Data visualisation is a big, big topic. It’s often underestimated by the majority of society. But what is data visualisation? It’s not so much how effectively you present data – no, it’s how effectively you deliver information. Today since work has resumed on WIPUP I decided to take a look at how to implement effective [...]
Well the Eadrax code (what WIPUP runs on) has always supported updates with video attachments but the live WIPUP site never got to see it in action due to the server not having ffmpeg (video swiss-army knife) installed and playing nice with the latest codecs, permissions, and whatnot. Over the past few days our lovely [...]
Was happy today to find this mention of WIPUP by a Latino by the name of Gnosis VonDark – he had found WIPUP from the openDesktop submission and gave his thoughts on the bigger picture behind WIPUP on his blog. It’s in Spanish so you might want to run it through a translator. It discusses [...]
It’s WIPUP statistics time, folks. I’d like to apologise for the lack of "proper" posts as I’ve been busy making a portfolio for a university application and bachoté in some new ThoughtScore stuff. Yes, that’s right. So a sad excuse is to look at statistics. (Those viewing my profile would probably know this already though) [...]
WIPUP is a flexible and easy way for people to share, critique, and track works-in-progresses. Every month, the WIPUP website gets synchronised with the Git repository hosting the code. It wasn’t long ago at all since the February sync was performed (21.02.10) and since I’ve been having mock exams that generally means I have a [...]
It’s midweek, 3 mock exams later, and it’s been quite some time since the WIPUP 21.02.10a was released. Yep, that means it’s time to look at the statistics. The reason this didn’t happen earlier is because the WIPUP dashboard stats only update themselves at the beginning of the week in order to save server power [...]
WIPUP is a way to conveniently share progress on your projects. Given the mix of solutions used before such as work-in-progress forum threads, blog posts, mailing lists and microblogging, we’re creating a flexible and friendly solution to answer the question “what’s up?”. People focus so much on the finished product they ignore the beauty of [...]
Now that all the hubbub over the KDE SC 4.4 release and KDE website redesign is over it’s back to regular blog posts and other pet projects. This, some of you would’ve realised by now, includes WIPUP – which I’ve really tried to turn into an incremental release project. So yes, I’m announcing the February [...]
Yesterday saw a burst of activity as far as WIPUP commits were concerned, but most importantly I’ve said goodbye to the proprietary Assembla project management tool we were using before and set-up our very own in-house service "Trac", courtesy of our lovely host. Trac’s main use is in ticket tracking – a way for users [...]
Unless you have short-term memory loss you would remember about a week ago WIPUP 14.01.10 was released. One of the major features of this release was a working and presentable stats section in the account dashboard. Generating statistics is a rather intensive operation on the webserver and would be overkill to have it happen daily, [...]
It’s party time! After a long break from development in November and a few more commits creeping through in January and late December I’ve decided to update the web version to the latest and greatest – the so-called 14.01.10 version. Yes, it’s the one and only WIPUP. For the unaware, WIPUP is a website that [...]
I’ve mentioned dogfooding a few times already: it is the process where the developer uses their own creations, thus duplicating the role as a consumer as well as a producer. It’s good practice – because if you don’t trust your own ideas, the chances are that it’s a bad idea in the first place. Even [...]
Even though WIPUP still needs time to mature (as well as it’s still very incomplete as of writing) as most of the basic functionality is up I wanted to show a practical example of what it is. WIPUP is my idea for my OpenDesktop competition submission as well as my stepping stone into KDE development. [...]
I’ve updated the Wipup submission for the SocialDesktop Competition. It’s a web-based system so that means it’s absolutely no hassle to check it out at all. Here’s the obligatory screenshot (click for full size): It’s almost the deadline for the competition and we definitely can’t finish this on time, but apparently it doesn’t have to [...]
Folks from PlanetKDE last heard me announcing my journey along the path to become a KDE developer. There are many ways to do this and unfortunately the path that involves learning a load of C++ and start developing applications is still making slow but steady progress and not (yet) eligible for public announcement. But – [...]
