Tech Stuff

Programming

I've been doing Java and C for a couple of years now. I've worked with Python, PHP, and Javascript a little too. I'm using various GNOME apps as a way to practice C and learn GTK+ programming. Now I'm staring at Qt/C++ and going wondering why it looks so much not-like-C.

Karmic Goals

  1. Be useful enough to apply to MOTU right after Karmic releases and not be laughed at

Code/Patches

Adding minimum speed, maximum speed, and acceleration to GSynaptics was my first patch. It's not in the (very old) version 0.9.5 that's in Hardy, though. I packaged up 0.9.14 to take care of it for Hardy. It is in Intrepid.

Bug #215729 was the first bug I helped fix.

First kernel patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/13/346

Currently working on...

Add an option for a gradient background in gnome-panel ... nevermind. GNOME's replacing gnome-panel anyway so it's no use Sad :( For school, I intend to make KSign, a sign-language-teaching tool for KDEedu. Celeste keeps giving me KDE paperkuts.

My PPA

Add 

deb     http://ppa.launchpad.net/maco.m/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/maco.m/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse

to your /etc/apt/sources.list and then sudo apt-get update Currently, my PPA has Twitux 0.61 and GSynaptics 0.9.14 for Hardy.
