Cairo Quiz #1 23 December, 2008

This is the first of a set of quizzes touching the things I don’t know how to code in cairo :)

I need to draw some “glow” as the one you see here:

and here: (it’s just an example, I don’t want to copy vista!!!)

Something like a radial gradient, but streched!
The first Idea I’ve got was this but it is ugly because of the fixed radius and the idea of drawing it with a big circle…

Ideas? :)

Wohoooooo Laptop Arrived! :) 22 December, 2008

I bought a Samsung NC10, because portability is really important if I want to take it with me at the university. I’ve saved few money from the donations which will be dedicated to future hardware issues and opensource-related stuff!

I must say woooooohooooooo and thanks to you all! Now I’m trying to get Fedora up and running… :)

If you’re ok, I would like to open a page in the Murrine website where I will mention everyone who donated.

I will post something in the future, starting from some guides for other NC10’s owners.
