Test of the Motorola MPx

En français et en détail :)

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 :)

Gallery: Solution for problems with login/front page reload

Simple answer: use relative instead of absolute URLs for these two settings in config.php:

photoAlbumURL
albumDirURL

(see FAQ C.8. When I try to click on the “[login]” link on the Gallery page, nothing happens (no window pops up). What’s wrong?)

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:

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

Experimental GPG support in stable portage

Gentoo Linux Newsletter — October 25, 2004

Experimental support for GPG verification: Not completely implemented yet, but a new FEATURES variable gpg in /etc/make.conf that can be set to different levels of strictness will allow checks of the GPG signatures in newer Manifest files.

Sounding familiar? ;)

New feed added to blogroll

Just added Moritz’ blog to my blogroll :) I’m looking forward to trying his gmailfs ebuild for Gentoo as soon as possible :) (Unfortunately, I’ll be very busy for the next two weeks though)
