New job, new software

May 30th, 2008

So I finally found a new job! I’m going to be working at Red Hat on the Free IPA project, which I’m super excited about. Thanks, Red Hat!

In other news, the past few weeks I’ve released three new pieces of software, plus a new version of KungFu.

SnakeBite is a PyGTK/PyGST application that will recursively convert your entire music library to MP3. I have some screenshots here.

pyawesome is a pure Python library for rapid application development using PyGTK/PyGST.  SnakeBite, KungFu, and FuPlayer are all PyGTK/PyGST applications, so I’m writing a library to capture many of the common, high-level patterns that occur in such an application.  SnakeBite already uses pyawesome and I’m almost finished with the initial porting of KungFu to pyawesome.

bzr-release is a command line utility that can automatically build Debian/Ubuntu packages from a Bazaar branch. It is also a pure Python library for preparing your source tree for release. I have a screenshot here.

KungFu 0.3.0 now encodes to Dirac video (instead of Theora) using the Schrödinger library. I have some screenshots here.
