More sales number for my Free Culture paper editions (2019-edition)
+
11th June 2019
+

The first book I published, +Free Culture by Lawrence +Lessig, is still selling a few copies. Not a lot, but enough to +have contributed slightly over $500 to the Creative Commons Corporation +so far. Most books are still sold via Amazon (83), with Ingram second +(49) and Lulu (12) and Machette (7) as minor channels. Bying directly +from Lulu bring the largest cut to Creative Commons. The English +Edition sold 80 copies so far, the French 59 copies, and Norwegian +only 8 copies. Nothing impressive, but nice to see the work we put +down is still being appreciated. The ebook edition is available for +free from Github.

It is fun to see the French edition being more popular than the +English one.

If you would like to translate and publish the book in your native +language, I would be happy to help make it happen. Please get in +touch.

Official MIME type "text/vnd.sosi" for SOSI map data
+
4th June 2019
+

Just 15 days ago, +I +mentioned my submission to IANA to register an official MIME type +for the SOSI vector map format. This morning, just an hour ago, I was +notified that +the +MIME type "text/vnd.sosi" is registered for this format. In +addition to this registration, my +file(1) +patch for a pattern matching rule for SOSI files has been accepted +into the official source of that program (pending a new release), and +I've been told by the team behind +PRONOM that +the SOSI format will be included in the next release of PRONOM, which +they plan to release this summer around July.

+ +

I am very happy to see all of this fall into place, for use by +the +Noark 5 Tjenestegrensesnitt implementations.

Websocket from Kraken in Valutakrambod
-
1st February 2019
-

Yesterday, the Kraken virtual currency exchange announced -their -Websocket service, providing a stream of exchange updates to its -clients. Getting updated rates quickly is a good idea, so I used -their API -documentation and added Websocket support to the Kraken service in -Valutakrambod today. The python library can now get updates -from Kraken several times per second, instead of every time the -information is polled from the REST API.

- -

If this sound interesting to you, the code for valutakrambod is -available from -github. -Here is example output from the example client displaying rates in a -curses view:

Yes, I notice the strange negative spread on Hitbtc. I've seen the -same on Kraken. Another strange observation is that Kraken some times -announce trade orders a fraction of a second in the future. I really -wonder what is going on there.

Strategispillet Unknown Horizons nå tilgjengelig på bokmål
-
23rd January 2019
-

I høst ble jeg inspirert til å bidra til oversettelsen av -strategispillet Unknown -Horizons, og oversatte de nesten 200 strengene i prosjektet til -bokmål. Deretter har jeg gått å ventet på at det kom en ny utgave som -inneholdt disse oversettelsene. Nå er endelig ventetiden over. Den -nye versjonen kom på nyåret, og ble -lastet opp i -Debian for noen få dager siden. I går kveld fikk jeg testet det ut, og -må innrømme at oversettelsene fungerer fint. Fant noen få tekster som -måtte justeres, men ikke noe alvorlig. Har oppdatert -oversettelsen på -Weblate, slik at neste utgave vil være enda bedre. :)

- -

Spillet er et ressursstyringsspill ala Civilization, og er morsomt -Ã¥ spille for oss som liker slikt. :)
