As you can see I am watching Lost Very Happy

Beach Shot from the Nokia N80 Permalink

At the end of last year I picked up a cheap N80 which has a good camera and Wifi which is pretty cool. I have not done very much outdoor photography with it but here's a good example. When the temperature rises, I'll be snapping away again Cool

The BBC and Web Sliders and Mood News Permalink

The BBC have been working on some cool RSS projects and they are going to open source a web slider controls soon too. There's a pretty cool demo to play with. The idea is you 'mix' a level of locality to the news you want.

I have always wanted to add a slider to MoodNews and this looks like a good fit. Other slider controls are available! Speaking of the BBC, MoodNews got a mention on the PM blog the other day. PM is probably my favourite news program on radio and accompanies me on my commute home each night.

Firedrop2 Plugin - Show Google Reader Shared Items Permalink

This a quick plugin for FireDrop to share your GReader items in your blog. Requires the rather cool FeedParser. Remember to change the URL or you will be sharing my items!

# Plugin: Grab Google Reader items
import feedparser

class GRSharePlugin(object):
    button_text = "GR Shared Items"

    def OnClick(self, mainframe):
        d = feedparser.parse("http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/14887738374122955936/state/com.google/broadcast")
        entry = mainframe.active_entry
        entry['body'] = entry['body'] + '<ol>\r\n'
        for item in d.entries:
            entry['body'] = entry['body'] + '<li> <a href=\"' +  item.link + '\">\r\n'
            entry['body'] = entry['body'] + item.title
            entry['body'] = entry['body'] + '</a>\r\n'
        entry['body'] = entry['body'] + '</ol>\r\n'
        mainframe.editor.SetValue(entry.tostring())
        mainframe.SaveCurrentEntry()

Lifespring! Family Bible Daily Audio Gadget Permalink

Here's another Google Gadget for Lifespring - this fits into your personalised homepage. The schedules starts again on the 10th January.

To help create this and the Google Calendar for LFB, I used IronPython to download the podcast entries and the CPython Interface (with regular Python) to create the Calendar entries.
