*hack hack hack*

Sat down for a while to work on v0.8 of Parcellite and managed to commit some changes to the way actions are executed. I used to use a simple system() call, but in its single-threaded nature Parcellite would become unresponsive until it finished executing your action. I implemented a simple pthread for each action executed so that you may continue to use the clipboard manager as it executes your desired action, something I should have done from the start but oh well :)

Parcellite v0.7

Finally released v0.7 which I had sitting on the subversion repository for a while because of school/work. Get it while it's hot.

Spring Break

Spring break started for us this week. I still have to go work tuesday and thursday but for the rest of the time I'll be able to catch up on some online courses, coding and get around to installing Arch.

I've been hacking away at Parcellite and I have what could be v0.7 in the subversion repository already. Soon after I browse through the code a few more times I'll be able to make a release.

Also got a chance to play some SSBB yesterday. Epic game is epic.

Parcellite v0.4

I released Parcellite v0.4 a little while ago after I finished hacking its new actions feature. Now that I finished implementing what I wanted in a clipboard manager, I find myself staring at the source thinking "what now?" I can probably add a few more things without bloating it, I just have to figure out what those things are going to be. I think maybe I'll translate it to various languages to kill time.
