  <title>Using gnome-doc-utils for documentation translation</title>
  <link>https://danilo.segan.org/blog/gnome/shaunize</link>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>I've finally gotten around to porting one module to
gnome-doc-utils (<a href="http://gnome.org/~shaunm/blog/">Shaun's</a>
<em>awesome</em> build system for documentation).  The chosen module
was (surprisingly) gnome-hello.  I haven't committed anything yet, but
I've generated a  
<a href="http://kvota.net/hacks/shaunize/gnome-hello-2.0.3.tar.gz">tarball</a>  
(with Serbian documentation as well — figures are not yet installed
due to bug in gnome-doc-utils; copy them over manually for now).</p>

<p>I've also posted a <a
href="http://kvota.net/hacks/shaunize/guide.html">preliminary
instructions</a> for gdu-enabling your modules (there're also some
missing features from gnome-doc-utils, which are described there as
well).  Until all of this is committed (updates to gnome-doc-utils,
gnome-hello), you can follow these manual steps to enable
documentation translation with PO files for any of your modules.</p>

<p>When gdu-enabled, your translators will need only to put
translated .PO file into <code>help/<em>LANG</em>/<em>LANG</em>.po</code>.</p>

<p>And for those unaware, this process has a new name as well:</p>
<center><strong>SHAUNIZE!</strong></center>

  <title>Quechua Gnome translations</title>
  <link>https://danilo.segan.org/blog/prevod/quechua</link>
  <description><![CDATA[
<blockquote><a
href="http://www.gnome.org/~mariano/blog/2004/11/15"><strong>Mariano:</strong></a>
Sadly, I do not even know anyone who speaks Quechua, but I am sure 
someone does, and there must be a rather important Quechua community,
for otherwise Microsoft would not mind doing a translation, so I am
sure there must be people who both speak Quechua and are willing to
work on translating GNOME...</blockquote>

<p>Coincidentally (or not?), someone sent a  <a
href="http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2004-November/msg00041.html">mail</a>
about starting Quechua team to gnome-i18n list just yesterday.  Guess
you'd like to know about it.

<p>We at the GTP always hope that means another supported language
in Gnome :)

  <title>Philips HDD100 MP3 player on GNU/Linux</title>
  <link>https://danilo.segan.org/blog/hardver/philips-hdd100-linux</link>
  <description><![CDATA[
<p>I just got my hands on Philips HDD100 MP3 player: 15GB MP3 player
with support for MP3 and WMV formats (not that I would ever use the
latter).  If it was me, I'd never get myself a player which doesn't
support Ogg (OTOH, $180 for 15GB USB drive is not that bad either :),
but this one is my sister's :-)  I just get to use it from time to
time, and removeable storage is what I never refuse.

<center><img src="http://kvota.net/hacks/philips-hdd100/philips-hdd100-mp3-player.jpg"></center>

<p>It's "usb-storage" compatible, so one can just plug it into any
sufficiently new GNU/Linux system, and get access to another disk.
So I did, and copied a few songs, but it turns out it requires
proprietary database in order to read files (it doesn't read the
directories themselves).

<p>After some Googling, I couldn't find any existing software to
create these databases, but I found just what I needed: <a
href="http://solonweb.free.fr/tech.htm">technical
specifications</a>.  This means that I don't have to do any
reverse-engineering of databases, so it took mere 1-2 hours to write
a <a href="http://python.org">Python</a> program to create suitable
databases (I first started writing it in C, but then I though, what
the heck, it'd be faster and easier to do it in Python, though I never
handled binary records using Python, which turned out to be very easy :).

<p>So, if you've got this player and want to use it without using
Windows, grab <a
href="http://kvota.net/hacks/philips-hdd100/create-index.py">create-index.py</a>,
put it in your path, <code>chmod +x</code> it, mount the player, and
run the program.  If that's a bit too much, here's how I do it:

<pre>$ mount -o umask=000 /dev/sde1 /mp3player
$ (cd /mp3player && create-index.py System/data Muzika System/music)
$ umount /mp3player
</pre>

<p>It's certainly very buggy currently. You'd also need <a
href="http://kvota.net/hacks/philips-hdd100/ID3.py">ID3</a> module
installed (official web page is at <a
href="http://id3-py.sf.net">id3-py.sf.net</a>).  Many features are
currently missing (such as playlists).  Any patches and 
improvements are welcome :-)

<p>Although Philips' original software renames files to very short
names, it's possible to use longer names if you modify some header
fields, and that's what I do (and it works mostly :). <a
href="http://solonweb.free.fr">SolonWeb</a>, otoh, claims that it
doesn't work correctly, so I just say: <em>it works for me</em>.

<p>Note that Philips firmware is not what you'd call great: it
occasionally freezes, and you have to resort to hardware reset: press
volume up (on the right side of the player) and up arrow (previous
track button on the player) for around 4 seconds to shut it down.

<p>Hope this helps anyone in trying to use Philips HDD100 15GB MP3
player on some of GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, or any other <a
href="http://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free</a> system.  At
least for playing music, since external hard drive features work out
of the box.

  <title>USA Election results</title>

  <description><![CDATA[
<p>With long essays mourning over USA election results on <a
href="http://planet.gnome.org">Planet Gnome</a>, I like the reaction
of <a href="http://fontforge.sf.net">FontForge</a> author best: <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9960410">short
and unambigous</a>.

<p>Good luck with your efforts, George (Williams, not Bush you crazy men). ;-)
