent 3D cards.
It is not part of the main branch of Compiz, and it will be up to the community to decide, but it looks promising.
Interestingly enough, as of KDE 4.1, those features mentioned above are already present in KWin. One wonders if that served as inspiration for the Compiz++ developer. KDE 4.2, which just released Beta2 (and is scheduled for full release in 25 days), will add even more features to its compositing arsenal, putting it pretty much on an even plane (or perhaps even surpassing) Compiz-Fusion.
New blogging client
Thursday, December 25th, 2008I am trying a new blogging extension for Firefox called “deepest sender.” No, I don’t think this will make me write more often, but it’s lean, quick, and (I’m about to find out) functional. Maybe it’ll at least provide some motivation.
