MMS support development to be suspended until the end of February.

Submitted by msameer on Wed, 03/02/2010 - 8:11pm

The gitorious repository now contains a broken mms-manager, a non functional mms-ui (because I changed the DBus interface ;-)), a preliminary mms viewer and a broken network connection manager. How pretty is that ? ;-)

I've been redesigning the DBus interfaces and I think I reached something. The UI can be easily adapted after that.

However, I'll be on vacation until the end of February. I can't work on mms until I'm back.

I'll try to commit and push the code I have on my laptop but the stuff will still be broken.

This is just a quick status.

Good wishes for the newly married couple ;-)

As promised yesterday, I'll start cleaning up my code a bit preparing to post it here.


Not First MMS sent via N900 (Fremantle)

I've spent the past few days trying to get MMS to work on the N900.

EDIT: Seems frals has managed to beat me!


For F***'s sake stop asking.

If you easily get offended then stop here...


Can it be any worse ?

* Broken laptop, +200 euros to replace the fan because I was dumb enough to void my 3 years warranty.
* I lost part of my tooth today while having lunch (With the filling of course) and I need to fight tomorrow at 8 AM to get urgent dental care.
* ...

After the N900 has been announced. I was saying this to a friend of mine:

[Me] so
[Me] remember our discussion about a Linux powered phone ? ;)
[Me] sorry I convinced you that Linux on phones is a no while I knew we were doing it :)


No KLM, I'm not paying money to torture myself again.

This is a copy of what I've sent to KLM customer care after my disastrous flight from Amsterdam to Cairo:

Hi,

My flight was KL0553

Booked my tickets (Summer 2009) :-)

To Cairo and beyond (-:

Too bad I'll transit for one hour in Charles De Gaulle again. I'd rather be prepared to lose my bags :-)

And did I say from 10.07.09 to 09.08.09 ?


Bye fglrx...

Submitted by msameer on Thu, 09/04/2009 - 9:59pm

Thanks to all the hard work by the fglrx packaging team, DRI, MESA, Xorg, Radeon,... etc people!

I've been using fglrx with my laptop since I've had it:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400

And to the people behind the Debian packaging..
* xserver-xorg-video-radeon from testing.
* libdrm-intel1 and libdrm2 from unstable
* libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx from experimental

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I probably lost the ability to suspend and resume but I don't usually do it with that laptop.

Now let's hope my lapop at work will be adapted easily too :)

UPDATE: Seems you lose OpenGL 2.0 if you use the free driver. If you are doing OpenGL stuff like me then you are in trouble ;-|
