nprof alpha 0.0 released

The nprof 0.0 alpha release is now available! It’s mostly a proof-of-concept release, but it will profile most applications. Please try it out (see the download link here) and send me some feedback.

nprof alpha 0.0 in the works

The first version of nprof (0.0) is in preparation for release.

The currently available features are:

  • Multithreaded profilee support
  • Callee function timing
  • Basic GUI interface
  • Sort by timing info

nprof is designed to be not only a profiling application, but a fully-featured API that can be used to build other profilers, as well as extend the default API.

See the project page (no longer available!) for more information.

PNG OpenDVD Artwork

I’ve made a PNG version of my OpenDVD artwork available for download. The server doesn’t support .png properly, so you might have trouble viewing the image without the supporting HTML.

OpenDVD Artwork

Take a look at my OpenDVD artwork here. I’ve taken the CSS code and made it into a neat little image you could print and put on a poster or something. Warning: it’s about 120kB and pure HTML!

BTW, if you’re one of the many people like me worried about losing your freedom to view a movie you have legally purchased (shades of DIVX anyone?), go to OpenDVD, and support the good guys: the Electronic Frontier Foundation (the EFF).
