GMail VideoChat - the good, the bad and the ugly

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Yesterday Google began rolling out video support for GMail. The support is in form of a browser plugin, which is currently available for Mac and Windows platform. While it's nice that GMail gets audio and video capabilities, having to download and install plugin voids the webapp benefts (available anywhere), and raises ...

Telepathy slides from DORS/CLUC ‘08

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

A few days ago (actually two weeks ago, but those were pretty hectic weeks) I attended Croatian Linux User's Conference [DORS/CLUC'08], and gave a presentation about Telepathy there. Although the slides are in Croatian [well, a few words, anyways, because I didn't force translations for untranslatable terms], there were some english-speaking ...

Telepathy has been quite stable and usable for some time now, but since it's really a backend service, it wasn't very ...

An introduction to Telepathy internals

Friday, June 1st, 2007

A few days back there was some discussion in #telepathy on freenode, in which daf basically gave an introduction to the Telepathy architecture from the practical, how-to side. Since we could always use more docs, I copy-pasted it to the Telepathy wiki pages. I did only minor edits, so it's still ...

Hello world

Monday, March 26th, 2007

Sometimes I think I have something to say that would be of interest to non-Croatian readers also, but don't want to have two blogs (I'm irregular blogger as it is), so today I'm opening a new category on this blog, for posts written in English. So, Hello world!
