Linksys WMP54g / Linux GPL Drivers

On post on slashdot i just discover that the ndiswrapper is released under GPL. and seems to support my cards :)

Pretty fine since, it’s time for me to purchase the driver from LinuxAnt.

Ok I will give it a try soon …

( important note : it should support intel centrino too :)

You can off course use the linuxant one

Portal Messages

Once again, Ian wrote a nice article on status notification :

And once again, he’s right. But it’s a bit hard to integrate nicely in IHM cause they need sessions or HTTP_POST to disable caching trouble and fixed URL reload. And session aren’t a piece of cookies in Zope. ( as in webare for exemple )

Ho.. i missed to say that i switched to ion too on my notebook, this is pretty hard to use and got a lot of trouble w/ "screen" and frame resizing.

Imode

One broken cellphone ( Alcatel ), a new one: Nec 22i. Despite I don’t really like this kind of stuff, this one looks pretty kool, and have email / and web acces. This gonna drive me in imode-MT access.

Linux on Ipaq

I still have the Ipaq at home. and i have done several things w/. The only trouble is that the ROM is quite full so I can’t install new stuff on .

As you can see here. The ipaq runs Xipaq and a rxvt.



I pretty like the sshd running on iPaq. It really make it damn kool.

Access keys strike back

I’m still fighting for the support of accesskey in Konqueror (See previous post) . This morning i received a good bug report for this. And a really good (http://www.clagnut.com/blog/193) link about the UK Government’s accessibility guidelines.

Mark it’s time to update the DiveIn ?

Twisted or not

I spent a couple of hours to look at http://www.twistedmatrix.com/ . After a little of hacking, i think i understand how it works, mainly static.File. But i still need to work on this since i want to use it to share some large files and this need a little work to avoid locking the whole system.

Perhaps using static.File as core of my system will do the trick but as i want to do some bandwith limitation i need to write some custom stuffs. ..

iKaaro

I’ just discover ikaaro (http://www.ikaaro.org) last night. After a couple of ./configure; make install it seems to work pretty fine. I really need to look at this closer since it use a custom TAL like system that seems to be really faster than original TAL.

Some bugs still remain, i was unable to do cut/paste and there is a bug in guess_contenttype too, but not really a big deal i think.

After looking this a night, the system is really light ( don’t use a couple of CMF products or other things like DC workflow), si it have some limitation but it should be enought to do a good bloging system ( i’m still need to give up about this MT ). but it don’t use reST and this is a bad news.

Another thing that i found usefull is that it use EPoz for html editing and this is pretty kool .

LinuxAnt the price

Hi,

Since you have obtained a trial license for DriverLoader, we are happy to inform you that permanent licenses for end-users are now available from our web store.

https://www.linuxant.com/store.

You can take a look at the press release for all the details.

http://www.linuxant.com/company/press_dldrstore.php

Also note that DriverLoader 1.36 is now available from the download section of our web site. We recommend that all users upgrade to the latest version.

Regards,

Ok now i add to pay for this driver why not . But hum 19$ .. it’s a bit more
than i want to pay for that. I will ask a rebate from Linksys ! And i guess that when i will
pay broadcom will release the source ?

Anyway, LinuxAnt has really made a great job since the driver works on centrino too now.

Building KDE Applet for fun and profit

I have been waiting for this since a long. After writing a lot of applet for gnome desktop, now we can also write some for KDE !

Take a look at this article for additionnal infos. I’m pretty sure that a lot of fun applet will rise soon. I get some idea right now.

I really think that Python is the weapon key for desktop, so open you eyes .. let’s start :)

DiveInto Everything

Bien connu dans le monde Python, il semble que peu de personne connaissent Mark Pilgrim. Je vais donc faire quelques rappels :

  • Mark est l’auteur de DiveIntoPython: un tutoriel approfondi sur Python.
  • Mais aussi, l’auteur de l’incontournable DiveIntoAccessibility : Un document incontournable sur l’accessibilité au web pour les personnes handicappés. J’en profite pour rappeler que la traduction francaise se trouve ici. (Merci a Karl pour cette traduction exemplaire). Personne ne devrait écrire une page web sans avoir lu ce document !!!!

De plus, je rappelle ce document qui est un début d’étude pour une adaptation au niveau gouvernemental.
