Hey, I'm not dead

I'm a little bit busy these days and cannot update this blog.
Currently I'm making something interesting, (not a CG stuff,
but general thing).
I'll show it here when time comes.

Wow.

Real World Haskell

Several month ago I wanted to learn a functional programming and chose Emacs Lisp as a language (see the results A and B), but ELisp was not a good language for me to learn it since I can write any script procedurally. When I said I like languages which are simple and elegant and easy to read, a guy working with me recommended OCaml but it's not good to learn a functional programming with a language that supports procedural way of programming for a lazy man like me. So I chose Haskell. It is used at my workplace so learning it is also practical. I looked at several haskell tuts on the web and found Real World Haskell to be the easiest to read. So far I'm enjoying it but I don't know if I can finish it since priority of learning a functional programming is still not high.
Note: Real World Haskell seems to expect the readers should have a basic knoledge of Python and C.

Cross platform editor written in Python

http://editra.org/

It's written in Python, It seems to have all the features of wx.STC, multi-lingualized, it has launchers, and it comes with so many lexers 68k assembly, Apache conf, Haskell, LaTex, Lisp, Lua, Matlab, R, Objective-C, VHDL, YAML, ... ofcourse Python.

It's still version 0.5 but looks promising.

PyQt is nice

I started using PyQt. It's so nice. Unlike Qt, you don't have to worry about Qt specific stuff, qmake, .pro, moc, etc. I started off by converting several examples that come with Qt. I realized I could convert a Qt code to a PyQt script half automatically. I've converted some of WebKit examples and there was almost no difficulty, though it took a little bit of time to be able to call a slot in PyQt script from JavaScript, until I read this (french!) and found @QtCore.pyqtSlot works.

Ah, and Qt Designer is very nice :)

Qt Designer is so nice by the way.
