Gnome website and CMS questions

Friday, July 28th, 2006

So, the Gnome website apparently needs a new engine.
Henri wrote a nice analysis and commentary of Midgard CMS and how it would work for this case. Check it out.
I think we should also think a bit deeper here: we could possibly have some CMS-like functionality on the desktop as a method of sharing information, perhaps […]

They made it!

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

The DeathMonkey race is over, two of three guys are in Gibraltar, and even the third got very close before having his vechicle stolen in Pamplona. Duh..
“Bob” aka “The guy I did the GUADEC talk with” used his Nokia 770 to blog from the trip, looks like it was a useful tool for that. Need […]

Quick maps

Monday, July 17th, 2006

Stumbled on this pretty nice site which lets you plot stuff on a map, using the google maps API and lets you either link to the map (like this) or embed it on your own site (let’s see how this works, below - and whether planet likes it or not..)

Edit: Ok, looks like planet […]

Free web services

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Luis, I agree with you - we need to have free alternatives too. But the small, open web service lacks one important aspect - the other people you know and love. I think the reason most people are excited about Flickr, for example, is because it is of course easy to use, but also that […]

Wallpaper again..

n770-summer
Originally uploaded by tigert.
Maybe some of you Nokia 770 users will enjoy this very summer themed wallpaper I did - I shot it this morning when fetching the dogs back from my mom’s place (they were having a vacation there during GUADEC).
The wallpaper should work nicely with the new OS2006 upgrade that was recently released.

Nokia 770 software update

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

So, it looks like the final OS2006 image is available in maemo.org - but the frontpage doesnt say much about it yet. Just thought someone might want to know. It’ll ask your wavelan id for validity as usual.

I have interesting friends..

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

Of course all of you are interesting and wonderful, my dear readers, no doubt about that. But this time I want to tell you about the guy I did my GUADEC talk with - Henri. He’s on the road again, thundering down Sweden towards Gibraltar. In a Honda Monkey - the mini-moped, with 2 other […]

Second try…

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

After being delayed in Barcelona for an extra day, due to a late flight that was sure to miss a connection, we are now sitting in this A320 and wondering if this is late too. But at least we hopefull move forward..

First to Frankfurt.. wish us luck.
Update: Woo hoo!

Sitting in the […]

Testing..

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Lets see whether this plugin works any better for geotagging..
Also, this was interesting.
Now we also need a way for the blog to remember my location, so I dont have to specify it for every post separately. Ideally of course, my desktop would update it through a xmlrpc api..

Wordpress and Geotagging

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

I found a Wordpress plugin that does geotagging of posts. I need to see how well it works and whether it tags the RSS feed with location as well. And whether there is an xmlrpc interface to set the location and whether it is possible to do it via the blog api - then my […]
