About Me
I contribute to Sugar, which is a desktop environment and collection of software for learners. I like how it has a coherent design and collaboration built into the desktop environment level. Also the journal is pretty cool. Sugar is also free software (GPLv2+).
I run Fedora GNU/Linux. Fedora is a nice, sensible distro that holds freedom close to heart. I also use GNOME 3 as my desktop environment, due to the simple, industry-leading design.
I edit with VIM. VIM needs no link as it is already installed on your Fedora machine. I am yet to fully understand the scripting functionality of VIM, and run without any scripts. However, I find it very ergonomic, which converted me from trusty GEdit.
Pages
One new and exciting design technique is multi-page site. It leverages no.js technology for fast navigation and accessibility. Here are some of these pages for you to enjoy:
- Writing Sugar Documentation with a Neural Network — What a terrible failure, probably?
- Dance - Sugar 0.110 — Better than GNOME?
- Gtk+ 3.22 theme support — Oh no, they kept it the same
- Liberating Presenter Club — Make great presentations, faster
- The End of Mako — Four years was too much to ask
- A Grow.io Introduction — Right now, we are in the world of the static site....
- Journal Project View - User Testing — Better result than last user testing!
- The Sea is Blue — Don't stare too long at the UIs of today
- Sugar With Instant Palettes — Palettes are fun, but what if they were faster
- Sugar Onboard - After user testing — User testing is great, my design skills aren't as great
- Sugar without a Homeview — Maybe just use the journal instead?
- ASLO-2 Post Mortem — How an ambitious project lacking focus failed, and the reflection that invoked
- Sugar Onboard Design — A popup based section to introduce users to Sugar
- Telepathy Top 10 Lists — Telepathy is a cool framework for real time...
