Once again I am addressing the ongoing conflict and problems of West Papua (take a look on other earlier blogpostings).
Taken from Sally Collisters webpage:"In December 2007 I returned to West Papua, documenting the stories of its indigenous people who have been living under a brutal Indonesian military occupation. Its tribal people are being slaughtered, and their unique environment destroyed. Due to technical problems, my photography was limited to this small set, taken at a village in the Baliem Valley.
For more information about the shocking situation in West Papua, or to donate to the Free West Papua Campaign please visit www.freewestpapua.org"
Some really wonderful photos.
Search Table of Contents for ISBN number by using the Syndetic solutions for Table of Contents. I have made a bookmarklet with the proper Syndetics search string to find TOCs for books based on ISBNs.
Regardless of the fact that Froyo 2.2 has included a function called Apps2SD it's quite a few apps that you are not able to move to your SD card because of the simple fact that the developers of the app didn't make this an option in the first place, if you are stuck on an older version of android it's not possible at all unless you have rooted your phone. Depending on your phones model the amount of internal memory storage is varying from model to model. If you have very little it's even more important to do something about the situation. One of the very best ways to free some internal memory is of course to not install a lot of applications, but if you are like me you love your applications so you will probably seek other options, the best one is to clear the cache of your applications. You could do that by going to settings and manage applications and clear cache or you could use a very good application like "Quick App Clean Cache". Some of the big cache eaters are especially the browsers like, Dolphin and Skyfire and The Android Market, but you also have other "hungry" applications eating away on your memory. Leaving the job over to a professional cache freeing app is probably the best method.
Give your android some more memory by freeing some cache!
dmoz open directory project has been mentioned on this blog before but that's probably 3-4 years ago. Since than a lot has happened. Trying to search topics like: geography under the heading science/social sciences gave 1048 links. When trying the same with anthropology under the heading science/social sciences it gave 824 links, considerably more than a few years ago.
A simple search with the broad keyword "Africa" inside ebooks only gave a nice search results list containing 2,297 hits .
2,174 hits are in the category Accessible books and 153 hits in the category protected DAISY, meaning not open readable. You will find quite some interesting titles on the list.
Give openlibrary.org a try yourself!
The Grazr service is dead. Grazr was a free RSS to widget converter that allowded you to create cool custom widgets for any RSS, RDF, ATOM or OPML feed. For all of us having used their services is their other services that could be used?
The Optimal OPML browser could be a good replacement.
Here are some examples of Widgets made by the Optimal Browser, the opml has been made and exported from the ticTocs service (RSS/OPML Journal Tables of Contents Service):
The company Deep Powder Software has created a anthropology dictionary for android phones. Only available in countries having access to the android paid app market.

A very interesting project is taking place 4,756 metres above sea level in the Peruvian Andes. Inventor Eduardo Gold is planning to splash whitewash onto loose rocks and paint a total area of 70 hectares (173 acres) on three peaks in the Andean region of Ayacucho in southern Peru. "A white surface reflects the sun's rays back through the atmosphere and into space, in doing so it cools the area around it too," explains Gold.
"In effect in creates a micro-climate, so we can say that the cold generates more cold, just as heat generates more heat."
In that way he wants to recuperate the country's melting glaciers.

SlideIT keyboard from Dasur is really excellent. Such a easy way to express yourself, not writing but sliding your words, search terms, url's etc.....SlideIT is available for Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android and iPhone.
Give it a try. A wonderful experience saving you a lot of time. I will never go back to any ordinary keyboard again on my android phone.
It's really not a problem when you have android file repositories like 4share or blackdroid allowing you to download apk files directly to your phone or PC, both free and paid apps. The only disadvantage is that you don't have the possibility to update the paid apps the way you update the free apps from the android market. Well it's not a big problem, you just visit those repositories regularly and install a newer version if it's available.
On their "development" page you could for instance find 3 different bussoracles developed for Android and iPhone, telling you when the bus is departing and arriving in the Trondheim region, you could also find a timetable generator for NTNU students.
Have you ever wanted to share your android apps (.apk files) with friends? If you use the app called OnTheFly Backup you could safely backup your apps to the SD card or backup to your PC.Share all those lovely apps is just a question of seconds, the easiest way is just to make a zipped archive and share as a single file, you have several zip readers for android able to read zipped archives.
Good luck.....

Skyfire Launches the First Flash Video Enabled Mobile Browser for Android. It's actually working quite well to watch flash videos through the Skyfire browser. The browser could be downloaded here. The only other way to get flash on your android is to sign up for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Beta and wait, according to Adobe this will happen sometime in may this year.
I have recently followed to many on Twitter. I decided to remove multiple users. Luckily I came across a very nice Greasemonkey script allowing me to remove followers not following me in a very easy way. Take a look yourself.
