MD quick feature : switch support in Autotools deployment project

Just to let you know that MonoDevelop’s Autotools deployment projects now allow you to add specific switch for the configure script.

Let’s say for instance that you want to enable at compile time a specific feature in your project. Now what you can do is add a switch to your deployment project which will be turned in something like --enable-super-feature on configure side (i.e. you will be able to run configure like ./configure --enable-super-feature).

This will actually define (as in #define) a symbol that you can use with #if … #endif constructs in your code to activate your specific feature.

Since we are at it, here is a little screenie :

md-switch-defines

I will add support asap for simple makefile projects. The UI is also probably a bit rough, if there are any usability expert out of there I will gladly accept any sensible criticism :-) .

Zencomic 0.1.3

This is a release that was lying around on my desk. It contains a little set of new features.

Summary

Zencomic is the comic strip-driven productivity enhancer that periodically makes your day funnier by showing comic like Dilbert or XKCD in a bubble.

ChangeLog

  • Added a ‘Show now’ button for immediate pleasure consumption
  • Image processing is now deferred to a separate thread
  • Tentatively try to see if the screensaver is active

Rupert's going famous

As I speak, paparazzi are getting crazy all over the world after hearing that Rupert (Mono’s mascot) has been making his debut on an international music scene.

Indeed, Mr Rupert was seen in company of Mr Gnarly Snag (of Smokin’Fez Monkey band) and a fellow Monoïste, playing at FIMU (International Student Music Festival).

Mr Rupert also liked Mr Austin Walkin’Cane performance and sent his buddies to get some group picture :

All in one, Mr Rupert is pretty happy of these 3 festival days and he is now enjoying some well deserved rest together with his Monoïste.
