Recently, I have updated my gnuvd Dutch dictionary tool. I was happy to see Debian to update their version as well with only three days! Also, some googling revealed some users in various weird places, like an S&M forum :-)
During medieval times in Gnome history (1999), I wrote TeleGNOME, to watch Dutch 'Teletekst' (videotext) pages by leaching them from some website. Now, I re-implemented the program, using pygtk, which has been a delight so far. Glade leaves something to be desired, of course. But it does the job, and it's definitely better than writing the XML by hand :-)
Here is the code (tb.py), which has everything you need. Requires Python 2.3 I think.
If you can read Dutch, there is more info on both programs in my blog.
Maybe my next project should be something with Mono; it's an interesting project, and all political considerations aside, I can't hurt to hack a little thingie in C#.
I am wondering how much work it would be to connect mutt to the the whole Evolution Data Server (EDS) infrastructure; I have that I can process mail in mutt faster than with any GUI mailer, but the EDS-stuff is pretty cool, and it would be *great* to have all my apps share the same addresslist etc.
