It seems that there have been some attempts at creating a custom gtk.CellRenderer that can render an arbitrary widget. Wait or try no more, it is here!

Over the last two weeks Virtaal's code has been refactored to be more easily extendible. Changing Virtaal to a MVC architecture proved to be quite an intense and interesting endeavor (my GTalk status was "Deep hack mode" for most of these two weeks), but well worth it. And here we are! Virtaal's MVC branch is just about on par with the trunk version.

I believe that all code monkeys (should) strive to be the best that they can be. Part of doing so is adapting your own process to maximize productivity and to make things easier for yourself. This is just a spur-of-the-moment post about some of the specific things I have discovered/changed in my few months at Translate.org.za that has had a big influence on the way that I develop software.

I have just completed the auto-completion and auto-correction classes for VirTaal!
