Whether you’re grabbing coffee, tying your shoelaces or sitting at your desk entranced by the Boogie Boogie Hedgehog on YouTube, chances are you’ll miss a notification at some point.
The idea for a ‘Notification log system’ proved popular on Ubuntu Brainstorm so many will be pleased to hear of Onno Steenbergen‘s work on creating an application that does exactly this.
As well as creating the daemon (background process) that writes notification information to a log file (stored in ‘/var/log/Notifications.log’) Onno also found time to add in a ‘data provider’ for Zeitgeist and an Application Indicator.
With the project so very fresh from the mind to the binary the accomplishments achieved so far really are commendable.
