Updates.. Sayamindu’s Ramblings

Hello there from Sayamindu's Ramblings!
You came here from www.google.com.hk trying to find updates. These posts may possibly also be of interest:

This web site hasn't seen much exercise within a even though, so right here goes:
Purchased a HCL touch-screen primarily based netbook. It’s somewhat ancient hardware, but most of the stuff works out of the box (except for the webcam, which does not even show up in lshal or lsusb). The touchscreen required a binary driver – but a Free/Open Source version seems to exist, though I could not get to calibrate the display with the FOSS driver variant
[Update: The webcam works - I had to press Fn-F5 to enable it. It is turned off by default to conserve battery.] Taught myself (this was long overdue – but at least now I can admit that I did not know what I used not to know) how to properly write Python extensions in C. I started out with bindings for Hunspell (I’m reading up a bit on morphology nowadays, and finding it to be tremendously entertaining). There was a Python extension for Hunspell already, but it did not compile for me, and that pushed me to decide to figure out how to do this myself. One thing led to another,Tiffany Online, and so, as of now, there is (in progress) extensions for handling: Hunspell. Usage instructions right here
libgettext-po. This should be faster than the existing pure Python based PO file parsers out there. (maybe at some point, I could make Pootle/Translate Toolkit use this, and make the work of OLPC/Sugarlabs translation team members somewhat less frustrating.
XKB. I must admit that I took a shortcut for this, and this extension is actually based mostly on the awesome libxklavier. The final plan is to develop a Sugar extension for managing the keyboard options and layouts using this extension. The code in the main git repository,Tiffany Co, though fairly complete in terms of what is required for Sugar at the moment,Tiffany, is not implemented via (py)gobject. Implementing the pygobject-based wrapper is turning out to be a bit more complicated than I initially thought,Video of the Day 2 year-old Trekkie Dances & Sings To Star Trek Theme TrekMovie.com, but some code for that is also available in this repository (it is somewhat easier now,Tiffany Diamond Rings, since I know (at least most of of) what is happening under the hood). Released a newer version of the FBReader activity, which is considerably more improved in terms of usability (eg: response to the game keys keys even though the XO-1 is in tablet mode is significantly more smoother, and all the keys do something useful). People seem to be happy with the new release.
Coming back to the present, right now, among other things, I’m working on a few interesting (and important) enhancements for the book-reader(s). Some of them include support for long keypresses (eg: pressing the “square” game key for two seconds will show the table of contents), notification of critical power events (I realized to my horror during dogfooding, that in tablet mode,Tiffany Engagement Rings, even though the book reader is open in full display screen, there is no way to tell how significantly battery-charge is left),Tiffany Keys, etc. The bookmark support feature that I arrived up with a few months back needs a bit of polish, but I think I can make this show up in the next release of Read. Updates..
