New project settings and rendering UI
It’s no secret that PiTiVi‘s “project settings” and “rendering” dialogs were huge, rigid, and, as Linus would have called them, stupid and ugly: …Until now, that is. Say hi to one of the most invasive and anticipated refactoring/set of bugfixes of the year: Brandon’s new templates/project settings/rendering system (which he blogged about recently [1] [2]…

Ajustement de la luminosité de l'écran en fonction de l'heure sous GNOME
Je n’utilise pas Redshift (ou f.lux) parce que je tiens un minimum à la fidélité de mes couleurs et parce que je ne suis pas convaincu que nous ne sommes pas face à un énorme effet placebo (ou une conspiration du gouvernement). Néanmoins, le soir, pour geeker dans une lumière tamisée, j’aime bien que le…

The most annoying Specto bug ever
There is this infamous bug in Specto where emails that are not in English would show up with messed up encoding: It is the single most infuriating bug I know in Specto, annoying me daily. Today, I spent three miserable hours trying to fix it, and went 90% of the way towards that goal. It now…

Snowy hackfest & Boston Summit
I had a great time at the Snowy hackfest (and the Boston Summit). Thanks to the subsidy from the GNOME Foundation, I’ve been able to meet tons of brilliant people and help free/open source software while meeting the constraints of my student schedule—and budget! In order to get you all pumped up and excited before…

Introducing: Recipe Manager
Three years ago, Daniel Taylor (of Arista fame) made a small application designed to store and manage your favourite recipes. It was simple, lightweight, elegant. He called it Recipe Manager (got a better, unique name, anyone?) and released a “technology preview” along with the file format spec onto this website. I was pretty excited and…

Ring Light and HDR Sketch Scanning
I don’t know how many sketchers there are out there, but I thought this might interest some photographers and imaging geeks. A while ago, I posted this question on Ask MetaFilter: Why do flatbed scanners seem to have so little dynamic range for sketches? I draw for fun, usually with a 0.5mm mechanical pencil. I…

Problème des barres noires résolu
Aujourd’hui, un nouveau commit apparaît dans Kiddo’s Lightbox Gallery: un grand merci à Mark «MagicalTux» Karpèles pour avoir réécrit ma monstruosité de code en quelque chose de beaucoup plus simple et robuste. Le problème: mon code était un spaghetti ingérable et dont la logique n’était pas infaillible. Ainsi, dans certaines situations, il était possible de produire…

Hello, PiTiVi happenings, Sintel
Hello Planet GNOME (thanks Lucas for adding me)! You may know me from the Specto or PiTiVi projects, or as your worst bugzilla nightmare: That’s it for my introduction, if you really care about who I am besides a bug infantryman, you can take a look at my home page (make sure your browser is…

Tutoriel de VPN pour l'Université de Montréal mis à jour
Le temps file quand on s’amuse. Originalement écrit en 2007 pour Ubuntu 6.06 jusqu’à 8.04, mon article VPN avait pris la poussière depuis Ubuntu 8.10 (où l’on retrouvait Network-Manager 0.7). Toutefois, je maintiens mes articles (et les ordinateurs de mes proches) uniquement avec les versions LTS d’Ubuntu (sinon c’est un travail sans fin). Conséquemment, avec…

More bug triaging
I have requested additional super cow powers on GNOME bugzilla to be able to do some serious bug triaging in PiTiVi’s bug list. I have Touched approximately 70 bugs or more today (out of ~230 initially), spending approximately 5.5 hours doing bug triaging and hunting (according to hamster) Confirmed many unconfirmed bugs Updated target milestones…
