About

I am a computer scientist in my past profession.  I program for fun, for the intellectual challenge.

Usually I blog about process: how to do something in programming.  Recently, about various aspects of compiling and publishing an app.  My blogs are mostly droll unless you’re a programmer who writes object oriented, GUI programs using a high level language such as Python, and intend to distribute your apps widely.

One of my projects is a 2D drawing app (Pensool) using:

  • Python (language),
  • Qt (framework)
  • PyQt (a Python to Qt binding)
  • pyqtdeploy (a tool for compiling Python apps for many platforms

2D drawing apps are common as mud, but Pensool has a unique user interface that should be portable across desktop and mobile (phone) platforms.  So I am interested in:

  • universal user interfaces (using mouse or multi-touch)
  • cross compiling to Android and iOS
