SlimserverAndNokia770 - how to use the Nokia Pad with the SlimServer as a music player.
Linkblog - 13.1.2006 - 15.2.2006
I actually enjoy the job... - "Fiction" of a monitor and his comment on data retention.
pyOpenSSL - Python interface to the OpenSSL library - quite complete bindings. Looks much better than the previous libs I have looked at.
Sabrina and Twister - interesting "fictions" that unfortunately are not quite as fictional as one would like. Well-written stories about data protection, privacy, surveillance, etc.
Yahoo! Design Pattern Library - A collection of standard patterns in web GUI applications and how to solve them with the Yahoo JS library. Very interesting as a cookbook.
Yahoo! UI Library - the JS/Ajax lib used by Yahoo for its own applications. BSD license!
screen4DSLR : Changing Focusing screen for Canon DSLR - another provider for replacement focusing screens for digital SLRs (not just Canon!). This one has lower prices (probably because it uses standard focusing screens and just cuts them to size).
Powerful Remote X Displays with FreeNX - interesting for remote servers, as it has significantly better responses and lower bandwidth requirements than X or VNC.
RENAISSANCE Le site officiel du film de Christian Volckman - en salles en mars 2006. - looks interesting. Ok, I don't understand a word, but the pictures ...
.eu Domain Debacle - about the dirty tricks used to infiltrate the Sunrise Period.
HolisTech Limited Free Software, pwsafe - Password-Safe for the Nokia Tablet.
Password Safe - by Bruce Schneier. The Java version 0.5 is compatible with the Maemo version.
pwsafe password database - Command line tool for Password Safe databases.
Benford's Law - why so many numbers in statistical series start with 1.
Hedgehog - Never underestimate the power of a small tactical Lisp interpreter.
LEGO Technic Difference Engine - Babbage would be jealous
Scientists find new species in 'Garden of Eden' - hopefully it will remain a Garden of Eden. Areas like this should be immediately placed under nature protection, otherwise it will be exploited by "exotic enthusiasts" sooner or later.
CSS Fisheye - CSS magnifying glass effect in a text block.
GREYCSTORATION - denoising algorithm as an open source CLI tool.
Lightbox JS - Display photos with JS on the page. Nice effect.
HOWTO: Bluetooth GPS and GPSDrive on the Nokia 770 - because someone recently told me that the Nokia 770 is useless without a navigation system: here it is.
Console Password Manager - very interesting tool, stores passwords encrypted with GPG and uses existing GPG keyrings. This way you can also encrypt password files for others (e.g. shared passwords in the company for multiple admins). And it runs on the console.
Book Review -- The Debian System: Concepts and Techniques | Linux Journal - interestingly sounding book about the concepts in Debian.
Internet Tablet Talk - Gnumeric 1.6.2 Released - Spreadsheet for the Nokia 770 Tablet. Wow.
Mandelbrot Set - Labix - Example source code that draws little apples with PyGame on the Nokia Tablet.
Eiffel For OS X - what you see is what you get. Only this terrible background graphic on the site ...
ApplicationCatalog - Maemo Wiki - Applications for the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet
Knitting Fashion - Knitting with Knitting Machines, Knitting Design, and Knitting Patterns - everything about machine knitting. Yes, yes, I know, it seems a bit out of place here
ThoughtFix on the Nokia 770: USB Power Injector 2 - external battery pack for the Nokia tablet - also usable for other devices with USB powering (iPod etc.). For DIY.
PythonForMaemo - Python for Maemo - Using Python on the Nokia 770 Tablet (the shipping confirmation arrived today, hopefully the device will arrive soon).
twill: a simple scripting language for Web browsing - a Python scriptable Web client. Interesting for automated page requests and for specialized robots. Possibly also for testing web applications.
Opera Mini: Free HTML browser for mobile phones launches worldwide - Golem.de - definitely better than the primitive built-in browsers. However, of course - due to Java - not necessarily the fastest.
pyvm home - another Python implementation. Its own bytecode interpreter and a Python compiler written in Python. Sounds almost like PyPy meets Parrot - though retaining the Python bytecode.
APRESS.COM: Practical Common Lisp - now also available as a free PDF download (go to the Free Download page and download it there).
Bill Clementson's Blog: Update on Termite (A Lisp for Concurrent/Parallel Programming) - Information about Termite, a Scheme based on Gambit-C with the concurrency features of Erlang. Sounds very interesting, check it out when the code is released.
BooCompany - the only legitimate successor to DotComTod.de. Now open to all industries.
Thinking Forth - now also available as a PDF download. For old Forthers like me, of course a must-download.
Unofficial documentation of iPhoto 6.0 photocasting feeds - Mark Pilgrim tears apart Apple's iPhoto RSS support. It's bad. It's really bad.
A list of open-source HTTP proxies written in python - many of them are still active, and potentially quite interesting for mobile use (especially those based on asyncore, due to the low resource usage)
runit - a UNIX init scheme with service supervision - alternative to sysv-init with more possibilities and integrated features like supervise (from the daemontools).
WebCleaner - a filtering HTTP proxy - absolute high-tech, that part. Asyncore, so low resources, built-in JavaScript interpreter against obfuscation and a bunch of other features. Sounds very good on paper.
Feed Icons - Help establish the new standard - free icons for feeds as an alternative to the XML icon from Userland. Inspired by the Mozilla feed icons.
Hurring.com: Code: Python: PHP Serialize implemented in Python - Deserialize PHP data in Python. Could be interesting if I want to migrate further sites from PHP to Django and, for example, access Wordpress settings.
Ross Barkman's Home Page - Modem scripts for Mac OS and Mac OS X and various mobile phones.
ScriptAculoUs - MochiKit - Trac - a port of the script.aculo.us effects to MochiKit. Finally, drag and drop and other effects with the significantly better technical MochiKit base.
Monitor: Vorwürfe gegen Ratiopharm - In case anyone is wondering where all the money for the healthcare system goes ...
Katz Eye Focusing Screen for the Canon 10D @ KatzEyeOptics.com - Replacement focusing screen for the EOS 10D with split-image indicator and microprisms and - optionally - composition lines. Fished from my comments - thanks, Wolf. The focusing screens are also available for other camera types. Unfortunately, the AF point illuminations no longer work with the EOS, so suboptimal for mixed use.
RFID-Zapper - 22C3 - the DIY project for the summer?
Ancient Languages: Perl - already old, but simply great. A bitter account with Larry Wall and Perl.
Django Paste - Ian is starting to integrate Django with paste (and paste deploy). I for one will most definitely try to support that, so his list of related tickets is already down by one. Paste deploy might even be taken as the future default FCGI/SCGI solution - because it uses the same FLUP lib, it is as capable as my scripts, but due to the structure of Paste, installation should be much easier (and might even be standard in the future with Python hosters).
