Return to Development

Return to Development on Windows Vista Ultimate


Well, all systems are up and running again. I returned to developing Tenka Text on a more serious system. Just check the screenshot to get an idea of how great a bliss my new environment turns the whole business into.

I am using
  • Windows Vista Ultimate
  • Visual Studio 2005
  • Tortoise SVN
  • Ankh SVN
  • SourceGrid

at the this stage of development.

Levenshtein Distance Algorithm: Fastest Implementation in C#

Image
Here is a cleaned-up performance test for several different implementations of levenshtein I have blogged about recently. This test was emailed to me by Ahmed Ghoneim, who has also kindly agreed to its publication on my blog. I am very grateful to him for his excellent contribution. I have slightly altered his file to do away with the unnecessary local variables in my C2C# port of the GNULevenshtein method. I would like to hear from you which methods perform best on your machine. Please drop a comment ^_^! LevenshteinAlgorithmPerformanceTest.cs code only Packages code, data and sample binary in zip and self-executable zip formats Please note that the GNULevenshtein method was found to be buggy! Here is the new replacement method .

Mono 1.2.5 binaries for Solaris 10/x86

WordSmith Tools 5.0, Tenka Text in China

Mike Scott has finally released a public beta of WordSmith Tools 5.0 . I want to quote him on a few points: System Requirements WordSmith Tools 5 is for Windows 2000 or later. It will be happiest on a fairly modern PC (e.g bought in the last 4 years) with plenty of memory and hard disk space. Or an Intel Mac running Windows . Now that's an interesting world view we have here. What's an Intel Mac anyway? It's a PC produced by Apple. So this sentence actually reads: System Requirements: a PC running Windows or a PC (produced by Apple) running Windows. Technically deep Mr. Scott seems to be. -__-" Here is my favourite one: What's new in version 5 WordSmith is organic software ! Version 4 was a complete new re-write. Since it was launched in 2004, numerous re-compilations of WS4 were issued (about one a week on average), sometimes with a very small bug-fix but other times incorporating changes users had suggested. At the same time the Help was updated. Version 5.0 was...
