			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I needed an easy way to set timers on my desktop PC. All I really want is to set a countdown in hours, minutes and seconds, and have it alert me when that time has elapsed. I couldn&#039;t find anything simple with some exceptions that wouldn&#039;t compile (anymore) due to missing libs (which weren&#039;t available in Xubuntu). So I whipped up my own.</p>
<p>You can download it <a href="http://www.electricmonk.nl/Programmings/GCountDown">from its home page</a>, and here&#039;s a screenshot of the thing:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.electricmonk.nl/log/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/gcountdown.p.png"><img src="http://www.electricmonk.nl/log/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/gcountdown.p.png" alt="" title="gcountdown.p" width="345" height="227" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4700" /></a></p>
<p>Additionally, I was quite amazed at how easy it is to write GUI applications using just GTK in combination with Glade. Writing this tool took me only about an hour, with no previous knowledge. All it really required was creating a <a href="http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkstatusicon.html">GTK Status Icon</a> with an <tt>active</tt> signal handler. The handler pops up an interface put together in <a href="http://glade.gnome.org/">Glade</a> by loading the <tt>gcountdown.glade</tt> file using <tt>gtk.glade.XML()</tt>. Connecting signals to the widgets is also super easy with <tt>signal_autoconnect()</tt>.</p>
<p>Take a look at the <a href="https://svn.electricmonk.nl/svn/gcountdown/trunk/src/gcountdown">source code</a>. It&#039;s only a measly 136 lines.</p>

<li>Added locked chests (automatically disappear when placed after random time).
</li>
<li>Fishing rods can no longer be stacked in safe mode.
</li>
<li>Added the &#039;loseme&#039; command. It clears the inventory and transports the player in a random direction for a given distance. The objective is to find your way back.

</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve released a new version of my Minecraft Player/World Editor <a href="http://www.electricmonk.nl/Programmings/MCPlayerEdit">MCPlayerEdit v0.14</a>. This release features the following modifications and additions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Added a &#039;thunder&#039; command with which you can influence thunderstorms.
</li>
<li>Added an &#039;nbtset&#039; command that lets you manually set values for NBT tags in the save file. See &#039;nbtdump&#039; for a list of available NBT tags.
</li>
<li>Added an &#039;unsafe&#039; command that turns on/off safe mode.
</li>
<li>Renamed the &#039;dump&#039; command to &#039;nbtdump&#039;.
</li>
<li>Renamed the &#039;Spade&#039; items to &#039;Shovel&#039;.
</li>
<li>Renamed the &#039;Redstone torch On&#039; to &#039;Redstone torch&#039;.
</li>
<li>Implemented Safe Mode. In safe mode <span class='wikiword'>MCPlayerEdit</span> will prevent you from doing things which are not allowed in Minecraft or might damage your save file. Turn off with &#039;safemode off&#039;.
</li>
<li>The &#039;give&#039; command now accepts counts higher than 64 (or the maximum stack size for the item in question), in which case it will add multiple stacks to the inventory.
</li>
</ul>
<p>I neglected to mention releases v0.13 and v0.12 here, so I&#039;ll list the changes in those version here too:</p>
<ul>
<li>Added a command &#039;rain&#039; with which you can influence the weather.
</li>
<li>Fixed a bug in the &#039;reload&#039; command where the prompt would change to the file location instead of the worldname on reloading.
</li>
<li>Added a &#039;dump&#039; command which dumps the level.dat&#039;s NBT structure and values. Mostly useful for developers of <span class='wikiword'>MCPlayerEdit</span>/Minecraft.
</li>
<li>Added Spruce/Birch saplings (Patch by rilian4)
</li>
<li>Added Powered/Detector rail (Patch by rilian4)
</li>
<li>Renamed &#034;Minecart Track&#034; item to &#034;Rail&#034;.
</li>
</ul>
<p>You can get the new version <a href="http://www.electricmonk.nl/Programmings/MCPlayerEdit">Here</a>.</p>
