By moving some code around, I been able to speedup the startup a factor 3 (0.3 seconds now from startup to gtk_main()).This by first loading the backend, then hooking it into the interface. This saves a whole lot of signals and updates. More speedups by changing the treeview to fixed-height mode, this speedsup a forced read more

Archlinux, it is madness.
March 29, 2008 – 12:34 pm
There was a weird bug in stuffkeeper, only reproducable in archlinux. So I thought, lets install archlinux, so I went to www.archlinux.org, clicked “Get arch” and grabbed the ftp-install iso. Started the install, and it failed. Something about filelist not found. Does it turn out that the FTP ISO does not work, because the installer read more
Gwsl

I’ve got some questions lately about gwsl (Gnome Wireless Pc Lock). It seems the code got “lost” when moving stuff around on my website. So here it is again: http://download.sarine.nl/Programs/gwsl2/gwsl2.tar.gz This is the most recent code I could find, including a new fix for libglade. I have no interest in developing this anymore, it was read more

March 24, 2008 – 11:22 pm
I’ve implemented html output to stuffkeeper. It parses a template files and generates html from it. A template looks like this: edit: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html;charset=UTF-8″ > <title> StuffKeeper – {title} </title> </head> <body> [s <H3>{title}</H3> <table> [i <tr> <td align=’right’ valign=’top’> <b>{name}</b> </td> <td> {field:string % }{field:text <p>%</p> }{field:link <a href=’%'>%</a> }{field:slider %/10 read more

Pulse audio
March 17, 2008 – 5:59 pm
A while back I moved my stereo to the other side of the room. It got to far away to connect my desktop to my stereo. I do have my old mac-mini connected to my stereo, so I decided see if I could use pulse to have the audio from my desktop on my stereo. read more
Stuffkeeper, sqlite question
March 15, 2008 – 10:27 pm
Can I make sqlite delay the writing to the file. I do allot of small writes from different places from my code (tricky to do a begin transaction and a commit transaction). It is still fast enough, but you can hear the harddisk doing all the small writes, I’d like to avoid this. Q
StuffKeeper, now using sqlite3
March 15, 2008 – 9:12 pm
