Bosen dengan Gosonx yang ngobrolin Gnome? :p Ya, mari kita ramaikan lagi dunia dengan KDE 4.2 yang totally shiny. Precioussss

You see, plasmoid bisa dibuat dengan Python, Ruby dan Javascript. UI building memang belum friendly. Antara memang widget-nya belum komplit atau saya yang kurang akrab dengan API Plasma. Buktinya plasmoid RSSNow bisa tampil cantik.

Oke sonx, kutunggu du.. eh, skrinsutmu ..

Morning Coffee: Prioritise Your Reading List

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Ever feeling overloaded with informations? Techmeme, engadget, mashable, readwriteweb, etc. Which one to read first?

Let’s welcome MorningCoffee! MorningCoffee is your great assistant, giving you priorites which information to digest first. Given a list of feed URLs, MorningCoffee will come up with a scored reading list. The top most is the one generate the most buzz.

For this prototype MorningCoffee uses FriendFeed visibility scoring. Item which appears more in FriendFeed will have higher score. An item may appear in FriendFeed when people share it from Google Reader, delicious, and others.

This scoring is pretty simple at the moment. But it will likely be updated to cater comments, likes, and hides in FriendFeed.

UI is rather too dull. A proper title and hiding the URL may be the closest milestone. Paging will follow soon.

Friendfeed 101

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

A lot would say: What the hell is Friendfeed? I ain’t gettin’ any positives.

Well, to be honest, I’ve been saying the similar sentence. I’m been “using” Friendfeed for sometime but I hardly get what does it do than aggregating my lifestream and my friend lifestream. Scoble makes it clear today

Mark: I spend a lot of time aggregating articles together that have a certain kind of value. It sounds like you, and Gabe, are two of those kinds of people (who would rather read about Steve Jobs’ health or something smart or something geeky than look at random angry tweets or photos of bacon). It’s very easy. You can add a list and put me in it separate from all the other people. That way you can get the stuff I’m filtering out for you and you can ALSO subscribe to everyone else. Very easy, and powerful! – Robert Scoble

And it’s true. I’ve been receiving some positives today. Where? From the right sources. People who actually stay in friendfeed and bouncing conversation. Not people who stay out of friendfeed and jotting his stuff blindly to it. So, if you still don’t get it then start following the right people. Start joining a room.

I’ll see you there.
