64-bit version of Evildesk

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:56:45 -0500

I have manually installed some of the files from the 64-bit Evildesk 0.9.0 distribution for use as a GUI shell with WinPE 3.0 [Windows 7 based]. It works reasonably well but there are a few minor, mostly cosmetic but workable, incompatibilities.

Now that Evildesk has become open source, I hope other developers will be willing to continue its development.

Is there any way that I could encourage others to pick-up on this project?

A response would be greatly appreciated.

State of affairs

Hi Wez

Thank you so much for putting this up. I'm currently investigating how to implement my own <a href="http://pastebin.com/613mFGsB">PHP meta language</a> and was just wondering if your lemon-php and JLexPHP are "done" in the sense of being ready to implement a full programming language in?

Thx for your time!

if you can open regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Change the Shell value to Explorer.EXE

Thanks!

Thanks for this script!

I used it along with a few hundred lines of test data in a script to test a form that I built. The script worked great!!!

OpenID, it works OK

I got an OpenID service. However, I can't get it to work with OpenID 2 but OpenID 1 works fine. I decided to write my own OpenID service instead of using an existing one, because that is what I am. I don't need to use Yadis, though. This is the library I used (now you can learn to write your own, too, if that is what you prefer): <a href="http://openidenabled.com/php-openid/">http://openidenabled.com/php-openid/</a>

Source code

I can't seem to find an email address, so I can't contact you directly --- I hope you get notified when people post comments...

I'm working on something similar, and would be very interested to see how you did this; did you ever make the source code available?

You can email me at dg@cowlark.com.

Thank Roland!

This script works quite well, and is avoids the memory leak issue.

= Installation was pretty smooth

= Looks nice - well like trak ;)

* I could not work out how it could be used in a public project scenario, where people could sign up to create bug reports.. - I'm guessing this was not the target audience.

* Mailing lists, Always wondered about their effectiveness on new projects - Perhaps ilia's FUD Forum to start of with.. - then if it gathers interest move to a mailing list...

Anyway keep blogging about it, and keep everyone updated.

Demo page

I threw a demo up at http://mtrack.hermanradtke.com. I get some errors, so maybe I installed wrong. Feel free to check it out.

Meh

Seems like <a> tags aren't allowed as much as advertised, or maybe it's because I omitted the title attribute, anyways sorry for the messy comment.

Migration from redmine

http://openid.seld.be/ — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 22:15:50 -0500

@Yannick: I don't want to hijack the topic, and I fully appreciate the work put in this project, but you may be interested in some import script I just wrote for Redmine > <a href="http://arbitracker.org/arbit.html">Arbit</a>. It's not for mtrack, but if you're interested in trying out another promising php tracker, stop by irc on freenode/<a href="irc://irc.freenode.org/arbit">#arbit</a> and I can get you set up to try the importer.

Now Wez all the best with mtrack, I hope someone sets up a public one somewhere so I can try it, even though I'm not too keen on switching off arbit now that I just moved to it, but I'm curious nonetheless.

Cheers

migration

I called it out above:

* Includes an importer to migrate your Trac project(s) into mtrack.

More documentation on this can be found in docs:

http://bitbucket.org/wez/mtrack/src...s/help/bin/Init

I also want to kindly suggest that future commenters respect the time I've taken to write things down by reading them before asking questions; thanks!

migration path?

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:05:32 -0500

Really interested in this - is there any migration path from Trac? (e.g. can mtrack read trac's sqlite database? Any scripts which migrate from one to the other etc etc etc)

Would love to see more screenshots or a demo...

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:48:23 -0500

If someone does setup a demo install, please post a link here as it would be great to be able to see what mtrack looks like.

Demo?

anon — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:35:22 -0500

Hi there,

I'm also using Redmine at the moment, but there are a lot of memory-related problems (bad garbage collector?)

Any demo install to quick-try mtrack?

Sending binary data

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:01:30 -0500

Great code! But was wondering, how do I send binary data, such as an image?

Congrats

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:00:40 -0500

I will try mtrack tonight, Wez.

Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Php 4.4.4 + PECL impossible? Need to create an exe win service

anon — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:17:49 -0500

Good morning everybody,

I'm afraid this blog is dead as I didn't find any other comment after 2005 .. 5 years ago! :(

Anyway I'm using bamcompile a great single EXE compiler for php.. with some limitations..: cannot use php higher than V.4.4.4 and cannot use foreach (array_expression as $key => $value).

Now, the problem is that I'd like to write a single exe Window Service as my little webcheck php program runs quite well, but is not able to run before user logon.

I thought it was MUCH simpler to create a Win32 Service application but instead I discovered I need a lot more code with no dll support in php 4.4.4.

Shell

anon — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:22:29 -0500

Good job & thanks for sharing.

I am using it for last few days and so far so good.

The only glitch I experienced was when i started it for the first time after installation and reboot. For some reason graphic cards color scheme was changed to 8 bit from 24. Other than that i have not seen any problems. shell is responsive and has good usability.

I also installed it on Vista ultimate and is working just fine.
