Ah ha, great stuff – just what I need to setup MythTV. A happy MythTV user shows the way where he walks people through his trials and tribulations in getting MythTV up and running in his entertainment setup.
Sony Ericsson still doing the do
Even though I now own a SPV2, I still have alot of respect for SonyEricsson. They are doing some pretty clever things with there phones now. Nokia on the other hand have gone nuts! But yeah the Sony style has really helped Ericsson. Hey and lets not forget the SonyEricsson Z1010 is still the most wanted 3g phone to date. But anyway I saw this link to the new SonyEricsson phones on mobile tracker. Anyway these new phones fit perfectly as SonyEricsson being the camera company…
Blissed and blojsim
Ah ha, I knew I was right, blojsim is broken in Blojsom 2.xx. I tried and tried to get it working a while back for myself and my students. So I'm also assuming that pop2blog is also broken too?
Anyway, I'm holding my breath for blissim?
Is your mobile data open?
Why Run Free Software on a PDA? is causing ripples on Slashdot at the moment.
Its one of those things I've always thought about even in the days of my first palmtop the HP200LX. It ran DOS, so it was easy to get data on and off it. Most of the Applications were standard based, so the text editor supported rtf and txt formats. Even the accounting package was in quicken format. Things havent changed much since using Windows CE2 right up to PocketPC 2003. Plus all the palmtops I've owned contained standard storage solutions, so its always been a matter of taking out a FAT formatted PCMCIA, Compact Flash or SD card. However I know people using Palms have not had such a easy time. I havent had such a good time with my phones up untill right now. The SPV2 Smartphone actually allows me do what the heck I like to it. Even store things it doesnt understand. However I do take the point of the post because honestly I would use Opie or some other GNU OS if it took advantage of the hardware built into the device. When I last used Opie it never had bluetooth and wireless was hit and miss. I would miss somethings like activesync but honestly my calendar and stuff are going Open or GNU too. And that goes double for my smartphone, Smartphone 2003 is ok, but it needs bits done here and there.
Cant wait to see TabletPC drivers for Linux some time soon…Specially if they support InkML.
I have to give some kudos to some of the replys on slashdot.

Blue friend of a friend
Found this on Edd Dumbill's blog, sounded not only interesting but actually useful. May consider buying his book if its things like BlueFOAF, will have to look out for packages so I can also use the Bluetooth enabled GNOME.
Can wait to try out these things with my newly installed GNU/Linux. Yes thats right I did finally install Linux on my spare box without anyones help. Got GNOME and KDE installed plus loads of default packages which I dont need but then again its all there for future use.
Missing somethings on xml.com
Seem to be missing out on somethings recently…
Multimodal Interaction on the Web, an introduction to Friend of a friend vocabulary and XML 2003 diary. Got some reading to do…
Matroska Video File
One of my friends gave a *.MKV file, and I had no idea what on earth it was till now. It really does look quite interesting as its a direct rivial to Mov, Rm, Ogg and Avi, so it can contain xvid, divx and what ever codec you like. It was also built out of the really nice EBML open standard The filter is available here or better still here and its GNU. Nice…
OQO coming on nicely
Creativity in constrains
The moto which I subscribe to.
The interesting thing is that this guy also quotes the 5K awards as a real example of Creativity in constraints
. I also saw Stuart's presentation at the Doors 6 and actually met him afterwards.
More digital shoplifting of sorts
I almost went online there and then to check if Amazon had the book cheaper than the WHSmiths in Gatwick Airport. So tempted to buy it at 16 pounds, good thing i never…as I would have been kicking myself now.
