Real Studio not ready for Ubuntu 11.04 … yet.
I recently upgraded my test laptop from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu 11.04 with the new Unity interface. I’m going to take this laptop to the Detroit Area Users Group for a demonstration of Real Studio and I thought I’d demonstrate it on the latest and greatest Ubuntu. A small problem however. No graphic images show [...]

World Memory Project – Windows Only – WTH?
You may not know this factoid about me, but I’ve been researching my family history, doing the whole Genealogy thing. Ancestry.com is an almost ‘must have’ subscription to help speed along the research. You can do a lot with free web sites and lots of research, but Ancestry.com helps. I received an email from them [...]

Linux notify-send – time parameter ignored
I’m trying to add some notification capabilities to a cross-platform application that I am building. On Linux I was happy to find the notify-send utility which does a nice job of notifying the user that something occurred inside of the application. Something was strange about it though. The expiration-time parameter is ignored. No matter what [...]

REAL Studio – Listbox Font
This morning I was looking around for how to adjust the font for a row of sales figures in a listbox. I wanted the refunds to show in red italic, and the regular records to show in the default black font. Luckily REAL Studio makes this easy … as long as you know where to [...]

I’ve recently taken my Windows 7 laptop and installed Ubunto 10.10 64 bit Linux in a dual boot configuration. Sweet. All of that delicious RAM available. While setting it up, one of the tools I have to install is REAL Studio (REALbasic). Well, the DEB file says it won’t install because it isn’t 32bit Linux. [...]

That darned libstdc++.so.5 file
I recently purchased some plugins to help with a development project I’m working on. Well, to register and decrypt the plugins, I had to run an application that required the libstdc++.so.5 library which has long been deprecated. I found some help from the following web site however: http://bootstrapping.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/missing-libstdc-so-5-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ Here’s the magic to get this to [...]

Text to Speech on Linux
I was playing with my new Ubuntu 9.10 installation and was wondering if the system could do some Text To Speech tricks. Sure enough. Not just one TTS utility, but two! The first utility is “ESPEAK” and should be installed by default on your system. From the command line, give this a try: espeak “Hello [...]

CULLYTech Timer v1.3
More good feedback and more changes to the CULLYTech Pomodoro Timer. There are new VCR style buttons for play and stop. There is a new Pause button! Handy for when you are interrupted. It happens in real life, so I thought I’d put on a pause button. I’ve made small improvements on letting you know [...]
