Message-passing APIs (SIMPL)
In the KDE world, famously there was that weekend where DCOP (Desktop Communicating Objects Protocol) was created, setting the stage for things like KParts. GNOME picked the CORBA object model, and much later the Free Desktop world settled on DBus as a message-passing API. But even at the time, there were other message-passing APIs. At work-work I use one, called SIMPL, which is kind of shout-out to the late ’90s of DCOP.

GPG Key Update
Quick note that the yearly extend-the-expiry-of-my-GPG-key has happened early this year, as I realised that my GPG information on FreeBSD infrastructure was outdated. This doesn’t extend the Calamares signing-subkey (not yet) but does add new EC subkeys if that’s your kind of thing. The Calamares signing-subkey is valid until November 2024.

Calamares ABI Checking
Seems like over 3 years ago I wrote something about ABI stability checking and investigated a little how tools could be used to help maintain ABI stability for Calamares. Here are some callback notes.

Kids 'n Billies 2024 (Music Review)
Kids ‘n Billies is a yearly music festival in Nijmegen. The genre is rockabilly, folk, ’50s, punk. It is a family friendly festival, outdoors in the fairly small (seats 900) open-air theatre the Goffert. I got “married” – by two Elvis impersonators – to my nepgenoot at the festival in 2012, so it’s our yearly musical outing. Here are some notes from this year’s edition, which was two weeks ago already.

Calamares & some Distro Notes
Calamares is an indepdendent Linux distro-installer, and we just released Calamares 3.3.7. There’s a couple of known issues that need tracking down, but it is a slow process – one entirely dependent on how much time volunteers are able and willing to put into careful bug reporting (and reproduction) and then dealing with code to fix them. Anyway, here’s some semi-coherent notes about Calamares and distro’s and issues and things.
