A few updates

I’m still trying to get over the stress of graduating, dreaming (every night!) of having yet to do exams in order to graduate doesn’t help though. I’m working on my projects at a slower pace, fixing a few bugs here and there before the release of EnvyNG. I have designed a new system for URandR […]

Call for translations (for EnvyNG 1.1.0)

Dear users of EnvyNG, if you want to help to translate EnvyNG (1.1.0) into your native language you can contribute by using Rosetta’s web interface. The Italian translation is complete.

I graduated again

I experimented a bit also with chatterbots and I had corrected and modified Joe Strout’s therapist (written in Python), added a few more patterns and added the support for Espeak (a voice synthesiser). I had to present my work […]

Updates on URandR

A few days ago I decided to have a deeper look at the API of the Python bindings for Xrandr (pyxrandr) written by Sebastian Heinlein and Michael Vogt. While I must admit that they did a good work with the bindings I’m still not completely satisfied with what I can do with them. This is […]
