Opale ported to qt4 and kde4
Opale was an application written using koffice that I use to handle my personal accounts. Long ago I have dropped support for koffice (mainly because of the crappy/undocumented/buggy chart API) and since then opale was a kde-based application. One year ago, i have started porting it to kde4, and, meanwhile, made it a Qt4 application. […]

Activities gallery
While developing my recently released activity mercurial extension (and here too), I did a lot of tests on some quite famous/big projects. I’ve found the results to be quite interesting and decided to put up this gallery. Are you interested in the history of commits for kde, linux, django, portage(software), and others? warning : this […]

Splitted activity for mercurial
Today I have added new options to the mercurial activity extension and most importantly, it is now possible to have a different curve for each author. It looks like this :

Activity extension for mercurial
This is something i’ve really been missing for long in mercurial : a way to display the activity of a repository. No, ‘hg churn’ is not the right answer, I want an idea of when the peaks of development happened. So I have written this small extension. It is based on matplotlib, so you’ll need […]

I nonetheless use almost exclusively Gentoo on all computers, laptops, servers and other divx boxes I have or maintain. That means a […]

Konqueror web shortcut for gentoo packages
You’re going to think that I’m some kind of web shortcut maniac, but I really think I’m not. I’m using http://packages.larrythecow.org a lot, and only today did I think about creating a konqueror web shortcut to get there faster. I’ve called it ‘gt’ (for gentoo, yes, i’m that lazy), and the magic url thinguy is […]

Youtube web shortcut
You all know the web shortcuts for konqueror, don’t you ? (like gg: or wp: when you want to use google or wikipedia in alt-f2 or konqueror). Well, I find this really useful, but theres none for youtube (in kde 3 at least, I haven’t checked kde4 yet). This is really easy to do. Go […]

Linux, a second-class citizen in the PHP world
PHP has the ability to send mails. Great. To do so, it can either connect to an external smtp server, or use a local MTA. Even greater! But only on windows. As astounding as it sounds, the feature of using a smtp server is only available on windows : on linux, you need to install […]

Entering the blogosphere….
I intend to use this blog to give insights about my free software development stuff, which is mainly related to Qt/KDE, gentoo, and the linux kernel.
