• Gedit Python Plugins

    I have been putting together a python plugin system for gedit, so far it seems to work: I heavily used the nautilus-python, and epiphany source code to see how this is done, thanks to them ! Notice how the window title has been updated by the command in the console. The clever reader may also…

  • gShrooms, end of the summer

    Some more screenshots: Colin is streaming music, and jack is his friend. Jack is receiving the music. The screenshot shows what Jack would see in his own rhythmbox, because he has 4 friends that are currently streaming music, one of them is Colin, he is playing Liquid Scarlet. Here is jack’s conversation window to Colin…

  • The wonders of pastebin

    These last days, i’ ve been using pastebin intensively, for things like diffs reviews, code snippets to discuss, etc. And i got sick of the web interface. So i took a couple of hours to write this nice python script which allows to upload seamlessly any content to pastebin.ca, and maybe it will be useful…

  • Introducing gShrooms

    I have put a page for the Braves who want to try out gShrooms. You will need a jhbuild environement, rhythmbox and dependencies built, some stuff mentioned in the page, time, and nerves. I appreciate any report of failure/success on IRC or per mail.. Thos who are wondering about the name think about Shared Music…

  • Beta packages, Summer of code

    Gnome beta portage overlay Today i have been struggling to create all the necessary stuff to make portage install Gnome beta 2.11.90 The result is an overlay which you can download here (the name sucks, i know). If you don’t know what an overlay is, you most probably don’t want to try this thing, else…

  • Gedit follow-up

    This post will answer the questions generated by the previous one (or at least try to). One of the main concern is “Why use yet another search UI ?”, evince/firefox/epiphany use more or less the same approach, a bottom bar that pops-in causing no reflow of text. Gedit uses a sidebar that cause text to…

  • Gedit development

    Gedit is the gnome text editor, you all know that, i thought i might post some screenies of the latest interface improvements (i just make PR for them, i didn’t really work on it) Here you have on the left, the new find/replace sidebar, allowing a far better search experience than the crappy over-the-top dialog.…
