Fandro 2 (Winforms)

Posted on June 9, 2023 by Arthur

Back in 2014, I mentioned briefly that I had started on the .Net version of Fandro (see: http://www.hoogervorst.ca/arthur/?p=2743): No timelines as of yet, though, but technically, the main algorithm was finished a couple of days ago. Time permitting, I expect … Continue reading →

Fandro2

Posted on May 18, 2014 by Arthur

You heard it here first: I’ve started working on a successor to Fandro (at xsamplex), mainly because, firstly, I love diving into these kind of algorithms. Secondly, Fandro’s popularity (for an app written in the Windows XP age) surprised me. … Continue reading →

The devil is in the SerialPort

Posted on July 29, 2010 by Arthur

I‘m surprised how many people look here for help on the .Net 2.0 SerialPort component (reference, which leads to this posting). I have plenty of example code, but I haven’t had time to re-test the project or even try com0com … Continue reading →

A circular thing

Posted on March 15, 2009 by Arthur

I‘m extremely impressed with the Google Chrome download indicator: for some kind of reason, a circular progress meter makes a lot more sense than a linear one. Maybe it’s because of Pi. Since I was so impressed and because it … Continue reading →

FFMpeg II

Posted on January 25, 2009 by Arthur

I have been making small progress on my own front-end for FFMPeg (earlier on xsamplex). Earlier I was rounding up the serializers (data persistence, data schmersistence): the threading code was finished months ago. I just have to connect the last … Continue reading →

Canvas

Posted on October 13, 2008 by Arthur

During my programming career, I’ve ran into several cases where I absolutely had to use owner-draw to accomplish customized drawing. Originally, as a Delphi programmer, this required knowledge of the specific graphic wrappers around the Windows GDI (and GDI+) functions … Continue reading →

FFMpeg

Posted on September 19, 2008 by Arthur

Between all the ripping of my (legally) purchased DVDs and transcoding them to the proper format for my iPod I found out that most of the applications that I used have something in common (from Videora [free] to Mediacoder (open … Continue reading →

PropertyGrids in C#

Posted on February 17, 2008 by Arthur

Yesterday, I decided to tackle .Net’s PropertyGrid component: for Helios, I was working on code to allow users to view Datasource-specific data at run-time. For this, I already had several support objects programmed and ready to go, and what better … Continue reading →

CVS meet Enscript

Posted on February 17, 2008 by Arthur

Last night, I was installing CVS on my Debian box. Actually, it was already installed: the CVSROOT was ready to go and the service itself had been listening since the early days. However, I never finished assigning rights to myself, … Continue reading →

When the Earth

Posted on February 16, 2008 by Arthur

A couple of links to keep you busy for now: I’m not sure where I got this one from, but to me ‘Social Wallpaper’ is the only compelling social network. If you can call it a social network: basically, it … Continue reading →

Owner-draw (II)

Posted on February 6, 2008 by Arthur

Earlier, which is, almost a year ago, I was comparing owner-draw programming in Delphi and C# and concluded that it’s quite similar: basically you set any visual component in a particular mode (‘I’m going to take care of drawing the … Continue reading →

Is there a statistician in the house?

Posted on January 19, 2008 by Arthur

I downloaded the Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition ISO from the Microsoft site and discovered that specific stuff I was looking for isn’t supported in that special edition. I guess there is (or rather was) a huge difference between ‘Orcas’ … Continue reading →

Passwords

Posted on January 8, 2008 by Arthur

A couple of months ago (around the same time that I was looking into the sources of the .Net version of KeepPass) I ran into this page: an algorithm to generate pronounceable passwords1. Well, at least a bit more pronounceable … Continue reading →
