you spin me right round, baby right round
Previously on Davyd's Blog:

If someone starts writing this before I do, can they drop me a line, so that I don't start writing too...

So I started hacking on this to get it working. After a series of bugs all caused by stupidity, that wasted enough evolution hacker's time. I've got at least some of it working:

clock/calendar :: work in progress
I still haven't figured out how to get colours from Evolution, but I haven't really looked hard. I like the addition of the length of each appointment. I need to get it ellipsizing properly, currently this is handled through stolen EEL code (which can't deal with multiple lines correctly). The thing is I don't want my bracketed regions to be ellipsized, so I suspect I'm going to end up writing my own ellipsizing stuff. I'm told that new ellipsizing code has gone into pango, have the docs been updated to show this off yet?

What to people think so far?

In other news, my parents made it successfully to Queenstown, NZ.

Update:
William McCann actually did the coloured squares the other day. It looks something like this:

Apparently I forgot to link to the patch previously: get it online from the angrygoat!
