Live from Desktop Developer Conference, in Ottawa, Canada.

I finally got the Wifi working. Looks like one card is working, the other is no longer (identical models), and Airport does not like Linksys, definitely (on Linux).

I currently listening to Carl Worth talk about Cairo. It is interesting to see how things evolve in that area, and Cairo is really sweet. Combined with GL based X server, it looks like we'll have a really good graphic infrastructure... at least up to the level of the video driver. In that area, it becomes really sketchy with the proprietary bugware they come up with (programing for benchmarks and cost reduction is probably not the best idea ever, even more when you don't provide the source code). And Inkscape demo is quite impressive...

My talk about Free Software for Digital Photography (not yet online) went really well. Incidentaly, right after talking about Epson lack for cooperation for their RAW file format, I got a reply from the developer relations. Looks like they'll require a NDA also, but I'll see how far it goes. On the side of things, I started hacking libexif to have it read TIFF files (it is in the exif spec) and so have it read Canon CR2 RAW files and possibly Nikon NEF in order to be able to extract metadata and and thumbnails directly.

Met a lot of people, that I already knew, that I met for the first, etc.
