Social Connect QML plugin: access Facebook, Twitter from your Qt/QML applications
Social Connect is a library written in Qt that allows applications to easily connect to services like Facebook and Twitter . Recently I had the opportunity to work on this library improving it and adding support for Instagram (work is still in progress but it’s almost finished)

Off the Record Messaging: A Tutorial
OK, a rather long post about effective digital communication. Hopefully an interesting read to folks who would like to add some code to protect communications but haven’t gotten around to that TODO item just yet. A commonly used method for sending messages to others when you need authentication and privacy is to use an OpenPGP tool such as GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG)

Tizen Conference 2012, first days
The Linux Foundation sponsored me to travel to and attend the Tizen Conference 2012 in San Francisco and as part of this sponsorship, I’ll be blogging about the conference and my insights and thoughts of the talks and keynotes at it. While some parts may seem negative, please keep reading as I have a point with those parts that is illustrated later on. While some people might think that I see Mer as a competitor to Tizen, or think that I don’t like Tizen, in fact, I see the benefit of Tizen for the entire open source community that they’re pushing a proper, fast and working, standards compliant web runtime for Linux based devices
Aura
In the last weeks Miguel , Calvaris and myself, developed an application for the N9/N950 mobile phone and we called it Aura . Basically it uses the device’s camera (either the main one or the frontal one) for video recording, as a normal camera application, but also it exposes a set of effects that can be applied, in real time, to the video stream. For example, here is a video using the historical effect: Aura is inspired in the Gnome application, Cheese , and it uses many of the effects available in Gnome Video Effects .
Mixed QML/C++ objects reloaded
Some days ago I was writing about how to have mixed QML/C++ objects in a QML application, but I faced a problem with the code that I had written. And the problem was that I needed to receive some events and from the QML elements I was loading.
Qt 5.1, aka: when QFileSystemWatcher might not be so useless
With 5.0 now being feature frozen, I thought I’d turn myself towards something I’ve been meaning to do (and talking about doing) for a very long time. Back before the Qt Project launched, even before Qt Contributors Summit 2011, in fact.
