Older blog entries for lypanov (starting at number 12)

On my way to becoming a true geek I decided to 'emerge nethack' yesterday, and have been playing it feverishly since, very nice game it is, reminds me of Moria on the Amiga

Finished KEditBookmarks completely now, final usability problems have at last been erased.

Shall work on crash recovery during the following few days, decided on integrated it into the bookmark import code, with a small stub section of code in konqueror startup.

My personal website - phear lypanov - is looking better and better, now that the layout is sorted i'll start working on the actual content again :)

At last got around to really having a good go at improving my site layout and design - started using some css, and vastly rewrote the sitemap.

In fact, I shall start to release some of the code for the site, as I guess it will be interesting to someone out there.

Integrated first bit of crash recovery into Konqueror, next is to rewrite the ruby script into qt/c++.

Placed dynator (unfinished KDE app from university) on lypanov.shacknet.nu

During the last few days:

Did first version of my crash recovery patch set for Konqueror, at the moment its in ruby though :)
Cleaned up yet another ROI glitch that has been in KSVG for quite a while now - was a non-ROI bug that showed only when using ROI.

Working on a new PopupInfo patch for kwin.

Attempted to learn Haskell, gave up after 30 mins of not getting a simple calculation to print out from a command line Haskell prog, maybe i'm just stupid, ghc refused to work without me compiling it myself, and doesn't include all dependancies.

Spend some time gathering thoughts on a tick based profiling system for KSVG.

Over the last few days:

Added "All Icons" to icon effect preferences in KControl.

Finished off (excepting wierd bugs) KEditbookmarks multi-selection.

Last night: cleaned-up the actions problems in keditbookmarks and commited to kde HEAD

This morning: Slashdot's story on the Atheos fork was pretty interesting :)

Commited my 6 liner fix for ROI!, very easy in the end but took a LOT of thinking...

Started on a bit of fluxbox coding, but found a few limitations in the class structure that would make my simple feature request ({Next,Prev}Group) quite complex. Well, from what I could see after 30 mins...

Did a bit more on the website - mainly actual php file structure improvements, and completed various code TODO's.

Rounding up the last few bugs in my multi-selection keditbookmarks patch...

Yesterday: actually got a working extended selection keditbookmarks working! took another look at ROI, attempting some fixes, and gave up :(
Today: switched to fluxbox (fluxbox.sourceforge.net), improved code and layout of webpage, and attempted to catch up with my email, oh, and got a "at kde dot org" address :)

Much more work on website, many refactors and overall improvements on the php. Published the php code for the referrer map. And worked on a nifty little directory map viewer, shall put the src up later on. Speeded up the website by using the sort of php i can now code rather than that which i could code 8 months ago :) Optimized KSVG heavily with a stupid little drawing hack that unfortunately shows some problems in other code areas.

Saturday:

Finished a nice version of the referrer graph, still some work to be done - colours, loose some redundant info, add a few groups.

Sunday:
Realized that my multiple bookmark selection changes for keditbookmarks worked all along, but KMacroCommand was needed. Stupid stupid stupid, but at least now it actually works! (deletion only currently)

Got a semi-working version of KSVG ROI into CVS but alas some overall changes to the build process are needed :(

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.

If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!
