Moving old projects to git

jd — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 10:02:00 +0100

I finally did it.

Most of my small and personal projects (telak, sysrqd and mod_defensible) were maintained in my home-svn-repository. This had the side effect that I did not have a good overview of the current status of the project, and that I never though about tagging releases.

I used git-svnimport to move this stuff to git, with great success. Now, I see that only one release on three is tagged correctly, bad me. They are now on my git server.

But with a better tool like git I'm sure I will be more precise when I will work on that source code, so it was time to switch. And now my source code is public, which is far better than before.

telak 0.3

I have just updated telak, releasing version 0.3. It fixes some bugs and should work with Nautilus now.

telak is out !

Hi geeks around the world.

I'm proud to announce my new software: telak.
I'm sure you are wondering what it is, so let me paste this explanation:

telak is a small tool to draw local or remote pictures on your root window. This is very useful if you want to have webcam, graphs or something like this drawn above your wallpaper.

My first goal was to see my cacti graphs on my desktop and refresh them. I did not found any program which can do this easily, so I decided to write my own one.

I coded it in 24h, so I think there might be some bugs, but it works well for me right now.
I will probably add some interesting features by playing with Imlib2 in a few days...
