"ThinkUp captures your posts, replies, retweets, friends, followers, and links on social networks like Twitter and Facebook." Like TweetNest, but more social? Also: built on PHP/MySQL, like TweetNest, unlike Diaspora.

Looks like I'm going to have to break out Xcode to get GreaseKit (and hence a bunch of little Flickr userscripts) back. Ho hum.

"Meggy Jr RGB is a new kit that we designed as a platform to develop handheld pixel games. It's based around a fully addressable 8x8 RGB LED matrix display, and features six big fat buttons for comfy game play." Looks a bit like a baby Tenori-On, and at a baby price, too: $75 (vs £700-odd for the Tenori-On). Of course, it's a very different beast, but still, impressive.

"I set up a google code project, checked in the 'Email' app's original source code and started in with a regex-shaped chainsaw. When I was done K-9 was born." Yes, a fork of the original Android email app, on their app store. I shouldn't need to mention MailWrangler now, right?

Stephen Fry continues to cement his reputation as Britain's favourite technologically-inclined national treasure with this video wishing GNU a happy birthday. (Is it ironic, then, that you can see a MacBook Air in the background?)

If you can't get at sproutcore.com (and I've found it down all day), then this lets you get the code from github and shows you what the team have been hacking on.

You wait ages for an Objective-C like platform to come along for building rich internet applications, and then two come along at once. (Page loading very slowly, or not at all, since it's getting a lot of attention.)

You wait ages for an Objective-C like platform to come along for building rich internet applications, and then two come along at once. This one's not released yet, but everyone's seen 280 Slides, which it sits beneath.

The Ordnance Survey seems to have finally realised that they really should be opening up their data, even if it's not very far, with a mapping API. Alpha, but it looks like keys are available.

Huh, the groupr dev branch had a function like this, except it handled months too. I wish I'd hived it off into a library now.

The best talk at yesterday's Google Open Source Jam was this web testing framework that hooks into your browser and automates it.

Interesting dissection of a curious reading of Netcraft's server type data for this month. The really scary thing for me is that, if you believe Netcraft, Google run 5% of all web servers.

Might be nice to compare with Zimki.

"Richard Hipp's database is used by some of the biggest names in IT - but he has not made a penny from it" SQLite isn't merely open source, it's public domain. Half of the 250KB limit is tests. It beats SQL Server in some scenarios. A good article.

Tom on the latest Python-DAAP release. Includes a useful history of authentication (Wikipedia used to not know about the 4.2/4.5 releases, for example) and also ponders DAAP as a de-facto open source standard.

"Correo blends technology from two popular Mozilla projects, Camino and Thunderbird, to create a polished native Macintosh application" 0.1 out now. Not for me; I'm still fond of Eudora's UI

Proper maths in Keynote. Shame about the metal window, but I can fix that.

Could come in handy. Bit late, mind.

I tried this, and also found it (very) wanting. Still, an interesting idea, and hopefully it'll get a bit mature.

A new mail client (and perhaps more importantly IMAP library) for Mac OS X. I've mentioned it before but I forgot where it was.

Fairly obvious really, but he articulates the business reasons well. For example: "[Bray] overlooks another form of competition: existing versions of Mac OS X"

Could be useful
