The 5 Spectos

I just find it funny that back in 2005 when I had “no choice but to start the Specto project myself and learn python”, I could not find anything that did what I had in mind (tell me when some static website is updated).

祝我生日快乐!

I received this message in the morning (read at 7:30 AM before going to my morning Mandarin class). Hence the title of this post :)

Specto, Now With 10% Less Bugs*

*assuming that we only had 20 bugs :P

I spent this afternoon hacking away at Specto SVN, and I managed to fix a few bugs and implement features I wanted for a long time. I rewrote the tray icon module from scratch in order to help murder libegg and it now uses PyGTK 2.10’s StatusIcon. Furthermore, Specto now displays a balloon when something goes wrong with a watch (at least now you can’t say we didn’t warn you).
Also, I proudly present you libnotify balloons that stick to the status icon (and this is not even a hack)! Bleeding edge users rejoice!

Specto 0.1 et outil de backup 0.3

Génial génial. J’ai enfin fait la première release officielle de Specto hier (histoire de le faire en même temps que la sortie d’Ubuntu Edgy Eft), et je viens de faire une nouvelle release de mon outil de backup semi automatisé. Il utilise maintenant xterm au lieu de gnome-terminal, gère correctement les dossiers avec des espaces et des accents (à ce que j’ai testé) et peut être exécuté de n’importe où sans modifications affreuses du code pour qu’il accepte de s’exécuter.

Wiki up, good progress

For those of you who were watching us all that time since … last year? Be assured, we are certainly not dead. Specto is doing quite well these days. I just wanted to post a news there to confirm our presence, and to announce, for those who don’t know yet, that a documentation wiki is up and running on http://specto.ecchi.ca. This allows to have a decent user manual and a developer reference.

Cafards, chats et volatiles

Alors, d’abord, ce qui se passe ici. Ben en gros, le rythme n’a pas changé ici, on passe pas mal nos journées à s’amuser. J’ai pas encore été à la plage, à la mer morte ou des trucs du style, mais je veux les pousser à y aller ou quelque chose. Enfin, je me suis dit que j’attendrais que la mère d’Etienne revienne cette fin de semaine, afin de voir comment a été son micro-voyage, et lui en jaser si jamais elle veut aller visiter des coins, alors j’irai avec elle.
