Day Planner 0.9 has been released. It is available for download as a Mandriva RPM, Ubuntu deb, Debian deb, generic installer and source tarball.
The release focused primarily on fixes and cleanups. A bunch of minor bugs were fixed, and I rewrote most of the iCalendar back-end. It should be faster now and preserves files better [...]
I’ve added automatic development snapshots of Day Planner to the Day Planner homepage. There are currently three different branches (trunk, next stable, current stable) being built, in two flavours (tarball and installer). The snapshots are updated twice each day and are available at http://www.day-planner.org/index.php/download/snapshot. Feel free to take them for a spin.
Today is the second anniversary of the Day Planner project. So hurray for Day Planner, and here’s to all the great releases to come.
In other related news, I’ve just released a development snapshot of Day Planner 0.9.
It is available at http://www.day-planner.org/index.php/download/devsnapshot. It contains all of the developed features for 0.9 (including the unfinished maemo port), [...]
I’ve finally taken the time to prepare a website for all the various programs and scripts I’ve got in use here that the world might also find some use for. The address, right now, is http://random.zerodogg.org, though once I find some more imaginative name I’ll probably move it, but for now it’s random.
Everything mentioned is [...]
Okay, I gave up on the point of getting the perl bindings for gtk2 going.
It was just too much work, and would not only require getting the gtk2 bindings going, but also writing bindings for hildon, the maemo-specific stuff.
So I went to plan B, which was to reimplement a maemo-specific GUI in python that just [...]
It’s finally here, and I’m loving it so far :).
Tried some basic stuff, installed ssh+scp and tried ScummVM on it. All running nicely.
Now I’m about to move to the hard part, getting Day Planner actually ported to the thing.
The gtk2 perl bindings still don’t have a maemo port. I’m going to have a go at [...]
Day Planner 0.8 was released on the 1st of January (2008).
The primary focus of this release was getting some new technology in there and cleaning up old stuff.
The daemon (or “reminder” as it is called in the user-facing UI) was rewritten from the ground up. The new one is a lot more flexible, and less [...]
Yay!
I’ve been picked as one of the lucky 500 that will recieve a Nokia N810 at a heavily discounted price.
My initial plans will be to investigate ways of porting Day Planner to maemo. Because there are no Gtk2 perl bindings for Maemo at the moment, as far as I know. I’m going to have a [...]
Day Planner debs are now available on http://www.day-planner.org/. Both for Debian and Ubuntu (in addition to the already available Mandriva RPM and generic installer).
Creating a deb was interesting, as I had never done that before - used to rpm packaging, though I got a lot of help by Morten Werner Olsen.
The packaging also uncovered quite [...]
Today, the 19th of April, it is exactly one year since the first release of Day Planner, 0.1, was released. The first release was, as expected, pretty buggy. But it has since grown into a stable and useful program and has seen major improvements since the first release. I just recently released version 0.6 which [...]
I’ve been thinking of a method of creating simple configuration UIs.
Take the following config file:
RunMode = Inetd
AuthMode = Closed
Restricted = true
To create a simple configuration GUI for this I would write something like this:
filename is /etc/example.conf
setting RUNMODE can be (Inetd, Daemon)
setting AUTHMODE can be (Closed, Open)
option RunMode is RUNMODE with name “Run mode” and tooltip [...]
Packages are available from http://home.gna.org/dayplanner/download.html in addition to being in cooker. It fixes a lot of bugs.
Here’s an abriged changelog:
A bug that caused the entire program to go insensitive if you clicked the edit button without having any event selected was fixed. Daemon errors are handled better. A bug where day planner would freeze [...]
Just a little cool note. GoldenPod was featured in this month’s (April) issue of Linux journal in their podcasting article :).
I just recently released version 0.1 of my day planning app suitably named, well, day planner. It’s written in perl and uses the perl-gtk2 library. What I would like you (the readers of planet mandriva and/or my blog) to do is go test it. Poke it with long and small sticks, smash at it, punch [...]
In the beginning there was…blah, okay I won’t go that far. Though, the first host provider I used was SourceForge.net. I used that for three projects:
GFSGL, GFSI and GoldenFiles. Mostly random stuff there, not too large projects.
Then one day I thought about this and well, using a proprietary website to produce and manage a [...]
CCP 0.3 is out! The major new feature in this release is the addition of automatic uncommenting support.
CCP will now try to detect which options the user has uncommented from –oldfile and automatically uncomment them in the resulting –newfile. This should *greatly* decrease the amount of oprhaned options that occurs. Also added is an automatic [...]
Now this is quite cool, Davide Duina (I think I spelled it right! :) of http://mandrakeitalia.org/ has posted an Italian translation of my SSH tips and tricks.

This version contains multiple bugfixes, some which could cause various configuration files to not upgrade correctly. Among others, it fixes bug #15364.
In other news, the first package using CCP in Mandriva is out - which is squirrelmail :)
CCP version 0.1 has been released!
It can be downloaded from http://ccp.nongnu.org/download.html.
It’s also in Mandriva Linux (cooker) contrib.
The first package to use it is squirrelmail, which I updated today.
CCP can now autogenerate the templates, so it’s pretty much ready for real-life testing.
Here’s the same example used in earlier posts.
[0 zerodogg@drizzt ccp]$ cat example.conf
# Example configuration file
SystemVersion = 0.1
Mode = public
Extensions = off
[0 zerodogg@drizzt ccp]$ cat example.conf.rpmnew
# Example configuration file
SystemVersion = 0.1
Mode = private
Extensions = on
AllowUsers = yes
[0 zerodogg@drizzt ccp]$ ./ccp –oldfile example.conf –newfile [...]
