GTalk Emoticons - Initial Release

Announcing the initial release of the GTalk Emoticons Firefox Extension. It adds support for nearly all MSN and Yahoo Messenger emoticons to in-browser GTalk.

Note: This doesn't affect the standalone Windows client in any way.

Initial Release - WikiFeeds Extension

The WikiFeeds Extension is now available for download. Check it out! Suitable for making a MediaWiki Blog (like the one you're reading now).

WikiBlog via WikiFeeds

Sorry for the delay - but I made some progress late this evening. I Just finished the alpha version of my WikiFeeds Extension. You'll notice the rss and atom links in the Toolbox.

Also, if your browser supports auto-detection of feeds, you should find both available.

I'll post details soon to invite beta testers, as well as this BlogLike skin that I made (now tweaked to look good in IE6 and IE7).

Still haven't made progress on the permissions yet, will get to it eventually.

Migration Progress

http://jimbojw.com/wiki/index.php?title=Blog#Migration_Progress I've migrated a number of articles from my old blogger.com blog. Here are some links:

• Oracle Application Server 10g Clustering
• Injecting Scriptaculous via Greasemonkey
• NPP vs Textpad
• Tamper Data
• IBM Page Detailer

Site Alive!

This site's alive! Finally finished my MW skin, now on to migrating old content and making new articles. Here's a rough TODO list:

1. Configure (help, policies, notices, etc)
2. Migrate old content from my old blog (Calamari Dynasty).
3. Resolve permission bugs so users can make/edit talk pages.
4. Clean up CSS to look good in IE 6 and 7.
5. Develop a page-to-feed converter.
6. Add "add this to feed of choice" links to sidebar.
7. Content!

So, as you can see, there are still a number of things I need to do to get this site ready for prime time. Of course, this being my site, I'll update this page as I make progress.
