news from the svn

well, the week is at its end

the last week end and the last few days have seen a set of commits. these included a new gino, featuring the cut/copy and paste

the study of this new feature allowed me to discover gtk.builder, gtk.uimanager, gtk.accelgroup and the management of signals in gtk.

I’m very proud to say that I can now subclass a gobject to add to it new properties and signals, and accessorily also accelerators

on the bad side, this also means that I will soon be obliged to rewrite some parts of Gino, which isn’t completely gtk.builder-compatible.

In the last few weeks I also started to read “Programming C# 3.0″, from O’Reilly. I find the portability of softwares really interesting, so approaching the .NET framework (as well as the Mono one) will be my next step.

Once a time (not a so long time ago) I wasn’t one of the fanatics of Gnome, and today I’m still greatly critic about the softwares which compose the Gnome desktop environment. But I admire Miguel de Icaza and some other Ximians, for the efforts they’re making to improve the Linux system.

So, with many attentions, I’m saying today that.. software develops in a way much more faster than rivalities. To have an open-minded approach can be helpful.

Thinking about what pushed me to restart coding make sme smile. Just today I have downloaded again IronPython.

Have a good trip in the net.

back, indeed

I’m in Lyon again, since a couple of hours.

It sounds always strange to start again talking in French. I love the french sounds, but the Italian-French transition is always noticeable.

Coming back, I’ve read a couple of things I have heard of during the vacations. PyHP, for example (see pyhp.org). And “Sub-classing GObject in Python” (http://www.sicem.biz/personal/lgs/docs/gobject-python/gobject-tutorial.html).

Well, I’ve also read LeMonde.fr and some other news, but, you know, it’s the crisis.

I think that now, I’m able to go to bed. BTW, Thanks for the Bagna Caoda, Davide.

thursday evening, before a travel

hello.

not really work subjects this evening. rather a travel depart. going back to italy, since the 11th November’s a memory day.

The luggage’s not yet ready, but let me talk you about last updates. Gino’s changing, and it now includes a Gtk.Builder support. Yep, not yet working, but right in progress.

I could talk about the gtksourceview now included in the interface. I could talk about XMLFinder, which evaluates your favourite xpaths for a given document. I would also come back to the gladestore, a fine concept, but already old. Today, I would like to change in favour of pickle, for example. and add some features to the store.

well, I must admit, the mind travels so far, and in a faster way than fingers. I cannot find so much time to complete Gino.

the next days I will be probably writing a couple instruments (cmd shell, and python again) to help a colleague to put patches onto production servers. question of improving time usage. oh, time losses.

See you in Alba, the next week end

and.. allez St Etienne!
