Announcing Pomodroid release for the general public

February 14th, 2010 bodom_lx No comments

I’m very pleased to announce that Pomodroid, a project on which I worked for three months with a University mate, has now been released for the general public.

Pomodroid is a Java/Android application that interacts with a Trac system, retrieves developer’s tasks and lets him work following the basic rules of the Pomodoro technique.
Pomodroid focuses on basic features of the technique. It does not focus on advanced techniques, such as the prediction of the number of Pomodoros needed for an activity. See “Features and limitations” for more details.

Welcome Activity

You can read more on the official page of the project, which is http://task3.cc/projects/pomodroid/.
The projects still needs some cleanup because of internal features used in the University that are not of interestet for the public. It is also very limited right now. Everybody is free to download the code and contribute. It will be soon published on the market. Enjoy!

About the Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that can be used for any kind of task. For many people, time is an enemy. The anxiety triggered by “the ticking clock”, especially when a deadline is involved, leads to ineffective work and study habits which in turn lead to procrastination. The aim of the Pomodoro Technique is to use time as a valuable ally in accomplishing what we want to do in the way we want to do it, and to enable us to continually improve the way we work or study.

The Technique is heavily explained on a 60+ pages book published on the website. Please visit the official website for more explanations.

We implemented Pomotux for the Software Engineering Project course, and it currently works under Gnu/Linux. Project page is located here. We are looking for coders to port it under Mac Os X, *BSD and Windows!

Announcing BD-review, a free platform for music reviews written using JavaEE

July 29th, 2009 bodom_lx No comments

BD-review is a dynamic website to allow people to review releases (albums, demos, EPs, singles) of (young, unsigned) music bands. The project is the outcome of the Internet Technologies course at the Faculty of Computer Science of the Free University of Bolzano. The requirements of the project were to build a website using a small subset of JavaEE technologies, without the use of web-frameworks.

The project is not really meant for production use. It was made as a strong, working and correct base for studying JavaEE academically. It should be useful for every student (also non-student) willing to have an overview on JSP and study it. The code is well-written, uses MVC, and the whole project is documented in detail in a 20+ pages report.

Read more on the project page, download the sources and play with it! Please let me know about your experience with BD-review code.
