  • 19:21 UTC (new) (history) 2016-04-07 Hiding those annoying Async Shell Command buffers . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I use async-shell-command (M-&) quite often. (I usually ran just shell-command, by default bound to M-!, and added an ampersand at the end, until I learned about M-&.) However, when I do it, one thing annoys me a lot: the *Async Shell Command* buffers. Most of the time I don’t really care about them, since I do not want to see any standard output from async commands (like evince, a pdf viewer, or libreoffice, an office suite). Of course, this is Emacs, so I should be able to configure that, right? Right.

  • 19:40 UTC (new) (history) 2016-04-05 Finding Nemo, er, Turtle . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Yesterday was a refactoring day: I shuffled the code a bit, made it suck a bit less (for instance, I changed most of my doubles into floats, added some methods to separate responsibilities better, etc.) But the big thing today was solving the problem of the runaway turtle.

  • 19:29 UTC (new) (history) 2016-04-02 Pen up and down, smoke test and UI considerations . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Yesterday was an interesting day for Logeox. First of all, I added the pen up/pen down feature. It was quite easy under the hood: just add a Boolean field to the Turtle object, and generate getters and setters (I still honestly don’t know why). Then, in the goForward method, use lineTo or moveTo depending on the pen state.

  • 20:36 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-30 Turtle uncloaking . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I know, I know. I was supposed to write something about the horizontal layout. But this will have to wait, since I have a sexier thing to talk about. After some hiatus from Logeox, my turtle is finally visible! And here’s the proof:

  • 06:53 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-27 Bad news and Good News . . . . Marcin Borkowski – Bad news is that you’re a sinner and deserve to die. (Me, too.) Good News is that you no longer have to: Jesus did it //for you//. What’s more, He has risen from the dead and lives forever. And so can you. Will you join? Now let us sing with our Mother, the Holy Catholic Church: Hallelujah!

  • 17:11 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-26 What and how I’m learning . . . . Marcin Borkowski – For today, I decided to write a “softer” post about my learning process. (I did not abandon coding, but I slowed down a bit, because life (spending half a day in hospital is no fun) and because of preparation for the most important holiday of the year. I did tinker a bit, though – for instance, I switched from lines to paths, as promised. I also started working on horizontal layout, though it is a tad trickier than I thought. Expect a short post on that soon after Easter!) Quite a few other people decided to learn about Android, too, so it might make some sense to share some learning materials.

  • 05:24 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-19 My most interesting mistakes so far . . . . Marcin Borkowski – First, a disclaimer of sorts: you might think that I’m blogging like crazy in the hope of winning through sheer volume of posts. Nothing like that. It’s just that I learned a lot, and I wanted to share these things. It makes so much more sense to blog without a week’s delay about what I achieved, especially if I’m swelling with pride;-). (In fact, this very post was mostly written between Wednesday and Friday, and the only reason I didn’t post it yesterday was that I forgot to do it at first, and then suddenly it was too late and I was going to bed.) Do not expect more than 2-3 posts per week on average, even if there are short peaks of two-three posts in a row. I have a life, I have a family, I have a job, and I even have other writing projects. OK, now back to our normal schedule.

  • 17:53 UTC (new) (history) 2016-03-16 Back to sanity . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I am smiling a great smile. The smile of a man who f..ked with his car and didn’t break it. (Andy Weir, The Martian) There’s supposedly a Russian saying that goes like “The morning is wiser than the evening”. Smart guys, these Russians. (Even though I’m posting this in the evening, I actually solved yesterday’s problem mostly before 7:15 am today.)
