Today I’m attempting to kick off a new project called SavageSVG, a complete SVG library for Mono/.NET.
First of all, what is SVG?
From Wikipedia:
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML markup language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and animated, and either declarative or scripted. It is an open standard created by the World [...]

Yesterday I updated my computer to Dapper Drake (which is what will become the next version of ubuntu) so I could try out Xgl. It is honestly the coolest thing I have ever seen linux do, and will only continue to get better. If you’re brave enough to use an unstable operating system, I highly [...]

Yesterday on IRC someone asked how they could create a site like http://docs.gotmono.net/ containing documentation for their project, so I spent a little bit of time making it really easy.
$ svn co https://svn.extremeboredom.net/Monique/trunk ./Monique
cd Monique
./autogen.sh
make
make run
(WARNING! I have NOT tested “make install” so I don’t recomend trying it. I have no idea what will happen.)
Once [...]

I spent a little bit of time today and got my documentation system running again. I also updated it with the very latest GTK# 2.7.1 and Mono 1.1.10 class library documentation.
Announcing: http://docs.gotmono.net/ !
Thanks to the AJAX.net library, you will never see the entire page reload, yet the contents tree will always stay in sync with [...]

This was posted to the mailing list yesterday, nobody else blogged it so I figured I might as well:
We have also released an unstable version of gtk+ 2.8 bindings for
people who want to start experimenting with the cairo API. This release
is not for the faint of heart, and comes with no API stability guarantee
for [...]

I will be giving an informal presentation with Andrew about Mono and Meshwork at Seattle Mind Camp next month.
Seattle Mind Camp is a self-organizing, digitally minded, entrepreneur-driven, overnight Seattle confab.
What happens when you put 150 of Seattle’s smartest geeks in an empty office building for 24 hours? We’re not sure either, but we’d like to [...]

Worked a little bit on QuickThumbs this week and fixed a whole ton of bugs.
If you have a few minutes to spare, a directory with a bunch of images/photos on your drive, and mono/xsp/libgdiplus installed (1.1.9 recomended), here’s something to try:
cd /path/to/images/or/photos/or/whatever/
svn co https://svn.extremeboredom.net/QuickThumbs/trunk/web .
xsp
Now open your web browser to http://localhost:8080/. Have fun.

Those of you reading this via monologue (http://go-mono.org/monologue) have no doubt already noticed that the new look is now online! This matches the new http://www.mono-project.org/ website (which I did not have anything to do with) and brings us the talk bubbles from the Planet websites that everyone is used to.
If you are listed on Monologue [...]
So there seem to have been quite a few misconceptions about the Glade# code generator, both recently and a few months ago, that I want to clear up.
New Feature
Before I get to that though, I now have (mostly untested) support for both VB.net and Boo:
If you use either of these languages please test this out [...]
I wrote a very basic application to generate Glade# code from a glade xml file using CodeDOM. Its a good way for new users to get an idea of how to use Glade#, as well as a way for everyone else to save time.
This tool generates stub classes (one class per top-level widget) that use [...]
