enso zoom, and pan commands

Filed under: Misc — Braydon Fuller @ 12:23 pm

My Response to:Ted Gould: Show All Desktops

Having the desktops arranged horizontally still means that interacting with the lower right desktop panel is still the main way of moving around. It would be better to arrange the desktops in both directions if zooming is the main interface for moving around.

In that case, we really don’t need panels at all. With interfaces like Enso, we could have commands to replace tasks of the panels. We’d need a Zoom command, a Pan command, and an Open command. Thus to zoom in one step (from viewing 4 desktops to 1) we could hold Capslock, press Z, press I, release Capslock. To zoom out: ZO, to pan left, right, up, and down: PL, PR, PU, PD. To open a document or website (or application): o todo list, o freedesktop.org (o firefox).

Cyro the concupiscent robot, emerged from his saxicolous ways for a nomothetic adventure. He traveled the universe and was soon a cynosure, with a great deal of eponymous.

humor: is_match(you) v0.01

Filed under: humor — Braydon Fuller @ 9:40 pm

Perhaps all this time I’ve been focusing on entirely the wrong problem and should have instead be focused on writing web scripts that take care of other areas of life. :P

[python]

#!/usr/bin/python

class Cupid:
def is_match(you):
from me import settings
matched_total = len(settings)
matched = 0
settings_str = ” “.join(settings)
for setting in you.settings:
if settings_str.find(setting) != -1:
matched = matched + 1
return matched / matched_total * 100
is_matched.exposed = True

def index():
from cheetah import Template
date = datetime.datetime.now()
template = Template(’is_match.tmpl’,locals())
return template.respond()
index.exposed = True

if __name__ == “__main__”:
http.quickstart(Cupid(), ‘/’)

[/python]

No, seriously… I just made this a personal craigslist posting just minutes ago, http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/m4w/627248464.html
Uhhhh, I’m doomed, LOL. At least it’s funny, to me! :)

added javascript interface projects to gitweb

Filed under: Misc — Braydon Fuller @ 9:29 am

Hi, I’ve added two javascript projects to my gitweb. One being an enso-like interface by Andreas Schruderer, and another is a radial menu interface by Michaeljohn Clement. One is great for mouse interactions, and the other great for keyboard. :) I am looking forward to fully integrating these into a backend.

Sparrow needs your help.

Filed under: Misc — Braydon Fuller @ 3:09 pm

I’m looking for people to collaborate with on Sparrow. Please take a look at the repository and screencasts to get an idea of what it’s goals are. There is also a rough FAQ in there too. If you do any hacking on Sparrow, I’d love to see your ideas. Please send me an email (courier@braydon.com) if your interested, and or have done some hacking. There is lots of work that needs to be done before it’s ready. But it’s pretty exciting working on something new. http://braydon.com

Sparrow < CouchDB, Werkzeug, Radial Menus

Filed under: Misc — Braydon Fuller @ 11:01 pm

I’ve finally got a chance to work on Sparrow after a week of working on other things. After working with Django for a bit I have realized a few things. I’ve also done some research into CouchDB and I feel that it will be a good fit as a storage system for Sparrow, there still will be support for relational databases, however some of the flexibility of CouchDB seems to fit in with the relaxed nature of Sparrow. I’ve also come to realize that strictly path arguments being only non-keyword can be somewhat limiting. Thus I have also started a new branch for integrating Werkzeug as an http framework, in addition to CherryPy. Both will move forward and we will see where things go. I’ve also added a branch for the great JS hacking that Michaeljohn Clement has been doing for the radial menu, this also includes improving the menu interface to return JSON rather than an HTML representation of the menu.

Keep in mind these are in development and will likely not run yet. It’s most important to have it be public so that others can also start working on it too, and to also know what areas I am focusing on.
