ThePirateBay

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

As a result of the danish internet providers DNS blocking www.thepiratebay.org and that the my freedom of speach in general is threadened, I will now stop buying any kind of my music (~150 kr / month) and going to the cinema (~300 kr / month) in protest.

I always beleived to sponsor the music and movies by buying music and going to the cinema – but this has to stop. Private companies think they have become the police, because they have briped the police, has big lobby organisations and have bought expensive layers.

Even though it isnt that much money I use, I will begin to donate this to torrent-sites like www.thepiratebay.org instead.

knjInterface

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

When I switched to Debian some time ago on the OpenMoko, I decided to program my own small interface for opening applications and doing basic stuff on it.

As of tonight, it can actually receive calls as well by listening to and sending dbus-events. If will, of course, also make some software to make calls and to handle SMS.

I will post some screenshots at the wiki, if anyone is interested. The page is located on this url:

knjMokoEmail

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I just finished the first version of knjMokoEmail, which is, as the name suggests, an application for accessing email-accounts from the OpenMoko.

Currently it only works on OpenMoko Debian, because I have not been able to compile PHP5-IMAP for OM2008 or SHR (I have really tried though).

The application is currently able to sync emails down to a SQLite3-database, search for emails, show the latest emails and of course read emails.

It is possible to set up multiple accounts with IMAP, IMAP-SSL, POP3 and POP3-SSL.

Trying out Debian for the OpenMoko again

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

While I have been playing with my OpenMoko, I have spent so many ours trying to compile or cross-compile stuff for the OpenMoko… Time I would much rather spent coding stuff.

Today I decided to try out Debian again. I dont really like Zhone (crashes, windows overlaps each other – just annoying), so I decided to quickly code my own very simple and kind of ugly interface-application.

After using some hours on it, I am very produ of the result. It cant read and sort all applications under “/usr/share/applications” and start them if choosen. I even got it to start with X.

I set up a small OpenMoko Debian repo, where the application will be available for anyone interessted soon.

Also, the third OpenMoko phone has been discontinued! Wtf? This is just another reason why not to use to official OpenMoko software. If they stop their future development, I can always port my work to another phone running Debian – like HTC Dream or HTC Magic.
