No I’m not talking about Google summer of code. I’m just saying that I decided I’ll be coding this summer. I’ll be working on Sysinfo most of the time and probably doing some other Xgl/Compiz/Cairo/Mono related hacks. This is what I love to do.

So good news for all of you who are waiting for Sysinfo 0.7 release. Autotools Addin is in Monodevelop SVN, meaning you can create autogen/configure scripts for your Monodevelop solution. Which is totally awesome, I’ve been waiting for this feature for so long. I tested it on Sysinfo project and it works perfectly, so you can expect 0.7 version to have all the necessary scripts for your compilation joy. Creating these files is pretty easy now, right click on your solution and navigate to Autotools menu and click on Generate Autotools Files:

Currently I’m coding NVIDIA graphic card information section, it’s going pretty well. I extracted basic information like card model and card type and few other things which can be found in /proc/driver/nvidia/… but there is no info about cards memory of GPU frequency in there. I can extract this extra info with ‘nvidia-settings’ command, but it currently doesn’t work on Xgl but I’ll implement it anyway, so when NVIDIA people fix this Sysinfo will be all set.

I have a nasty bug to fix, the Partitions are not displayed the right way if you have your disk partitions in non standard way like: hda1, hda2, hda3, hda5,… It all works ok if you have partitions numbered in a standard 1,2,3,4,5 way. But if you have like a number missing in the middle it messes up things. This is really giving me headaches. It’s a simple thing to fix, but I didn’t figure it out yet for some reason. So when I fix this and finish up the rest I’ll release 0.7.

I hope I’ll be blogging more often now, since my finals are over…
