Hello Monologue

After much RSS problems (and there are still some in fact), I’m now on Monologue. Thanks to Miguel and Michael for adding me :) .

Now for the usual presentation : my name is Jérémie Laval, I’m a french student participating in this year edition of Google Summer of Code for the Mono Project. The detail of my submission can be found in an older blog post.

To summarize, I’m doing an open-source implementation of ParallelFx, a framework designed to ease the development of parallel application on CLR platform. You can see the current results of my work here and here.

Apart from Mono and Summer of Code, I’m also working on two pet projects : D-Bus Explorer and Circ.

Finally, for more general informations, you can take a look at my « About » page.

I'm a fanboy

Retour de Prologin x2

Chapeau bas aux organisateurs pour avoir eu la force de supporter ~90 geeks [...]

New Music

(via LordPhoenix) I just discovered Roger Subirana with its Point of No Return album today and I must say it’s very cool. Even though it’s far away from the usual music I listen to (metal music) I have found it to be a very pleasant atmosphere sound background while working. I can’t really point out [...]

IRC via WebBrowser

The trend nowadays is to propose all kind of traditional computer software in online equivalents. Gmail, Google Docs, Google Reader (to name a few) are now part of my everyday browsing life. The only thing which was missing to me until now was an IRC client on the same model (previously I had to ssh [...]

Google Summer of Code 2008

This year, Google re-launched their Summer of Code program for students. Since I’m now eligible for it, I submitted my application for the Mono Project. I proposed to code an « Implementation of the .NET Parallel extensions for the Mono Project ». Following is the content of my detailed description : Project Proposal I would like to [...]

Good and bad things

The good : I’m going to Prologin final ! (list here). PH01′s teacher is an infinite source of fun (and he works on some computer-related researches, great). Did the pole commission for Lolut this week. Productive meeting. Some good things already done. General refactoring for DBus-Explorer, UI should be much better too. Not yet in [...]

No special title

Time pass by so fast that I forgot to update my blog with all the recent events. In order to not break the cycle of General&Life subjects here is my report of the past week. Feel free to skip if you find that sort of stuff boring, I hope hacking posts to be back in [...]
