gnome on Nick Richards

I love adaptive interfaces and technology that blends in more than the average human.

I do not always want to know what time it is.

Last summer I wrote up Octopus Agile Prices For Linux, a small GTK app to show the current Octopus Agile electricity price and the next day of half-hourly rates.

USB-C is excellent, provided you don’t look too closely.

I’m on the Octopus Agile electricity tariff, where the price changes every half hour based on wholesale costs.

Endless have recently released the first beta of the 3.8 series for their Linux based operating system.

I was lucky enough to be sponsored by the GNOME Foundation to attend the 2019 Linux Application Summit, hosted in Barcelona between November 12th and 15th 2019.

The start of a new year often brings change.

This year at GUADEC in Almería I was lucky enough to give a talk entitled “Product Management in Open Source”.

A while back I made a Pinpoint COPR repo in order to get access to this marvelous tool in Fedora.

The not-super-great-open-source code hosting system Gitorious has been acquired and shut down by the much-better-and-open-source code hosting system GitLab.

A few years ago I worked with a number of my former colleagues to create Pinpoint, a quick hack that made it easier for us to give presentations that didn’t suck.

Today was my last day at Intel.

I was delighted to be asked to give the GNOME community keynote at the recent Desktop Summit in Berlin.

I read this on the internet today.

New today, part of the last few months work.

We designed an operating system for phones too.

If you happen to be heading to the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit in a couple of weeks then I’d encourage you to come and see my talk on designing Moblin at midday on the 8th July.

Moblin is different.

After a very happy and rewarding time I’ve left Fjord and today I started working in the Intel Open Source Technology Centre with the old Opened Hand crew in London.
