Wuhu. Two weeks of holidays after two months of stress.

Now, that I have some time, I can work on simple-ccsm again. It’s really so relaxing drinking a cup of coffee and hack a bit on simple-ccsm.

Because I don’t want to bore you too much with my personal stuff, here is what I’ve been working on lately.

First of all, the UI got some redesign. Looks a little bit more like other GNOME dialogs. Profiles are now selected with a ComboBox, the slider was just unusable with slower machines. As you can see, there is also a description field now. That should give the user a better idea of what the profile really is about.

I’m currently also working on an own page for Zoom, to configure basic settings.

The only annoying thing at the moment is the profile switching. It just acts weird. I have to take a closer look into the CCS internals to find out what causes that “weirdness”.

In the last few weeks I heard a lot of music from Foo Fighters, especially their new album. It’s a nice mix of mostly really hard rocking tracks and few slower melancholic songs. One moment he sings softly into the microphone the other second he screams loudly with a nice guitar riff in the background. I really like this variations of loud and melodic parts.

One song I found very interesting: The Pretender. Not only music wise but the lyrics are also worth a look.

In time or so i’m told
I’m just another soul for sale… oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We’re temporary, temporary
Same old story

And as always a link to the also cool music video.
