CoverFlowWidget or how to make horrible code when you are sick

Ouch, after some extra hours of sleeps I managed to wrote up the first draft of my CoverFlow Gtk# widget for school. The basic maths (reflection + perspective) are working but a lot of issue remains like adding reflection to side slides and a basic animation loop. I won’t share my code now as, apart [...]

Capharnaüm #5

Caught a damned cold. Feel like my head has been smashed on a wall. Drop in productivity. Implementing DHT stuff for MonoTorrent. Work in progress but routing tables are already implemented. In the meantime coding a little CoverFlow-like Gtk# widget without OpenGL for my Mono kickstart at school. Hope I will have my Mono shirt [...]

Install Party @ UTBM

Last Thursday, Lolut, a club which promote the free and open-source culture and of which I’m the (forced ) manager, organized an install party at school where we put the latest release of Ubuntu on the students machine. I must say that, as it’s my first action as a member of Lolut, I’m very happy [...]

UTBM day 0 report

Today has been my first day at my new school (UTBM for those who doesn’t remember ). It has been mostly presentation-filled moment with at one side the different professors & manager presentations (boring like these kind of stuff have to be) and at the other side the student’s presentations (about the student life at [...]

Capharnaüm #4

(I think I’m starting to like these kind of post) Yay today I passed my last written exam for the Baccalauréat. Physics/Chemistry was terrific but I found Math easy (which is good because my final mark will depend mostly on this exam mark). Now it just let some practical and oral tests in the following [...]

Capharnaüm #3

I passed my philosophy exam today. I took some obscure subject about desire and its limit I did some cleanup work on both Circ and NGenerator. I pushed the stubs of CodeScheme, the CodeDOM replacement I will use for NGenerator, on the GIT mirror. I gave Circ some love in form of a new parser [...]

Design changement

In case you haven’t noticed, I changed the design of the blog. This one shows little things (like tags and prettier dates) that the previous one didn’t. Moreover I think this one is easier on the eyes. Now the header image seems a bit odd with the content of the blog, if by any chance [...]

Next year ….

Yesterday I received a mail which said that I was accepted in UTBM which is the engineering school I wanted to go. The final decision will depend on the issue of my baccalauréat (final exam in french high school) . It has already been 4 days of almost exclusive revisions (ATM revising physics stuff). Why [...]

Yahoo !

Hier nous sommes aller à l’Université de Besançon Adrien L, Adrien R, Thomas et moi pour y « défendre » notre projet d’avion solaire (et en fait justifier la somme de 300€ que le gouvernement nous avait gentiment avancé ). Pour dire, nous sommes déjà arrivés en retard (même si Mr Morlong a joué à l’as du [...]

Capharnaüm #2

… Où on mélange les langues. I felt like testing new stuff today and my choice was Openbox ! I’m currently running it in my Gnome session and it’s bother quicker, more responsive than Metacity while keeping Gnome advantage (like native look of my Gnome application). Go on try it, it’s damn easy. Dell has [...]
