Very Small Update to Weechat Plugin for Software Freedom Day!

So today, September 20, 2008, is Software Freedom Day. To celebrate, I figured I'd update my small (but useful!) weechat plugin for capturing nick highlights - dubbed highlightaggregator, which is released under the GPL. My quick update just modifies the output string of a captured highlight message so that it now is in the form of "$nick | $message ($network:$channel | $timestamp)". The timestamp bit is a new addition with the handy use of python's time module.

Enjoy!

iPhone Development Hurdles

I certainly hope the tasks involved in developing and deploying an application for Android will not be this hard.

As I described to a friend earlier today, everything Apple produces seems to be:
  1. Swank
  2. Useful
  3. An utter pain in the ass
Looks like (development for) 3rd party iPhone apps meets all the criterion.
