OOP-izing gSourceEdit

This week I've been away from home without a web development setup. So I decided that I'd work on gSE for a little bit. It's been needing a coding overhaul which included implementing it in full OOP (Object Oriented Programming, for those who don't know) as the current code base was becoming a tad bit difficult to manage. As a result, the fully OOP'd version should be in the repositories soon (which can be found on the gSE project page). I'm hoping this will help me iron out some more of the many bugs that it has at the moment and of course, make the code much easier to manage and more readable than it is currently.

Website?

Yes, I have been recently working a lot on getting the MadSoft website up and running so that I have a centralized place for all of my software projects and so forth. I don't want to release the website URL just yet but will as soon as it's a bit more complete. Its getting there, just need like another week or so and it should be stable enough for production use. However, I will release some details about it for anyone who would like to know.

It's going to run PHP5/PostgreSQL and its entirely written from scratch by me. It will have a membership sysem as well in addition to all the usual pages, like news, forums, projects, about, etc. Unfortunately I'm using this free template I found on the internet because I really suck at CSS and I really suck at templates/design(s). So if anyone is willing to make a template that would be awsome. But yeah, its going to be pretty limited as far as look go. I hope to use MadBB for the forum software, although not sure if the development tree will be even remotely usable by then, only time will tell. :)

Micro GTK+ media player

Well I havn't posted in little a while, but I do have some stuff cuing up for the future. I was bored and wanted to work on a GTK program while listening to one of my favorite linux podcasts (The Linux Link Tech Show) and decided to make a small multithreaded media player in C/GTK+ with an SDL backend for the audio playback and threading support. Apparently SDL_mixer has some issue with pausing that hasnt been sorted yet so the pause button probably wont work properly, as it didn't for me either.

You can download a tar-bzip2 package here. Obviously I use linux, so there is a linux-x86 binary in there along with the source code, as well as a Makefile. I don't use windows but I hear that you can compile GTK+ apps under windows, wouldn't know because I havn't really tried it. But to run under linux you just need the gtk+-2.0, libsdl-1.2, and libsdl-mixer libraries and if you want to compile it from source, you obviously need the development headers as well.

gSourceEdit Alpha is Ready

I've been working on a project to make a small, versatile, and light-weight programmers text editor for linux, because personally, they all (mostly) suck. I called this project/program gSourceEdit. Its written in PHP-GTK2 and I've completed it to a point now where its partially functional. There are screenshots on it's SourceForge.net project page and the source is available from the subversion repository. I need people to test it and submit bug fixes (if possible). Also note that some things are not implemented yet, so if something isn't doing anything, check your console for debug output.
