+ <description><p>The first book I published,
+<a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/">Free Culture by Lawrence
+Lessig</a>, is still selling a few copies. Not a lot, but enough to
+have contributed slightly over $500 to the <a
+href="https://creativecommons.org/">Creative Commons Corporation</a>
+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 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">Github</a>.</p>

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

- <title>Websocket from Kraken in Valutakrambod</title>

- <description><p>Yesterday, the Kraken virtual currency exchange announced
-<a href="https://blog.kraken.com/post/2019/websockets-public-api-launching-soon/">their
-Websocket service</a>, providing a stream of exchange updates to its
-clients. Getting updated rates quickly is a good idea, so I used
-their <a href="https://www.kraken.com/en-us/help/websocket-api">API
-documentation</a> 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.</p>
-
-<p>If this sound interesting to you, the code for valutakrambod is
-available from
-<a href="http://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/valutakrambod">github</a>.
-Here is example output from the example client displaying rates in a
-curses view:</p>

-<p>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.</p>
