If you don’t want to waste 1 hour debugging…

June 16th, 2008

… call gtk.gdk.threads_init() when you want to work with threads in a PyGTK application.

Well, to not leave this post so short, I’ll also refer a post explaning threads on PyGTK which looks quite good (I didn’t look carefuly at it because I already knew 99% of what it says… it’s a pity that because of that I didn’t notice the 1% that I didn’t know and which would have saved me one hour of debugging :/). Also, note that if you write your own __init__ function in order to pass data to the thread you will have to call threading.Thread.__init__(self) somewhere in it.

Internship

June 1st, 2008

I’m thinking about doing an internship this summer, so if you know of some programming related company in the area of Barcelona where they might be interested in taking someone I’d be grateful if you tell me :).

I’m a 17 year old technological baccalaureate student with experience in XHTML, CSS, PHP, Python and Debian/Ubuntu packaging (plus a bit JavaScript, bash, etc.), and the languages I know are Catalan, Spanish, English (mostly written) and spoken German. Ask for the CV if necessary.

Thanks!

Catalan Ubuntu Youth

May 20th, 2008

We have recently decided to created a sub-group of the Catalan LoCo Team only for the youth, with the idea to focus on approaching other young people to the Free Software world and to create a space where we can speak about those thinks that interest us, without having the entire community listening.

As a start, we have created a mailing list and this Friday we will hold our first event in Sant Cugat, which will be a dinner where we will meet together and discuss the further goals of the group. Of course, all of you under the age of 30 who speak Catalan are invited to come and join us!

One year of LoCo…
