HomeI enjoy writing software. I especially enjoy writing software in Python and/or with Qt .
Here is the list of all my free software projects to date :
Active projects :
- PyTiCroque : Useful if you play to CroqueMonster . It notifies CroqueMonster events in the taskbar.
- IndentFinder : find the indentation of any text file, and set your vi editor to use it
Stalled projects :
Those projects are stopped but still useful and in a useable state :
- Klotski : a very small game
- VimWrapper : remotely control the vi editor
Dead projects :
Those projects are stopped, dead. Some of them never had any workeable implementation, others are dead simply because there is no reason to use them anymore.
- Vy : an attempt to write a vi clone in Python.
- Yzis : attempt to write a full vi clone with Thomas, Mikmak and a few others. Dead but we went as far as to have something. However, maintaining syntax highlighting code, display engine, optimising internal buffer access all sort of other stuff is quite time consuming. The project also lacked good stewardship and focus.
- KVim : first project with Thomas and Mikmak. There is no longer any website, but we did port the Vim editor to Qt & KDE. The problem was that Vim internal structure did not played well with Qt’s event loop.
- LuaUnit : Yzis was using Lua for its scripting language. A fine choice, but Lua was missing a good unit-testing library. So, I wrote a quick one. I don’t maintain it these days, but it’s still working.
- KeepCool : a program to freeze gcc compilations to let your CPU rest. Written during a hot summer when I was upgrading my gentoo. I no longer run gentoo, so not so useful now…
- PrettyMake : a long dead project, which would simplify and colorize the output of make when compiling KDE. It was before CMake times.
- KMerge : a long long dead project, it was a Text comparison and merging program written for KDE 1.
As you can see, I have more dead projects than alive projects. That’s what happens when you grow up and have less spare time.
