i’ve been waiting for this since i first used wordle. wordle was great. it has a great design and is easy to use, but the java plugin mess was horrible. it worked unter mac os x but linux support is just not there when you want to export a word cloud as vector graphic.
now jason davies did a similar thing but in java script; it’s open source and on github. thank you jason! your effort is very much appreciated 🙂

morgen startet ORF III (ORF 3) und ORF Sport + (ORF Sport Plus).
da ich nirgendwo eine aktuelle channel.conf für dvb-t gefunden habe, hab’ ich sie selbst für Graz erstellt:

in anderen regionen österreichs wird diese klarerweise variieren.
mit einem USB dvb-t empfänger und linux startet man den VLC so:
vlc channel.conf
viel spass.
for the last chromium icon i made HAL version. chrome and chromium got new logos. so i have an update for the HAL icon:
this time i’m providing the svg file and of course you can get the png from above.
Recently I’ve switched from Firefox to Chrome/Chromium (still don’t know which one to use). So far the browser is great. One of the reasons i switched was the HTML5 video capabilities of Chrome. Now i don’t have to indirectly support Flash any more. Another reason is the speed. It’s much faster than Firefox 3. Chrome still gives me the impression that Google is looking over ones shoulder. I know this is the case for every browser you use nowadays. Google Analytics, Google Docs, Gmail, Google font directory, etc. lets Google get a really good estimate of what we are doing. So it really does not matter what you use. you may as well use Chrome.
however the icons of chrome and chromium were a little too gumball machine like. so i grabed the chromium icon and recolored it. As reminder of the all knowing power behind it: HAL style 🙂
here you can grab the Mac Os X icon. have fun.
EDIT btw: the icon is under the same license as the original chromium icon.
viel besser kann man es nicht auf den punkt bringen. ich kann kaum offene alternativen, die man selbst hosten kann, erwarten.
alexander lehmann hat schon ein paar so geniale filmchen gemacht. ich fand auch karls posting zu dem thema sehr lesenswert.
Am samstag waren sie wieder, die grazer linuxtage. das programm war vielfältig, die stimmung gut und die menschen massen kaum zu bändigen. die teilnehmerzahl dürfte bei ca. 500 gelegen sein. unter anderem gab es vorträge über blender, openstreetmap, mysql, openoffice, grml, LaTeX, ubuntu, postgresql und python zu hören. neben den vorträgen fand auch noch einen workshop zum arbeiten mit der shell und LPI und BSD prüfungen statt. an den ständen waren natürlich neben grml, gentoo, kde, die fsfe, funkfeuer, openstreetmap, viele andere vertreten.
da ich heuer das erste mal offiziell als fotograf mit von der partie war, durfte ich das treiben ungestört beobachten. konnte aber leider nur wenig vorträge besuchen. dafür sind die fotos hoffentlich umso aufschlussreicher. sie stehen ab heute online unter http://glt10.flo.cx/ unter der cc-by lizenz zum anschauen und zum download zur verfügung.
i love firefox addons for certain quick tasks. they get things done so much faster and there are some really nice ones that i use regularly.
one of them was Exif Viewer, until it stopped working with version 3.6.* of firefox. 😐
since there was no update since July 2009 i didn’t expect a quick fix. so i did it myself.
here is what you do to make the addon work again (i already had it installed when i upgraded firefox to 3.6).
go to (the SOME_HEX_ID part is usually different for everone)
1 | ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/[SOME_HEX_ID].default/extensions/exif_viewer@mozilla.doslash.org/ |
and edit the file
1 | install.rdf |
in that directory.
change:
1 2 3 4 | [...] em:minVersion="1.5" em:maxVersion="<strong>3.5.*</strong>" /> <!-- Firefox --> [...] |
to
1 2 3 4 | [...] em:minVersion="1.5" em:maxVersion="<strong>3.9.*</strong>" /> <!-- Firefox --> [...] |
or a version number that suits you. after a firefox restart the exif viewer addon should work again.
i give no guarantee this will work on any version of firefox. after all there is a reason they put a version number in there 😉
