I’ve installed vmware-player on my amd64 today. So I could install a 32bit linux. (Need flash from time to time). This way I don’t have to fiddle with a 32bit chroot or anything. Vmware-player is so incredible fast compared to qemu, and with a 10 second google I found a way to create my own read more »

The most fancy and geekish now-playing script on the internet: Here A microcontroller (atmel mega16) powered 16×2 display, that gets his data over rs232 from my pc. Probly stop updating in 6-7 hours. (when I turn the pc feeding the images off) Qball

Today I’ve done some work on the cvs version of gtodo. * I’ve fixed one of the most longstanding bugs today. (crashing when opening a remote todo list). (f.e. try gtodo ftp://qballcow.nl/example.tasks ) * I’ve applied several small patches from WWP. (Thanks alot) * Back-ported some fixes from gtodo2. * Fixed compile warnings. * Updated read more »

Today I fixed one of the longest standing bugs…. Gtodo crashing when saving to a remote destination. This crash was caused by gnome_vfs_get_file_info that crashed. What I did was, I created a GnomeVfsFileInfo object like this: GnomeVfsFileInfo info; and passed it with &info. (Like you do with a GtkTreeIter); But I should have created a read more »

I said: “Now I (someday) plan to write a custom GtkTreeModel.” That night I couldn’t sleep, looked on the internet for some example code. Found a nice example implementation of a custom tree store. 1 hour later I had a nice treemodel that displays the current playlist. After some more fiddeling around it now keeps read more »

I wrote my own gtkwidget. It’s probly buggy, doesn’t do everything I want yet, but it’s in fact a working custom widget. Now I (someday) plan to write a custom GtkTreeModel.

I’ve been spending some extra time on gmpc, and I’m down to only 3 tickets left in mantis. All 3 are feature requests. If you want some feature in before the next release, or find a bug, please commit it. The following things I want to have done are: Moving songs in playlist: I allready read more »

As posted yesterday, I redid the whole config system, while keeping completely api compatible with the old one. After I moved the 2 files in the gmpc tree, recompiled. everything worked, the plugins worked withouth an recompile. I didn’t expect it to go that easy. Now the settings are stored in a ini file markup, read more »

A (long) while back I changed the config system in gmpc. The old system was very nasty. I had one big struct with all the elements in there. Anywhere in the program I would set the values/read them and on exit I wrote them to a file. This had a few problems, if gmpc didn’t read more »

After I’ve been pointed to a adesklet (mpd2v) for mpd and given it a try. I thougt I could do better in C. It was slow, and crashed constandly. So my plan was to extend mpdesklet, a test-bed program (first for libmpd, later for cairo stuff): First I thought todo it fancy and I looked read more »
