German-Czech dictionary for StarDict

As there was started project for German-Czech dictionary, I've quickly added it to my conversion scripts and these dictionaries are now available in StarDict format as well.

Don't expect much right now, the project has just started and contains only few words :-).

PS: Authors are aware of dicts.info and other free dictionaries and want to cooperate somehow.

Comments on blog

One of reasons of recent move my blog to custom Django based application was use of comments. Today I've finally found time to enable support for them, so you can provide me feedback directly without mailing me or reposting on some planet where my blog is syndicated.

I hope it will not turn into fight with spam bots, for now I'm using only protection Django has built-in.

New default theme for phpMyAdmin

There seems to be increasing demand for changing default theme in phpMyAdmin. Well the obvious question is which one to choose :-). There are currently 3 themes compatible with 3.3 branch, what is still far away from current master, however I don't see that they would mean big improvement over current ones.

Maybe we should just make some contest for new theme?

Anyway if we decided to change the theme, we will still get complains from users that we did the change. At least this is what I remember from last attempt to do so several years ago :-).
