Last exam

26 June 2007 / apol

Well, today I have done my last exam for this term. And yes, that makes me very happy.

In the last days I’ve done some important changes to KAlgebra. Mostly I changed the Console so that it shows the output expressions in HTML instead of a QListWidget. You can see how does it look like here. Also I have fixed some (quite big) bugs, haven’t had more time for it.

In the other hand, I’ve been working on an initial view avout cmake variables for my summer of code, I’ll begin my rush with it these days… 🙂

And now, looking forward to the aKademy!!!

Updating myself

6 June 2007 / apol

Something like a month has passed since the last time I posted and someone asked me for a little update, then here we go.

Last month some important things (in my KDE life) happened. The first one is that KAlgebra was moved to KDE-Edu leaving kdereview module. I’m feel very excited with that, I’ve worked a lot on it and i like that someone uses it. Said that, I’d like to thank Anne-Marie Mahfouf for supporting me and the KAlgebra idea. If someone wants to know more about KAlgebra, you can try it from svn :P. I’ll talk about KAlgebra in the Akademy’s Edu and School day.

The second one is that I’ve begun working on my Summer of Code project and it is taking shape.

My main problem now is that I’ll be very busy in the next 20 days. Next week I begin exams and they will last until the 25th.

Bye!

C/C++ dependencies

7 May 2007 / apol

So I decided that I wasn’t busy enough and I began to work with a little geeky project. I already don’t have a name for it (if someone has an idea please tell me!) but its goal is to graphically represent the recursive dependencies of every file in your C/C++ project.

I used the gnu c preprocessor to parse the files and Java to write it. Yes! Java to write a C-related project, it is a bit bizarre but it has its explaination. I used a module to represent these graphs that I made last quarter for the university and I didn’t want to write anything else.
Just to know, anybody knows a free nice and cool widget for Java or C++ that lets me represent graphs?

Anyway, you can find this project here, I’m planning to ask for a liitle room on sourceforge but I don’t know if I’ll keep on it so I haven’t asked for it yet. Some screenshots here.

Hello Planet KDE

25 April 2007 / apol

Hello everyone, I am new to this planet. My name is Aleix Pol and I am a Computer Science student in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). Nowadays I am involved in KDE in two ways: KDE-Edu and KDevelop’s Summer of Code.

Third time lucky

12 April 2007 / apol

Yes, I’ve submitted proposals for the Google Summer of Code for the last three years and this one my proposal has been accepted so I’ll spend this summer (among other things ;)) to bring cmake support to KDevelop 4.

Stack state drawing

18 March 2007 / apol

These days while doing my Operating System Project (PROSO) I rescued a project I made a year and a half ago, while I was learning x86 ASM. It can output the resulting stack representation to the console (text) or html which looks far better. It may be useful if you’re learning x86 ASM. Syntax used in the output is the AT&T one, which is the gnu standard.

If you want to check it, you can look here.

Let’s play a bit

28 February 2007 / apol

Yes, finally KAlgebra entered (with a dot hit🙂 to KDE edu’s playground with the intention to enter KDE edu in some way. I don’t know where KAlgebra is going to go, whether extragear or merged with Kmplot. If you want to try it, you’ll need cmake now and Qt4 as well of course. kdelibs4 is not still needed for KAlgebra, but for compiling the rest of playground/edu it is needed.

If you want to install it, you just have to install it as kde3to4 says or whatever you want. If you have any questions you can ask me here, by mail or by plane :).

How to try the new KAlgebra

25 January 2007 / apol

I am recruiting agressively people to try the new KAlgebra. Its in a beta state, things work but there may be some issues.
It has been tested in GNU/Linux (KUbuntu being precise), Mac OS X and Windows XP SP2. Yes, now it is really multiplatform. 🙂

To compile and use it you need to have Qt4 libraries (both execution and development) and a subversion client (subversion package on linux and tortoise svn in windows. On macos I used the same in linux, but it behaved in a strange way).
To download it and compile follow the next steps (unix way, other systems may differ the commands but the idea is the same):
mkdir kalgebra svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/kalgebra/trunk cd trunk qmake-qt4 make

Hope someone tries it, and if you do, please tell me about your experience :).

Call for testers

23 December 2006 / apol

A lot of time has passed by since my last post in this blog. The reason is that I’ve been busy with some University projects and I haven’t been able to tell anything here.

I am posting today because I’ve talked a lot about my new KAlgebra version and I like someone to try it out. Its on my svn trunk, very easy to compile (qmake && make). If you prefer me to give you an executable just tell me, now it is really multiplatform (I’ve got some for GNU/Linux, MacOS X (my computer is a macintel, i don’t know if its going to work for ppc), and windows). If someone could check it a bit would make me a great favour.

Thanks!

Some explanation

8 November 2006 / apol

It was a friday morning, between 8 and 10h when we (Alberto and me) were trying to do a PI practice. We were programming the card we use there so that it sent a key over the USB when a button was pressed in the same card. The problem was that we were sending a key and right after a backspace while waiting a bit so the user could see it.
