FM4 Ogg stream down

The source of the unofficial FM4 stream is currently unavailable, thus I can not relay the stream right now. More information on this can be found here:

http://fm4.amd.co.at/

Meanwhile the streams will be offline. Maybe you, the listener, want to take this as an opportunity to ask ORF.at to provide Ogg/Vorbis streams on their own.

django-weave and xul-ext-weave

I’ve spent the last week on helping Jens Diemer to develop a Weave server for the Django framework: django-weave

By now the result is a fully working Weave server, already in use at my own server and syncing my bookmarks and my history across 4 devices: all Debian desktops, yet no mobile device, testers are welcome.

The project can be found at this locations:

Thanks to Jens who took the time to spread the word about our project across the web.

To make usage of Weave even more comfortable (at least for Debian/Ubuntu users) I’ve taken my shot at packaging the Weave client for Firefox/Iceweasel into a .deb file:

It works for me at the moment but needs extensive testing and should be considered experimental right now but feedback is always appreciated.

New Debian Python packages

Several new and updated Python packages have been uploaded to my repository:

Meanwhile I’m still working on getting my first Python package into official Debian repository: django-picklefield

Kudos to Jakub Wilk for pointing out my initial mistakes on packaging.
