Finally back on track and the photo for eight week is on time. This picture was taken from Letná in Prague.

I'm again almost one week late, but here comes photo from seventh week. The good news is that I've managed to process photo for eight week as well so it will follow soon. This picture was taken under Charles bridge in Prague.

Another week is over and it's time to look again at state of translations for phpMyAdmin 3.4. Compared to last week, there one new translation at 100% this week, thanks to Dutch translators.

We now have nine translations at 100%:

• Czech
• English (United Kingdom)
• Dutch
• French
• Russian
• Slovenian
• Spanish
• Swedish
• Turkish

There are three which were close last week, but are still not at 100%:

• Greek
• Chinese (China)
• Catalan

Okay, I finally decided it's about time to make Debian package out of German-Czech dictionary for which I'm providing builds for StarDict.

Daily snapshots are (as usual) available in my Debian repository and the monthly builds will be uploaded to Debian (once it passes NEW queue).

The dictionary currently lists only few words, but I hope it will improve in near future.

There seems to be nice increase in interest in creating themes for phpMyAdmin. Unfortunately today submitted theme came too late for phpMyAdmin theme contest.

The new theme is called Emphasis:

It's now also available on the demo server, so don't hesitate and try it there.

PS: Don't forget to vote for new default phpMyAdmin theme!

As I have complained quite loudly in this blog, I think it's fair to post a status update again.

Yesterday the emails started suddenly to work. So the major reason for my complains is gone.

What I still don't like that this issue was not at all communicated to project admins. It stopped to work, what was sort of announced in blog post. It started to work again without any announcement and last status update in blog still claims they do not work.

At least for direct question, we've received reply that they have intentionally re-enabled this service.

Better late than never. Here comes photo from sixth week. Taken during tour in Cantillion brewery in Brussels.

Another week is over and it's time to look again at state of translations for phpMyAdmin 3.4. There was quite a good progress in last week and hope it will continue this way.

We now have eight translations at 100%:

• Czech
• English (United Kingdom)
• French
• Russian
• Slovenian
• Spanish
• Swedish
• Turkish

There are three which were close last week, but are still not at 100%:

• Greek
• Chinese (China)

As I've already written, SourceForge.Net has limited things which you can do on git/mercurial servers and one of the things they have prohibited is sending emails.

This is one of few things which almost every projects uses so it has brought quite obvious reaction, people are reporting bugs that it stopped to working. The major reason for reporting bug is that this change was not at all communicated to users (nor users nor project admins), so it was just a surprise and every body expects bug and not this kind of reply.

As I don't have way to reopen the ticket, I had to open another one, that the documentation is wrong and I hope the reply will be slightly better.

SF.net, if you still don't believe people used this feature quite a lot, just look at number of bug reports you have in your tracker right now...
