- <description><p>It would come as no surprise to anyone that I am interested in
-bitcoins and virtual currencies. I've been keeping an eye on virtual
-currencies for many years, and it is part of the reason a few months
-ago, I started writing a python library for collecting currency
-exchange rates and trade on virtual currency exchanges. I decided to
-name the end result valutakrambod, which perhaps can be translated to
-small currency shop.</p>
-
-<p>The library uses the tornado python library to handle HTTP and
-websocket connections, and provide a asynchronous system for
-connecting to and tracking several services. The code is available
-from
-<a href="http://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/valutakrambod">github</a>.</p>
-
-</p>There are two example clients of the library. One is very simple and
-list every updated buy/sell price received from the various services.
-This code is started by running bin/btc-rates and call the client code
-in valutakrambod/client.py. The simple client look like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-import functools
-import tornado.ioloop
-import valutakrambod
-class SimpleClient(object):
- def __init__(self):
- self.services = []
- self.streams = []
- pass
- def newdata(self, service, pair, changed):
- print("%-15s %s-%s: %8.3f %8.3f" % (
- service.servicename(),
- pair[0],
- pair[1],
- service.rates[pair]['ask'],
- service.rates[pair]['bid'])
- )
- async def refresh(self, service):
- await service.fetchRates(service.wantedpairs)
- def run(self):
- self.ioloop = tornado.ioloop.IOLoop.current()
- self.services = valutakrambod.service.knownServices()
- for e in self.services:
- service = e()
- service.subscribe(self.newdata)
- stream = service.websocket()
- if stream:
- self.streams.append(stream)
- else:
- # Fetch information from non-streaming services immediately
- self.ioloop.call_later(len(self.services),
- functools.partial(self.refresh, service))
- # as well as regularly
- service.periodicUpdate(60)
- for stream in self.streams:
- stream.connect()
- try:
- self.ioloop.start()
- except KeyboardInterrupt:
- print("Interrupted by keyboard, closing all connections.")
- pass
- for stream in self.streams:
- stream.close()
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The library client loops over all known "public" services,
-initialises it, subscribes to any updates from the service, checks and
-activates websocket streaming if the service provide it, and if no
-streaming is supported, fetches information from the service and sets
-up a periodic update every 60 seconds. The output from this client
-can look like this:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote><pre>
-Bl3p BTC-EUR: 5687.110 5653.690
-Bl3p BTC-EUR: 5687.110 5653.690
-Bl3p BTC-EUR: 5687.110 5653.690
-Hitbtc BTC-USD: 6594.560 6593.690
-Hitbtc BTC-USD: 6594.560 6593.690
-Bl3p BTC-EUR: 5687.110 5653.690
-Hitbtc BTC-USD: 6594.570 6593.690
-Bitstamp EUR-USD: 1.159 1.154
-Hitbtc BTC-USD: 6594.570 6593.690
-Hitbtc BTC-USD: 6594.580 6593.690
-Hitbtc BTC-USD: 6594.580 6593.690
-Hitbtc BTC-USD: 6594.580 6593.690
-Bl3p BTC-EUR: 5687.110 5653.690
-Paymium BTC-EUR: 5680.000 5620.240
-</pre></blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The exchange order book is tracked in addition to the best buy/sell
-price, for those that need to know the details.</p>
-
-<p>The other example client is focusing on providing a curses view
-with updated buy/sell prices as soon as they are received from the
-services. This code is located in bin/btc-rates-curses and activated
-by using the '-c' argument. Without the argument the "curses" output
-is printed without using curses, which is useful for debugging. The
-curses view look like this:</p>

-<p>The code for this client is too complex for a simple blog post, so
-you will have to check out the git repository to figure out how it
-work. What I can tell is how the three last numbers on each line
-should be interpreted. The first is how many seconds ago information
-was received from the service. The second is how long ago, according
-to the service, the provided information was updated. The last is an
-estimate on how often the buy/sell values change.</p>
-
-<p>If you find this library useful, or would like to improve it, I
-would love to hear from you. Note that for some of the services I've
-implemented a trading API. It might be the topic of a future blog
-post.</p>

+ <description><p>Arbeidet med å lage et godt, fritt og åpent standardisert maskinelt
+grensesnitt for arkivering, med tilhørende fri
+programvareimplementasjon fortsetter. Jeg snakker om
+<a href="https://github.com/arkivverket/noark5-tjenestegrensesnitt-standard">Noark
+5 Tjenestegrensesnitt</a> og
+<a href="https://gitlab.com/OsloMet-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/">Nikita</a>.
+Siste nytt etter
+<a href="https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20200127-noark-seminar/">seminaret
+for noen dager siden</a>, er vi i Nikita-prosjektet har fått beskjed
+fra Arkivverket at det blir satt ned en redaksjon for å videreutvikle
+spesifikasjonen. Redaksjonen består av Mona Danielsen og Anne Sofie
+Knutsen ved arkivverket, Thomas Sødring ved OsloMet, og meg selv fra
+NUUG. De to sistenevnte tar seg av de åpenbare forbedringene, mens
+hele redaksjonen diskuterer tvilstilfeller. Jeg håper dette vil bidra
+til at vi lykkes i å gjøre denne protokollspesifikasjonen så entydig
+og klar at den vil bidra til et velfungerende marked for
+arkivsystemer, og sikre at programmer som trenger å snakke med
+arkivsystemet kan snakke med enhver implementasjon av
+API-spesifikasjonen. Nikita er den første implementasjonen, men det
+bør blir flere.</p>
+
+<p>Det gjenstår riktig nok endel før vi er i mål, selv om svært mye
+allerede er på plass. Med innspill og forslag til forbedringer fra
+alle som vil ha et leverandøruavhengig og fullstendig
+datamaskinlesbart grensesnitt til arkivet, så tror jeg vi vil
+lykkes.</p>
+
+<p>Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
+det jeg driver med, setter jeg pris på om du sender Bitcoin-donasjoner
+til min adresse
