DataBasin 0.4
0.4 is out!
Select Identify: Execute iteratively selects with given Ids or Unique Identifiers (no more Excel connector for this chore)
Select Http or Https as a preference for your connection (and it even works... http had a workaround due to sfdc stubborness which is now enabled only when necessary)

Neos 0.1 theme for GNUstep

Finally, the first official 0.1 release of the Neos theme. The theme contains now all the icons for the new special folders handled by GWorkspace, following thus the enhancements of the standard theme. You need both the latest GWorkspace and Base for all of them to appear properly.
Use the GNUstep filesystem layout (with the standard /usr/GNUstep or even / as a prefix) for maximum enjoyment. FHS has no real reason in a full GNUstep environment, in my opinion it should not be the default, it should just exist to ease people wanting to install one or two application in another environment.
Name your folders Documents, Images, Music, Downloads.
To have in idea of the look, check my past blog posts and you will see its evolution.

The end of an Aera
Jobs died. Now He was not only the father of the Macintosh, the iPod, iPhone and the iPad. he was also the father of NeXT and thus our guide too, our uncle or step-father.
He surely left a trace in computing. Let us keep his spirit alive in GNUstep

OresmeKit: plotting two functions

OresmeKit now is capable of plotting two function each against the other in its Cartesian view.
I ported OresmeKit and its examples to the Mac without any major effort, as expected.

Oresme, plotting for GNUstep
![]() |
| Parabola |
![]() |
| sinc(x) |
In the screenshots, the example application plotting a parabola and the plot of the sinc(x) function.
Why OresmeKit? In honour of Nicolas Oresme the antique philosopher who thought about coordinates long before Cartesius. Because Cartesius was too predictable as a name and too tied to X-Y plotting, while OresmeKit shall support more chart types in the future. What's next? I plan on adding some more features to the Cartesian drawing view first. Then typical charting views: bars, lines, pies... At some point some optimization and computation will be available, since otherwise plotting of large datasets will be unbearably slow.
OresmeKit and its examples are available in GAP and are yet unreleased, check the CVS repository.
