LinuxBBQ

I've been inspired by the recent Ludum Dare and DJ's daily programming thread . I think it would be a fun idea for us to have some sort of similar competition - a theme is selected at the start, people that want to participate hack away on some cool projects and meet back here when the time is up. I...

The spin will arrive just in time for Christmas dinner. :D

Yeah, my halloween outfit. :-)

Thanks for the detailed write up DJ, I have VirtualBox running and am going to test out some more BBQ spins. :-)

Phew, it's been a busy time but version 0.5 is finally out.

howm now longer uses config.h - everything is done using cottage. Keybindings are now handled by cottage + sxhkd for a cleaner design.

I wrote a blog post about the new features here.

Got any details on how you did this DJ?

I've been meaning to get some VMs running, but always turn back - whether that be lack of time or poor libvirt docs.

An embarassingly ugly one liner in python - I might neaten this up when I get back from uni. :-)
Edit: This is python 3 and you should separate side lengths with a space.

This looks super cool - that food looks so good.

Now we just need a map that shows where all of us grillers are. :-)

@DebianJoe Thank You for the python suggestion and link :) I'll look into those.I'm guessing this has to be done with the 'py_compile' compile module ? /usr/bin/glances is a python script containing these lines . And i ran 'locate glances' (just for the sake of curiosity) which gave me a huge list ...

I like using this tool, but I find that the sensor display is often really buggy - the temperatures don't appear on my laptop, but I can see them through lm-sensors...

Damn it, I'm late. :-(

Hope you had a good birthday DJ.

Looks good Pids. :-)

Thanks guys!

I am going out for dinner with my friends to a Mexican place soon - I am going to have a rack of ribs in honour of the BBQ. :-)

@DJ I have sent another PR with uname stuff (I have never used syscalls before but am finding them fun).

When sysinfo returns the memory usage, is it MiB or MB?

DebianJoe wrote:TY sir, merged. Feel free to toss some neat tricks my way should you have them.

Edit: Specifically, if you have any ideas about how to figure active cached memory. I've been scratching my head the last hour over how that might be extracted cleanly.

You could use /proc/meminfo?

Looks good DJ, I just sent you a PR on github. :-)

I have just made a gif showing off cut and paste.

I really need to get around to updating my colours...

I have just released version 0.4 It has lots of nice new features in it.

^ C is always good. Nothing against C :) , but is it going to be alright learning two programming languages at the same time / day / week / month ? :D I can't ditch C++ as its compulsory ( made by school and those profs. force borland down my throat ). I would say that some C knowledge is going to ...

i3 is a real wm. :'(

GMT over here. :-)
