I released codespell 1.0.1 after a small fix that is really necessary for codespell working right. Thanks to Luis Felipe Strano that spot the bug and generated another giant patch to LLVM.

I’m glad to announce codespell 1.0! After 3 RCs and patches submitted to several projects, I thought it was stable enough to call it 1.0. You can download the 1.0 version below:

Seemy previous post if you are willing to know what codespell is or read the README file inside the package.

I have already filled a TODO file with ideas for the next version. They came to mind after I’ve generated a giant patch for the Linux kernel. It is the biggest patch I …

This week I’m in a release mood, so I’m releasing several projects I’m involved with. If you lost the first two, checkout dietsplash 0.3 and genslide 0.3 (though the announcement was in Portuguese).

After developing for several projects I’ve noticed most of them contain typos and misspellings. Even if this does not directly affect the source quality (unless the misspellings are in documentation), if we left the comment there, we’ve left it for a reason: because we want the reader of that code to stop and read it. It’s particularly good to …

I’m pleased to release a new version of dietsplash.  This is the first announcement for dietsplash, though it has always been open source software. Here it is, dietsplash 0.3.

dietsplash is a small boot splash screen for Linux. Its aim is to do the minimal work possible so you can see your system booting without getting bored about the messages going on (or better, your client doesn’t complain to you that it’s ugly to see all those messages). Its main target is embedded systems, where running a full/big splash like plymouth is an overkill. Special …

As some of you know, I’m working on some open source projects at ProFUSION. Among them there are two projects started by Intel that are now part of Meego. If you look at Meego Architecture you’ll see these components are a great part of the Communications domain.

In ConnMan ProFUSION made mainly some bug fixes and minor improvements while we were creating a binding for e_dbus and a module for E17. It’s working pretty well, it’s fast and reliable. Examining my logs in my desktop system I can see that in less than a second ConnMan …

Endereços de email são muitas vezes mascarados na web para que não sejam facilmente obtidos por programas que tem por objetivo enviar spam. É relativamente fácil escrever um programinha que fica vasculhando a web em busca de endereços de email, cadastrá-los em um banco de dados e depois utilizá-los como quisermos. Para que isso não ocorra, várias vezes nos deparamos com endereços de email passados como “joao AT gmail DOT com” ou alguma coisa do tipo.  Outra técnica muito utilizada é transformá-lo em uma imagem. Dessa forma o programinha malicioso que a princípio era fácil se torna bem mais difícil …
