    New @Vivaldi on Android as arrived!This one has a much requested feature: custom search engines. This is something we have had on desktop, but it has finally arrived on mobile as well.What is unique here is that you can take most any search and just long click in the search field and add it from the contextual menu. Think about the specialized searches you do and how convenient this can be for you!Here is a pro tip for you. For some advanced searches, with multiple elements, you can fill out some of the fields and then add the search. This saves the custom search with those fields pre-filled.https://vivaldi.com/press/releases/vivaldi-7-7-for-mobile/#Vivaldi #Browser #Android #Internet #Technology

    @ajsadauskas @luca Here's a good article on Hartley Computer: https://ia.acs.org.au/article/2017/acs-heritage-project--chapter-34.html"David Hartley (not to be confused with the British computer scientist of the same name) started his working life in 1966 as a civil engineer with Brisbane City Council. His work later took him to Namibia in southern Africa, where he was introduced to computing while conducting mathematical modelling of rainfall in the vast Okavango river basin, using FORTRAN on an ICT 1500."When he returned to Australia he decided that computing was more interesting than civil engineering. He started Hartley Computer in Brisbane in 1974 to develop software for the accounting profession, on the rationale that accounting could be easily computerised but that many in the profession did not realise that...."The new software was very successful – it was the only software in Australia designed specifically for small accounting practices. Hartley also designed SHEILA (System by Hartley for Entirely Integrated Ledger Accounting) for larger organisations. The venture included building hardware (the Hartley 3900) and an operating system. Both the hardware and the software were very innovative....“The operating system was called RT86, a ‘true pre-emptive multi-user multi-tasking operating system for the 8086 chip. It was launched in 1980, 15 years before Windows PCs had that capability.“Hartley Computer was one of the first mini/PC computer vertical market successes in the world, with ultimately 250 staff and 3,000 sites in seven countries. In the process I became known as ‘the father of computer client accounting’, and we won several awards. The success was killed by hubris and a messy divorce. Big lessons, only partly learned at the time.”

    Fosstodon, I summon thee!I've set up Miniflux, and I need some good, reliable RSS feeds for FOSS news, technology in general, cybersecurity and gaming.And I don't want feeds that puke out a hundred posts a day, just to put SOMETHING out there. A single, meaningful and entertainig post a day or even every couple of days is completly acceptable, and even preferred.@mike can you recommend something good?#rss #news #feeds #fosstodon #help #foss #opensource #technology #gaming #cybersecurity
