Summa is Getting Close

After my last post, it seems a few people are interested in Summa. I’m pleased to announce that 0.1 will be out “soon”. Don’t worry—I’ll be sure to let you all know the minute it does.

However, for release, there are a few pre-requisites we need to fix: namely, icons. Simply put, the icons we are using at the moment are “place-holders” (ideally).

Right now, here are the icons we need:

Why yes, it is doable.

I’m not even sure we want to consider making a Cocoa# UI for it yet. ;)

"College Experience": Continued

It’s been a while since I posted last.

That tends to happen when one is busy.

I’m settled in here at Georgia Tech now—enjoying my classes and what-have-you. Naturally, this has cut down a little bit of my personal, and GSoC, time; however, things still don’t seem to be falling too far behind. I anticipate that I’ll be back ahead of schedule in no time.

The "College Experience" -- Whatever That Means

I just had a thought. Well, rather, I had a thought of particular interest to myself (I have uninteresting thoughts frequently enough).

I’m headed off to college in little more than a day and a half, yet I’m not entirely, 100% sure that I’m all set as far as supplies and whatnot.

That’s where you (whomever you may be) come in.

GSoC: Week Two

Week Two is on the trek, and it’s forging a trail through my few days of summer with machete in hand.

Where does that leave our hero (I’m modest—I swear!) and his code?

The bindings are near done. There’s a few issues with GAPI that are getting sorted out today/tomorrow (timezones and what-not), but other than that they’re pretty much good to go. Tomorrow I plan to finish my hand-sketches of the UI and scan them so I can get some feedback from my mentor (Xavier).

Meh, Bah, Eh

Life is kind of a royal pain in the backside.

Not unlike sitting on poison oak, really. Except without the itching.

All in all, there really aren’t nearly enough onomatopoeic sounds to reflect life in general.
