WebKit/Epiphany

Posted by lorenb on Mar 16, 2009 in linux, technology

Saw some good news this morning as WebKit GTK+ released v1.1.3 and along with it comes the first Epiphany release based on that code.
I’ve been waiting for that for a while. I’ll have to try it out soon as I find that Epiphany/Gecko that I’m using now crashes a lot.

Posted by lorenb on Feb 23, 2009 in business, linux

In order to sell on the Android Market you need to have a Google Checkout Merchant account. When I tried to do that for our company it wasn’t possible in their sign up form.

Android Market

Posted by lorenb on Feb 20, 2009 in business, linux

I saw that Google is letting paid applications into the Android Market.
I registered our company as a developer. I wanted to setup a merchant account as that is a requirement for selling paid apps but they seem to only support US/UK right now. Looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer.

epiphany

I use Linux 90% of the time on my comptuers. Obviously for iPhone development I have to use a Mac and some of my consulting clients require Windows so I have that in VMs.
Since GNOME 2.24, I’ve been having problems with my Epiphany web browser. When I download text files or PDF it tries to [...]

Enter ext4

Posted by lorenb on Dec 26, 2008 in linux

I saw that the Linux Kernel 2.6.28 was released on Christmas. I’ve been waiting for that as I wanted to try out ext4.
I was going to try it out on desktop and/or laptop first but there were some issues with my onboard Intel video after the 2.6.28 upgrade. So that was a no go. Decided [...]
