Yes, Spherical Cow. “/doh” by Hobvias Sudoneighm (striatic on Flickr), used under a CC-BY 2.0 license. Tatica broke the news about the Fedora 18 release name in Vienna to Emichan and me …
So with some great feedback and great suggestions from you, I’ve been iterating more on the partition resize screen for Anaconda. I started out by poking around with the visual design of the drag handles, and Robin had the idea to make the space between partitions draggable and to use a model where you only …
In my last post about Anaconda’s UX redesign, there were a couple of mockups that featured draggable diagrams for managing space on a disk, allowing you to shrink its partitions as possible: I’ve been thinking about the best way to make the partitions look draggable. They only need to be draggable horizontally; the mockup above …
So there’s a path in the storage flow of the Fedora installer redesign where if you don’t have enough free disk space to complete an install right now, but you have enough latent space available in your partitions if you were to shrink them. We offer to let you shrink them to continue the install …
Well, I got into a Photoshop vs. Gimp pissing match. Sigh. Lots of rich manure left behind in the aftermath. Why not try to plant a seed and grow a useful vegetable from it? So here’s a quick screencast (created using GNOME Shell’s built-in screen recorder with audio using a trick posted to GNOME bugzilla …

Suchakra asked me today if I had a GTK3 template for doing UI mockups in Inkscape, and I realized even though I had put one together some months ago, I never posted it. So here it is, enjoy (if you need a license, let’s say it is GPL+, attribute the GNOME project; the icons are …
Hello there! I was at SXSW (South By Southwest) 2012 last week, going to the interactive conference. Anyway, I tend to take copious notes when I go to talks. I thought they might be useful to a wider audience, so here you go. You can see other SXSW 2012 posts that I’ve made as well. …
