Notemeister
| 16/10/2008 | Posted by Pete under General |
I have decided that I will take over development of the Notemeister project. In the absence of any contact from the original author, and in note of the fact that the code is licenced under GPLv2, I have created a fork of the project that can be found at http://github.com/robotii/notemeister/tree/master. No changes have been made to the original code as yet, although one thing I’m considering is to change the name of the project.
Future enhancements are likely to include OPML support for exporting and importing, and a general tidy up and freshening of the UI. I would appreciate any ideas or comments on what to do with the project, as there are sure to be some ideas that I haven’t yet thought of.
The original Sourceforge page of the project is here if anyone wants to look and see what the project is all about. I have included the project description below.
Notemeister is a small, simple note organizer made for the GNOME2 desktop. It’s features include:
- Notes stored in a tree view and structure
- Drag and drop support for reordering notes
- Simple text formatting by highlighted bounds
- Auto-save feature
- Import/Export to/from text files
- Link notes to a file on disk
Currently, dependancies include:
- Python 2.3.3
- PyGTK >= 2.3.92 (unstable 2.4)
- PyOrbit 2.0.0
- GNOME-Python 2.0.2
Currently I am unable to maintain the sourceforge page for the project, so this is a code only fork.
Ideas and suggestions can be posted below until I get a better solution in place.

Name change on this site
| 16/10/2008 | Posted by Pete under News |
I have recently changed the theme and name for this site to be more indicative of what the site is. It is no longer called “Images of Broken Light” as it was previously, and I have resorted to calling the site Robotii after the domain name. This is in an effort to make the branding of the site consistent, and will probably result in a drop in traffic.
The reason for doing so, is that there is no need for the site to have a title which is completely different from the url. Any comments, questions or suggestions can be added below.

Tomboy notes
| 3/10/2008 | Posted by Pete under Software |
Currently I am using a tool called Tomboy to store notes and other information. Tomboy allows you to store notes with wiki linking and formatting. There are also plugins that allow you to add sketches to notes, set reminders and add the current time and date to a note.
It is also possible to export notes in various different formats and, thanks to the d-bus interface, possible to interact with Tomboy programmatically. In short Tomboy is an excellent tool for Linux users — and hopefully soon for windows users.
About Tomboy
Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day.
Have you ever felt the frustration at not being able to locate a website you wanted to check out, or find an email you found interesting, or remember an idea about the direction of the political landscape in post-industrial Australia? Or are you one of those desperate souls with home-made, buggy, or not-quite-perfect notes systems?
Time for Tomboy. We bet you’ll be surprised at how well a little application can make life less cluttered and run more smoothly.
Tomboy is currently in pre-release development, but you can still try it out. Tomboy is written in C# and utilizes the Mono runtime and Gtk#. Automatic spell-checking is provided by GtkSpell.
