A New Home For Jalali Calendar

2007-04-26T23:25:01+04:30

After having bunch of issues with deciding on what OpenSource/FreeSoftware Project Hostings should I move Jalalai Calendar, I finally decided to choose Savannah Project as the solution to all problems.

Well that took a long 'twelve days period' for my project to be accepted by Savannah Hackers and now I have to proudly announce that Jalali Calendar finally has it's own new home.

You may access project tarballs from here. You may also do anonymous cvs checkouts using the following command:

cvs -z3 -d: pserver:anonymous@ cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/jcal co jcal

Cheers.

Nothing is as simple as it seems at first Or as hopeless as it seems in the middle Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Happy New Year

Today is by somehow a special day for that we are reaching the very last moments of the year "1385". As I always used to say, there is something special about these last moments, though I think it was not just an ordinary year.

Btw, I think after having a long day of troubles with autoconf and automake (stuffs of my nightmares) first stable release of Jalali Calendar is available for public. Take a peak and please do not forget your nice bug-reports to me.

I just wanted to mention that there are few hours remained to the beginning of year 1386(Jalali) or 2566(Shaahanshaahi).

_PLUS_ I think a celebration for this new year will be held at our IRC channel, around 3:00AM morning IRST. Feel free to join us.

I wish you a happy new year and a lot of luck.

Migrating To 'irssi' Sometimes Leads To A Calendar Release.

For a long time, I was thinking why my coding production's speed has slowed down. Today I just tried something useful and I think it works. As of now, I'm leaving the damn X just like three years ago when all my coding productions were inside terminals. So I just decided to switch my irc client to irssi and guess what ? the result was 0.0.98 version of Jalali-Calendar

take a peak: Jalali-Calendar-0.0.98

please do your nice bug-reports at: ghassemi at ftml dot net

Good luck, Have fun.

Jalali Calendar

Well, this page was inactive for a while, so I just decided to announce my attempt to write some Jalali Calendar library and text-interface for UNIX-like operating systems to deal with date and time. I think it's a bit hard to deal with it's exceptions of late times and that sort of stuff, so it really needs some hard-working-time but, I'l try to handle it's working with "the future time" and release it as soon as it has the basic functioning features.

Well at last, I'm proud to announce that my simple file-manager -liblafm- thingy is almost ready to be released. I'm running series of tests and other stuffs on it to make it usable and will release it as soon as it gets better in my opinion of course.

I'm trying to find a workaround for getting it to be a multi-windowed file-manager and I'll inform you guys to grab the source code and reply me back if it was any good in your point of view.

Here is a link to the source code.

Cheers

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
