Last wednesday, Cristina and I went to the movies to watch Ironman. One of the last heroes movies that I have seen that I like a lot, it is funny, with action, speak barely stuff about scientific thing but just in the comic context.

Robert Downey Jr. performance is good, even when many people says that he wasn't the right actor for the character. I have to say that the character also likes me. I like the fact that in the movie shows the first Ironman suit, wich looks coarse, rustic, inflexible, just like I remember from the "old" pepsi cards 13 years ago. And the reinvented suit looks so nice.

If what you want to see is action then you'll have to wait a bit, because this movie is more about the begins of Ironman, how Stark was kidnapped, how he build the first suit, the scape, the new suit and then the fight against Obadiah Stane who becomes in IronMonger.

Cristina and I went to watch it to Irapuato, because here in Salamanca they have it in Spanish, I haven't see it in spanish, but, I usually don't enjoy the movies in spanish if the can be subtitled.

At the end, is a really nice movie to me, it's funny and with action.

Testing the new christineConf module, originally uploaded by markuz.

I have been working in the configuration module for christine, something similar to gconf, but just for christine. Why? well, many people complains because christine needs the gnome-extras package, where gconf is, and to be honest, christine didn't use all the gconf power, so, there isn't a big reaons to keep gconf on christine.

This isn't the only thing I have been working on. I'm trying to improve many things for the next release. Most of the work wil be in the list, zodman gives me some nice ideas, and I will try to implement them.

Anyway, you are also invited to work with me in the christine development. You can join the maling list for the next release.

Gnome open location dialog, originally uploaded by markuz.

It is quite usefull, but, where can I configure the key bindings for the gnome open location dialog?? I mean, It nice if I click on the Desktop and press +l then it appears, but it's not the same if I am on any other application.

You can configure the key shortcuts to show the main menu, or to show the run dialog, you can even configure the shortcut to show your home, but, what about this?.

If you know how to do it (on GNOME), please, let me know.

I have been using Firefox 3.0 Beta 5 a few days, it looks great with the Gtk widgets inside the pages, I think it uses less memory than Firefox 2, but my CPU is suffering...

by the way, Firefox was supposed to be IDLE (no flash video playing, nothing at all)

I love the new maur0's nick:

Well, christine has been added to it:

Es facil, al inicio de tu aplicacion tendras que inicializar los threads, que son algo asi:

Esto lo tendras que hacer antes de iniciar algun thread. Y luego, al usar algun thread debes englobarlo dentro de

Solo recuerda que no debes manipular gtk fuera del thread en el que esta corriendo el ciclo principal (gtk.main_loop).

Si lo que necesitas es estar cachando informacion en un thread aparte y modificar la interfaz (ej. Leyendo un socket y mostrando informacion de cuanto llevas leido) entonces usa alguna bandera y modifica tu apariencia en el thread principal, de lo contrario tendras problemas con gobject y glib.
