Michał's blog

New version of Thingamablog

I installed the new version (1.0.2) of Thingamablog. I wonder if it improved support for other languages. Here's a short test.

Polish: Michał ąęśźżń

Chinese (default font): 你好

Chinese (MingLiU): 你好

Moving my blog

I have moved my blog to http://blog.cierniak.org. This new blog uses the blogger.com technology although it is hosted on my server.

del.icio.us

I heard so much about del.icio.us that I decided to play with it today. I set up my page and added a few bookmarks. It is indeed a neat idea. However I will probably stick to Yahoo for now since I like having everything on one web page.

Python

I finally found some time to read a little about Python. I even started to write a small test program to test how good Python would be for organizing information on my computer. It would work very well. Now, if only I had time to play with it some more after my vacation is over... But I know that this is not very likely.

Dedication Public License

I downloaded today Spybot-S&D. This is a software package to remove various kinds of malicious software installed on your computer. It came with a very cool Dedication Public License.

Google groups

I have decided to see what the Beta Google Groups site is like. I created a group of the same name as the group I maintain on Yahoo for my book club. Overall it looks very similar to Yahoo Groups but I like the threading view of the messages. Also it doesn't append any ads at the end of each message. The only problem is that it is not very reliable at this point. Maybe when it comes out of beta, I will migrate my book club there.

blogger.com

And now I created a blogger.com site. It looks very cool that I can have it hosted on my web site. There's even an RSS feed. However I will probably not use it since it doesn't support categories.

MSN Spaces

I have created a blog at MSN Spaces to see if I like it better than hosting my own blog. I like the way you edit your personal space. You can drag and drop various modules in your space. I'm not sure if I like it overall for my blog though.
