first brainstorming towards the final project


I did a first overall analysing on my white board with all necessary blocks present. This can be seen on the picture left. I will post more and more of those things like drawings and schemes in the near future as my project continues. This becomes possible now because almost all separate functional blocks are ready to be integrate in the final project. I'm also thinking on posting source examples of basic principles I used. I don't know yet how and in what format. Probably I will go for my google pages. I will check out how non proportional fonts look like when rendering on google pages.

Yesterday I tested the linux file/dir notifications 'inotify'. Great results on directory as well as individual file level. again a functionality that is ready to be used. The only block still to look at is the message queues but I'm confident in that because it's a default linux mechanism for inter process communication. I learned this out of one of my books presented in an earlier blog. So still a lot of new things to explore but I learned quit a lot in this passed 6 mounts I must say. The other half of the year will be more dedicated on building my project based on the knowledge I already gathered until now. But there'll always be some time to explore in the side line.

So don't hesitate to rss feed my blog if you want to follow my project. And feel free to write some comments and/or questions on the blogs.
