The Madness Subsides
I apologize for the silence of in the last few days. Things really picked up at work, to the point of insanity. Fortunately yesterday I managed to get the component I was working on out the door. Still a good amount of overtime was required by the entire team to get our part done. Hopefully…

Meet My Next Phone
I’ve been a huge fan of the Maemo system, since I got my hands on a N810. Now I can hardly wait to get my hands on an Internet tablet with phone capabilities: N900. The price is a bit prohibitive, and I have no clue when I’ll be able to get one up here in…

A Tiny Update
It is Friday. Feeling tired from the irregular sleep cycles of this past week. I didn’t move forward as fast I wanted to this week. I’ve felt distracted, tired and could not focus. Still the minutae of this week didn’t tie me down. Thanks to a friend my Polish writing improved in leaps and bounds…

Kicking Tires
This week, I’ve started working on my delayed projects again. I feel exhausted from the week. But I also can not wait to play around with my projects. Learning Qt I’ve always admired the KDE and Qt developers. They make some of the most innovative and interesting technology in the consumer-desktop-mobile land. I’ve decided to…

Enter the Grumbles
Marika likes to ramble. And I like to grumble. Not because I’m a negative or enjoy complaining. But I find a guilty pleasure of grumbling my annoyances. In fact I know I shouldn’t. But I feel like it nonetheless. Also I really am at a loss of what to write about… but grumbling… that comes…

Phoneing This One In
My recent loss of my Nokia N810 Internet Tablet has meant I need to resort to more exotic devices for offline blogging. At the moment I’m traveling on the bus (or standing at a bus stop), chilling to music and blogging/writing on my Nokia 5800 cellphone. So tapping on a touchscreen feels more etheral than…

Forced Update
Ugh… I feel so tired this early in the morning. Normally I enjoy mornings. My best thinking happens in the morning. Today I feel comatose. So Marika, if you think that you are the only one whose brain goes on vacation for the weekend… guess again. This new entry probably comes off as forced. But…

On Hacking with Maemo
Time is the ultimae in precious and scarce commodities. With work and travelling up North to kayak, I spend most of my spare time away from a workstation. Hence the convenience of owning a N810. I can code and write anywhere! Ok so I haven’t tried putting gcc or other c development tools on this…

Oops, I broke something
I broke my Internet Tablet today. Not physically. Rather I used Dolphin from KDE 4 for some file transfers yesterday. Me and my obsession running beta versions. And to add insult to injury, yanked out the cable without unmounting (safely removing) the device. Silly me. Well now the internal memory is read-only. Dmesg reports filesystem…

Football (Soccer) Madness – A Quickie Update
Ok, I’m just gonna post a quick update as part of my resolution, to post daily. I reckon that my life is not as half boring as I make it out to be… I surprised my system admin at work that my N810, is in fact a Linux device. It is true that there isn’t…
