SeriesFinale 0.6.9
Yup, after some months, here is a new version of SeriesFinale . This new version doesn’t have many new features but brings an important one related to my previous blog post: the context menu . When long-pressing a show or a season, a dialog will be shown with some actions
Long press GTK+ TreeView on Maemo
Yesterday was a holiday so I got some time to hack a bit in SeriesFinale. One of the things I wanted to do was to have a context menu for shows and seasons.
Mixing QML and MeeGoTouch
When trying to invoke a MeeGoTouch application’s MSheet from a QML app, I was getting the following error: There is no instance of MDeviceProfile. Please create MComponentData first.
What community?
With the announcement of Tizen (pronounced, I learned, tie-zen, not tea-zen or tizz-en) recently, I headed over to the website to find out who the project was aimed at. I read this on the “Community” page: The Tizen community is made up of all of the people who collectively work on or with Tizen: Product contributors: kernel/distribution developers, release managers, quality assurance, localization, etc.

SwipEout – Python + OpenGL ES 2.0 on the N950 (and N900!)
Last weekend I’ve been toying around with Open GL ES 2.0 on the N950 after finding a nice Xlib-based Python example on the web for the N900. I modified the code a bit, replaced the Xlib code with a QGLWidget from QtOpenGL (via PySide), which makes the setup a lot easier and (apart from API differences of GL ES 2.0 and Desktop GL) allows me to test the prototype on my normal computer as well

howto
The following text is from the introduction of the HOWTO I’ve written explaining how to modify a program to use Woodchuck. The focus is on the Python interface, but it should be helpful to anyone who wants to modify an application to use Woodchuck. This document, unlike the detailed documentation , should be a bit easier to digest if you are just getting started with Woodchuck.
