Free software on different platforms

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

J5’s post about how Gnome is about the people and their ideas made me again think about the same thing I’ve been pondering lately.
Free software is being used on new platforms: handheld tablets and other embedded systems etc.. Many times this requires a rewrite of at least the user interface parts, because a desktop is […]

Eating the Sardine

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

On a more positive tone, we’re trying to get a apt-get update’able bleeding edge Maemo build out for developers, to get new development faster out for the application writers and other interested geeks. It’s called Sardine, and it’s hot!
Check it out!
Check out the wiki also!
See my shiny, grouping application switcher toolbar!

Oh! […]

Things to avoid when integrating Linux with hardware

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

We got the Samsung ultra-mobile PC (the “origami” device I think?) to play with at the office, and I thought of sharing my experience with you. Maybe this will help us, Novell, Ubuntu or someone else who might be thinking of bundling Linux with laptops or other hardware in the future.. But let’s move on. […]

Free web services

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Luis, I agree with you - we need to have free alternatives too. But the small, open web service lacks one important aspect - the other people you know and love. I think the reason most people are excited about Flickr, for example, is because it is of course easy to use, but also that […]

Maybe some of you Nokia 770 users will enjoy this very summer themed wallpaper I did - I shot it this morning when fetching the dogs back from my mom’s place (they were having a vacation there during GUADEC).
The wallpaper should work nicely with the new OS2006 upgrade that was recently released.

Second try…

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

After being delayed in Barcelona for an extra day, due to a late flight that was sure to miss a connection, we are now sitting in this A320 and wondering if this is late too. But at least we hopefull move forward..

First to Frankfurt.. wish us luck.
Update: Woo hoo!

Sitting in the […]

Testing..

Lets see whether this plugin works any better for geotagging..
Also, this was interesting.
Now we also need a way for the blog to remember my location, so I dont have to specify it for every post separately. Ideally of course, my desktop would update it through a xmlrpc api..

Wordpress and Geotagging

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

I found a Wordpress plugin that does geotagging of posts. I need to see how well it works and whether it tags the RSS feed with location as well. And whether there is an xmlrpc interface to set the location and whether it is possible to do it via the blog api - then my […]

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

So in my mad blogging spree, i started to add some photos to the GUADEC Flickr group. Check it out, it has quite a bit of content already. And also, add your pics too, and comment away
