    Wout Clymans has kept wearing his Hero Hat over the past year, developing his own branch of Specto and enduring the pain I must have been (as a Quality Assurance freak and project manager). Well, I can say for certain that his branch is pretty much rock-solid now, as I have been using it exclusively…

    This guy totally understood the way specto works and was intended to work! Damn. that means I should stop being lazy/being a good student, and get a 0.3 out the door soon (by poking at Wout’s awesome code). Or at least squash the silly watch list corruption bug that has been plagueing me for years…

    I just discovered today a nice, unintended feature of Specto: being notified when you or one of your collaborator changes your google document. The trick is just to add a web watch and point it to that document’s RSS feed. The drawback to this approach, however, is that it requires you to publish that document.…

    This release sports the basic set of features that you can expect from Specto’s goals. We consider this release an ALPHA release. That means Specto works very well for us and we are providing this to you in the hope that it will be useful to you, but we are not guaranteeing that it it…

    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). Now, as Pete Savage just posted on our mailing list detailing…

    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 🙂 When I came back to my home, I found something in my (physical) mailbox: Coincidence? I THINK NOT! I had been hacking on Specto since last night, so I finished…

    *assuming that we only had 20 bugs 😛 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.…

    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…
