I will spit my vodka in your eyes if all you come up with is speed WTF? If you can't compete on a very important (to me at least) point, you don't want to listen? Git (especially if you use git protocol) is so fast because they first sorted out the basics and design right and then worked on the UI. Git is not just faster but tons of magnitude faster than bizaar. I used to think that 'speed' is irrelevant in this context but when I started to use Git, I realized how important it is for me as a developer. Also the stories of learning curve of Git are extremely over-exaggerated. For example, i recommended Git to a darcs user (who was pissed at darcs taking hours do clone a repo) and after three hours he came to thank me for that. I was surprised to see how quickly he learnt it but then realized that if you just give a bit of information how it's different than other VCSs out there before a newbie actually starts to learn/try it, he/she finds his way very easily into

Zaheer and Zeeshan, though has lot of alphabets common are still two separate names. :) I always took it as a joke when people used to confuse us but recently someone was about to give my money to Zaheer and that i think is serious. :) Good that that dude got my IRC nick right, otherwise...

I had been hearing stories of Finnish summer cottages ever since I moved to Finland but never got a chance to spend some time in one, until yesterday when we went to spend a day/night at the summer place of Suvi (a good friend of Ansku) in a forest not so far from Tampere. It was really lovely to be there. I am now really looking forward to spend the last week of July in Ansku's summer place , which I've heard is even nicer.

Initial release of gupnp-vala. Includes Vala bindings for the whole gupnp stack: * gssdp-1.0 0.6.1 * gupnp-1.0 0.12 * gupnp-ui-1.0 0.1 * gupnp-av-1.0 0.2.1 - Requires Vala 0.3.3 - custom GUPnP types (like GUPnPURI) are not supported yet, use plain strings instead. Custom type support will return shortly in svn version.

This is just to inform everyone that I do realize that a hard dependency on tracker is not the way to go and this is just a temporary measure. I am writing a gstreamer/gio based metadata extractor as we speak. Although I'll try my best to get this done before GUADEC at least, it might take longer since I do this on my spare-time (something I don't have in abundance). Disclaimer: I am not against tracker and I *will* keep the current tracker-based media source (as a plugin), though i might need to drop that as a temporary measure for while until i get the plugin system implemented.
