9. Letting people make their own mistakes

   rbultje complained that we at Xiph were being idiots trying to implement a new media framework badly, in reference to Arc's OggStream project. Please, give us a little more credit than that. We've never had any interest in implementing a media framework, and nowadays there's no reason ...

10. Ogg Chaining

    rbultje, glad to hear the chaining bugs are finally getting fixed. It's a bit of a show stopper for me with totem. :)

    As far as how to handle them in the ui, I can suggest three options. One is just to treat chain segments as independent clips. Each one ...

11. Hating Computers

    So, advogato is back up-ish. Raph has moved it to the new machine we bought to replace the ghostscript.com host, which expired some time ago and only survives now only as an artificial creature, dependent on life support.

    There may be a few more glitches as we transition the ...

12. XMMS

    fatal: I'm not surprised you're getting forks. The xmms program remains the most widely used audio playing in linuxland, and when the custodians of such an important brand don't provide leadership, other people inevitably step forward to try. We all want things to get better, and of ...

13. Solar Power

    Bram, there are several problems with your solar energy proposal. The most fundamental is that you're trying to drive a steam turbine with the pressure generated by the boiling water. If the only reason it's boiling is that you've pumping on it, there's no postive pressure ...

14. Virus bounces

    Sorry you've joined the esteemed ranks of the virus bounce recipients, garym. I've been on it for a while, mostly as an admin of the ghostscript.com lists, since we have TMDA filtering of the xiph.org lists. However, in this outbreak I've been getting lots to ...

    Poynton's Google Juice

    I wonder how much of raph's experience with gamma correction information on google has to do with Poyton's article having fallen off the web for over a year. My impression was that it was becoming the definitive reference for this, when it disappeared. I ...

    sorry state of affairs

    So live.guadec.org has a live A/V stream...in realplayer. Ouch. Real is actually (still) a reasonable choice for live video streaming, but a vorbis stream and a continuously refreshing webcam page work about as well. Better if you feed it the viewgraphs at ...

    GNU Ghostscript

    atai, good luck with that. Compromise isn't possible; that is the whole point of the split. It's not like we didn't try there. The only thing that's acceptable to both parties is for someone to do a port, in the direction you've contributed ...

    JBIG2 in Ghostscript

    Checked in the first integration of jbig2dec with Ghostscript last night. It took a while to get everything working; the stream implementation in Ghostscript is a bit tricky to work with. The code doesn't yet handle shared 'global' decoder contexts between page images, but all the ...
