Gnome Password Generator 1.6 Released

Chris — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:15:29 +0000

I released a new version of my secure password generator for Linux. The major improvement for this release was rewriting the menu bar code to use the new GTK UIManager API.

Gnome Password Generator 1.5 Released

Chris — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 04:30:48 +0000

I have finally gotten around to releasing a new version of Gnome Password Generator, my little utility to generate secure random passwords.

Special thanks to Steve Tyler, who submitted improvements including the ability to select different character sets and the use of urandom entropy if available.

Hopefully I won’t let another 3 years go by before I add some of my own improvements.

Gnome Blosxom 1.1

Chris — Tue, 17 May 2005 22:02:48 +0000

I released version 1.1 of Gnome Blosxom today, which fixes several outstanding bugs. Gnome Blosxom is the program I wrote for posting blog entries to a Blosxom based weblog. Since I don’t personally use this program anymore (I now run WordPress), I am looking for a developer to adopt this project. If you are interested, drop me an email.

RPMs Now Available For Gnome Blosxom

Chris — Fri, 10 Sep 2004 20:25:00 +0000

RPMs are now available from Gnome Blosxom through Dag’s RPM repository. For those who don’t know, Gnome Blosxom is my Gnome based program for posting to a Blosxom based blog. In fact, I am using it right now to post this entry. Special thanks to Dag for building the RPMs and putting Gnome Blosxom in his repository!

Gnome Blosxom Released

Chris — Thu, 10 Jun 2004 21:38:00 +0000

I am pleased to announce that I have released the first version of Gnome Blosxom. You can download the code, view screenshots, and get more information on the project website at gnome-blosxom.sourceforge.net.

Gnome Blosxom is a software application that allows the user to post entries to a Blosxom based weblog. I personally use the program to write this blog everyday. Blosxom is a great weblog server that is available at www.blosxom.com.

Gnome Blosxom automatically hands the process of uploading each post to the web server and getting the file in the right directory for the category. The program also features spell checking, formating of text, and link insertion. Take a look at the screenshots or try it out yourself!

For more information about the project and to download the latest version go to the project website at gnome-password.sourceforge.net.

I have also enabled project donations for Gnome Password Generator. You can now donate money to support the project though SourceForge.net. To donate to my project, click on the “Support this project” button on the bottom of the main project website.

Gnome Blosxom Progress

Chris — Tue, 25 May 2004 21:08:00 +0000

My newest project, Gnome Blosxom, is coming along nicely. In fact, I am posting this entry with the program right now. I should be able to make the first public release next week. Keep an eye on my blog for further details.

Gnome Blosxom

Chris — Tue, 18 May 2004 17:53:00 +0000

I am currently working on a project called Gnome Blosxom. It is going to be a Gnome based blogging tool that will handle writing the blog and uploading it to the Blosxom data directory. I know there are already a couple good blogging tools out there for Gnome but none of them work with Blosxom. I decided that posting to Blosxom is a significantly different process than the other blogging interfaces and therefore would be served best with its own separate tool. Plus, it is easier for a user just to have a tool specifically designed for his blogging needs.

Once I get the tool to some sort of usable state I will put the project up on SourceForge. Hopefully, a lot of users will give me some good feedback and some developers will send me patches. I will keep everyone posted on the project’s status through my blog.
