Algonquin Park
This weekend's trip was to Algonquin Park, Whitefish Lake to be precise.
Despite forecasts of potential rain from the remnants of Hurricane
Katrina, two-dozen-or-so Polish families still decided the trip would be
fun. I've never been to the park before, and thought it was, as
advertised, a perfect example of the Ontario forest. Activities included
canoeing/kayaking, volleyball, and drinking beer. Volleyball was much
more fun than I ever remember it being; maybe I should get into it more.
While this is a yearly tradition, I have never gone; I feel compelled to
go from now on.
The rest of this Labour Day weekend was spent bugtracking before the upcoming Gnome 2.12 release. I found some interesting ones between Gnome and Cairo and the latest X.org snapshot. I also discovered one with Gstreamer and X.org. All of them seem to be based on the latest X.org RC, so they are not considered Gnome showstoppers. Surprisingly, bouncing between the projects is easy when you know enough people.
