moving day

Well, today was the first day of moving to the new house. Made two runs and doesn't look like we even made a dent in anything. My new truck needs a new stereo, as the commute to work is longer.

Can not wait to get the swim pool cleaned up and take a dip. and I have a larger area for all my computers. Even have room to break out music stuff! Now if I could just find the time to do things...

long weekends

Long weekends aren't what they used to be. Since having two small kids, I no longer have any real time to sit down and concentrate and really get into hacking on stuff. I have to do that at work.

At any rate. I do find some time in the mornings to do this kind of thing.

n810

just opened the nokia n810. These are my first impressions.

I have used quite a few different handheld devices. The keyboard is not as tactile and easy to type with as the zaurus keyboards. But hopefully it is just a matter of getting use to.

All I wanted to do is test the gps. I eagerly opened the box and started the process of getting a gps fix. It took quite sometime to fix 3 satellites. Longer than half an hour! Maybe it is just the satellites here in the southern hemisphere and Australia. Could have been the mall and the car as well.

--------
a few days with this now. Battery life is good. The keyboard sucks, and I keep making spelling errors because the keys are too close tgogether and fedel tghe samed.

I like tghe zaurfus keyb oard better.

GPS is gbood if you go somewhere tghat you dont know. otghedfrwise itgs just looking at big brother wathinbg where you go.

oh ya!

Andrew Morton (kernel hacker) during his keynote address at linux.conf.au 2005 said when asked what desktop he uses, "I won't use a desktop that developers are so stupid that they try to write gui code in C"

qtopia and openmoko

I finally got openmoko built on my work machine. Using Suse 10.2 and getting it building was a bit 'not just working'. Suse 10.2 not have a gcc3 compat, so I had to use one from Fedora 6. Plus, I had to patch usbdevice_fs.h so it would compile.

I also got Qtopia building in openembedded. Not only that, it gets installed! woot!

So, now I just have to add Qtopia to the openmoko build, which will be a piece of cake.

Then, the real fun stuff begins and what's left is to create an fic-gta device configration.
