matpy – call Python from MATLAB

Hello everyone! If you ever wanted to call Python from MATLAB, here goes something for you. Today I’d like to present matpy – a MATLAB extension for accessing Python. It is more or less an equivalent to pymat but the other way around. At the moment it’s for sure more […]

ThinGit Update – much improved performance

Hi there! I’ve prepared a new version of ThinGit with drastically improved performance this time (thanks to more intelligent changes detection and push/pull behavior) and a fix for mishandled delete/modify conflict. Enjoy! As a sidenote: if ThinGit is starting to consume too much RAM on your machine (classic behavior for […]

Java: Automatic configuration dialog for cli-parser annotated fields

In case you haven’t heard about cli-parser – it’s a command-line interface library for Java and a very handy one at that. Its main class parses command line parameters into fields of a given class specified just by annotations. It can also produce a neat usage description characteristic for CL […]

As such, its primary use is as an alternative to DropBox and SparkleShare! As the name suggests, […]

As announced, I’ve installed DropBox and SparkleShare today on my Windows XP-based PC. DropBox works out-of-the-box 😉 and makes the impression of a mature and stable application. It works fast, reliably and features Web interface to overlook and manage the state of your remote repository. Its only shortcoming (except for […]

DropBox, SparkleShare, … thin-git

Recently I had a little discussion about DropBox, which was highly praised by my colleague for its simplicity, efficacy, security, etc. Of course I like the idea very much and believe that it works good, because otherwise it wouldn’t have so many users. However there’s one thing fundamentally wrong with […]
