    Well it’s now 4am, it took me 4 hours to get it working. No assembly done tonight. I’m so good at procrastination, it hurts.

  2. Website overhaul

    April 15, 2005 by Eddie Gonzalez

    Since my website was attacked I’ve been working on security and making a real site instead of just a wiki. I looked into JSP and mod_python to see what crazyness I could come up with. JSP didn’t work very well since Debian stable only has Java2 1.1. Stable’s mod_python is pretty old so I can’t try PSP but I decided to try making my own simple version of it. Since most of the data will be static anyway, I don’t really need something as complicated as JSP/ASP/PHP/PSP. Although I do think I’ll try PHP eventually. Even though I should be working on my assembly project, I really want to finish getting the static pages part working tonight (and just treating < % and %> as comments). Hopefully it wont take me more than an hour, that way I can put a good hour or two into the assembly project before I go to sleep. The first page will just contain links to the blog and the planet. I really need to learn CSS and HTML, so my site can look cool.

  3. Back from Doug's house

    March 29, 2005 by Eddie Gonzalez

    I spent the weekend at Doug’s house working on our PalmOS project (A 2-player game that uses IrDA). Although we both got pretty far along, we still don’t have anything that’s playable yet.

    Doug started by writing on top of the example serial_chat.c program that the professor gave the class. I really hate writing in-side someone else’s code so I started from scratch. The advantage is that I feel more comfortable coding it since I feel more in control. Doug had lots of problems at first with communication, but he’s pretty much got it working now. I can’t stand coding like that, but Doug is far ahead of me with what he has working.

    For the communication I’m using a small event system to reduce the ammount of .h files that have to be included, and so that the communication c file doesn’t have to mess with the GUI at all and likewise the gui c files don’t have to mess with communication at all. Although it’s being a little bit of a headache right now I think it’ll be a nice and simple way of handling communication.

    I had a Easter dinner with Doug’s familly too, it was really good. It’s been a long time since I had real food. I even let go of my diet and had cheese cake. So for the next week I should really stick to 1,500 Calories or less. I realized today that I love talking about computers, software and Japanese. The more I learn the more interesting computers get. Maybe I would’ve been better off as a Computer Engineering major.

    With the help of Patrick planet WPLUG now has a new look. I hope everyone likes it.

    Got the WPLUG Planet beta test running. Hopefully it’s configured correctly and I’ll see this up there in three hours.

  5. I can't belive how complicated this is…

    November 2, 2004 by Eddie Gonzalez

    I’m currently trying to get Quod Libet (My new favorite mp3/ogg player) to have multimedia key support (Play, Stop, Prev, Next buttons on some keyboards) I can’t believe how complicated this is. Actually it’s pretty simple to understand what is going on in Muine’s source code for multimedia key support. But the ammount of stuff I have to read to get this to work in python is rediculous. First of all I have to learn about Glib and object oriented C, then I have to learn about emiting gtk/gdk signals, then I have to learn how to make this play nice in Python… :( it’s making my head hurt. I’m going to make some real good documentation on this subject once I finish this. I promised piman I’d get this all done for 0.3 I really need to finish this, I have other things I have to do (like pyfolder and Kanji).

    I’m also discovering that as the things I have to do get more and more complicated the more I need my ADD medication to get it done. It’s really frustrating to have to rely on this stuff to get work done. But I’ve tried to work without it for the last two weeks, it’s just not working out.

    … I had written much more than this but X froze and I lost it all… I’ll write about next time if I remember.
    (When will nvidia learn that open-source drivers work so much better than non-open ones.) (I blame Nvidia for all my X and linux problems, because I have a nvidia motherboard and 3d accelerator.)
