Happy hacking!

Finally the second semester is over, and the summer exams sessions is about to begin (that means I have the first exam tomorrow - Digital Computers 2). I've made it through the pending homeworks and projects, at least for now.
Emil has been very supportive and now I can draw an outline of things that need to be done by the interim report on 9th July. So, here goes (in a preliminary order, not necessarily the final one):

• thoroughly go through the developer documentation. Getting familiar with unit-testing and JUnit in particular is a must
• have a working copy of the latest CVS sources for SIP and RSS4SC. I've made it once, I can do it again. I'll work with Eclipse under Linux. Last time I checked the Eclipse how-to was a little out-of-date, but I think things got better with the beggining of SoC.
• go through the current implementation of RSS4SC to get an idea of how things ar done (reinventing the wheel is bad)
  
• write unit tests for testing the RSS plugin for SIP Communicator
• complete the current RSS4SC implementation with some other features that I mentioned in my application (for instance, using a site's favicon as a contact image for a RSS feed)
• bug-fixing (one annoying bug found at the moment is the inabilty to read the news.google.com feeds).

And in between all this, I should also get my exams going :)

Un debut attarde

Bien qu'on m'ait dit que toute communication regardant SIP se fera en anglais je prends le risque d'ecrire ce premier post en francais. Des que les choses deviendront plus techniques (j'espere que ce sera la semaine prochaine), je "switcherai" sur anglais.
Pour l'instant, je veux faire deux choses:

• remercier Emil et toute l'equipe de SIP pour l'opportunite qu'ils m'ont offert
• finir tous les devoirs, pour que la session commence sans stress additionel :)

A bientot,
