Arc's Soy Machine: May 2011
http://arcriley.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Making an Android/iPhone/iPad home screen icon for your website. First, design your logo. I use Inkscape. So I can later scale the icon for tshirts and printed material, but any tool will do as long as you end up with a square flattened 512x512 PNG. Open this in GIMP. Next download this GIMP template. Now that you have your glossy icon with rounded edges, scale and save the image three times for 57x57, 72x72, and 114x114 as follows:. If you have not done so already. Link rel="apple...

Arc's Soy Machine: PyTTY 0.3
http://arcriley.blogspot.com/2011/12/pytty-03.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Continuing my annual end-of-year coding sprint, I just released PyTTY 0.3. Is a Python serial communication package I started last year after a friend said he couldn't use Python. 3 yet because pyserial wasn't ported. The point of writing this was to show him that he didn't need an ancient, bloated, poorly-maintained package to do something as simple as serial communication. Repository is http:/ hg.pytty.org/pytty. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Im a certified USA Rugby...

Arc's Soy Machine: NodeTree 0.3 Released
http://arcriley.blogspot.com/2013/01/nodetree-03-released.html
Friday, January 18, 2013. NodeTree 0.3 Released. I just wrapped up NodeTree. Version 0.3, a little over a year since the last release. As promised, this release includes document and stream parsing with some very early use of XMPP. However, there's some basic features that haven't been implemented yet:. Namespace access from Python. We're going to need at least XSLT. Support so I'm adding this next. While we're already storing XML data in libxml2. You can download NodeTree 0.3. And have been heavily invo...

Arc's Soy Machine: December 2010
http://arcriley.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 30, 2010. I've been going through liboil. S 03 source to rewrite the oil yuv2rgbx sub2 u8 function. We use for Theora. Decoding to Orc pseudo-assembly code. Splits opcode description and processor support between two tables, for reference I wrote a quick Python script to build a table of Orc opcodes common to SSE. PPC/Cell), and NEON. Here's that table for reference, at least until I put the time to format it for a wiki:. Add with signed saturate. Add with unsigned saturate. A and ( b).

Arc's Soy Machine: March 2011
http://arcriley.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 17, 2011. This has been an awesome week at PyCon, though I'm completely exhausted. The most notable outcome of several meetings with Python leadership. About increasing diversity in the Python community. In my role with PSF's educational outreach programs I'm calling on 3rd party projects working with us to help work to increase gender balance in our community, and as PySoy. S project maintainer I'm committing us to working seriously on this issue over the next year as an example. Once Su...

Arc's Soy Machine: NodeTree 0.2 Released
http://arcriley.blogspot.com/2011/12/nodetree-02-released.html
Thursday, December 08, 2011. NodeTree 0.2 Released. I just shipped NodeTree. This version will not parse an XML stream. All it contains are some basic types representing XML nodes such as. As promised, text is also handled as a node but uses standard Python strings (UTF-8 strings/bytes and unicode). These should all be fairly intuitive to use. I started this project because the existing XML packages for Python. Proved too difficult to use with XMPP. Storing XML data in libxml2 DOM format gives us a few a...

Arc's Soy Machine: XMPP on the web
http://arcriley.blogspot.com/2011/12/xmpp-on-web.html
Saturday, December 03, 2011. XMPP on the web. A short thread on G. Has prompted this longer sharing of my vision for XMPP. For XMPP use on a website we currently have BOSH. And, in an extreme-alpha state, XMPP over websockets. This is the crux of the issue: when using an Javascript library provided by a website and using a proxy provided by that website, whether BOSH, websockets, or otherwise, you're giving that website unlimited access to your account. I have not seen a workable proposal to solve th...
