Philemon chess program

An interesting project by Dominik (Philemon) Käser:

Philemon (alternative URL), a chess program with a strength of about 2000 ELO.

Nice, concise assembly of information about chess algorithms (in German only). Source code is available for download (I can’t find any licensing information though).

Test of the Motorola MPx

En français et en détail :)

Mobinaute

Rough translation of the love/hate list:

love:
+ form factor
+ dimensions
+ weight
+ colors of the PDA in the night with the buttons of the external/cover screen and the keyboard
+ simultaneous WiFi and Bluetooth connection
+ external/cover screen and its functionality

hate:

– sd card difficult to insert
– no integrated backup software
– changing the sim requires removal of the battery
– CPU is too slow
– autonomy [battery life] is bad
– PPC Phone Edition only offers minimum phone functionality

Some pictures of the Swiss Firefox 1.0 release party in Zurich/Switzerland

I’ve uploaded a couple of pictures of the Swiss Firefox 1.0 Release party in Zurich/Switzerland. Additional, password-protected pictures (as people are recognizable) and 2 short movie clips can be accessed using received credentials (login by clicking on [login], then click on the appearing nested album).

Kudos to the organizers of the party: http://www.andrist.org/ /

And thanks a lot to all the devs and contributors of Mozilla Firefox 1.0, the best web browser ever :)

HTML in comments no longer allowed

As a provisional but hopefully effective additional measure against massive (24/7) comment blog spam any comments containing HTML links (<a href= etc.) will be trashed (just enter the URL instead). Thanks for your understanding.

Outblogged? Blogout?

..not yet, but almost ;) I need to find another anti-spam solution as by now, way too many comment spam postings pass MTB. And even those that don’t pass seem to confuse MT and leave my latest comments/pings list in a mess.

Promising candidate: SCode

Or should I write my own anti-spam plugin for MT? :)

Get Firefox!

I use Mozilla Firefox for quite a while now and I am very happy with it. It’s high time to spread the word:

Get Firefox!

It’s probably the last chance for you to claim you were already using Firefox before its official release (1.0) ;)
