Category: ElmDentica

ElmDentica was an Identi.ca and Twitter client for OpenMoko I used to write. Then came the advent of the inherently insecure oauth protocol, then Identi.ca sort of blew itself up, not before my own OpenMoko sort of did, so it’s completely retired now. Probably not even available in the Enlightenment repos anymore.

So elmdentica works with https!

It seems the problem with those weird libcurl errors when you enabled the secure option (basically https) is that the ca certificate bundle is missing in SHR’s OE build (perhaps it’s on all OE builds, don’t know).

There is, fortunately, an easy way to fix it (as mentioned in the openmoko communiy list).

All you need to do is copy your own ca certificate bundle (in Fedora it’s /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt ) into the proper place for OE’s path: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

So now you can enable secure, rather than faster 🙂

Hi,

I’ve just release ElmDentica 0.8.0 with a bit more polished screens and exciting new features:

  • you can have more than one account, and if you have many accounts, only a few of them enabled or disabled quickly.
  • you have a messages and posts cache (albeit the last one is still incomplete)

So there you go, download if you’re too impatient to wait for SHR-unstable to update 🙂

Hi everyone! ElmDentica hasn’t had a new release for a while (*cough*cough* proving it works so well *cough*cough*), so I though I should share with you the new stuff in the development of this release.

The news are:

  • Replacement of the side buttons by hover’s fired up by pressing for about 1s over the bubble
  • Usage of inwins for entering user and domain data in the settings window
  • Usage of hoversel to gain a few more space on the toolbar, specially for future features

So that’s about it… you can get the package from the usual places, the project’s web-site, by upgrading shr-unstable as it upgrades elmdentica on next autobuild, building it yourself, etc…

Elmdentica release 0.6.0

ElmDentica (the Tuga release), is now translatable and the first included localization is Portuguese (hence Tuga) 🙂

It will also now launch a browser if you confirm after pressing on a link. Right now, the following browser choice is made:

  1. this version of woosh (sig), which I hacked to load urls passed with the -u flag
  2. or midori
  3. or dillo
  4. or xdg-open

Download and enjoy:

Elmdentica release 0.5.1

Fixed some bugs, added a domain editor so you can add your own Laconi.ca installations or other µ-blog sites with a twitter like API, and now supports links in status messages (but does nothing at all with them, yet, my favorite browser, woosh, doesn’t get URLs from command line, I wonder if it has a way to do it).

Have fun!

Elmdentica release 0.3.0

Elmdentica is getting better all the time 🙂

  1. the toolbar is no longer out of the screen
  2. the timeline now displays (cacheable) icons in the nice bubbles
  3. libcurl is being called with object reuse, which optimizes downloads a bit

So here’s the complementary screenshot, followed by the download links:
