To use Webster's 1913 dictionary on Android, install Colordict 3, an app that accepts this StarDict format. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.socialnmobile.colordict

Next download James's S3 archive. https://s3.amazonaws.com/jsomers/dictionary.zip

You will need to extract the .dict file from inside three containers - .dz, .tar, .bz2 from innermost to outermost. 7zip handles all of these formats.

Place the .dict, .idx and .ifo files in the dictdata directory on your sdcard or local storage root. This is where colordict looks for dictionaries.

When the files are in the right place, you can run Colordict and tap the folder icon in the top right to see the dictionaries installed and set the dictionary priority. I put the 1913 dictionary above the defaults "Wordnet" and "Wikipedia." When you look up a word, ColorDict shows the definition, if available, from these multiple sources.

Flashing Flame Devices with Firefox OS

If you have a Flame reference device and wanna try out alternate versions of Firefox OS apart from the stock one, but not willing to build from source, then follow this mini-manual.

Get the build

You can download the packages from the Nightly Build directories of Mozilla FTP. You specifically need the following two files:

b2g-XX.0a1.en-US.android-arm.tar.gz (XX is the version number)
gaia.zip

Zero knowledge databases

The idea

The idea is to provide a database as a service to end users in such a way that no one except the user herself can access the data, not even the hosting provider or the database administrator.

Advantages

A privacy- and/or security-conscious user will have more trust in such a setup.
The service provider cannot be coerced to release the data they were trusted with, and he cannot be held responsible for the content he is storing.
