gweeber rules!, originally uploaded by markuz.

I'm using gwibber., a really nice application that solves one problem with microblogging: A multi-protocol client. This small app, looks good, and works better, I can see Flickr updates, twitter, identi.ca, and updates on my facebook page. If you use two of this services you should use gwibber

<![CDATA[ Christine using 6Mb ]]>

screenshot3.png, originally uploaded by markuz.

This is a screenshot quite surprising for me, this is the gnome-system-monitor saying that christine uses just 6Mb of my RAM. I was looking for memory leaks in one of the applications that I'm currently developing in ICT Consulting, and I found that the memory used by one program, that memory that just belongs to the program is the Writeable memory and that is the memory you should be aware.

I have to say, christine was doing nothing, Just launch it and listen some music, then for one reason that I don't remember, just set it to pause and I get over another task, now, looking at the process table, christine is using more thatn 6 Mb.

btw.. Im using Christine 0.1.6.

Christine love in the night, originally uploaded by markuz.

1:47 in the morning. Im still giving some love to christine, that personal proyect that I used to code frequently. Now, it takes some days before I can toch it.

I'm working on the sqlite3 storage layer, This should help me with a more unified data between multiple "sources" that should be renamed as playlists. This will be usefull for many other features, I'm thinkin in some kind of browser.

Anyway, I'm still in the process. I'd like to share the code I have, but SourceForge.net's SVN service is bothering me with a 403 (Forbidden) error that don't let me commit my changes. Now I'm seriously change the project host. What do you recommend?

<![CDATA[ Christine importing a folder. ]]>

Christine importing a folder., originally uploaded by markuz.

I had worked on christine weeks ago, this week I had no time to give it some love. I have been using this "development" version (I think every version of christine is a development version) for a while.

Christine is faster at the load time, starting in just 4 seconds with at least 1500 items in the list, and the search and sort is quite fast too. But working with something like 6889 items in another 'source' I had make it a bit slow.

I think this is because christine use 3 models in the main list. Yes, three models. One is the main model, the one that holds all the library data. then the filter model and then the sort model. I'll try to make a model that implements in some way the filter and sort to reduce the work.

I notice that when you use a filter or even worse a filter and sort model ever time you select or move your cursor, or do anything with a row this process has to be done for every model you have. I mean, in christine you have to do it three times because of the three models. I think this sucks.

Well, I hope to have the time to write a bit on christine in this week.

<![CDATA[ Irony ]]>

Irony, originally uploaded by markuz.

In this week I had the task to look for a new bug tracker here at ICT Consulting, we used to have bugzilla, but it is a bit confusing. In my search I stop in the phpbugtracker site. Diving in, I found that many projects use PHPBT has their Bug and Issues tracker. Now I know why, its pretty easy to use, is really easy to search in the bug list.

Anyway, the screnshot you are looking above is the what I call Irony, Php bug tracker, a project for bug tracking use another bug tracking system, the Sourceforge.net Bug tracker. I think this is because then they have the statistics in the sourceforge statistics and they don't need to host the tracker. I don't think this is a bad idea, but it's funny.

<![CDATA[ What have I done in the last month ?? ]]> Well, as many of you know, this site, islascruz.org was "down", and I put down between quotes because wasn't really down, but, almost everybody uses islascruz.org and not islascruz.com, and that's ok. Anyway, islascruz.org is back again and I hope it never fails again.

Now, What have I done in the last month?, well, not blogging tongue.png . I have been using twitter but I had this need to post on my own site.

I had worked on christine, making it a little more usable, now,it loads in my computer in just a couple of seconds with a track list that is about 2600 rows, It uses a little less memory and I'm trying to make it better. But I'm working in some projects in the work (the paid work) and the idea to be working 8 hours in the office and get to the house to keep working isn't a very nice idea.

Christine in small view mode


dsc08103.jpgCristina and I get to the movies, we watch The Happening. Many people didn't like it, and I think this is because there is too much talk, too much death and almost no action. But the point in the movie is the message, we are hurting the planet, and we shouldn't. So, after the blablabla and the blood I like it, just by the message. We also watch Indiana Jones, and to be honest, I like it, but is not by far the most awesome movie I have seen.

As part of the "Leave the stress" activities cristina and I are doing, we are doing scented candles. We enjoy doing it, but the hard issue is cleaning the mess we do.

Well, I think I'm gonna leave this post here, my life is not that intersting. You should read somebody else personal posts..
