Available for work

Filed under: GNOME, PlanetRDF, Python — JBowtie @ 9:40 am

My employer is looking to move all development work to Australia. As a result, I’ll become available in the very near future.

I’m looking to continue working with RDF, Python and Linux (I prefer GNOME, Ubuntu and Debian personally). I have a strong background in C#, C++, and Windows, so would consider Mono work, including porting things away from Windows. I am really interesting in escalating my involvement in free software - in fact I’m about to join OASIS as an individual.

I won’t leave the Wellington, New Zealand area, but am certainly willing to entertain offers to work remotely. If you’re interested, e-mail me at jbowtie AT amathaine.com and I’ll drop you a CV to peruse. In the meantime it looks like I’ll have a chance to catch up on some of my deferred writing and projects.

Redland Windows 1.0.3 ready

Filed under: PlanetRDF, Python — JBowtie @ 9:20 am

Built and signed the files some time ago, but due to other time commitments didn’t get around to announcing them. You can download them from their temporary location: http://nzlinux.virtuozzo.co.nz/files/redland/1.0.3/

I’ve made some changes to the packaging. I use deferred linking for the MySQL backend, so no longer include the mysql client dll. I’ve statically linked the sqlite3 backend, so it’s built in. The rapper and rasqal programs are included in the DLLs package.

Finally, I’ve only produced Python and C# bindings this go round. I will be releasing an update with Postges support, but I’m not sure of the timeline right now. PHP bindings will require me to update to the latest SWIG to build properly, and I need to investigate options for producing Ruby bindings as a single statically linked DLL (because Gems packaging for bindings is broken on Windows).
