Old menelaus patches added to mainline tree

Reading the linux-omap mailing list, I saw that some old patches I submitted were added to the mainline tree some hours ago.

Basically, it's a simple patch to make both MMC slots work on N8X0 devices, and other patch to use macros instead of magic numbers on menelaus code.

Thanks to Jarkko Nikula for working on it.

Now officially Nokia Qt certified developer!

Hi again :)
I'm happy that my "Nokia Qt Certified Developer" certification has finally arrived ;) I've been working with Qt for 2 years now and all I can say is that it has let me improve my coding skills, my passion for UI development and my will to cooperate with the open-source community. I would like to thank Nokia for sponsoring the certification appliance at the Akademy 2010 event in Tampere this year as well as Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia (INdT) for the opportunity of working with cutting-edge technology such as Qt itself!

Looks sexy when you finally get it ;)

Bugs, Blend and Fonts

These weeks have been a little bit crazy for me(my bachelor thesis need to be wrote :) ). And a bug in my fill pattern code was make me crazy. Finally last week I fix it and implement some blend operations(CLEAR, SOURCE, IN, OUT, ATOP, XOR and others)  and in parallel began to learn about font rendering.

I already have something working.

But it is a little bit ugly because it does not have antialiasing =/. So these weeks i have plans to improve the code and fix bugs, bug and bugs. After that work in font support and finally  make some work with anti aliasing techniques. I already have studied some papers[1][2] but if someone had others ones would be fine :) .

QTestLib / Plasma Animations presentations @ FISL11

Hi again :)
It's been amazing days here at Porto Alegre, Brazil, where the 11th Forum Internacional de Software Livre (Free Software International Forum - aka. FISL11), one of the biggest open-source conferences in the world. On 22nd I've made a presentation about QTestLib, entitled "QTestLib: Creating intelligent unit tests for Qt-based projects" (slides available below - sorry, portuguese only), and yesterday me and Igor Oliveira spoke about Plasma Animations, pretty much similar to what I've had talked about in Akademy this year. Today we'll have Igor talking solely about Gallium3D, so things are pretty much on the way we've expected :)


QTestLib slides available here.

ps: And of course, we have pictures taken with Tux and GNU!
