English-Czech dictionary daily builds

I started to generate daily builds from GNU/FDL Anglicko-Český slovník for StarDict. Largest difference compared to previous version is that now StarDict version is generated directly from source word list (previous was done from dict dictionaries) using my own convertor.

The convertor is for now available only in Arch repostiory as slovnik2stardict--devel--1 (or browsable via ArchZoom).

You can download builds from download server (latest tarball, approx 4MiB), Debian users can use non-free section on debian.cihar.com.

Debian repository change

As result of reorganisation, my Debian repository structure has been changed. Correct sources.list lines are now following:

deb http://debian.cihar.com/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.cihar.com/ unstable main contrib non-free

Please also note that Gammu is already in Debian unstable and testing, so you can use version from there. I usually use this repository as place where my sponsor downloads source packages, so new version appear here sooner than in Debian archive (this is especially true when packages needs to go through NEW queue).

This repository contains all packages for i386 and amd64 architectures. You can browse their list on debian.cihar.com.

New phpMyAdmin demo server

I just updated phpMyAdmin demo server which is hosted by me. You can now find there all relational and MIME features enabled, so enjoy full power of phpMyAdmin on pma.cihar.com.

It also runs on new server, so it should be faster and without power downs.

phpMyAdmin goes Open Document

After many years waiting, RFE #1068007 is done. phpMyAdmin can now export to Open Document Text and Open Document Spreadsheet. Implementation is quite simple, just generate content.xml and feed it into simle functions which puts together zip file containin everything needed.

If you don't use CVS version, you'll have to wait for 2.9.0 release.

New blog

After some time I spent blogging in Czech on abclinuxu.cz, I decided to create own blog. Both blogs will probably coexist as this will be English only.

Keep translating Wammu!

After initial boom, interest in translating Wammu in Lanchpad seems to be decreased. There are three almost complete translations (German, Italian and Korean), but the rest is very behind. Take few minutes and help bringing Wammu into your language!
