I'm really starting to get the hang of this plugin porting stuff. I've got ports of the awesome wall and snap plugins from beryl available for compiz git. I started out with a straight port, pulling things from beryl-core into the plugin where possible to make things work. I've now started actually changing the plugins to avoid this. This is all great practice for writing a replacement dbus plugin.

On that note, does anyone know of a program that provides a dbus interface and doesn't use the glib or Qt bindings? I need one that uses the straight C API.

Where you'll find me:

• IRC operator in the Ubuntu channels
• working on compiz, mostly working on the dbus plugin and a configuration GUI that uses it
• working on alacarte in GNOME
• porting interesting beryl plugins to compiz
• eventually getting back to work on WillowNG, a content filtering web proxy that uses bayesian classification (yay buzzwords)
• maybe getting into MOTU work?

Ack, lost all my posts again. Still putting everything back together. Hope you like the new layout. :)
