While working on making the Ubuntu One code more multiplatform I founded myself having to write some code that would set the attributes of a file on Windows. Ideally os.chmod would do the trick, but of course this is windows, and it is not fully supported. According to the python documentation: Note: Although Windows supports [...]

I cannot complain about the 2010 yet I hope that 2011 is even better and that my work can actually help as many people as possible. Have a great 2011!

I’m currently working on a “small” pet project (that I want to take advantage of at some point) in which I’m json serializing (Json.Net) a Tuple in which the Item type can be of any kind. Of course when deserializing the object, I’d like to have my object type as close as possible to its [...]

Hurray! I’ve got some free time which means I can spend some time doing what ever I want. So far with @lemongirl I have gone to Monserrat: And taken some picts of Iron, whose is getting bigger by the day. I’ll spend my holidays in Madrid with the family, so if anyone is around, let me know [...]

Sometimes on Linux we take for granted DBus. On the Ubntu One Windows port we have had to deal with the fact that DBus on Windows is not that great and therefore had to write our own IPC between the python code and the c# code. To solve the IPC we have done the following: Listen [...]

We got a puppy a few weeks ago and we finally got to take some pictures of hime, he’s been with us 2 weeks so far and he is adapting pretty well. Who are you? Please give me chicken! I’ll chew my toys then… Chicken!!

It is not a secret that I love Spring.Net, it just makes the development of big application a pleasure. During the port of Ubuntu One to Windows I have been using the framework to initialise the WCF service that we use to provide other .Net applications the ability of communicating with Ubuntu One. Yes, this [...]

In one of my previous posts about the port of U1 to Windows I mentioned that setting up the enviroment to build the solution and work on it was a PITA. To solve that I have created a hideous batch script that will set up your devel environment to work on the U1 windows port. [...]
