This is really kool, but i really prefer books over PDF. Anyway, i will read a part this week-end, and i will buy it if it’s kool enought.

(UNC) Assistive Technology in Python

I have been working for impaired people for a while, and today i need to write a little program that use ‘Text to Speech’. This should say to the user what is happening in the house like ‘TV is on’ and so on .. It tooks me 2 minutes to discovers pyTTS, which is a python wrapper for the Microsoft Speech API. Guess what ? That’s why i love Python, simply because i’m a laisy guy, with a lot of different works.

Larsen-b moving …

I ‘ve quite finish the moving across server of ‘Jkx@Home‘.

This hacked version of Alinea works quite well. I have been working a bit hard on that part. In fact the main trouble i have came from my trouble w/ CSS. The other thing that run me in trouble is the ZPT. Despite i really like ZPT, this is really a pain to read, and can include some edge effect. The last point is to merge SQL backup across RDBM.

Now i need to install it on the right server and enjoy :)

I hope this will work without too much pain.

Projects, i’m working on .. or have

I have been working on several projects for a long time now. My first public project was MP3SB in 1999 (a long time now). Here a short list on my main works

resPyre

resPyre is network mp3/ogg/wav player written in python and using corba as frontend

boxMon

boxMon is a monitoring tool for unix based operating system that use :

  • python
  • gnuplot
  • MySQL (currently the only one but this will change soon)
  • a webserver (Apache for example)

Data collecting is done through simple python scripts that are used as plugins in boxMon, in a cron job. With this tool you can monitor as many host as you want and store the data in a single database.

Alinea

Alinea is a little blog system (which is used here). There is no public release yet. But stay tuned :)
