And the Designer gets live

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

After a litle time of work, I managed to get the Centaurus Database Designer retrieving the schema from real databases, using Centaurus.Data, of course. I tested it with some databases, some very large, and it works quite well. There are only a few (drawing) bugs on relations, nothing critical. The current SVN revision has many […]


Centaurus Database Designer

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

In the past 2 days I’ve started and… done nothing but it… I’ve done it using ‘pure’ Gtk Widgets and no Canvas. While the design itself was easy, making the table move and resize was even more easy except by the time it took me to figure out the right coordinates translations 😛 The relations […]


Intelligent objects

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

When I was working on the code folding patch to MonoDevelop, I had curious problem. I wished that the buffer returned only the code to everything and the folded version to some internal methods I used. The problem could only be solved implementing an internal method that I invoked to return the folded version. Now, […]


Funny .Net behaviours

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

Sometimes I find some curious behaviours on .Net libraries. They are, obviously, found on Mono too, because Mono tries to be 100% compatible.

Sleep well little hacker

Friday, November 4th, 2005

Today someone tried to hack one of my pet servers. Unfortunately he hacker gave up after I noticed his attack and nmaped him. 😛 Been fixing some errors on a friends portal. That’s a cool portal, with lots of news, but lacking a better design and more users. I added RSS2 support to it and […]


Centaurus

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

I’ve been working on my free time trying to implement some more stuff on Centaurus. I still need to find some time to do the website, this one looks like crap. Anyway, I’ve done some refactoring and have implemented MySql support. I must confess that at begin I was a little “scared” because of the […]


Just installed WordPress

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

I’ve just installed WordPress it works perfectly and its amazing. The installation couldn’t be simpler except, IMHO, by the fact that we must setup the MySql database by our own. Although I don’t have root access to my hosting server, if I had, it should have an option to handle that – I believe MediaWiki […]
