No, I’m not Dead. I’m just “very Busy” guys
A lot of things are happening at the same time: as soon as I have more time I’ll speak about it.

I’ll just make a list of things I would like to speak about… if I would have time to do so:

• My new Job in France Telecom R&D UK - Orange Labs and my work inside the Source of Webkit (and a bit of Opera)
• The fact that Joe Nocera was finally kicked in his balls by a proud Steve Jobs about his health
• Symbian going Open Source AND some (stupid?) rumors about Symbian “merging” with Android
• My aiming to buy a Samsung SM2032MW 20″ Widescreen TV Monitor- Black (that supports HDMI, DVI, RGB, SCART, 1080p/i and so on… (yes, for a PS3 ) )

But… I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing.
See you soon

Here we are. 0.2.
0.2 of nothing but a “divertissment” which help me to learn better and better the Cocoa Framework, and discover all the magic stuff it does.

The release notes is:

0.2 (2007-09-09)

Support for Italian, Spanish, French and German (Thanks to Manu).

New “Preferences” panel to set the “Default Currency” to convert from/to and the “Default Currency Ammount” to set at the application startup (Thanks to the Alhandra’s suggestion).

Remove a Bug in the “German Mark” definition (I wrote “Deutsche Mark” in the English version )

One important aspect I learnt is how to bind Preferences to the User Defaults (the Cocoa default preferences system). Pratically, the one that generates, for every app, a file .plist in your ~/Library/Preferences directory. Unix-Style joined with Apple-Style.

Who is interested, I updated the HiEuro page with Binary and Source of the version 0.2. so, don’t be shy!

First release, first problem.

After a lot of research about the standard ISO 4217 (the one that define the “3 letter name” for every currency in the world) and all the symbols of European currencies, I miss one: the Slovenian Tolar.

If someone is able to find it out and, ideally, to give me the relative Unicode it will be very appreciated.

Also, I’m looking for someone able to translate the name of the different currencies (13) in, at least, French, German and Spanish. Other languages are welcome too. Manu, this call is to you .

I know: Samba is Open Source and you can ALREADY do it by hand (on Tiger too) but it’s quite easier if you have a panel to set up it quicker.

Take a look at this:

Straightaway from OSNews.com:

“This article will briefly discuss the new features found within Gutsy Gibbon and hopefully give you a better idea of what to expect when the final version of Gutsy Gibbons is released in October. Some of the more notable new features are a Graphical Configuration tool for X, improvements in plug-in handling for Mozilla Firefox, revamped printing system with PDF printing by default, fast user switching, new desktop search (Tracker) application and the new AppArmor security framework.”

Pretty cool!
Ubuntu is growing and growing and growing.
