I downloaded “Internet Explorer 9 Beta” a couple of weeks ago. I have been consistently using it since then. I must say that the experience so far has been awesome! Browsing is smoother – Windows 7 Integration is nice! – It is much much much much faster than IE8 – It renders most of the [...]

We are about to begin on a project that requires us to have floating and transparent widgets over VTK render-window output. About a year back, we had wanted to provide something similar to VTK Designer 2. We wanted users to have the ability to load UI (created using Qt Designer) directly on the VTK output [...]

Over the past few weeks we have been playing around with CMake and we figured that it would be a good idea to have GCF build-able using CMake. There are a few open-source projects that make use of GCF with CMake anyway; we figured it would be a good idea to have a CMake build-system [...]

For the very first time in my life work-life have I noticed someone in my circle actually getting IT returns. I am infact supposed to get some money back from the IT department myself, however I had (until-now) given up hope on actually receiving the returns. Even after repeated follow-ups, I have until now never [...]

About a year ago I had blogged about how Taray had signed an OEM deal with Cadence. [http://prashanthudupa.livejournal.com/42294.html].

[Update - 25th April 2011: Qt Creator 2.0+ has a much better support for custom class and/or project wizards here: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtcreator-snapshot/creator-project-wizards.html] Qt Creator comes built in with a set of project/class/file wizards. These wizards are great to get started with, but I always wished if there were an easy way to add support for more [...]
