wiki

Just a thought that came up during a RIPE meeting; It’s interesting how “There’s no problem that cannot be solved by adding another layer of abstraction” has changed with the Web 2.0 phenomenon to “There’s no problem that cannot be solved by starting a Wiki”.

mailboxalert 0.13.1

Of course, the moment you release something, someone finds a problem. So there is a quick update for Mailbox Alert containing some bugfixes. Changelog Direct download

mailboxalert 0.13

I’ve finally uploaded the final version of Mailbox Alert 0.13 to AMO, it’s taken long enough. Sorry to all the people not having their requests for changes granted ;) Maybe next version. But the changes are big enough, see the Changelog. Most important are a way more efficient way to store settings, and a whole new internal alert system (kind of based on thunderbird 2’s, but IMHO more elegant). If you can’t wait for AMO to review and accept it, get it here.

BabelZilla

Quite some time ago, someone who made a translation of Mailbox Alert made the suggestion to check out BabelZilla. From their website: This site is dedicated to provide localizations: developers (or their representative) upload their extension(s) using the Web Translation System (WTS), then people around the world apply the “concept” of the localization! Since i can’t reach all of the people who have made translations for my extension, and there have been new texts added to it, I decided to give it a whirl.

mailboxalert 0.12

New version of Mailbox Alert, not much has changed; I have tested it with Thunderbird 2.0rc, and while it does not use the new popups, it still works with the old one. I also fixed the %folder macro bug. As soon as i can log in to AMO again, i’ll upload it there. But for now, you can get it here Happy mailing!

new domain

I got me a new domain: tjeb.nl I have moved from my old domain, and it should be unreachable now. The site is completely the same, please use tjeb.nl from now on.

mailboxalert 0.11

New version of Mailbox Alert! Not much change in the outwards appearance, but there’s a total rewrite of the way of storing the settings. This should fix the problems that some people were having when changing locales. And as a side-effect, settings are now kept when you rename a folder. Oh, and the de_DE locale has been added. If you update and then revert to an old version, the settings will be gone in the old version.

bookcrossing

##BookCrossing## I know this is kind of off-topic here, but I wanted to share this anyway. Once or twice a month I walk up to my mailbox (it’s a bit out of my normal route, since I usually enter my building from the back of the apartment building, and the mailbox is at the front door). Because of this, I am used that there are quite a few letters and overdue bills stacked up in there.

site in svn

I’ve put my site back in svn, this time not to keep a history (revision control isn’t really tailored for websites imho), but so that it can be automatically published if i make a change. This message is mostly a test to see if it works. Since you are reading this, apparently it does.
