montone hackery

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

As promised a few days ago I'm writing a few words on the Monotone Summit which took place in Wuppertal from 28th of April to 4th of May 2008. I could only attend for five days because my train left already on early saturday morning, and I almost managed to ...

If you like to have a laugh today, read this. Found via Rob Weir's blog. The Monotone Summit goes on and its quite fun to meet and work with all the people I just know from IRC or the mailing list. I mostly worked on automation stuff so far and improved ...

guitone 0.7, my Qt-based monotone GUI, has just been released today. Most of the changes over the past 9+ months since the latest major version are under the hood, so there are only a few "new" things you can actually see (most notably the file history browser, a new icon set ...

Step by step

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Over the last few months I've worked on a new monotone interface for guitone from time to time. This new interface supersedes the old one in a couple of aspects; the most important one is that it runs the monotone processes in separate QThreads instead of the main GUI thread. ...

Projects, projects, projects!

Monday, July 9th, 2007

Last week my copy of Anno 1701 for the Nintendo DS dropped in and I instantly remembered the happy days when I played the original version for the PC, Anno 1602. While the gameplay is pretty much the same, graphics have been improved a bit and the product circuits got ...
