My Firefox search article gets Slashdotted (by proxy)
Forever Geek was looking for articles not a while back, and I thought, "what the heck" why don't I just ask Paul Scrivens (Paul is the main Forever Geek guy) if he'd like to publish my old original Outsearch with Firefox article. Even though he did say in his post that he didn't want articles that were published elsewhere before ;).
Well, he did publish it and the Outsearch with Firefox article at Forever Geek was Slashdotted.

Looking for video editing blogs
Help me out here. I'm looking for blogs focused on video editing, video editing software, or more generally, video-related blogs. Blogs on the topic of taking videos too.
If you know if any of these, post a comment or drop me a line.
Thanks!

Blogupdates gets a facelift
Update: Oh no it seems that I was wrong about the timezone bug being fixed. This entry is still appearing at the top with with the time incorrectly stated (posted "5 hours 56 minutes ago" at this time).
Blogupdates from Henrik Gemal is a Mozilla-related blog aggregator, and it has recently undergone a facelift and, more importantly for me, some reworking of the code. I say "more importantly for me" because for the past months (since my Mozilla category feed was added to Blogupdates), my entries were hogging top spot on Blogupdates because of a bug in the code that didn't properly take timezones into account. Embarassing because it would've appeard that I was a sad no-lifer who kept updating his blog entries to keep the top spot (of course I wasn't doing anything of this sort, though I am still a sad no-lifer). If anyone noticed this before, let it be known henceforth that my name is clear of guilt (or something like that, said in a self-righteous tone). Thanks for fixing this, Henrik!
Anyway, if you're a Mozilla fan, Blogupdates is one of the must-see pages, perhaps even better than the MozillaZine Feedhouse because it notifies you which entries are new since you last visited. But it's really up to you to choose between them both (or you could read both), because there isn't a real difference between them both. Though Blogupdates did exist way before the Mozillazine Feedhouse did.

No time for gExodus - (Python) source released
Ugh, I've been having less and less time to work on gExodus (version 0.2, version 0.1 - I really should put these in a consolidated area), mainly due to work and my need to relax once I get home (well, most times I just surf around, watch anime, and blearily gaze at the TV as it screens Euro 2004 matches nowadays).
Adding support for Outlook Express (.DBX) and Outlook (.PST) email formats was something I thought would be in the offing for gExodus, but it seems that the format is just too proprietary to figure out. Arne Schloh has been working on decoding the .DBX format but only has achieved about 90% of the task. There are what seems to be very good C libraries, LibPST and LibDBX, but I don't really want to dive into using C libraries from Python - though if anyone is willing to shed some light, I'd be all ears. Python libraries for decoding the .DBX or .PST formats? Well, either I haven't looked hard enough or there really aren't any.
So that's that, which basically means that I won't be looking at adding Outlook Express and Outlook support to gExodus barring a breakthrough. Sorry.
Anyway, I thought it would be good to release the source for gExodus as I'd promised - just for the unlikely event that someone wants to extend what little I've done. So here's the Python source files for gExodus (0.2):
To run gExodus from source, you need to have installed Python, wxPython and PythonCard. Gordon McMillan's Installer is needed to build the Windows executable. What is written here should help if you really want to try to work on this. Either way, do feel free to drop a line via my contact form.
