I have set up an Amazon wish list should anyone want to reward me for my work.

Bonny Scotland

I had to go up to a funeral this week. It was my better half’s granny. It was a sad day but the funeral went without problems, which was nice.
We had a nice time shopping and sight seeing there too.
We went to Provand’s Lordship which is the oldest house in Glasgow. It is filled with furniture from the period and has some interesting biography information on people from Glasgow.
We also went to People’s Palace. This place was better but we didn’t really get to look around. It has a history of the city including WWII.
We also squeezed in a quick trip to the Science Centre. It used to be free but now you have to pay to get in. It is quite expensive for what it is. I am not sure I would recommend it.
I also got some kick ass headphones (thanks to my misses!). link They are awesome headphones, much better than my last two pairs!!
CheckstyleAS3 progress
by eamonn on Aug.23, 2008, under development
I have committed a version of the project I am happy with. There have been a few changes.
I was deciding whether to parse the body of a method and then use that parsing to build up a model of the method or to use regular expressions per test. I decided to use regular expressions for each test. I think it will make testing and developing easier.
I have the model of the method body ready and I am starting to develop checks for the code.
The latest version is committed into the google svn repository. The development rate of the project should improve now as I have the basic setup all testable and working. Feel free to post some suggestions on tests (at the google issues page :p).
Code checked in
by eamonn on Aug.15, 2008, under development
I have taken the plunge and checked in my checkstyleas3 code.
It is available from the google svn repos. The tests are failing and there is no coverage for the new changes and the kind contribution from the pyparser author is not included. I will try and get those done on my lunch.
CheckstyleAS3 update
by eamonn on Aug.09, 2008, under development
I am making some progress with this today.
I am working on getting the unit tests of asdox passing with my changes. I know this is wrong in terms of TDD but i was not sure if I would be able to parse the parts of AS3 code i wanted to.
I have set up the proper project structure and will be adding the code to the google svn repository as soon as the tests are passing, hopefully today!
Soul Calibur IV
by eamonn on Aug.07, 2008, under Uncategorized
I got this game for my 360 and I have to say it is a little too easy. I completed it first time on Normal. I am now playing through it on hard which is a little more difficult.
The combos in the new game do not feel so fluid. The characters feel slower than they did on the old Dreamcast one. I have only tried the story mode so far which has been a little disappointing. The cut scenes are average and the end cut scene was disappointing.
I will post more once I play it a little more
Pyparsing
by eamonn on Aug.07, 2008, under development
I am looking at pyparsing and it looks very good. I am looking at extending the grammar included in ASDox to include information about methods. I am not sure this is worth while.
I have two possible approaches to the CheckstyleAS3 project:
1) I can build up a complete grammar and make thus contribute to ASDox and the grammar project forking off of that. This will make my work much harder now but will make the rule matching easier.
2) I can not build up the grammar and use regular expressions for the rule matching. This will make the current work much easier but means not contributing and making the work later a harder.
I will mull this over for a few days I think!
