Evolving..

Friday, September 24th, 2004

Chris Lee made a suggestion to avoid the jumping contents of the popup:

I think it makes sense, although it might look a bit strange to have the title at bottom. But worth a thought anyway. Thanks Chris!
And yes, the expanded note shouldnt be that wide. Consider it a Gimping error

Whee!

So, there’s a port of [url=http://www.frozen-bubble.org/]Frozen Bubble[/url] for [url=http://fb-s60.sourceforge.net/]Symbian Series60 phones.[/url] Yay!

The Revenge of Killer Mutant Notifications..

Thursday, September 23rd, 2004

Okay. More thought. I wonder if this is a bad idea.. to have a small notification that is very simple and small, but would possibly expand when mouse is moved over it to display more content. This way it does not cover much of the screen, but in some situations it might be nice […]

Beagle tiles..

Nat, Trow?
What if Beagle would display a snippet of the document content along with the searched term? It could show the first match with a small snippet of content before and after - this way it might be faster to find the one you are looking for. No need to open each one to see […]

Blast from the past :-)

Some of you might remember I used to work for a finnish ISP before the ximian/novell journey started. The coolest guys from the web team there decided to start their [url=http://www.apaja.com/inenglish.php]own company[/url] a few years ago. Turns out they have come up with [url=http://www.playray.com]even more cool ways to waste your time[/url] when you have a […]

Notifications again..

Monday, September 20th, 2004

Christian: I think we really should define the notification “body” be HTML in the spec.. HTML is familiar and works okay for layout and it would give more possibilities for the application writer or a user writing scripts with notification support.
Also, we do not have many real-world examples of this stuff yet. Well, there is […]

Presence, contacts and different apps..

Friday, September 17th, 2004

So, I installed Skype, the free-as-in-beer web phone software (which now has a beta for OSX btw) and I have had some fun with Jimmac - it is nice to be able to just chat about work and stuff instead of typing it on irc.
But this all has made me think about integration again. Let’s […]

Re: Gnome Notification ideas..

Wednesday, September 15th, 2004

So this is more like a response to a comment in my notification thingy writeup, but I think this is an important point, so I write a new entry. Besides, isnt the whole point of blogging to spam as much as you can?
Anyway, the idea was that there should be a proper daemon […]

Gnome “Notification” ideas..

Wednesday, September 15th, 2004

When Glynn blogged about the Zenity notification icon it got me thinking. I have been pondering about a notification stuff in general a bit too - but since I am a bit of a hurry right now, I’ll put this short. What if we had something like this:
tigert@archer:~> zenity –notification –window-icon=”pantstrading.png” –title=”Stock Alert” –content=”stockalert.html” –delay=20
..and […]

Oops.

Stand by while I learn how to embed javascript into WordPress so that it doesnt blow up the whole world in PlanetGnome
Okay. I give up.
I tried to show you some handy bookmarks (”bookmarklets”?) that had javascript to do funky things on the url or the page, but javascript did not work too well […]
