File I/O in widgets and the browser
Ok, so I had a somewhat mystically titled presentation at XTech, titled Going full circle: Giving Web Applications and Widgets access to device and user data. The slides are here (Should work reasonably well in Firefox, WebKit and Opera — does not work in IE. Navigate with PageUp/PageDown or the mouse wheel)
What the presentation was actually about was File I/O in the context of the browser, or more specifically, in widgets. We produced an input paper to be picked up for standardization.
Further, we will release builds on labs.opera.com shortly, so you can get to play with it shortly, and hopefully also with some example code, so you can get your heads wrapped around this.
Edit: There are now public builds for you to play with here — have fun

Håkon’s name gets borked in the slides, which are served with iso-8859-1 (maybe it’s a bug in Opera #9974 but it ignores the page’s declared meta charset). Also, there’s a strange slide 28 you got there: “522 LoC pera”?

Dante: Fixed, it was my server forcing ISO-8859-1
