Going to a football game
Leaving to see a football (American football) game in about an hour.To avoid dealing with parking hassles my wife and I are going to ride the bus to the stadium and back.
SPC Gstreamer plugin
I’ve got it sort of working. No code release yet because it takes oh, say, 70% more of my CPU than a simple spcplay, (that and I’ve hardcoded in the filename), but I’m too tired to hack on it further.
kfile_spc, and website development
Video games and the SPC file format
I was part of an interesting discussion on #kde-devel tonight regarding the joys of video game music. The discussion eventually turned around to music for one of the best gaming consoles in history, the Super Nintendo. Enterprising emulator authors have taken advantage of the wonderful sound hardware of the Super Nintendo to come up with a file format for Super Nintendo music tracks, called SPC.
KIO
I was adding KIO support to Tacky (my Pyblosxom blogger) today, and was impressed with how easy the transition was. The only complaints I had were that there is no NetAccess function for getting a list of files and/or directories from a URL, and that writing a file involves a dance with a temp file and then file_copy(). Although I suppose that last one can’t really be helped. ;)
My near car wreck
I can’t believe I forgot to blog about this. About a week ago I almost got into a car accident. I was driving down the road when someone decided to turn right in front of me into a side street.
Happy Thanksgiving
I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving, even if you aren’t here in the United States. There’s nothing like huge family gatherings twice in the span of a month. ;-)
Finding out what C++ symbols are in a library.
I was debugging a problem today that required me to find out what symbols were in a .so dynamic library. Being C++ symbols, the output from objdump wasn’t really very helpful. So in the interest of spreading my knowledge, I will now share the technique that worked for me with you guys:
This sucks
I won’t have much time for KDE development for probably the next month or so due to the fact that I have a ton of assignments to do, including extending an SQL engine in Java in a month. Hmm, that leads me into a rant.
For those wondering where I was today
I was at the hospital. I am now an uncle, as my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy today. In what is mostly likely related news, I am incredibly tired, and transferring DV video to DVD in Linux is harder than I thought.
