Various projects. Some for my studies, other for the joy of it.

Icelandic Virtual Keyboard for Meego Harmattan

Submitted by andri on

Coming from a nation of 300.000 people has its downsides, like lack of keyboard support on various platforms. So, when I got my awesome Nokia N9, I wasn't all that surprised that there was no text input option for "Íslenska" or Icelandic. Fortunately, The Nokia N9 is mostly open source and the on screen keyboard uses Maliit. For those who like custom keyboards, they can check out MesInput.

I have created a virtual keyboard file for Icelandic and contributed it to the MesInput project (awaiting confirmation).

Until then, you can download the file from here:

Then place it into:

/home/user/.config/meego-keyboard/layouts

The file can be uploaded through the SDK (sftp/ssh) or through USB mass storage (untested).

2D Game Map in Canvas

Submitted by andri on

This project is discontinued. The latest version went down with the two hard disks that failed :(

For the last couple of weeks I've been playing around with HTML5 or more specifically, the canvas element. Coupled with jQuery and some basic Javascript I've created a 2 dimensional game map for a strategy board game (like Travian). Should work in most 2D browser game worlds as long as the coordinates are two dimensional.

Logo creation, the (extremely) geeky way!

Submitted by andri on

Recently, me and my excellent group have been working on our semester report and we're currently down to the tiny details and hopefully we'll soon be ready to print. What has annoyed me for a while is the quality of the logo that the university hands out to its students. The only logo that has any actual colors is a JPG version that doesn't scale (or print) very well. There is also a Postscript version, but that only has one color.

I've been creating various graphics with PGF/TikZ (other examples) and LaTeX during the semester so why not use this to create the logo as well?

Eggdrop: Nosense script

Submitted by andri on

Between 1997 and 2005 I spent a lot of time on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) as Merlin@IRCnet. During that time I ended up managing a few channels with a bunch of young people in them.

What started to annoy me were certain patterns of people that joined, just to annoy other people. So I decided to create a system to automatically punish those people, but also a system that wouldn't punish actual conversations.

It makes heavy use of regular expressions and is written in TCL.

Recently I came across a version of my script online, so I decided to post it here for safe-keeping.

An unfinished next-gen. version called justice.tcl is also available.
