Crazy Busy
I’m going to have to keep these next upcoming posts short. I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment, with the sheer amount of things going on at the same time. I still want to try to keep going forward on the projects already in progress. But I will not add anything new to my…

Kicking Tires
This week, I’ve started working on my delayed projects again. I feel exhausted from the week. But I also can not wait to play around with my projects. Learning Qt I’ve always admired the KDE and Qt developers. They make some of the most innovative and interesting technology in the consumer-desktop-mobile land. I’ve decided to…

Spring Weather Motivation
I am enjoying the spring-like weather of the past few days. After the harsh cold of winter, sun and warmer air are weclome reliefs. I get to spend more time outside. Not as much as I’d like to, but still. The weather not only motivates me to exercise more. I started yesterday with a short…

justCheckers on Hold – Again – Kinda
I’m putting my involvement with the justCheckers project on hold for a while. Progress ground to a halt when I started to dig into the code. In its current state most of the application’s core functionality needs reworking. Meaning to go forward someone would need to reimplement slides and jumps that allows for multiple jumps…

Experimental Web Application Branch
Yesterday I started upon moving justCheckers into a web application. I didn’t want to pollute the trunk of the subversion repository. So I created the webappbranch. You can grab it by running: svn checkout https://justcheckers.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/justcheckers/branches/webapps My next major task to tackle is updating the documentation on the wiki and in the source code. After that…

Reopening the justCheckers Project
Made the plunge today into FOSS development again. As I mentioned in my previous post, I considered and started work on the next version of justCheckers. There are a few reasons why I restarted the project. I want to play around with Java web technologies. I also want to experiment with project management and FOSS…

Maemo Hacking and Project Revivals
With such a cold wet summer, I thought I would spend more time hacking. Yet this year spare time is a scarce commodity and most of that time I find myself far from a proper development workstation. Fortunately with an Internet tablet in my pocket, I can at least start on learning about Maemo development.…

Todo Progress So Far
Remember my TODO list for this year? No, I’m not gonna tell you when I posted it. And no if you find it, you are not allowed to post a link or a hint to it. If you are long time reader and you found it, consider yourself part of the in-crowd. So how well…
