Kiswahili Add-on for Firefox
Kiswahili (SW) Language Pack, an add-on for Firefox.
A while ago I joined a Tanzanian mailing list called eThinkTank Tanzania, which sports 1200 subscribers. It’s my source of cool East African IT news. I’ll try to republish good stuff here, and in my Delicious bookmarks feed. Some stories need some background, so I’ll try to frame [...]
Bespin: Accepting patches in style
Just received a messenger bag and a t-shirt from a UPS delivery person.
The were sent to me as a thank-you for a few patches I did in the Mozilla Labs Bespin project. Those guys know how to accept a patch in style. Thanks!
Thorn presentation at JAOO
Perhaps your next programming language? Thorn. (A JVM scripting language.)
John Field’s talk at JAOO in Århus 2009 is about that. Here is the interesting blurb from that page:
Scripting languages are justifiably popular because of their support for rapid and exploratory development. However, scripts are notoriously hard to compose and to evolve. Additionallly, though more and [...]
Want to be Gopher-famous?
Sometimes, I think about Net fame, how it drives folks (including me, to some extent) to do more or less heroic feats of help to Open Source projects they dig. Here is a luke-warm little task you could grab as yours:
It has also been announced that support for the Gopher protocol will be removed by [...]
lynx, vim, k2
Posting from Lynx, so I will probably lose many of my edits.
Today, we battled a Windows installation inside a Mac. Using elderly device drivers was entertaining: “Get values” meant load the full hardware configuration from the hardware. “Modify” was a button that wanted you to first select the label of a property, then press that [...]

SMAPLER v2 kits build report
All in an afternoon’s work. Two Smaplers, built from kits. Our first kits, ever. Pictures. You came for the pictures, right?
A week ago, I bought two kits for an Arduino shield that had audio capabilities and a PS/2 connector. The kit was called SMAPLER. I intended to build the kit together with David, so I [...]
Wordpress 2.5 binary review: 1
OK, I can’t shut up about it: it looks just cool. It now has more stuff than I bargained for. Anyone hosting their WP themselves should be upgrading. I guess I’m aiming for a newer theme, to get all the latest freshness on the frontend, too.
As Wordpress has progressed, I have dropped plugin after plugin, [...]
Web Hacking Oresund website up
I made a little web site for the hands-on Open Source group we’re putting together in here Malmö. That’s a little more Google-friendly: http://hackmeetup.ollehost.dk is the URL to Web Hacking Oresund.
I used the simple Ruby project Webgen to make the site, and rsync to get it online.
