I don’t know about you, but I have on a lot of different places a directory called ‘hg’ with lot of different mercurial clones inside. Whether on the home of my several computers for my own projects, or inside other directories for external projects, and so on.
Now, remember one important aspect of distributed source control [...]

Really, I seem to be fond of activity graphs those days. I have reused part of this previous code, but this time I parse the emerge log file to display the activity of your successful emerges. Think of it as a graphical view of ‘genlop -l’.
Those examples are the emerge activity of my two main [...]

Opale was an application written using koffice that I use to handle my personal accounts. Long ago I have dropped support for koffice (mainly because of the crappy/undocumented/buggy chart API) and since then opale was a kde-based application.
One year ago, i have started porting it to kde4, and, meanwhile, made it a Qt4 application. Using [...]

While developing my recently released activity mercurial extension (and here too), I did a lot of tests on some quite famous/big projects. I’ve found the results to be quite interesting and decided to put up this gallery. Are you interested in the history of commits for kde, linux, django, portage(software), and others?
warning : this is [...]

Today I have added options to the mercurial activity extension and it is now possible the activity displayed for every author. It looks like this :

This is something i’ve really been missing for long in mercurial : a way to display the activity of a repository. No, ‘hg churn’ is not the right answer, I want an idea of when the peaks of development happened. So I have written this small extension. It is based on matplotlib, so you’ll need [...]

I’m not a gentoo fan. Mainly because I don’t like the idea of being a ‘fan’. Being a fan in the Free Software world usually means being an extremist and i hate extremism.
I nonetheless use almost exclusively Gentoo on all computers, laptops, servers and other divx boxes I have or maintain. That means a lot [...]

Distributed source control is really great, and among them, the tool I love the most is, by far, mercurial. I use it for all my free software projects, my own non-software projects (config files, mathematical articles and such) and also, dare I say it, for my CLOSE SOURCE projects. Yes, I also do this kind [...]

You’re going to think that I’m some kind of web shortcut maniac, but I really think I’m not.
I’m using http://packages.larrythecow.org a lot, and only today did I think about creating a konqueror web shortcut to get there faster. I’ve called it ‘gt’ (for gentoo, yes, i’m that lazy), and the magic url thinguy is
http://packages.larrythecow.org/?v=search&s=\{@}
Now I [...]

You all know the web shortcuts for konqueror, don’t you ? (like gg: or wp: when you want to use google or wikipedia in alt-f2 or konqueror).
Well, I find this really useful, but theres none for youtube (in kde 3 at least, I haven’t checked kde4 yet). This is really easy to do. Go in [...]
