"Русские" и Германия · 2006-10-22 09:12 by Wladimir Palant
Подумал недавно над тем, как наши бывшие соотечественники, родившиеся на территории бывшего Союза и эмигрировавшие в Германию уже в сознательном возрасте, эту самую Германию воспринимают. Получилось, что тут в основном существует три категории.

It is traveling time again · 2006-10-03 02:15 by Wladimir Palant
I will be traveling a lot, starting this Saturday. I am taking the remaining week of my vacation visiting Cologne and Hamburg, then I’ll be attending to ACM Multimedia in Santa Barbara, CA and NetGames in Singapore. I won’t be back in Oslo until November so don’t expect me to do much Adblock Plus development until then. I’ll try to answer mails from time to time.

Note: Minimal required browser version is K-Meleon 1.02.
Known issues
Subscription suggestions dialog causes each toolbar to be placed on a separate line (only visible in the Russian version of K-Meleon for some reason)K-Meleon sometimes crashes on exit (only visible in the Russian version of K-Meleon for some reason)Toolbar icon uses a whole line for itself by default, needs to be moved/resized(thanks to Quicksilver tears)
First browser with Adblock Plus built-in released · 2006-09-29 01:58 by Wladimir Palant
The very first browser with Adblock Plus built-in was released today — K-MeleonCCF 0.05.6.5, thanks Hao Jiang. And that despite the fact that the development build used was marked EXPERIMENTAL and that it wasn’t tested at all in this variation of K-Meleon (unlike the regular K-Meleon it has tabs, and this release is actually the first version not to crash when Adblock Plus is installed).

Heise-RSS in Thunderbird vernünftig lesen · 2006-09-24 06:03 by Wladimir Palant
Ich bin sicher, dass ich nicht der einzige bin, der sich über den RSS-Feed von Heise geärgert hat. Was soll man damit, wenn da keine Zusammenfassung drin steht? Versuchen, den Inhalt an der Überschrift zu erraten? Selbst das Datum der Meldung gibt es in dem Feed erst seit kurzem.
