0.2 second usable version

I decided to put it out there for Linux twitter users… another release.
It’s not stable yet because I need to fix threading. I get random application hangs and freezes now and then, I believe it’s because threads are not being properly synchronized. I’m working on this issue at the moment.
Apart from that 0.2 brings much […]

0.1 a first usable version

I managed to implement posting from gTwitter. This is a very important feature, because it’s really no fun just reading posts if you can’t actually write one
Here’s a screencast(H.264 encoded):

gTwitter beta

It’s a new project of mine. A pretty simple GTK+ application to interact with twitter.com web service.
What is Twitter ? See for your self
gTwitter, yeah I know it’s lame… but I didn’t come up with any cool ideas about the name anyway. The source is not in the wild yet, I released just […]

Tracker UI demo

I did some hacking today, when should be studying… So I put together a simple GUI for Tracker, pimped it with Cairo and some gnome-vfs for mime type and icons. Not alot of work actually, but it’s sort of useful. I know, Tracker already has GUI tracker-search-tool but I just wanted to code something more […]

Battery State

Wrote this little app a few minutes ago, it shows some info about your laptop battery state, which I find useful. I just figured out how to use Cairo to draw transparent ARGB background using Monodevelop Stetic GUI. Well actually my buddy Luka got lucky with the code and passed me the information, thanks bud.

It’s […]

BarRace

It’s a game, choose bar number, place your bet and start the race.

BarRace (package contains Mono binary with source)
To compile: mcs Main.cs MainWindow.cs generated.cs -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0 -out:BarRace.exe
Inspired by The BarRace.

My summer of code

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 […]

Mono is RAD

RAD as in Rapid Application Development. So what can you write in less than 10minutes using Mono ? A simple enough text editor for example. This “plain text editor” doesn’t do much, you can open a text file and save it. You can open a text as an argument when running the program: ‘mono Plaintext.exe […]

Sysinfo screencast

I “recorded” the latest Sysinfo 0.7beta4 in action with Byzanz desktop recorder. It’s a gif animation, quite a large file 9.2Mb and the quality is not the best, meaning the colors are not good. But it’s a nice way to show the Sysinfo functionality to people who didn’t try it or see it yet.

Cairo ARGB window & Compiz Configurator

This is what I’ve been up to.
I asked MacSlow to help me with the C# code that adds the Alpha channel to Gtk.Window, meaning: the window can be transparent or semi transparent. My main problem was that I was using Glade for Window widget and I can’t do that for some reason, or can I […]
