(or anyone else loving good ice cream, of course ;))
There’s this pretty awesome ice cream bar called “Tutti Frutti” not far from the guadec location. Lots of variety. Lots.
Heh, I need to rework my categories for this blog - I end up “categorizing” depending on what planet feed I want the post to go into.. […]

We arrived yesterday, after a slightly delayed flight (”technical reason”) from Helsinki. Arriving at Barcelona airport we took a taxi to the place. We successfully used maemo mapper to find our accommodation as the driver was not familiar with Vilanova i la Geltrú. “Ah, GPS.. perfecto!”
Today is the warmup time, meeting people and trying […]

So I’m sitting at the University of Helsinki CS department again, been a while
This time it’s a Debian packaging school organized by Lars Wirzenius - I figured this will be an useful skill to learn since I deal with themes, icons etc that also need to be packaged..

I think I see the point now. Took a while to get over that “WTF? Redhat? Web services? Social networking and ajax?” -thingy, but in a way this is not much different from what I have been thinking about a lot lately as well.
There’s a lot more software these days than what’s we used to […]

Okay, I dont even try to understand much of this subject, but one interesting observation I have done lately.
As I am going to give back the Novell laptop in a few days, I have been moving stuff into my old, black Powerbook. I installed Ubuntu on it. It has 380 megabytes of memory and the […]

So I Inkscaped again a bit today.
This is a mockup of a new admin-interface (”Aegir 2“) for Midgard CMS.
The mockup uses Tango colours and icons, which is an interesting use for the cross-platform theme. The èxample shows a new access control list editor for an example folder - the user interface was very much influenced […]

Passed along by Henri of Midgard CMS fame: Denim seems very neat.
Basically it’s a java-based website protyping tool where you can use a wacom tablet or such, to sketch a basic content layout and it makes a semi-working prototype to play with the navigation.
Now, this is very very interesting also for non-web user interface design: […]

Michael, it sure was an interesting 5 years or so.. I bought a Coopers today for that
It was fun, sometimes sad, lots of work and very interesting time, to watch the Linux desktop learning to walk. Amazing ride without a doubt. Thanks. And I’m looking forward for what’s next. Need to think and […]

I just found out a cool trick. Everyone knows Gnopernicus, the Gnome desktop accessibility do-it-all-tool that has the weirdest name ever. Anyway, it, among other things, contains a screen magnifier for visually impaired users.
By default it starts with the right half of the screen magnifying everything on the left, but you can actually configure […]

Apparently the Boston area air traffic control radar has issues, so hopefully my flight will be on schedule.. Anyways, it was great to meet new and “old” people again in the summit, see you again soon!
Oh, and for those who are interested in the Tango project, there’s an IRC channel #tango on freenode.
Remember, Tango is […]
