A quick apology.
Idea April 23rd, 2007Just in case anyone’s desperate for more updates, I haven’t forsaken you. Screengrab has taken my attention of late, as there’s been a few teething issues with it’s latest version. The issue was actually with me as it happens.
One of the things that I’ve been doing is retrofitting Screengrab to use my new include architecture. You could think of it as a proof of concept. It has actually worked out really really well. I’m very impressed with the way the code hangs together now. Version 0.94 will be interesting for those who like to view the source.
I’ll be picking up BookSmarts again very soon. I also have another new project on the go. It doesn’t have a real name yet (it’s working title is Transfoxite), but it is essentially going to be a website that provides a large number of reference translations extracted from Firefox extensions for the purpose of making localisation of said extensions a little easier. Things like “Save As” and “Default save location” are used over and over again in apps, so I’m hoping to make a website that will allow people to select the phrases they want and then get most of their translations done for free. I’ll be leaning pretty heavily on the work done by babelzilla.org. It’s not meant as a replacement, I would just like to be less of a burden on their over-stretched community.

How goes BookSmarts? I was checking out Screengrab tonight and the description of your BookSmarts idea sounded really great.
Does the Places stuff in Firefox 3 make this project easier?
