New release of elmdentica, major advance! 0.5.0 adds multiple account support, even though only one active at each moment.
Hi! A release a day! 0.4.0 doesn’t add THAT much, unless you like to, you know… repeat (or retweet) what other say and reply to others, or maybe proudly show you’re using Elmdentica!
Oh… and a counter (but it lets you type more than 140… just warns…)
Elmdentica is getting better all the time
So here’s the complementary screenshot, followed by the download links:
Wow, again you say? Well, early stages of development are like that
Its starting to shape up a little better (even if still a bit too memory hungry - 15% WTF). As usual, available at Elmdentica’s google code page, or the links below:
Hi, this new version is a bit more usable (although it clearly lacks features and has bugs-a-plenty), enjoy!
Hi, I’m slowly starting to get a better hold on Elementary, once I fix the obvious problem in the screenshot below, I hope to release 0.1.0 tomorrow:

elmdentica now has a nice scrolling friends timeline...
Hi, by popular request, here’s a screenshot of elmdentica in action. Yes, it’s not pretty, I know… as I learn Elementary (or people make patches) it’ll get improved…

0.0.2 in action...
Ok, a new quick release of elmdentica. Biggest changes are some steps towards a better timeline display, and support for identi.ca errors (as wrong user or password data, for instance).
Get it here while it’s hot (and unusable)
As some of you may know, I’m writing an identi.ca client with Elementary for the OpenMoko. This, is it’s first release. It’s almost totally unusable, right now, in great part due to a documentation that could be better (I’m looking at you, Elementary…), but you can already get a gist of what is can do.
Anyway, in the interest of release early, release often, here’s a first working release, 0.0.1:
I won’t hope you enjoy because it’s really crappy, now, but it loads in a jiffy
Om2009’s telephony application is Paroli, and it uses it’s own contacts database. Ingvaldur Sigurjonsson made a script to import VCF contacts but it wouldn’t work on most of my contacts, which were imported via Bluetooth about two years ago.
Since some had CRLF and others had LF as line terminators (ok, some VCF contacts were hand-made, as it’s a very nice contacts backup format which you can grep, etc…), I hacked the script to handle both cases, but mostly, to handle the case when the phone_info list had only one element, which the script wouldn’t take in account resuling in about 150 contacts lost from 270.
It also doesn’t take in account PREFerred phone numbers, so I removed then with the following command:
sed -i -e 's,;PREF,,' *.vcf
As it is likely helpful to others, here it is under a title which will surely be picked up by search engines for this issue: vcf2paroli
Do you enjoy the results?
There two things I didn’t like:
