Interesting software I can't use

By hannes @ 23:35 [ Developing Software ]
  1. Piggy-Bank, a Firefox extension «to collect and browse "semantic data" linked from ordinary web pages» looks extremely cool (screenshots), I'd want to use this.
    Doesn't work on any of the computers I have access to (wrong Java plugin, firewalls, ..).
    So please try for me and tell me about.

  2. Looks like Kaywa's visit to Orange was a successful one: Orange Switzerland is offering blogs, Kaywa 'moblogs'. Their CEO told me about it, but they Kaywa haven't announced it (?), so it looks like I had to, even though I can't use it: Now Orange GPRS in Ireland - and locked mobile hardware.
    So please try for me and tell me about.

Piggy bank works fine by me.
by the way your blog works with it.

Orange will offer kaywa moblogs, that sounds great for news like this one i sometimes wonder if i should buy a mobile phone... :)

I assume, it's the same as their standard mobile version...

If you want to see that, just download the "User Agent Switcher" for Firefox and set the User Agent to for example:

"SonyEricssonP800/R101 Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0"

And then you see it like with a P800 ;)

Yeah, sure, I know the mobile version.
I'm, just interested how they integrate with Orange, what cost model they use, etc.

Hi all,
I even come later. I already mailed Hannes the place where you can find KAYWA weblogs right now:

Orange Switzerland
------------------
1) Go to Kiosk on the Orange World
Orange World » Channels » Kiosk
2) Fun & Entertainment
3) KAYWA Weblogs

A press release about that will soon come out.

For your piggy-bank problem, please see installation instructions at:

http://simile.mit.edu/piggy-bank/install.html

There is a link for the right Java plugin for MacOS users.

Thanks for the advice, of course I do have a Java plugin installed - problem is that Firefox won't start after installing the extension, dying with a "HotSpot Virtual Machine Error".
