Trolltech will be shipping a linux-based phone for developers in September. The device will be sold with a developer kit with everything (presumably) you need to write/rewrite software for it. It will connect to cell networks via GSM/GPRS and have builtin wifi. (Story here).
Depending on the price, I really think I want [...]

More Microsummaries
July 20, 2006 – 2:51 pm
This Microsummary thing is fun! I keep coming across sites/pages that should have them, so I keep makin em. I threw up a little script to allow viewing and installing the ones I’ve made. I propose a wiki-ish microsummary generator site to allow folks to submit ones they’ve made for others’ use. [...]
Microsummaries

Microsummaries are a fun little addition to the upcoming Firefox 2.0 (and currently in the Beta 1 release). Basically, your bookmark titles can update automatically to give you a quick view of what’s happening on the site. As an example (and my first generator), check out this screen shot of the current weather [...]
Read-only select elements in HTML

Can anyone out there please explain the rational behind this? It seems perfectly reasonable to [...]

Is there any standard (or at least reliable) way [...]
vimdiff
February 3, 2006 – 10:34 am
Not long ago, I found out about vimdiff. Basically, vim will open two files with a vertical split and highlight differences between them. You can navigate through the files and use :diffput and :diffget to synchronize blocks of the file. My programming life doesn’t involve patches and version control and all that, [...]
Upload to Flickr with Perl
June 22, 2005 – 9:33 am
So, I’m writing Pictr.us in perl. And It is supposed to be able to upload images to flickr. After reading some sketchy documentation, I finally figured out how to accomplish this. It’s suprisingly easy.
I’m using the LWP::UserAgent module for all of my api requests to flickr, and it turns out that LWP [...]
