Emesene is a platform independent MSN Messenger client written in Python+GTK and distributed under the GNU GPLv2 license. The main idea is to make a client similar to the official client but with a simpler GUI and a nice look.

I’ve created a package of the latest emesene SVN rev999 1000 for those who want it.

Introduction to Linux Device Drivers is a course that introduces the basic principles of device driver development on the Linux kernel.

This course does a pedagogical approach to the Linuxdevice driver subject, applying a systematization of concepts allied to a strong practical component in which the reader is invited to the gradual implementation of a device driver that will support a device specially conceived for this course. The reader can also consult the reference literature in which the following titles are distinguished: Linux Device Drivers, Understanding the Linux Kernel e Linux Kernel in a Nutshell.

Createad by a Artur D’Assumpção, a Portuguese developer, invested more than one year of work elaborating and preparing this course, in order to offer the community a complete learning manual.

At this point only the Portuguese version is available, but the English version should be ready by the end of the year.

Ajudar o Dicionário PT-pt

O Projecto Natura tem desenvolvido ao logo dos anos um Dicionário Português PT_pt, que é usado como corrector gramatical no OpenOffice e no Firefox (são só dois exemplos).

O que é o Projecto Natura?

O Projecto Natura investiga na área do processamento de Linguagem Natural (PLN) com especial ênfase no português. O projecto tem estado ligado às Disciplinas de Scripting, de PLN e também de FTT lecionadas pelo Departamento de Informática da Universidade do Minho.

Então já vos aconteceu escrever um texto e o corrector dizer que há palavras mal escritas apesar de estar tudo bem? O que pode estar a acontecer é o dicionário PT ainda não conter essas palavras!

E como é que podem ajudar? É Simples!

Podem fazer sugestões de palavras pelo WebJspell .

Ajudem o Projecto Natura, ganhamos todos com isso

Thunderbird and multiple signatures

I’ve been using thunderbird for almost 3 years now (I think) and I recommend it to my friends.

It works great, I can setup multiple accounts with their own folders, easy configuration and personalization,.. I just like it.

But one thing that bottered me was the lack of capability for using multiple signatures and not just one per account. So today I add a thought ” Jezzz there has to be a extension for this, this is thunderbird..” and you know what? of course there is

Its “Signature Switch“, created by Achim.

“Signature Switch” offers removal (and re-insertion) of your signature with just one click of a button and easy access fro the toolbar. Supports HTML signatures and allows some useful configurations.

Wine-Forum.org

“Today the new Wine help and discussion forum at wine-forum.org went live, the forums are meant to be a meeting place for anyone interested in Wine usage or development. In the past there there has never been a single forum dedicated just to Wine. In the past the Wine project has used mailing lists, newsgroups and other methods for user discussion leaving many postings about Wine in other forums where Wine was always relegated as a sub-forum.”

So any questions to ask? just go to wine-forum.org , register and post

In the same subject “Wine” - Wine 0.9.48 has just been released, the wine repositories should be updated soon.
