Tiny eeepc in the shack

June 7, 2008 by Alexandru Csete

I guess it had to happen sooner or later… I couldn’t resist any longer and I finally got my hands on a eeepc. It should be quite fun taking into account that I bought it in Germany with QWERTZ keyboard.

Wanna Buy Grig?

March 20, 2007 by Alexandru Csete

Madness has no limits. A recent discovery on eBay proves this: Someone took the trouble to package Grig and sell it for $9.95 as if it was some sort of comercial off the shelf software.

Tke Sky at a Glance

February 25, 2007 by Alexandru Csete

Although gpredict has some very good satellite pass prediction functions, I have been missing a sky at a glance feature that can quickly show when the satellites will be up during the next X hours. After a few weeks of casual hacking, this feature is now ready for testing.

Gpredict Cross-Compiled for Win32 Target

January 9, 2007 by Alexandru Csete

Finally, success!
Following the grig cross build procedure, I have managed to cross compile gpredict, too. Theoretically, it should have gone right away, nevertheless, I ran into few issues along the way.

Grig for Windows – This Time Working!

January 3, 2007 by Alexandru Csete

Tonight, I have released Gpredict 0.7.0 containing the automatic TLE update feature, satellite ground tracks, and improved single pass prediction doalogue.

December 28, 2006 by Alexandru Csete

I haven’t done any work on grig for the last couple of months. It seems most users are happy with it (or just left giving up every hope).

Networking Library for Gpredict

October 2, 2006 by Alexandru Csete

I have spent quite some time lately in trying to figure out how I should implement the automatic TLE update in Gpredict. The idea is that Gpredict should be able to fetch fresh TLE data from the internet, via HTTP or FTP, and update the contents of the local file.

Gpredict 0.6.1 in Debian/testing

September 24, 2006 by Alexandru Csete

Phew… it seems that the new gpredict has finally made it into the debian/testing repository. Now I don’t have to worry anymore about a new debian coming out with the old gpredict Thanks to Hamish for packaging.

Gpredict for Windows

September 17, 2006 by Alexandru Csete

I guess it had to come sooner or later: A native build of gpredict for Windows XP is now available for download. And the worst part of it all is that I have built it myself. Why do I bother, I keep asking myself…
