As a follow up to yesterdays post, a howto for creating the LatinIME dictionary (in this case raw-nl/main.dict) files!
All info necessary to do so is readily available on http://code.google.com/p/softkeyboard/wiki/BinaryDictionaries
As a base, you need a wad of decent text, the more the better! The quality of the dictionary will improve as more data is fed into [...]

Where are the Keyboard Dictionaries in #Android?
Posted: 19th August 2010 by Gert in Android, PlanetI love the Froyo multiple languages keyboard feature! Its AWESOME, sliding a finger over the keyboard to change language .. Awesome!
If your specific dictionary is in there. Which it probably isnt, since there are only 6 dictionaries in the default keyboard. And Dutch isnt in there. Dutch is in several other keyboards, like the HTC [...]
I dont get it. Telenet has this Wonderful detail view. Im not on the unlimited plan and I can see my downloading habits in this great graph, How much (yeah, thats 83G this month), what type of volume, .. Its all there.
Then Why the Fuck do I have friends, paying more than I do, NOT getting that [...]
The internet is a creative and often cruel place!
Posted: 17th August 2010 by Gert in Interwebs, PlanetAnd documenting the most popular and often most cruel pieces of creativity is http://knowyourmeme.com/
And there are some AMAZING things on here. Do read the dedicated pages however, the base video might be worth watching, but the epic part is what happens with it afterwards. Peoples reactions, follow up videos, remixes or parody..
From the very funny

Had another unit lying around, gathering dust. Mini portable servers are an incredible source of potential fun.. if you can do with them what you need to. And that means not being locked down to the firmware. Initial firmware was 0.7.2 r3; which sucks. Luckilly, after a hardware reset, the software reverted to the more [...]
The ssh login into my OpenWRT box; OpenWRT Kamikaze.
Yes THAT Kamikaze Great cocktail!
Though our recipe deals with liters not with oz (ie 1l of each), we add some sugar and just use a big bowl.
That drink caused some Epic stories.
Wait, Stop, Hold the flaming, I know. Its slightly unethical to do so. But, the Fon2200 is utterly unusable in its usual, locked down version. I dont need the NAT (au contraire, its extremely annoying in my setup); I need more options to separate the fon and the private networks; .. Not to mention that [...]
After the dissapointments and sparkle of hope I talked about in “Updating the Hero” earlier, I kept a close watch on the site with that crontab I described. (damn, what machine is that running on again? .. probably the Soekris…) The crontab yielded results several times, but it was never the update I was waiting [...]
As a first in the “Conversations” series, (yes series, because I am SO interesting that I write interesting shit Constantly; even in emails to random people who I sometimes dont even know or have reason to mail!) We present to you, The Iphone Question. (yes, that was a Royal We!)
Today, part of a conversation with [...]
The new Telenet usage formulas are up. (Probably for a while already but I just discovered today.) Ive got a 80Gb download limit now; others are unlimited.
Unlimited internet? Well, no.
Turbonet and up customers can enjoy “Free Downloading”. You can now choose to pay for the perception of unlimited downloading. There still is a limit but [...]
Although I really love the reCaptcha system, I was asked to check out Captchas that were 100% certain (even when the serv would not be able to reach extrernal servers)
So Im checking out “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart” in Perl!
The main concerns being Security, Legibility and Independence. Turns out [...]
I took some interesting pictures the last few days. All sorts of exciting evidence and the base for a post on coffee When earlier today I needed to produce some of that evidence; I discovered that my SD card or whatever was having a hickup. The files (admittedly, nearly 300 pictures) weren’t in [...]
