After over nine months of hacking, Zeitgeist 0.2 has been released into the wild. Head on over to Launchpad or Siegfried’s blog for the nitty gritty.
It’s worth pointing out that this release is aimed at developers only and includes the Zeitgeist Engine and DataHub. For the rest of you, the Zeitgeist team has been working [...]

I’m jumping onto the meme a little bit late. I go offline for 24 hours and when I come back at least half of Planet GNOME has blue banners.

However, what disturbed me most about Stallman’s speech wasn’t the rabid rant against Mono and it wasn’t even the fact that he showed his incapability to understand [...]

Here’s a quick screencast of what Markus has been working on: He’s mounted a date-based FUSE filesystem using Zeitgeist and recently added html index pages for each day in the calendar.
For example, all documents that were opened on July 10th, 2009 would be in the virtual directory zeitgeist/2009/07/10.
Update: If you’re on Planet GNOME then you [...]

A friend sent me this private message on Facebook today:
Facebook is recently becoming very overpopulated, there have been many members complaining that Facebook is becoming very slow. Records show that the reason is that there are too many non-active Facebook members and, on the other side, too many new Facebook members.
We will be sending this [...]

Edit: Now that I think of it, the spam most likely isn’t targeted at hackers. My email address was probably found on Ohloh and the spam bot may just be programmed to automatically include a link to the site which it found the email on.
Ugh. More spam has been getting through Gmail’s filters lately. Here’s [...]

Quick introduction for new Planet GNOME readers: I’m a high school student in Ra’anana, Israel and have been involved in GNOME ever since GHOP 2007. After attending the GNOME UI hackfest this past October, I cofounded Zeitgeist and have been working on various new user interfaces since then. Those of you who attended the GNOME [...]

The first draft of my GNOME Journal article on Zeitgeist is below. Criticism and comments are welcome.

I’ve been thinking about the proper way to handle fulltext searches in Zeitgeist. (E.g. searching through a file’s content instead of just searching for files by name.)
I think the best solution is to fall back to Tracker and other search engines for all text searches. This is especially important if we index things like GMail [...]

I’m sitting at the Coffee Bean with a large Ice Mocha. Things that I’ve been working on include:

The GNOME Journal article on Zeitgeist which is due today.
An improved version of the mockup which I posted last night. (The new mockup is still only on paper.)
I discussed this bug with Ketil.
I’ve been thinking about how to [...]

I came up with a quick mockup for Zeitgeist last night. (Yes, it’s bare, hand drawn, and full of squiggly lines that are supposed to be straight.)
Comments are welcome. If enough people find it interesting, I might write some code for it this week.
