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 […]

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 […]

KDE 4.1.2 tagged, gentoo land frozen
I’m not a gentoo fan. Mainly because I don’t like the idea of being a ‘fan’. Being a fan in the Free Software world usually means being an extremist and i hate extremism. 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 […]

Static link with cmake under windows (Qt and others)
One of the great things about Qt is that you can compile the code under esoteric OSs (mmh?) like Windows or MacOS. Although I’ve almost never used windows, I did the packaging of yzis. I used the Nullsoft Installer, which is ok. I had several issues with static linking, and thought maybe some of you […]

Release of cvxprocessing-1.0-beta1 (+tomography)
I’m releasing part of the code developed during my PhD. Those are tools useful in the field of convex processing, and more precisely to solve a problem called convex feasbility problem. This is based on Qt4, and released mostly under the GPL (with an added restriction : you must cite my work if you use […]

Toward release 1.0-alpha1 of Yzis
As some of you might know, I had to finish my Ph.D. and it took me a lot more time than previously planned. I’m happy to tell you that it is now finished. I’m officially a doctor in the field of applied mathematics, and I have more time to dedicate to free software. One of […]

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.
