Against entropy.
Forskningsavdelningen decided to have a RFID workshop on Thursday (today 27 August 2009), so please come today and bring your rfid tags and readers.

Kiswahili (SW) Language Pack, an add-on for Firefox. A while ago I joined a Tanzanian mailing list called eThinkTank Tanzania (no longer online; 2018 update), 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 …
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!
Perhaps your next programming language? Thorn. (A JVM scripting language.) John Field’s talk at JAOO in Ã…rhus 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.

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 …

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 …
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 …
Update: Fixed link to patch. Thank you, helpful commenters! You fix the Web! Or, onclick, as people say. (This is Google fodder, so I include alternative spellings of clicking – there I go a third time.) I just want you to know that this one person released a great fix, a patch really, for Superfish. …
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 …
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.
