Ohloh Journal

Jb Evain — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:39:00 +0200

I’ve recently noticed that ohloh now allows you to publish a journal, made of short entries (less than 400 characters).

It feels more specialized than twitter, and pretty useful to log short updates on what I am hacking on, or short news for a project. For instance, Sébastien already started using it to publish short news about Gendarme.

That looks pretty nice to me, let see what ends up in my ohloh journal.

Old boxes

While Miguel was having fun discovering new games, I saved from the dust a few precious boxes.

Now that they’re safe, I can go back to play Mass Effect.

We're back baby

After having undergone a month of technical difficulties, this blog is back online. Sorry for the turbulences. More technical content to follow. Happy new year!

A handful of useful scripts

Jb Evain — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:16:00 +0200

I've just uploaded a zip file containing a handful of scripts I use in my every day routine.

cleol: Clean the end of lines of the files passed as arguments. Accept ruby wildcards (such as * or **/*). That will replace the windows style line endings by unix style line endings, but will also remove useless white-spaces.
clprop: Clean the svn properties of the files passed as arguments. Accept ruby wildcards (such as * or **/*). That will remove the svn:executable properties, and set the svn:eol-style to native to the files.
svnci: My own script that prompt me my favorite lightweight editor to edit my ChangeLog entries.
monoport: I've detailed this one in this blog entry. I recently added to it the possibility to get a monoport entry printed to stdout. Typically, it allows me to apply patches directly from monoport:
```
monoport -g:4512 | patch -p0
```
Requires the cute library hpricot.

Move, done.

I moved back to Lyon.

Reflexil will rock your IL

Sébastien Lebreton, friend and Reflexil’s author published a nifty article on codeproject, which explains to the mass how to look clever in society, by inserting wisely chosen opcodes in your methods.

As a matter of fact, this article has first be written in French, and published on the TechHeadBrothers web site.

What’s really brilliant is that Reflexil uses Mono.Cecil to perform the mutations of the assemblies you’ll create.
