Eventful Weekend

Quite an eventful weekend. Terrible news about Mark Finlay, who has passed away. Obviously battling (and hacking) to the very end, his illness never showed on IRC and the mailing lists. My promise to him to implement gnome-scan has been renewed -- the mockups hashed out on his blog were looking very promising.

My grandmother went to hospital last week with pluracy and an irregular heartbeat. Outlook is good, but having a nasty cough I thought it would be best not to visit her just yet.

Saturday I played with Thomas's audio profiles for a while, creating a combobox listing all available profiles. Thomas rewrote it on Sunday, so hopefully I'll be able to put it into Sound Juicer shortly. This will entail a rewrite of SjExtractor, but it has been needed for a long time. The same rewrite will allow the gnome-vfs method to be a far cleaner patch, and satisfy my problems with the user interface.

Finally, Mr. Kilroy-Silk, apart from having a silly surname, is also a fool.

As I said in my comments on Footnotes, I think it would be a great testimony to Mark to implement his many great ideas - gnome-scan being one of them. He had so much energy and vision.

Good luck and let me know if I can assist with gnome-scan.
