My current startup I’ve been working for the last months is still in stealth. But the name is revealed and a website is released where you can register for updates.

I hope I can get some more information out soon.

For a damn long time, BezelHUD, the Quicksilver interface plugin, was only compatible for the standart version of QS. Thanks to the rise of Snow Leopard, people got interested in more compatibility.

The awesome Ben Cochran took the time to make BezelHUD super compatible not only with Snow Leopard but also with Quicksilver b56a7 (the newest) from http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/downloads/list

You can download the good old super new BezelHUD here: http://code.bencochran.com/bezelhud/

With the new version of OSX 10.6 the traditional version of Quicksilver from http://getqs.com becomes incompatible, especially my Interface Plugin BezelHUD.

I personally discontinued using QS in favor of the awesome Launchbar. There will be no update on BezelHUD from me.

Still I would love to see any developer hacking on BezelHUD to make it compatible again. Therefore the source is available at http://github.com/julius/bezelhud. Also my other interfaces Showcase and Silverflow are open sourced on my github-account.

UPDATE: Solution for BezelHUD

If anyone succeeds, please let me know.

UPDATE: English article about the censorship.
Post about stopping internet censorship plans of german politicians.


UPDATE: Das Gesetz wurde leider beschlossen.
Der Blog Netzpolitik.org hat eine super Aktion mit dem Ziel die CDU-Zensurplaene zu stoppen. Jeden Tag gibt es die Kontaktdaten eines anderen SPD-Politikers im Bundestag. Jeder einzelne Deutsche kann also aktiv werden indem er an den klaren Menschenverstand der SPD appelliert.
Politiker beschliessen Gesetze nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen. Es liegt in diesem Fall leider einzig und allein bei uns für ein umfassendes Wissen bei den Menschen zu sorgen, die als letzte Front noch gegen die CDU aufstehen können und unsere Freiheit schützen werden.


Der Blogpost verweisst auf mehrere Quellen mit Wissen zum Thema Internetzensur. Natürlich ist auch die Verbreitung der Aktion über Twitter, Facebook, StudiVZ, den eigenen Blog, Email, ICQ, MSN, mündliche Weitergabe usw. eine riesige Hilfe.

Presentation today at Ruby User Group Karlsruhe about Red.
Red lets you develop javascript code with ruby.
The “slides”: http://prezi.com/90854/view
To get started with Red, I put together an archive with all you need to play around: ruby_red.zip
It contains my current fork of red, my red_query framework and example files plus a Rakefile for compilation.

Also checkout github.com/julius.

Just opened up our unstable development version of keyboardr for the public.
keyboardr.com/nightly

It has many improvements, like browser-search-box integration. Some new features, like language customization (just type “settings”). And a new search engine: Twitter.

We open up the /nightly to preview where the developement process is heading. But this version will be recreated from scratch. We are changing the underlying technology. In the future we will use the great power of Ruby Red. Which is basically a Ruby-to-Javascript compiler.

We will actively help to mature the Ruby Red project, which already shows great potential for its young age. Checkout my fork github.com/julius/red, and my framework red_query, which basically is a wrapper for jQuery plus some important stuff like JSON support: github.com/julius/red_query.
