Your tea is ready!
When I prepare a tea at work, I usually forget when the tea is ready, which
frequently leads to a dark, over-infused liquid, which is not suitable for
drinking :-) I wondered whether there is an application which can remind
me when the time is ready. Well, there is. I have found a
teatime_applet
for GNOME, which does just this - reminds me when the tea is ready.
I have packaged it as a RPM(?),
you can download the packages for Fedora Core 4 from
my
FTP directory (packages are signed by my
RPM-signing GPG key).
The only problem is that the teatime applet depends on the gstreamer-gconf library to select a correct sound output device, and this library is not in Fedora Core 4 (nor in the FC4 Extras). So I have added an ugly patch to remove this dependency. If you know about the gstreamer-gconf packages for Fedora, or if you know about better way of removing this dependency, let me know.
