Emacs-uncrustify emacs extension had some small but cool contributions by Gordon Read (thanks, man!).
It has now a customization group with variables holding:
path to uncrustify’s configuration file
arguments to be passed to uncrustify
boolean flaging if uncrustify should be applyed on a buffer on save
We also have two different functions, now. The uncrustify one does the same — uncrustifies a region. There’s also uncrustify-buffer, now, as a shortcut for applying it to the whole buffer.
Finally, a c-mode-common-hook was added, which will apply uncrustify on the buffer if and only if that third variable is set.
This is a quick post for all of you Enlightenment developers and users (the latter also willing to adhere to that weird coding style). The named coding style, which seems to historically have come from Rasterman’s text editor, Jed, has been recently been called for a standardization/modification by means of an uncrustifyconfiguration file.
While the file itself is still not perfect (there are “indentation bugs” yet), I wanted to have my editor — Emacs — to help me to adapt to that thing. So, I present you with a crude first attempt at it: http://github.com/glima/Emacs-uncrustify. Patches are obviously welcome.
By the way, exciting news are emerging from E-land, so stay tuned for hot hot new stuff, soon.
As some people might already know, Profusion has been working on a new Edje editor, intended to replace the one there was on Enlightenment’s subversion repository. I’m now participating more actively in its development and, besides that, I did help with an early version of its user manual.
It will be fixed/revamped incrementally, so that even at development stage we can have users able to do their GUI creation jobs done with it.
Stay tuned for more news on EFL applications development infrastructure soon.
As part of my job activities back in August 2009, I wrote an introductory document on the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries as a client request. It is now being publicly released, hosted at Enlightenment Project’s subversion repository.
You can find a rendered version here, too, but I can’t promise how often it is going to be updated. The idea is have this document accessible by Enlightenment project’s website both in PDF and HTML formats. Ideally, both forms would be updated by a cron job or something. We’ll work on that soon.
Feel free to contribute to it, if you wish (license is Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0) and, of course, to read it. This is one more step into making the EFL more accessible and recognized worldwide by GUI application developers.
Gustavo has already announced it, but here I come with just a few more words about it: Profusion has been working on a multimedia platform over Canola2, intended for in-car entertainment. After playing around with Canola, itself, a time ago, it has also been fun to work with this adaptation/expansion too!
I’ve managed to learn edje more and to grasp its full theming potencial. It rocks! We have architectural improvements on Canola which can be upstreamed, not far from now, I guess. One of the coolest additions was the total replacement of its thumbnailer with Profusion’s own one: Ethumb. This is a library which will soon be officially announced (it is already in Enlightenment’s code repository, but we would like to complete some small TODOs befoure going into 1.0). Besides many other things you can get with this (highly optimized) lib there are thumbnails with edje (objects) overlay borders and animated thumbnails of video files .
Following Etrunko, who was the most rushed , I must announce that Canola 2, a media player for the Nokia tablets (but not restricted to them!), was set free! It is now available under GPLv3 and its code can be reached here. There you’ll find some instructions on how to build it, made by Etrunko.
I must only warn some of you that, for reasons already raised by Etrunko there, to this date there seems to be issues regarding some of the EFL python bindings. You are encouraged to wait a little bit, until they are fixed, help to fix them or try to stick to a revision older them Enlightenment repo’s HEAD (can’t say which will work). Profusion is also going to post instructions on how to build it, it won’t take long.
Another important thing is that Google Summer of Code 2009 did accept Maemo as one of its organizations. There are project ideas on Canola 2 plugins and I have applied as a mentor to one of them. I (glima) would joyfully embrace any plugin idea on Canola, but I’m specially interested on musical stuff (blip.fm anyone, now that last.fm has lost most of it charm?) .
Finally, we hope you all enjoy hacking on Canola 2, which is a great piece of software!
ps.: Besides the title, no relation to catholicism (and no puns, either ) intended!
So, as most of you Maemo users and developers must have seen, another release of Canola 2 is out in the extras-devel repository, which was called beta11. It’s been fun to work on it! It is, for sure, one of the greatest media players out there. Soon you’ll also have the pleasure of contributing to the project, the source code release is approaching (we all hope, hehe).
All in all it’s been very exciting to work here, at Profusion. The whole team is too cool and very skilled. So, I finish this quick post, while listening to Johnny Cash on Canola, promising new cool stuff is coming out from Profusion soon, stay tuned.
Depois de uma longa jornada de cinco anos, mais um engenheiro de computação no globo. Agora, bola pra frente e preparação para continuar lidando com computação (no mínimo profissionalmente) para o resto da vida.
Pelo menos já venho pensando em como será minha lápide:
Como rodei um bocado pra achar um jeito de fazer isto, fica aqui registrado, para ajudar em futuras buscas.

A bosta de se viver num mundo de software proprietário se torna mais visível quando palas destas acontecem. O formato de imagem de CD do citado aplicativo para Windows, por ser proprietário, não tem um equivalente livre para manejá-lo. Até existe uma ferramenta que faz um serviço experimental, mas meio porquinho, o ccd2iso. No entanto, a solução para fazer a coisa direito é recorrer à combinação Wine + UltraISO. Este último sabe como converter para o formato bin/cue, por exemplo, que o K3B grava “com o pé nas costas”, como diria um professor meu.
Bom, é isso aí. Se baixar algum torrent de jogo de Playstation por aí, não desanime mais, se a imagem tiver sido extraída por aquele programa escroto. Tem recurso
Caramba, como que uma coisa assim aparece e só dois anos depois a gente conhece.

Estava eu acabando de ver um videozinho que dizia que foi o Africa Bambaataa que trouxe o funk para a música eletrônica (obrigado, fitas), quando descobri o grupo cujo nome está no título do artigo. Sempre rola hipocrisia e desinformação num grupinho que se acha entendido, no país, que senta o pau no movimento funk carioca, como forma musical. Desses, a maioria nem sabe o que é funk, então deixa pra lá. Eu adoro quando me lembro de ter visto que o povo do Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (agora só Blues Explosion), quando esteve no Brasil, ao ver uma apresentação de funk carioca, disse que era melhor que Dire Straits, por exemplo Eu, como amante de funk, reconheço a musicalidade dos cariocas, mesmo achando-a inferior ao swing “clássico” do funk norte-americano. E me divirto com a originalidade cultural do movimento.
Sabia que, mais dia, menos dia, a música deles seria fagocitada por gente com influências e referências internacionais (leia-se cair na mão de preibóis). E não é que aconteceu, em 2005? Surge esse trio curitibano prá lá de insano, mandando muito bem. Embora lembrem um pouco o estilo de Cansei de Ser Sexy (também com vocalista provocante e gostosinha atraente), eles os superam e muito. Fazem uma salada mista, com samples mais inusitados, riffs de guitarra e o escambau no meio do batidão funk a la carioca. Nos samples tem até o próprio Cansei de Ser Sexy e tem muita referência a clássicos do funk carioca, claro. Tem até referência ao Africa Bambaataa, explícita, se quer saber (misturada com Carmem Miranda). Simplesmente demais. É lógico que caiu no gosto da gringada.
Brasil é assim, música daqui mexe com o mundo. Apesar do longo período de pouca coisa que presta pelo qual passamos (ainda não saimos, oh my God), temos estilos e idéias que só nego tupiniquim mesmo. Não tô falando que isso aqui é 100% brasuca e tal, claro que tem gente lá fora que faz música escrachada no estilão (Peaches, por exemplo), mas… você me entende.
Vejam os três clipes.
E, pra fechar com chave de ouro, veja este, não oficial.
