I was bored and made this video and this gtk gui for mounting google docs as a folder on your computer.

Anyway, please watch my video, mute the sound it’s nothing but static.

Now be warned, if you try this, remember that it’s not a supported piece of software, bugs aren’t likely to be fixed (unless you fix them of course) the code is available and it should work on Lucid. It won’t be ported to any other versions (at least by me) but it should be easy to recompile everything for other versions anyway.

I will answer questions here or by email. Your thoughts?

This is a howto for all those making Ubuntu Day graphics and slide shows for how you can drag and drop your clipart from template sets into inkscape as you would in programs like Dia or Visio:

Enjoy.

I’ve making a generic gtk class which will allow me to set up threading for a nautilus python extension, the idea is to set off a new gtk main loop with a window (using gtk builder) and set off a thread. To bind them together I’m using gobject timers with stacks of calls which cross the boundaries.

So far it works and has improved the load speed and usability of the ground control project. The generic classes mean I can expand it and reduce code complexity.

What are your thoughts on this problem? Is this the right pattern to use?
