Hitori

As part of some university coursework, I’ve recently been playing around with an Atmel 8-bit microcontroller in a quest to build a data logger for home brewing. The aim is to log various sensor readings over the course of primary fermentation of a batch of beer to see how it’s progressing without having to disturb [...]

Google have recently announced version 3 of their YouTube API. This is great news for libgdata: it means we can have access to all the same functionality as before, just with a JSON flavour, rather than Atom. Sarcasm aside, the last few years of working (on and off) on libgdata has made a number of [...]

I had an interesting experience over the summer, working in a small but diverse team on a single project for several months. I was contracted to design and maintain the build system, and so ended up getting involved in all areas of the project. As a result, I came across many of the problems which [...]

Many thanks to the local team for this year's GUADEC, which is definitely the best organised one I've been to. They were really hospitable, and had sorted everything out, down to the last complementary apple. I had some great evenings with friends at the Rialta and on the beach, and even got some hacking done [...]

Slides for my presentations on Bendy Bus and libfolks are now available from the GUADEC website (and here). Thanks to people for coming along. If anyone wants to get involved in Bendy Bus, please take a look at its gitorious page. For libfolks, join us on #folks on irc.gnome.org!

I've arrived at GUADEC! I'll be giving two talks this time: one on Bendy Bus, at 16:15 today (Thursday) in Room 3.2; and one on libfolks at 18:15 tomorrow (Friday) in Room 3.0. Come along if you've got nothing better to do.

Hot on the heels of Daniel Siegel, I've recently submitted my bachelor's dissertation to my university about the development of Bendy Bus. It's a much less impressive piece of work (and not bound as nicely) than Daniel's, but I too will be giving a talk about my dissertation at GUADEC, titled “Bendy Bus: fuzzily impersonating [...]

I've arrived about a week late to the party, but there are now some shiny new releases of Almanah, Hitori, Totem/totem-pl-parser (with my I'm-Bastien-Nocera hatbeard on) and libfolks for people to use and abuse. (Versions: 0.9.0, 0.3.2, 3.3.92 ... [More] , 3.3.92 and 0.6.8, respectively.) Many thanks to all the people who've done all the work on them […] The post Release-o-clock first appeared on Philip Withnall. [Less]
