Netvibes, in Norwegian

I like Netvibes as a personal startpage in my favourite browser. Along with several other users of Netvibes I have tried to contribute in the translation and localization of the interface. As of yesterday, Netvibes is now available with norwegian content, including fully translated interface and a pretty decent RSS-feed directory.

Norwegian translation of Gmail has been launched!

Finally, I might add.

Yesterday, friday the 29th of september, I got a mail telling me the norwegian translation was available.

I last checked the languageoptions the week before, so I'm not sure when exactly they release the translation. Regardless, this is great news and being the creator of the "Gmail in norwegian"-petition the satisfaction was enhanced even more. I would like to thank Google for finally letting us norwegians use Gmail in our own language. It lowers the threshold for many of the people who want to use Gmail but do not read and understand english as good as ... me (?). ;-)

Google for my domain

I have moved my mailservice to Google, and for you norwegian audience here is a brief memo of my experience so far. For the rest of you I can just let you all know, I simply love it (part of the conclusion in that norwegian memo).

Windows Live Writer and Blogspot

This definately seems to work. I'm not the most active blogger, but using a Wysiwyg-tool like Windows Live Writer to edit my blog from Blogspot seems like a good choice to me. Unfortunately the preview couldn't download the template so I could see exactly how the complete layout would look, but that's probably just because I've done some customizations to it. The application is quick, small and has a great userinterface. Good job, MS!

Here's a screenshot:

Firefox 200 mill dl = Wheee!

I guess it had to happen. Firefox has eventually been downloaded more than 200 million times. Congratz!
