LibPNG with apng support for slackware 13 x64

Posted on Monday, 19th October, 2009 | Leave a comment

If you are trying to compile mozilla firefox and get the error “apng not supported”, you need to get the apng patch from here and apply it, or better still, do a removepkg on the existing libpng and install a patched libpng which can be found here. Please note that the libpng library is under the libpng license, and not the gnu gpl, and hence the source can be found at http://www.libpng.org/.

Mozilla has just released weave 0.3, a tool to have the same browsing experience irrespective of the device you are using, whether its a cell phone, laptop or desktop. It syncs your bookmarks, passwords, browsing sessions, preferences, history, os.

Cool idea which has come bit late, but it has :)

Mozilla Bespin : a web based text editor

Posted on Saturday, 14th February, 2009 | Leave a comment

Right from the mozilla labs website : Bespin is a Mozilla Labs experiment that proposes an open, extensible web-based framework for code editing that aims to increase developer productivity, enable compelling user experiences, and promote the use of open standards.

So well this could make it easier for progg’ers to carry around a thinclient and code at any location. Just hit the url in the browser and start coding. :) Of course, you could just run a virtual desktop, but bespin tends to be different. See the video for more.
