http://gregarei.com Thu, 02 Oct 2008 06:14:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en My blog has moved to http://blog.greghaynes.net.  This is due to issues I have run into while transferring Wordpress to my new server.  Although there are many applications which do just this, some interesting choices by the Wordpress developers don't allow it to run using the software I would like (most ... http://gregarei.com/2008/10/new-blog/ Its been a couple weeks since I last blogged about Kobby, and much has happened since then.  In my last post I was having issues implementing a Qt socket event plugin for libinfinity, but thanks to some advice from Armin Burgmeier I was able to get this working very quickly.  ... http://gregarei.com/2008/08/kobby-gsoc-connections-and-browsing-support/ There has been a lot of development work this past week with Kobby.  After posting about some design issues I was attempting to clear up before diving into code, Armin Burgmeier (Creator of infinote) pointed out that the term 'session' in infinote is used to describe the editing 'session' of ... http://gregarei.com/2008/07/gsoc-kobby-week-8/ After over a month of working on a C++ wrapper for the infinote libraries I was finally able to start development of the collaborative editing KTextEditor plugin this week.  Its amazing what getting to see some of your development work in action, no matter how little, can do for inspiration.  ... http://gregarei.com/2008/07/gsoc-phase-2-kobby-development/ Now that exams are over I have been able to spend the past week getting to really work on my GSOC project. In this time I created a c++ wrapper for libinfnity, which is the library my project will be using. The git repository can be found on ... http://gregarei.com/2008/06/introducing-libinfinitymm/ This week I have been working on creating a C++ wrapper for libinfinity. The library uses a gobject API and is very extensible, so ditching it in favor of a non-glib library would be a real waste. Luckily, there are tools like gmmproc (an internal glibmm tool) which ... http://gregarei.com/2008/06/wrapping-libinfinity/ For this year's Google Summer of Code I will be creating a KTextEditor plugin which allows for collaborative document editing. The proposal abstract can be found at http://code.google.com/soc/2008/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=9433F3446323A693. The goal of this project is to bring in editor collaboration to KDE. This will allow users to share document trees and ... http://gregarei.com/2008/05/kobby-collaborative-editing/ This week I hacked out an extremely trivial chat room client and server in java.  The protocol is very close to xmpp, where all messages are in XML and contained within a message tag.  The server model is pretty simple: it just rebroadcasts all messages recieved to all users.  Eventually ... http://gregarei.com/2008/04/trivial-java-chatroom-client-server/
