Geotagging blog posts

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

Does anyone know if there is a way to add geotags into blog posts via any of the weblog API’s?
Another thing that we need to figure out is how to add those tags into blog RSS feeds. The goal is to get Planet to become aware of the location of each post, so we can […]

reverse polish cumbersomeness?

Inkscape rocks. The more I use it, the more I like it.
But why the heck is the “origo” (0,0) in the bottom left corner of the canvas??
I can not understand the logic behind this, maybe it is something that is planned to be fixed to be “the rest of the world -compatible” later?

Free software on different platforms

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

J5’s post about how Gnome is about the people and their ideas made me again think about the same thing I’ve been pondering lately.
Free software is being used on new platforms: handheld tablets and other embedded systems etc.. Many times this requires a rewrite of at least the user interface parts, because a desktop is […]

Linux sound and multimedia

Monday, August 28th, 2006

So. Sudddenly I got no sound from my laptop. I have had ALSA (the “advanced linux sound architecture”) act on me also before, so I suspected the master audio got muted, like happened ages ago.
But no. I search, run alsamixer, the Gnome mixer app, trying to figure out what the problem is.. but nothing. I […]

Gee, I wonder…

You’d think most blogs have a “post has more than n links => I think this is spam!” -filtering now and the morons wouldn’t bother, but I was wrong..

Testing maemo-blogger…

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

This post comes from the N770 with the native tool. Hmm. (edit: Looks like it worked :)) Testing blog tools is kinda awkward when you are syndicated in at least two planets.. Sorry about that
Hmm.
I think I would like to see at least a few things implemented, here are some suggestions:

It’s nice that […]

Eating the Sardine

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

On a more positive tone, we’re trying to get a apt-get update’able bleeding edge Maemo build out for developers, to get new development faster out for the application writers and other interested geeks. It’s called Sardine, and it’s hot!
Check it out!
Check out the wiki also!
See my shiny, grouping application switcher toolbar!

Oh! […]

Things to avoid when integrating Linux with hardware

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

We got the Samsung ultra-mobile PC (the “origami” device I think?) to play with at the office, and I thought of sharing my experience with you. Maybe this will help us, Novell, Ubuntu or someone else who might be thinking of bundling Linux with laptops or other hardware in the future.. But let’s move on. […]
