I’ve been thinking about this idea for Welsh learners and I can’t get it out of my head. What if there were a way to fire up Skype now and have a spoken conversation in Welsh with somebody? At the moment you could fire up Skype for a chat (substitute Google+ Hangouts for Skype if [...]
Dyma dudalen enwog o Sideburns fanzine, mis Rhagfyr 1976. Wnaeth pobol ddim yn gallu ffeindio cyfryngau gyda diddordebau eu hun. Felly dechreuon nhw gylchgronau eu hun gyda llungopiwyr.

This is about my “New Year’s Resolutions” for the web, particularly the Welsh language web. Maybe other people can write theirs and we can have a fun discussion. Mae wythnos olaf y flwyddyn yn doniol. Dw i’n siarad am yr wythnos rhwng Dydd Nadolig a blwyddyn newydd. Mae digon o amser i sgwennu cofnodion blog. [...]
Hacio’r Iaith is a new and exciting event where we will explore how technology applies to, around and through the Welsh language. That means idea sharing, APIs, mash-ups, localisation, machine translation and so on. The event will be part hack day and part BarCamp (both are well established templates for events worldwide). There will be [...]
