([GNU] 5 Hours Ago GNU G-Golf 0.8)


Years in the making, GNU G-Golf 0.8 was released on Friday as a significant release for this GNU project. No, it's not a golfing simulator or anything like that, but rather a Guile Object Library for GNOME so that you can develop GTK applications from the Guile/Scheme programming language.

For anyone wanting to go on a wild weekend adventure, GNU G-Golf 0.8 is available as this library for developing GNOME/GTK apps using Guile/Scheme. This comes complete with libadwaita integration and allows Glib/GObject introspection. From the G-Golf documentation, here's an example application:

The GNU G-Golf 0.8.0 release has a number of new interfaces, a new Adwaita demo, and numerous fixes. This has been a lengthy development cycle with the G-Golf 0.8 development stretching back more than three years.

Those intrigued by G-Golf can learn more about it at the [1]GNU.org project site.

Bill Gates Receives Slap On Wrist; Carpal Tunnel Flares Up

The phrase "slap on the wrist" usually signifies an extremely minor
punishment received for a crime. In Bill Gates' case, the punishment set
forth in the tentative settlement with the Department Of Justice hasn't
been quite so minor. After receiving a slap on the wrist from the DOJ,
Bill Gates' is now suffering from a bad case of carpal tunnel syndrome.

"Mr. Gates was slapped on the left wrist earlier today by a DOJ lawyer,"
said the chief surgeon of the mini-hospital enclosed within the Gates
Mansion. "Now he can't move that hand without extreme pain. It's obvious
that years of sitting in front of a computer plotting world domination has
caused his hands and nerves to become fragile and vulnerable to even the
slightest touch."

The Department of Justice proclaimed that the incident has vindicated
their actions. Explained the lawyer who delivered the punishment, "We've
been accused of selling out to Microsoft. We've been criticized for giving
up even though we've already won the game. But that's all wrong. It's
quite clear that the slap-on-the-wrist punishment has been anything but a
slap on the wrist. We won this case and Microsoft lost. So there!"
