Well its been a while between updates, things have been out of control busy (You know, getting engaged and all), but I have been keeping busy.
A little while ago I discovered the Clutter project which is a OpenGl accelerated 2D framework for linux and decided that I’d have a crack at producing something with it. Seeing that I’d always wanted to learn a bit of Python and there were appropriate bindings, I dived in.
So, I give you Gloss, a basic but fairly pretty media centre type frontend. Currently its not a frontend to anything and its pretty buggy, but checkout the screencast below and it wil give you a rough idea of where the project is heading:
Ideally this will get hooked up to something like Myth, but thats a fair bit down the track at this stage.

This is pretty cool, I was looking into getting some gtk in my bloodstream and working on somthing that looks similar as a mythfrontend. I’m pretty sure everyone wants this.
