A few days ago, I set up a place on Gitorious for StressItOut, and yesterday I made the first commits.
You can get it here: http://www.gitorious.org/stressitout
But beware, it’s in a very early stage of development, from someone quite new to Qt development!
Also, since last time I blogged, StressItOut got a new, quite decent 2D OpenGL painting test, and is now able to save its own configuration.
The project now has its own page on this blog: https://jancoding.wordpress.com/stressitout/

A few days ago I blogged about a new project of mine: StressItOut.
It now has 4 kinds of tests available, at a very basic stage: CPU load, Memory test, 2D graphics test, and Serial port test. Too bad I don’t have around here any of the serial port loopbacks I used at my old job. I’ll have to build one one of these days.
StressItOut running
Merry Christmas!

Some time ago, I built a customized Debian-based LiveCD with a KDE Plasma desktop, for work.
We repaired and tested industrial computers, so I thought it could be very useful. And it was!
I added all kinds of apps that I found useful for our hardware tests. The only problem was, some of my workmates wanted a proprietary app called BurnInTest included, since they were using its MSwindows version already.
There was a GNU/Linux version, so we ended up adding it to the LiveCD, but I thought it would be very nice to be able to have a similar, graphical tool to do all the tests that app did, but that was Free Software.
So now that I’m getting into Qt/KDE development, it’s time to build that app!
Here’s what I have so far:
The program will have several test modules: CPU burning, memory test, 2D graphics test, 3D test, serial ports, etc.
Hopefully I’ll show it to the world via Qt-apps.org or similar places when it’s ready to do something real 🙂

At least on the inside. As for the outside…
And also, a little test of the possibilities of QLabels 😀

Amazing, I know 🙂
I’m still looking for ideas for a real app to build as an exercise…

Presenting my first plasmoid: Praedic.
It’s a very simple dictionary targeted at spanish users, or people learning spanish.
It searches the RAE online dictionary, which is the official spanish dictionary (Real Academia Española).
You can get it from kde-look.org, or directly via Plasma’s option “Download New Plasma Widgets”
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=129421
Usage is very straightforward: Enter a single word and hit enter or press the “Buscar en RAE” (search in RAE) button. There’s a slider on the right side to control the size of the text.
Feedback is welcome! 🙂
