Mac OS service for displaying biggest files in the directory

Having solved the problem of locating the biggest files in a folder, I decided to create a service that would do the same in Finder, showing results in a dialog window.

Documenting a Qt project with QDoc

When I needed to generate documentation for my projects, I used Doxygen. It’s a quite useful tool that parses specially formated comments in your project’s source code to produce documentation pages for it. Mostly I used it to document my Qt projects.

To my shame, I didn’t know that Qt has such a tool out-of-the-box - it is the QDoc. In this article I’ll show you how to document a custom QML type (Qt Quick control) with QDoc and also how to make the result look a bit less dull.

Creating a Telegram IV template for a blog on Octopress

Today Telegram announced Instant Views for Everyone. Instant View (IV) has appeared about half a year ago, and back then I was asking about how can we prepare our web-pages to support it, but I never got the answer. And now I see why - there is really no need to do anything on your side - you just need to create a special rule (template) for IV parser at the Instant View Platform.

For those, who (like me) has an Octopress-based blog, it is an extremely easy thing to do.

Atom for Python development

Despite the fact of being Electron-based, Atom is a really great editor, and it can be used for Python development.

I was looking for something like this, not a full-blown Java-based IDE, but merely a text editor with syntax checking and highlighting. Sublime Text is a great thing too, but for this particular purpose I liked Atom more.

…Well, you can, but only with auto-discovery search, you cannot specify the IP address of projector. And it wasn’t an easy way to discover this.

Installing Qt for the first time

I saw today a question about installing Qt with the official installer: “What’s the proper configuration or setup in the installation menu? It shows whole bunch of options and I have no idea what to select or deselect”.

Indeed, as I now remember my first time I was installing Qt, for me it also looked completely not-intuitive in regard to what do I need to install and what is what in general. So, here’s an article about it.
