A developer, mostly doing whatever they pay me to do. Recovering PHP programmer. A long time Linux enthusiast and admirer of GNU technology.

I'm developing my own #unix style #photolibrary app. Check it out from the link below!

Or maybe #BSD or #Haiku or something else for an old machine, rather than Linux?
If I happened to have an old, 32-bit laptop laying around, what #Linux should I put there?
I'm still pretty hyped about #Python and #GTK app development in #Linux. Making those apps is pretty fun! Should I create #Flatpak apps as well? Is there a way then to install command-line commands via Flatpak?

My presentation about native #Linux desktop app development with #Gtk and #python went well yesterday.

Here are some nice resources I mentioned at the end of my talk:

↗️ https://pygobject.gnome.org/
↗️ https://api.pygobject.gnome.org/
↗️ https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/visual_index.html

I'm planning to either write a small tutorial or blog about this or record a video tutorial.

#Helsinki Python community felt nice!

Overview — PyGObject

Tomorrow I will give a presentation in #Helsinki about writing a native desktop app for #Linux with #Python and #GTK. I also heard that the event will be streamed.

I've been readying up my slides. I use free software, of course. #revealjs is a great #HTML based presentation framework. Diashows as code!

One tweak I do every time I install a new operating system: enable week numbers in OS calendar widget.
#Linux #Gnome #weeknumbers #Europe
Using a #hackable operating system is great. You can always extend and modify #Linux. With shell commands, scripts, recompiling or source code modifications. Thanks for everyone involved making it so.
I will give a short presentation in #Helsinki #Python #meetup about developing #GTK apps with Python. The date is 11.6. time is 17:00 and the place is Helen office. More info will follow...
