Exhibition Flora's Feast at the Halles Saint-Géry in Brussels – from 7 February to 30 April 2015
The floral pattern in Art Nouveau
The floral pattern is used in the decorative arts or architecture since time immemorial and in almost all cultures. However, at the time of Art Nouveau, it is reinvented in our area upon contact with Japan of which borders open from 1868. Our artists discover then how their colleagues looked at nature: Japanese artists accepted the nature how she presented itself in reality, with its imperfections and its fragilities, and enhanced its particularities through their art. Flowers that can be found on Japanese fabrics, lacquered items or engravings presented a surprising aspect, sometimes tortuous, even withered, which was not habitual in our area. This new look at nature opened new ways of inspiration to our Belgian artists, withered with the academic repertoire. Our Art Nouveau overflows thus of original interpretations of the flower, under all its forms and colors. Our exhibition presents to you several examples through, among others, some posters, stained-glasses or sgraffitos from Brussels.
Curator: Guy Conde-Reis
Scientific collaboration : Françoise Aubry (Horta Museum, Saint-Gilles) et Eric Hennaut (Pechère Library).
This exhibition organised by the Réseau Art Nouveau Network at the initiative of the Monuments and Sites Directorate of the Brussels Regional Public Service in the framework of the "Art Nouveau & Ecology" project.
A book, in progress, will develop the subject (publishing around March).

Temporary opening of the Autrique House in Brussels – from 16 February to 31 December 2015
Due to restoration works on the façades and a updating of the scenography, the opening to the public will be reduced from Monday 16 February 2015 and until the end of the year. Meanwhile only temporary events and visits by appointment, function of the restoration works' schedule, will be possible.
For ten years, the Autrique House is opened to the public thanks to the joint determination of several friends and the intervention of the Schaerbeek Municipality which was the purchaser of the property. François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters are initiators of the rehabilitation project of this youth work of the famous Victor Horta. They made it a "house of houses", a poetic home suspended in time.

II coupDefouet International Congress in Barcelona – from 25 to 28 June 2015
Breaking the Art Nouveau Glass Ceiling
The Art Nouveau European Route brings together local governments and other institutions in the common quest for the protection, promotion and diffusion of Art Nouveau heritage. To fully explore and bring to light the value of Art Nouveau heritage, therefore, a Congress organised by the Art Nouveau European Route cannot limit its scope to the analyses and interpretation of the tangible heritage; it must go deeper into the reality of the communities that created it.
In this second edition of the coupDefouet International Congress, we propose to shed new light on an aspect that has been studied very little, if at all: the important contribution of women artists to the development of Art Nouveau. In a nutshell: women as artists, women as creators, women as promoters and protagonists of Art Nouveau. Coupled with this ambition, we also wish to revisit the widely studied and interpreted representation of the female aesthetic and ideal in Art Nouveau, with new contributions on the matter.
A further strand will focus on little-known Art Nouveau cities, in which we expect to discover creative centres of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that have not until now been widely publicised. A similar section on research in progress to the first congress, one in which we welcome presentations from both seasoned and young researchers, will complete the thematic strands of the programme.

Let's clear up some confusion about "dementia" and "Alzheimer's disease." The words are sometimes used interchangeably, or people think that if they are told they have dementia that means they don't have Alzheimer's.
Dementia is not a specific disease. Dementia is simply a word for a group of symptoms that affect cognition and thinking. These symptoms can include:
These symptoms can be caused by conditions that include underactive thyroid, vitamin deficiency, brain tumors and depression. Even certain medications can cause dementia symptoms.
If these conditions are present and treated, dementia symptoms often improve. However, if during an evaluation these reversible causes of dementia symptoms are ruled out then the probable cause may be due to a progressive, non-reversible disease such Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia or vascular dementia. For a description of each of these causes, please see the dementia article in the See Also area below.

We are having to move my mother, with dementia, into a group home since she is in need of continual care. She will not be able to keep her two cats, and we are wondering whether to tell her a week or two before the move or simply mention it when we move her in. Any thoughts? Her cats have been her world for four years and she will be very upset and confused. Is it best to give her time to dwell on it?
My husband is 51 years old and was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment 4 years ago. Today, that has progressed to worsening symptoms of confusion, memory loss (names, putting things in the wrong places), inability to concentrate, inability to be in a group of people because he can't focus on a conversation, poor balance, poor reflexes, emotion spells, unable to work because his driving is unsafe. Yet we are having a hard time getting a diagnosis and help for him. I think because of his age, the neurologists we've seen are hesitant to diagnose him with alzheimers/dementia, or whatever he has! He has applied for SS disability for which he's been denied like a million times. This is a very frustrating illness. Does anyone have any advice that could help us??? We are desperate and at a loss. We live in NW Indiana so the doctors are limited (and so is money available to pay said doctors now that he isn't working). I sincerely appreciate any help. Rita
Hello. I'm a 26yr old mom & wife. I've been forgetful since I was 13. At age 18, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Have tried several medications but nothing seems to help. At age 25, I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome hypermobility type with some classical type symptoms. I have a few secondary conditions like Fibromyalgia & POTS. My memory is worse now than ever. I can't even remember how often & when my husband has helped me with laundry. I have almost all of the symptoms of Dementia. Who should I consult with, a neurologist? Thanks.
My Step father is 73 will be 74 in November, We have had him back and forth to the doctors. No one will give us a for sure answer. He has admitted that he knows there is something wrong with him while talking to my sister one day and knew what he was talking about. Its like he has certain phases and will go in and out. He will call my mom his mother (MA) & will look right at my mom and ask her where she is and she is standing right there. I have a nephew that is 11, the oldest one out of all four grand kids to my step father. He asked my mom and sister if my nephew ever got his car started, we stated to him that my nephew does not have a car and at least he dont even have a drivers license and that he is only 11. He said no I meant his little remote control car. My step father also will be sitting somewhere and we can hear him talking and we will ask who he is talking to and he will tell us that he is talking to his sister or his mother anyone that has passed away basically. He thinks that my mother is His mother and he thinks that my sister is his girlfriend. There are times that he will be talking abt things that do not make sense, repeats him self a lot, He sleeps a lot, during the day & when it comes night time he cant sleep but he is out for hours during the day. we have noticed when he sleeps that his mouth droops to one side He's very delusioinal, there is no sense of location & does not know where he is half the time. he also have no sense of money either
Did any of your loved ones take Chantix?
Having memory issues including unable to state address but able to write it. Unfamiliar with computer site I had been familiar with, forgetting phone numbers I give or use often. Saw my MD was referred to specialist not covered by any insurance. Curious whether hormones,concussion that read neg.,and /or low b12 could have this much affect on me or should I spend all my savings on specialist
If someone is exposed to carbon monoxide in smalls doses but over a long perid of time but is diagnosed with AD due to symptoms that mimic each other, would a PET Scan be able to tell the difference - possbile misdiagnosis of AD? Would that be treatable?
I tried to discuss with my mother's neurologist that her symptoms to me seem more like vascular or frontalobe demention. The neurologist snapped that it did not matter whether my mother's diagnosis is Alzehimers or some other type of dementia because it is all the same and treated the same. He prescribed Namenda. Any comments or insight about this woule be welcomed.
My dad may have had a stroke about 5 yrs ago (the drs seem to waffle and i cant get a straight answer from him), and he did have a heart attack last year. He is 73. He has always been one who has to be right and in charge, but recently he has to challenge everything anyone says. If i say "thats a nice red flower," he is sure to argue it isn't red, not a flower or say i'm wrong for liking it. This challenging is driving a lot of us in the family nuts. He also falls asleep alot during the day now, and often has problems finding the right word, usually longer or more technical words though. His memory seems fine, though he has been losing things for years. Last, we have small kids and have noticed his judgement with them is just getting bad. Things like telling us were silly for making a 5 yr old wear a lifejacket in a boat. Are these signs, or is he just getting older. Any thoughts?
Just curious...what accounts for occasional lucidity with a dementia patient???
my husband was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia last month at Mayos Rochester. I need input from other Lewy body caregivers in terms of progression, longevity, etc. Thank you.
january 12 2011 I wrote along with add/adhd and memory loss I was allso abused as a child with beatings to my head 5yr off head baging against the walls on concrete and my head being pulled down the flights of stairs. If cat scan is not showing any shrinkage to brain then what other test can be taken
age 51 women that has ADD/ADHD severe clinicl dignose case is having on going memory loss slow over past 4 years but has been getting worse. went for cat scan of brain shows negitive in shrinkage of brain. took test for neuropsychological below average woking memory verbal comprehension below woking average score
My uncle at the age of 65 has severe dementia (it runs in my mother's family). He is going blind because of cataracts and eye pressure. His wife is concerned about what this will do to his confusion issues. We can't seem to find an answer of whether it is wise to put him through the surgery, or allow him to continue to go blind. Which is the intelligent choice? His doctors have not been able to answer that question.
my husband who had had very mild dementia has gone from mild to very serious in the period of two weeks. four weeks ago he was driving. he fell and injured his arm. after he came home i got exhausted and over my objections he was put into a nursing home. two days later he was halucinating and continuall talking. usually thinking he was the pope or speeking german. he is continually saying that he is dead or that we are all dead. he was in the hospital for 8 days and has been home under 24 hour nursing care and getting worse every day. the cat was negative. except for the shots given him in the hospital and a reaction to both seraquil and namenda there are no causes. any suggestions.
To Linda, many times the stress or lack of sleep of caregiving can impact your own physical or emotional health. Talk to your own doctor about the word finding difficulty, and if s/he doesn't find anything wrong, it may be the stress of caregiving. Your doctor can also track your changes over time to see if it's getting worse in purportion to the stress or sleep loss etc.
Is there such a condition as the caregiver's dementia? I feel like I can't find words as I am talking when doing business and is embarrising. My husband and I are taking care of his 94 year old mother with dementia. She has been in our home for 2 years. I am very stressed.
I understand that dementia is a condition and Alzheimer's is a diagnosis, but what is the advantage to a nursing home or home care client to have the Alzheimer's diagnosis? The client is in the FAST stage 7d and is going to be evaluated for hospice Monday. He is private pay, so I'm hoping to keep costs low with Medicare helping with the bill. He has used his Medicare hospital-to-nursing care days.
I think one of the scariest aspects of both Alzheimer's and dementia is the fact that, as the loved one becomes progressively more confused, the chances of them wandering off/getting lost increase dramatically. I mean, the chances of finding a missing person alive after 24 hours is around 54% according to the American Alzheimer's Association (reported in '08, I believe). That's frightening.
Wandering and personal safety are reasons why I would definitely invest in a GPS tracking bracelet for my parents if they start to become a danger to themselves. It does make me feel like I'm taking on an even bigger parenting role than ever before, but if Mom's safe, then I'm happy.
I like the bracelet offered by Adiant Solutions (http://www.adiant-solutions.com) because it works indoors, offers two-way communication, and has specialty features like a sensor that notifies you when your loved one falls or is in a speeding vehicle.
What do you guys think of GPS tracking devices for loved ones suffering from Alzheimer's/dementia?
In response to Rhonda's comment. I am the sole caregiver of Mom and Dad and my brothers live out of town/are too busy/etc. It's taken a year to adjust to living in their home to be their full-time caregiver without regular respite. My brothers would "attack" me with their "concerns" and "advice" on how I "should" take care of our parents. It took a near-death experience with my daddy to bring us together. To the Rhonda's out there I would say these experiences are unfortunately "normal." Uninvolved siblings mask their guilt and sense of loss by taking it out on the live-in caregiver/sibling. It is hard for them to see their parents age and change, and it is especially hard on the caregiver who sees it daily and also sees the new symptoms emerge. If it hadn't been for discovering other CT's at my church, through networking, through hospital outreach groups, I would be in need of a caregiver of my own by now. God has blessed me with a few well-chosen friends. I've even gotten closer to my brothers through all this. I hope the Rhonda's of this world find help in a similar way. This journey with our parents is more than difficult but I believe they deserve it...they never got a break when we were growing up. God meet all your needs (caregivers) today.
Thank you so much for all the information you provide! It's really helped me- I'm researching how to become a caregiver for my elderly parents.
I found this website, ShareWIK.com, which has offered a lot of helpful suggestions and information.
I just wanted to pass it along to anyone who might be interested.
ShareWIK stands for Share What I Know, and the site offers information from doctors and other experts as well as stories and advice from people who've had to go through the pain of 'parenting your parent.'
http://www.sharewik.com/videos/1705225 (This links to a really interesting video featuring several individuals who share their experiences)
http://www.sharewik.com/blogs/item/tips-for-a-smooth-transition-from-independent-to-assisted-living (This links to a blog post by a woman who shares her experiences transitioning her mother from independent to assisted living. Very insightful.)
Hopefully other readers find these links as helpful as I did!
About 15 years ago my wife, then aged 55 was diagnosed with high blood pressure and started medication for it.Every time her blood pressure was tested it read high so her doctor kept increasing the dosage of her medication.She started having dizzy spells and symptoms of low blood pressure,but every time it was tested it still read too high and so the medication was increased again.I felt this was wrong but the doctor ignored me.I then read an article about "white coat hypertension". I put this to another doctor who agreed with me that this was the case with my wife,so he stopped all the high blood pressure medication,but too late.After years of over medication for high blood pressure she started having symptoms of dementia.I believed that her brain had been starved of oxygen for so long that this caused the dementia symptoms.Doctors wont agree as they like to cover each others backs.They started treating her for Parkinsons and associated dementia,but that medication only made her symptoms worse.She was eventually hospitalised and after 3 months they diagnosed that she had Lewy body dementia.She had 2 falls,one in the hospital, and broke her pelvis twice.She can not walk now and her mind and personality are completely gone.She is now in fulltime hospital care as I, at 72 years am unable to care for her.I blame the over medication solely for her condition.I do wonder how many other people have been destroyed like this because of inefficient doctors.
IS there a true difference, or is it a bad joke among doctors that there's a real, distinguishable difference between either kind of dementia (Alzheimer's being one kind)?
My mom ended up in the hospital for severe confusion. Blood tests revealed postassium and sodium levels so low that they affected thinking. IV treatment cleared her mind. Unfortunately, before release a neurolgist had to examine her. He labeled her with Lewy body dementia and put her on a dementia drug that made her suicidal and catatonic. My sisters dimissed the neurologist and had the drug stopped. Eight years later she is now eighty and her mind is still clear.
When it became obvious that my Mom was 'failing', we moved into a house with 2 apartments. I was the sole care-giver because my brothers lived away/ were too busy/removed from the situation, so I took care of everything. Mom continued to exhibit problems, while her one doctor put her on Aricept for ALS, her regular doctor stated that she had vascular dementia from previous situations and injuries. It wasn't easy to care for her, as she was very unpredictable, but I did what I had to do. My brothers' were sporadic in keeping in touch with her and NEVER consulted with me. Whenever there was a major decision to be made, I made it with Mom, since the 'boys' were too busy. I tried to keep Mom feeling as independant/ vital as I could for as long as possible and as far as was safe. My brothers NEVER spoke to me about Mom's state of mind and refused to be helpful, not realizing how irratic Mom's thinking was getting. They began to accuse me of all forms of elder abuse because Mom's mind wandered a lot when she was with them. Since they didn't pay attention to my knowing what was happening, they went off on a tangent of abuse towards me. I gave up a lot to care for Mom and my brothers made my life HELL during the entire time because THEY WOULD NOT TALK TO ME. Yrs. since Mom passed away, my brothers are still being abusive towards me by refusing contact, even over legal matters. I loved Mom, but she had problems that should have been discussed as adults, without jealousy.
age 73 ,7 years ago could not find mine keys for mine car ,turn the house upside down ,have them in mine hand ,vrinds say hallo ,did not know them ,watnt to go to sleep could not find mine bed in mine own house slept on the floor,started with .vitamins 4 fish oil, 1macnesium ,1 vitaminine .b12, 1vitamin b6, 3vitamin .d 3000iu,1 calcium ,in the morning and at night ,for 2 years for 4years only 1 in the morning, except fish oil 2 in the morningand 2 at night AND FEEL GREAT TO DAY AT 81 YEARS OF AGE do you have a answer for this started computor at 80 ,bernard
Don't forget urinary tract infections as a cause. My friend's father was being admitted to a care facility when they discovered a uti. He's fine now and living at home.
Ohio State University has developed a self-administered test for MCI and dementia called SAGE. There are four formats, any one of which can be used by any person suspecting they may have a dementia issue. In my opinion, it beats MMSE all to heck.
Who does the cognitive testing for memory, etc? Does one need a prescription from their Dr. to have memory testing done?
Thank you for clarifying. My mom has been diagnosed with dementia, but my siblings seem to think because she hasn't gotten an alzheimers diagnosis that all the great information on alzheimers doesn't apply to her situation.

We've been harvesting into the chill of November at Stonegate this year, and the kale, mustards, Asian greens and soil-buried radishes are bravely fending off each successive frost, the mysterious heartbeat of chlorophyll still pulsing in their leaves.
Late season watermelon radishes, with their neon pink centers, have been glowing beneath frost and snow
The farm is usually tilled under and tidied up this time of year, but I was away and returned mid-month to find my greens rallying – even sweetened by their protective conversion of starches to sugars.
Many hearty greens in the brassica family (including cabbages, broccoli, radishes, kale, chard, mustards and brussels sprouts) will sweeten up after a few frosts. These plants respond to cold by transforming their energy stores into sugars and stashing them in their cells as frost protection. I even sautéed some radishes last week, and watched with delight as the extra sugars caramelized in the pan.
When all else green has given in to the onslaught of cold and dark, it's a joy to see these stalwarts press on, flaunting their impervious-to-frost airs.
Tangy mustards, mixed leaf lettuce and radishes have all flourished into November, giving up some of their heat for sweet.
Kales are also being Vitamixed, greens eaten in Winter salads, radishes chopped and slivered into soup. Only the eggs have been absent, as the chickens have been in a molt for the last month, diverting their energy into growing a new duvet of feathers for the Winter. But they seem content and occupied, ranging under an open sky during the day, fluffing up and burying themselves into straw-padded roosts at night. La Dolce Pollo.
And there's sweetness everywhere on the farm, it seems: In the transformative miracle of winter greens, inside the soft, clustered hum of the bee hives, in the joy of tending land that's been put to purposeful use.
There's nothing like caring for a few productive, sustainable acres to sweeten the starch out of your soul. –Mb

Please note that as of October 24, 2014, the Nokia Developer Wiki will no longer be accepting user contributions, including new entries, edits and comments, as we begin transitioning to our new home, in the Windows Phone Development Wiki. We plan to move over the majority of the existing entries. Thanks for all your past and future contributions.
Symbian Qt Quick Components Competition 2012Q1
We're having an app design competition! In order to compete you need to have a "real" application that uses Symbian Qt Quick Components and provide a wiki article that describes the key elements of your application design. The article should be detailed enough for us to assess the elegance of your design, and should ideally point us to a binary version we can test.
The winning apps will demonstrate UI design flair and style while remaining faithful to the core Symbian platform style (as captured by the design and iconography guidelines). We expect they will mix both standard and custom components, and have innovative approaches to branding and other design elements.
There will three prizes of a new "yet to be announced" high-end Symbian phone. If that's not enough, then consider that as winner of a Nokia Developer competition your app will be featured in our Community, Wiki, and Project home pages, as well as in our developer newsletters (and other channels, documentation and promotional material, which we see fit) - giving your app immediate visibility with hundreds of thousands of your peers, users and potential employers!
The Symbian Qt Quick Components are available in the Qt SDK v1.1.4. Read the Symbian Design Guidelines and off you go!
How to participate
Study the Symbian Design Guidelines. Create a great application (or port an existing one) using the Symbian Qt Quick Components. Write a wiki article showing off the main elements of your UI design and provide a link to the real application so we can try it out (for example on Nokia Store)!
Here are the competition rules:
- The application and associated article must be your own work.
- An article must be created explaining how the app complies with the guidelines.
- It must have the category Category:Qt Quick and start with the text: {{Note|This is an entry in the [[Symbian Qt Quick Components Competition 2012Q1]]}}
- It must be submitted by 19th March 2012
- Ideally it should contain a link to the application (on Nokia Store or elsewhere).
- Nokia must have permission to publish a link to your app and screenshots on the wiki, discussion boards, newsletters, and any other mechanisms while promoting this competition and its results. Note that these are automatically granted when you upload them to the wiki by the site Terms and Conditions.
See the fine print for more information.
Evaluation of entries
The apps will be evaluated by a panel of Nokia UI design experts. The panel will be looking for all the things you would expect in a great app: a consistent and intuitive user experience, appropriate app icon and splash screen, appealing and smooth UI, pervasive but unobtrusive branding etc. The winners will be apps that demonstrate interaction design flair and style, and which use innovative approaches within the constraints of the Symbian Design Guidelines.
The articles are very much secondary - they are your opportunity to explain why you've used a particular approach (particularly where your app does not behave as the design guidelines suggest) and to highlight what sets your design apart. If you can't make a binary version of the app available, then they are our only way of assessing your entry.
The results are expected to be announced in late March/early April.

Penang Hawker Food (Penang Street Food)
Penang Private Tour and Culinary Tour
My family runs a private culinary tour where we take you to sample the best of Penang food plus local culture: hawker food/street food, local wet markets, fruit orchards and spice plantations, belacan (prawn paste) and soy sauce manufacturing plants, Nyonya food, home-stay meals, and more! Click here to learn more or contact me to inquire further.
Penang hawker food—also known as street food—is world famous and legendary one has to try it out to justify it. In my honest opinion, Penang offers the best street food, thanks to its people and state authorities who fiercely embrace, cultivate, and take great pride in Penang's unique street food culture and living traditions.
Born and raised in Penang, I might be bias, but great press such as Time Asia's Best of Asia for "Best Street Food," The New York Times's "44 Places to Go in 2009," plus throngs of tourists and foodies alike who come to Penang in search of great street food don't lie. The recent UNESCO world heritage listing is just an icing on the cake for Penang tourism…
Excerpts from Time Asia:
Imagine a free-ranging buffet, several hundred square kilometers in area, through which to graze at will. This limitless cornucopia brings together some of the liveliest culinary traditions of Asia, and participation costs only a few dollars. That's the Malaysian state of Penang. Mere mention of its name will set mouths watering—not only among Malaysians, but anyone lucky enough to have encountered its exceptional street food.
Got a thing for blistering sambals and sizzling noodles? Then make yourself at home. Generations of Chinese and Indian migrants certainly have—and it's their cuisines, when added to the indigenous style (which itself incorporates elements of Malay and Thai), that have helped make Penang the food-hawker capital of Asia. Try Gurney Drive for char kway teow (stir-fried rice noodles), Balik Pulau for "Penang-style" laksa (more sour than the norm), and King Street for roti panggang—flat bread with coconut jam, toasted on a charcoal grill. Only in Penang could food this good be this cheap.
With this post and my Penang hawker food photo gallery (which do no justice to what Penang has to offer), I urge you to pay a visit to Penang if you can. With our very own low-cost carrier Air Asia flying to Malaysia and Penang from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, United Kingdom, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Taiwan, etc., you can get to Penang a lot easier than you say "Assam Laksa."
For me, my dream is to take Anthony Bourdain, the "No Reservations" crew, my friends at Saveur to Penang one day. I wish to give them an insider's guide to savoring the best of Penang hawker food.

You should totally bring Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmerman to Penang! I love their shows. Anthony Bourdain is very adventurous and I like his attitude about food. He even tried durian when he was in Indo. I bet the food in Penang is worth the trip. I am planning a trip home to Singapore and catch on Air Asia or coach to Penang. I will surely contact your family run business tour! Thanks again.
ah..the pic compilation of penang food is making me drool. As a M'sian, no other food could satisfy my taste buds but m'sian food and penang food is indispensable :)
penang's food still unable to fall at the back from other state
Wow Bee, the food looks absolutely beautiful! I'm all dreamy right now. :-)
It's really too bad my schedule was so tight when i was in Singapore because i would have loved to go explore Malaysia and particulary Penang. Your post reinforce the idea that i must come back SOON. Already in Singapore i was having on average 7 meals a day (mostly street food) … i can't even imagine if i come to Penang. Oh Lord!
My psychic powers tell me it's just a matter of time before Anthony Bourdain shows up with his TV crew… but i want to beat him to it! :-)
Hey Bee, looking at these pix at 8am in the morning makes my tummy growl….and gives me lots of inspiration to get back to Penang this year! I guess, after 20 years, it won't be such a bad idea after all :-) Thanks for sharing!
Bee, now that's what ayam talking about! Hehehe..Will be headed up north for work soon. The pics certainly whet the appetite :P How is the new lens?
Wowwww! I'm hungry! If it's as tasty as you say, I want to discover this street food. Where is my private jet? I hope we'll have some recipes… Youre pictures are wonderful!
It makes me smile to think of you and Bourdain eating your way around Penang. Penang was our last stop in Malaysia after traveling all around the country, and we relaxed into the rhythm of the city instantly. I hope to visit again some day.
Andrew Zimmerman … is a joke. Really. He pales compared to Anthony Bourdain. On the episode Zimmerman was in M'sia he tried durian and spit it out. Almost gagged. Probably overacting on his part. But the durian guy was offended when Zimmerman says it tasted like rotten wet socks.
After the Chengdu post and this Penang one, all I can think is this: there is pretty much zero street food in the US and Canada (well, relatively speaking). A few hot dog carts, taco vendors, etc. just ain't enough. Even if the Chengdu street food wasn't up to the Penang par, I'll take it over nothing!
Although Im not a Penangite I have to agree that when it comes to hawker food, Penang won hands down. One has to reserve the trip to Penang solely for the food and that alone is worth the travel across the world.
My my … I am really drooling esp over the curry mee and assam laksa.
From all I know, I have never been hungry for a minute whenever I visit Penang.
When I am not eating hawker food, I will be munching away its famous preserve nutmeg, mango, papaya ……
Yes, thumbs up for Penang food … cheap and good.
I love Penang food & penangites!! Oh dear, next time you can try the Ah Keow Mixed Rice stall (see here: http://foodloverscreations.blogspot.com/2008/11/malaysia-trip-penang-nov-part-ii.html. CY's 81 year-old grandmother & 86 year-old grandfather swear by it.
However, I dislike Penang urban planning. Otherwise, it's a heaven. :)
Sinful!!!! Unresistable temptation!!
Oh my goodness! You're killing me with your gorgeous photos! I think I may have short circuited my keyboard with drool. I reckon Penang is the only place on earth where we ate 15 meals in one day. I have only been to Penang once (as a teenager) and I can still remember just enjoying myself so much with my family. It's definitely a place I'll be taking my kids to see and eat (maybe when they're older so the road trip won't be so torturous for me!)
Totally agree with you, Bee. More has to be done to produce a TV show that cover Penang in more detail. Hope to see one in the near future.
One of those places I have yet visited and always wanted to. Would you be my guide when the time comes? How many episodes do you need to cover Penang? I can see one complete series with you as the guide :D
I haven't been to every part of Asia yet but from what I've had so far, I agree Penang street food is the best! In terms of cuisines as a whole though, I still think Chinese reigns supreme. Considering all the regional types (and I'm talking when it's done well; at home, in restaurants, whatever, not just streets) -and don't forget Hokkien/Teochew/Hakka food that is well known in Singapore is also Chinese -seems to satisfy me the most :)
Malaysian food is still good though! In addition to Japanese, Vietnamese…I can go on and on.
I have enough Taiwanese friends to tell me Penang's street food trump Taiwan :) I also ate enough Thai, Indonesian and Singapore street food to say Penang still on top. Mostly, they concluded the street food in Malaysia tasted more complex where spices and flavors mixed harmoniously. Personally, I wonder how every Penang char koay teow I had just tasted better than anywhere else in the world? Talking street food makes just want to go downstairs and get a taco. At least I get to fulfill the street part of my wanting meal now :(
this is a very good post. all in one, with a little promo in the fray. :)
Penang's hawker food IS the best in M'sia. no comparison, this coming from someone from Ipoh. I stayed in Penang for a good 4 yrs back when I was a student, and from there, my foodie instincts flourished. many, many folds. hahaha …..
Oh my god the food in Malaysia is crazy good everytime I go there I put on like 5 kg.
I am such an asian foodie I almost died when I went to France for an immersion trip everybody was like I LUV FRENCH FOOD~~ but I was already craving for my spices and what nots on the first day. Hehe I'm a Singaporean and I think the food in Singapore is rly good as well just not as cheap as Malaysia, but my dad is Malaysian and he is obsessed with Penang food I swear he gets so excited whenever he sees a newly-opened restaurant (we usually go to KL). Would really like to go back to Penang one day I used to go there quite often when I was a kid and I remember staying at the Rasa Sayang hotel (? so long ago I don't know if it's changed its name or something heh) and walking out to eat Char Kway Teow along the roadsides :)
What an epic long comment hahaha sorry!
Penang hawker food IS the best. The char kway teow from hawker stalls is my favourite, it never tastes the same anywhere else. Add to that a fresh orange juice with ice in a bag, oh yeah.
When I was a kid (before I gave up meat) my favourite was the hawker style of vegie + noodle + meat plunged into the simmering chicken stock for thirty seconds.
I really miss all those foods!!!
Every dish have its own story, it is not just simply food but represent to different culture of Malaysia.Marvelous!!!!
I went last year and fell in love with the food. I'm still dreaming about it!
AIYO looking at those pictures made me homesick and hungry!!! Haven't been home for 2 years already, absolutely gotta make a trip home soon! You're so lucky you get to balik kampung quite often :) I remember eating this super spicy and unforgettable delish indian food, banana leaves and all at this little restaurant in gelugor where my aunt lives. My dream is to go back to that restaurant again…Thanks for posting the pictures, definitely brings back memories :)
I'm a former resident of Malaysia now living in Portland, Oregon. We actually have a kind of 'hawker stall' business here. They are called food carts and the City of Portland supports these businesses. They are popular and growing. All kinds of food from all over the world, even Bosnia. No Malaysian yet. Here's a link to a site about these food carts
You should try them if you come up here.
Joey – that's great. I hope SoCal has it soon!
Hi Rasa Malaysia,
I always sneak peek on your website as you have a great recipes on Malaysian food wheter its chinese, malaysian or nyonya food and I'm so lucky to found your website, such a coincidence.I'm an Indonesian lived in Toronto. I've been to Penang last year, ohh the foods is UNBELIEAVABLE, so cheap (even cheaper than in Spore) and its so niceee. Thou there is a bit similiar to Medan's food ( North Sumatra, Indo) but There is a unique taste that diffrentiate from other place. I love the char kwetiao & asam laksa ( me & my mum eat that a lot)=p I forgot what other things that i tried but those two i remember the most lolz=p Btw do you have any char kwe tiao recipe? I don't know how they cook it so nice, like the dryness with the egg and the flavour is different from how i cook at home. Thx and good job on you recipes & photos. Keep it up! Cheers
These photos of Penang hawker foods make me feel hungry each time I look at them! I am glad that I have discovered this great Rasa Malaysia website when I wanna learn how to cook proper Malaysian foods. I really miss my hometown and Penang foods are always the best to me!
Pingback:Penang – The Big Three « Street Foodie — Asian Street Food Blog
Hi! I'm Idah. I'm from the Philippines but am currently studying in USM. My research topic is actually on food tourism here in Penang. I was wondering, has anyone availed of the food tour you offer in this website, and if so, how are the feedbacks? Hoping to hear from you! :)
Great stuff. I tell you, Penang street food never ceases to amaze me.
On a whole different level. And this coming from an Ipoh boy. :)
i always believe that best way to learn the people's culture and find great food is to get in the streets. great article. had fun reading it.
Hi, need help on a good char keow teow stall other than lorong selamat and the 3 sisters'. Also, where to find best curry mee. In Penang of course. Thanks.
its very obvious you are biased. penang may have a lot of street stalls, how sure are you they are all tasty? there are some that tastes like shit and yet so many people like them. and you know why? they have never been out of penang island before.
I was in Penang last year before Christmas and visited some of those fabled street hawkers emporiums. The food was fantastic but what stayed on my mind is kindness of the people of Penang. At one of the hawker centers, I left my expensive camera in the bathroom. When I realized I had left it, I went back to retrieve it but it was gone. Our waiter, an elderly gentleman, heard me telling my driver that I had left the camera in the bathroom. He took it upon himself to find it and presented me with my "lost" camera before we left! My precious pictures of Penang were saved! And I left with a very warm feeling for the people of Penang. Sometimes, it really is the small things that stays in your mind!

uhh hate to bring this up we hit a dog one winter it is temporarily fixed but looking for a cheaper than new one black left front quarter panel the dog just ran off and we could never find it
@Russ: Thank you. That's a bummer not finding them again.
@Beth: Thank you for the link. But no, this version is normal type, all lower case (actually how it's displayed here in the forum font).
Uh oh, Chris? Fender bender?
Clint, are they different than the ones made for the mini cooper? http://www.minimania.com/part/NMA1120/Actual-Size-Graphic-White-Upp...
Those were given out at the 2010 Nationals. I haven't been able to find them since. I even tried to recreate it, but couldn't find the correct font. You can get the "You just got passed by a three cylinder" decal at Smart Madness though.
Where can I get more "actual size" decals?
And I have a spare front license plate holder (OEM, drill into the plastic style) if anyone wants it.
does anyone have a spare left front black quarter panel ?
Hi Beth! We saw your question regarding a rack for your smart car and thought that our basic bike rack could be a fit. Here is the brochure catalog: http://smart.cr/1o96w0J If you like what you see, your local dealership should be able to assist you with the purchase.

Problems faced & solutions implemented
A number of problems were faced during development of CutePress. Some were related to porting QWidget UI to QML equivalent while some were related Symbian platform constraint.
Caching Image Thumbnails for smooth working of UI
For selecting images form gallery to upload on the blog, it was important to show thumbnails for images for easy use. As it was difficult to access Symbian thumbnail cache, application tries to built its own. And when image selection view is opened by user, it initially loads only 36 images. Subsequent images are loaded whenever user reaches at the end of list. Code an be found here:
List Delegate for Post, Page, Comments
To show maximum possible information about a post or a page or a comment custom list delegate are used. Colored code s are used to represent status of an item.
Problem with HTML text and TextField in QtQuick 1.0 & using it with a Flickable item
TextFiled in Symbian QtQuick 1.0 can't handle HTML text properly. This problem still persits in the application, however MeeGo version with QtQuick 1.1 works fine.
Another problem was using TextField element with a Flickable item. In this case TextField's height is set to its implicitHeight and width is set to slighly lesser than its parent item.This way TextField can expanded vertically as needed and to scroll down on the page.

Warped Front Brake Rotors Can Cause Steering Wheel to Shudder
As the size of the Camry vehicle gets ever larger, there is a tendency to warp the front rotors. This will be felt as a shudder in the steering wheel when braking. The front rotors can be remachined, if there is sufficient material left, otherwise the front rotors will need to be replaced. It is recommended to use factory quality rotors because cheap quality rotors warp very easily and tend to squeak and squeal.

Vintage Color-Wash Rug 5'6" X 8'5"
A wash of color brings these vintage carpets to vibrant new life, highlighting the weathering they acquired over generations of use. Master weaver knotted the motifs and borders from hand-spun wool, which ages impeccably and becomes more beautiful over time. Each rug is selected as much for its artful design as for the patterns of wear that gives it its burnished character, which is then enhanced with permanent color. The dye infuses into the wool pile, creating rich striations while leaving the weft fibers in their original, natural hue. The resulting colorwash effect updates each rug while honoring its well-earned patina. All sizes are approximate. Recommended for use with a rug pad (sold separately). Imported.

Arma 2: Free Overview
AF2 is a scaled-down version of the original Arma 2 game that users can download and explore for free. It includes most of the features of its predecessor minus the campaign, mods, additional add-ons, and higher quality graphics. Players enter a fictional country located in Europe based off the Czech Republic called Chernarus. A communist war has broken out and various allies such as the US military have been summoned to assist. Complete several solo missions or join forces with other players on the battlefield for a full-fledged war. Players can accept special challenges that vary in levels of difficulty and feature unusual themes. Use the built-in mission editor to change up gameplay or challenge rivals. There are over 300 different weapons and vehicles to choose from making this open sandbox world by Bohemia Interactive.
Players compete against others in various PvP battle modes similar to games like Operation Flashpoint, War Inc., and Crime Craft. There are five set male characters and factions available.
Characters – Sgt Chad "Robo" Rodriquez, SSgt Brian "Scarlet" O'Hara, SSgt Randolph "Ice Cold" Sykes, MSgt Matthew "Coops" Cooper, and 1st Sgt Patrick "8-Ball" Miles
United States Marine Corps (USMC) – This Special Ops Expeditionary Unit is skilled in warfare and equipped with the best technology to accomplish complicated objectives. They are here to support the Chernarussian government any way they see fit. Backup is the Force Reconnaissance Special Units.
Chernarussian Defense Forces (CDF) – Trained by Western armies this Soviet based militia has a significant advantage. Familiar with their home territory and rugged terrain, they can stage surprise enemy attacks. The CDF feature a mixture of out-dated and modern gear.
Russian Armed Forces – Experts at counter-guerilla operations are part of the Chernarussian Peacekeeping Forces. Armed with an assortment of assault rifles and warheads they are determined to keep the peace by any means necessary.
Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star (ChDKZ) – Originally started as an underground movement this group of soldiers have earned their place among the ranks of the country's fellow adversaries. Although all of their armor is stolen or purchased from arms dealers they are well organized contenders.
National Party – National Party is another underground militia that makes up for their low grade arsenal with special Intel and effective strategy. These nationalist guerillas swiftly strike their enemies and disappear into the mountains. They often use civilian vehicles with mounted weapons.

Arma 2 Free Launch Trailer
Arma 2: Free is a 3D free-to-play war simulation MMOFPS set in the midst of a communist takeover. Players become soldiers sent to the fictional country of Chernarus to assist the government in their ongoing civil war. Move up the ranks from recruit to highest-ranking soldier by completing an assortment of solo or co-op missions with your faction's core objective in mind. Switch freely between first and third person perspective while exploring a large sandbox style virtual world. Participate in large-scale wars or join friends in team based death match battles. Command fellow comrades and assign specific targets to teammates. Use the built-in mission editor to create your own cover operation or complex map to wage war in. Select from a wide variety of weapons and vehicles for an edge in AI or multiplayer bloodshed.
From Recruit to Highest-ranking Soldier, the Gameplay
This action themed shooter features single and multiplayer modes. Although there are no campaigns or mods in the single player mode users can tackle the boot camp tutorial or one of the four solo missions available. During boot camp recruits run through an obstacle course, shoot a few rounds at the firing range, and complete a first-aid course. Each of the four stand-alone missions can be repeated with a higher level of difficulty. Levels range from easy to expert. When players begin their first objective they are transported via helicopter to a location in dire need of assistance from a surprise assault. Soldiers have to target and shoot rebel militia in order to secure the area. The realistic sounds of the chopper hovering, gunshots firing, and rugged terrain make the experience not only exciting but very authentic. AF2 has an in-depth and somewhat complicated command system. Although the standard WASD keys are used for movement, prompting the menu and executing various actions take a bit of time to memorize. Hitting the Num and Enter key will switch the first person perspective to a third person view point similar to Crime Craft.
War on Your Own Terms
Players can also utilize the game's built-in mission editor to create their own objectives or maps to explore. The interface is pretty easy to navigate whether you're a beginner or more experienced gamer. Once in the editing section side menus displaying accessible predesigned zones, weather options, tasks, and various criteria is displayed. Users simply click on their desired options and a new mission is automatically generated. This modeled area can be used in solo or during multiplayer combat. The Death Match, Capture the Flag, and Warfare are the three core multiplayer modes. In Death Match like many other FPS games players face off in an all out war. The aim is to kill as many AI units or other players as possible. In Capture the Flag and Warfare modes players indulge in team-based combat against each other in order to seize control of an object like a flag or an entire side of an island. During Warfare every player has their own AI unit to command. The team commanders of each opposing side must designate tasks to their soldiers to assist in building a base and protecting their territory from being destroyed. Players have to use strategy and work together to keep possession of their stronghold. Shots are constantly fired among the chaos. Much like War Inc. Arma 2: Free resembles CoD style gameplay. During combat when a soldier has been shot his field of vision turns red and blurry until health restores or death. Other soldier's customized battlefields can be downloaded and played with friends as well.
Goats & Guns
One of the coolest features in Arma 2: Free is the Armory. In this area a drop down list of guns, vehicles, characters, and even creatures appear. Clicking on any of the available items will allow a user to test out that particular weapon in a designated zone along with an opportunity to complete a special mini-mission. These challenges vary depending on the selected object or character. It's quite impressive. Soldiers' skills are tested with side objectives that range from stand-offs to slightly more challenging covert operations. In assassination challenges users are given certain target characteristics to go by like they may be driving a vehicle or moving alone. GI's must scour the countryside until they've shot their mark. Successfully completing a mission unlocks a new weapon and challenge in the Armory. The missions through this feature give players hours of additional extended gameplay. Objectives can be war themed or integrate a bit of RPG simulation. Soldiers can assume new temporary identities as a Medic, Rocker, pilot, local citizen, woman, school teacher, Saboteur, or take on the form of an animal. When players select the goat they are transported to an open space surrounded by woodlands with poachers in hot pursuit. The mission is to survive until the Rangers show up. It definitely keeps the game interesting.
Weapon of Choice
There are over 300 different weapons, vehicles, and equipment to choose from. This massive inventory includes a broad array of rifles, machineguns, side-arms, launchers, and explosives. Players can acquire an M8 Automatic Rifle, Compact Sharpshooter, SVD Camo, M136 Launcher, FGM-148 Javelin, Bizon PP-19, CZ 550, DMR, G36, M24, AK-107, M9 Silenced, Strela-2 9k32, RGO Frag Grenade, 30 Rnd. STANAG, and smoke grenades in various colors. To really experience the vast arsenal selection in this game outside of the Armory players might have to invest some real money. The ability to access all of the mounted weaponry, howitzers, mortars, and special warfare guns with subsonic ammunition is almost worth it. GI's are able to hitch rides or drive various forms of transportation throughout the game. Hop on tanks, armored trucks, helicopters, boats, and standard civilian vehicles. Soldiers can use night vision goggles, binoculars, compass, radio, or their watch to aid them during missions. At any time during battles a player can switch their weapon of choice.
Final Verdict: Good
Overall Arma 2: Free is a worthy free-to-play war simulation MMOFPS. Despite the downgraded graphics and missing campaigns it's extremely addicting. There's so much content that players will find themselves tempted to purchase the full version simply out of curiosity. Players can accomplish a variety of single and multiplayer missions along with hundreds of challenging mini-objectives available in the Armory. Users have the ability to create their own warzone with the built-in editor feature and participate in large-scale battles with up to 50 players. Fans familiar with Call of Duty style's gameplay will appreciate the game's close attention to detail and realistic sandbox world. A2F is an entertaining shooter similar to other titles like War Inc., Crime Craft, and Operation Flashpoint.

This page contains notes on a research I am doing to see if it is possible to bring QtGLib closer to Qt, make it more generic and more feature-complete, so that it can be used for anything besides GStreamer. The bullets below describe possible solutions to the various problems that have been showstoppers until now.
GValue <-> QVariant
- Converting GValue to QVariant:
- For native types: switch() and convert.
For Object/Interface/ParamSpec pointers: Store a QGlib::Value into the QVariant and provide template specializations for QVariant::value / qvariant_cast / qVariantValue (qt4 only) that will convert using QGlib::Value::get Screw that. There is no such thing as function template partial specializations.
- For Enum/Flag types: See below
For G_TYPE_POINTER: convert to QMetaType::VoidStar
- For Boxed types: provide hooks
- Converting QVariant to GValue:
- For native types: ditto.
- If the QVariant contains a QGlib::Value (object/interface/paramspec ptr that comes from a method in the bindings): obvious.
For Object/Interface/ParamSpec pointers: Override QVariant::setValue / QVariant::fromValue / qVariantFromValue / qVariantSetValue to store a QGlib::Value directly into the QVariant -> as a result there will be no way to have a QVariant that stores an ObjectPtr directly.
- For Enum/Flag types: See below
- For void* / QObject*: store into a G_TYPE_POINTER GValue. Unfortunately we can't do much about other kinds of pointers.
- For Boxed types: provide hooks
- Enums/Flags:
Method 1: Store them as QGlib::Value inside the QVariant and provide template specializations for all the related QVariant methods (using type traits) which will convert to/from QGlib::Value, just like with the object types.
Requires tagging template-wise all the enums/flags that belong to the bindings
Requires also handling other kinds of enums/flags by copying QVariant's own implementation of those methods inside the specializations.
Method 2: Register qMetaTypeId<enum> <-> GType pairs in global hashtables and convert like native types.
- Problems:
- QVariant::convert / QVariant::canConvert will not work correctly. This will need to be documented.
- QVariant::value will also do conversions for types that a QGlib::Value is stored inside the variant. This is wanted for object types, but maybe not for enums/flags (+ not all conversions may be wanted).
QVariant::userType() will always return qMetaTypeId<QGlib::Value> for all object types...
Pointer types are a bit problematic... Imagine setting a VideoWidget* to the "widget" property of qwidgetvideosink. The latter expects a G_TYPE_POINTER, but the conversion cannot be made automatically.
- Bonus:
- With QVariant method specializations for QGlib::Value, it will be easy to get the original GValue from a QVariant.
GObject <-> QObject
- A QMetaObject needs to be generated for every GObject subclass.
- Can be generated either at runtime or at compile time, but the runtime part has to be there anyway so that we can use signals/slots with classes that are unknown at compile time (gst elements...).
- It can either be generated from GI or by introspecting manually the signals/properties of a class. The advantage of GI is that we can also bind non-signal methods as Q_SLOTS, although I'm not sure if we want this.
There is a QMetaObjectBuilder class in various places (including QtCore in qt5), but it's not public. -> Copy until it becomes public.
- Store the metaobject in the GType quark data, since it is not static data in the binary.
We need an ObjectBase superclass that will inherit QObject and will define the moc methods:
- return g_type_get_qdata(G_TYPE_FROM_INSTANCE(m_object), "_QGLib_QMetaObject");
- Easy to implement, get the QMetaObject and compare class names like the moc-generated qt_metacast does.
- For method (signal) calls, we need to convert the void* array to a GValue array and emit the signal. See below.
- For property reads/writes, we need to convert GValue to/from QVariant. See above.
- Ignore anything else.
- This is not a moc-generated method, but needs to be overriden so that we know when somebody has connected to a GObject signal.
- Connect a generic GClosure on the real signal with a marshaller that converts the GValue array to a void* array and calls QMetaObject::activate.
BIG POSSIBLE ISSUE HERE: I have never seen QObject signals having return values. We need to check if this is supported
- Turns out it is supported, but does not blend in very well. The return value is not part of the function signature check + you would have to write something like int r = Q_EMIT foobar(); (or whatever... Q_EMIT is a dummy macro that doesn't do anything at all anyway, but most people think it does magic and probably wouldn't know how to use it in a case like this)
void* <-> GValue
QObject::qt_metacall uses a void* array that contains pointers to the actual parameters of the signal. Moc normally knows about their types, so it does a reinterpret_cast<foo*> and writes on them. In our case, we don't know the types, so we have to do some extra work:
- For native types (int/long/string/etc...): switch() and convert appropriately.
- Strings will always be mangled as QStrings, so the dillema with const char* and QByteArray is gone.
- For pointer types: assume void* and convert like the other native types.
For Object/Interface/ParamSpec types: The target will always be a RefPointer<SomeObjectClass>, which has constant size because it contains only a SomeObjectClass* member, so we can reinterpret_cast to RefPointer<RefCountedObject*> and be done with it.
This requires changing RefPointer to hold a RefCountedObject* instead of a T* because the pointer might be different for interfaces etc due to multiple inheritance
- For Boxed types: We need to provide conversion hooks.
- For enums: Enums don't necessarily have a constant size. They are required to have the size of an integer type, but it can be anything. Solution:
For generated static bindings, pad all enums to the size of int and use reinterpret_cast<int*> to write in them. This will also need static assertions at compile time to make sure that all the enums used in the bindings have the same size.
- For enums that are not known at compile time (say an enum in a gst element), we will let QMetaObject present the argument as being a simple int.
For flags: QFlag is just an int, so we can use reinterpret_cast<int*> here as well.
- For flags that are not known at compile time, do the same as with enums.
- For every function that takes a callback argument, the public bindings interface will need two functions:
- A template one that takes a functor as an argument
- A non-template one that takes a functor wrapper as an argument. The functor wrapper will have some standard interface for calling the functor using a void* array for the arguments. See QSlotObject in qt5's qobject.h to understand what I have in mind.
- The non-template method will internally have a C callback that will take the functor wrapper in its user_data argument, will convert between C types and C++ types and will call the functor.
- For dynamic bindings (in case we do that), we can assume that the caller already gives us a functor wrapper as a void*.
- Step 1: cast to functor wrapper
- Step 2: generate a C callback using libffi and g-i which will in turn call a generic callback marshaller
- Step 3: pass the functor and the GIFooInfo (whatever is needed) to the marshaller in its user_data argument.
- Step 4: pass the generated C callback down to the C method call.
- Now when our callback is called, the generic callback marshaller will be invoked and all that it will need to do is to convert from C types (given in a void* array) to C++ types (which will also be given to the functor in a void* array).
This can basically be done the same way it is done for void* <-> GValue conversion, only that there is no GValue. Not sure if enums coming from the C interface can be trusted to have a specific size, though.
One solution might be the following:
Make a subclass that inherits from the wrapper class type that we want to inherit in C, i.e. class MyElement : public QGst::Element
- Force the programmer to use some macro or even write some very small piece of code that will implement the _get_type() function
- This will internally register the GType using some boilerplate code wrapped up somewhere in QtGLib
- This will also need to add the interfaces on the GType, which may be possible to do with some template magic on the list of inherited classes
- This will also have to register the Foo_new function that is currently used for the wrapping system
Implement virtual functions by declaring protected Q_SLOTS with a certain name, for example: vfunc_addElement for GstBin's add_element vfunc.
- The boilerplate class_init function will use the staticMetaObject to introspect the available slots and for every vfunc_* slot that matches some vfunc in C (use GI to find out what is available) it will generate a C function using libffi that will call some dispatcher which in turn will call the slot using the QMetaObject api.
- This adds the convenience that nothing has to be declared as virtual on the C++ side, since slots are virtual by design.
