Projects/Assignments
- Automated Localization Build Tool - we are done our 0.2 release and are ready to start working on our 0.3 release.
Automated Localization Build Tool (Open Source project)
- Software Requirements: Python --> Get it from Python's download page
- Project's Wiki provides information regarding the project and updated frequently.
- For more information, check out my blog.
Contributions To Other Projects
These are the following project's I've contributed to. Anything from actual code, documentation, testing, or providing some service to benefit the project.
- Desktop Social Networking Integration project
- Full Text History Search extension
- Add Support For More Compilers To Distcc
Desktop Social Networking Integration
- Project's Wiki
- The project's leader, Timothy Duavis, was in need of a way to interface with his SQL Lite database. SQL Lite is essentially a mini-database that saves all data to a file. I found an SQL Lite client for him to use and showed him how to interact with it's functions to alter his database. I also provided him with professional contacts who are able to help him or any person using the SQL Lite database for open source project purposes.
Full Text History Search extension
- Project's Wiki
- I assisted the project's leader, Vijey Balasundaram, with JavaScript code primarily. As well as setting up his environment for actually building the extension
Add Support For More Compilers To Distcc
- Project's Wiki
- I have lined up some C# files that need to be tested on the distcc compiler. They are not ordinary C# files, these are C# classes that include everything from data structures, use inheritance and polymorphism (in other words, interfaces). Peter Callaghan informed me that this would be beneficial to the project because it would test out if the system is capable of handling major C# systems.
First XPCOM Lab
This lab provided a walkthrough of how to create an XPCOM and subsequently utilize it. I learned a great deal about IDL files, creating make files, and how to create a basic XPCOM. View Result Here I also blogged about my first XPCOM experience.
I've zipped up all important files to this lab. You can get the ZIP here.
Modifying Firefox Lab
Purpose of this lab was to modify the behavior of creating new Firefox tabs, specifically, their location. This patch will make tabs appear next to the current one instead of at the end of the tab list which is the default.

Thunderbird Hyperlink Bug Lab - Patch
Thunderbird has a bug where it creates a hyperlink from message's text that didn't need to be a link. Further info about this bug is located on the lab page as well as the bug I filed on landfill here. Here is the patch that addresses this issue and fixes it.
