It happened...
Dear Hebrew maemo users...
I'm getting a lot of questions on how to enable Hebrew under maemo. I know that the fonts have been packaged already and I guess there's also an input method. It's as easy as writing an XML file for my not so broken Hildon Arabic input method.
I just don't understand why can't they be made available publicly or made known ?
I can neither host nor support them, nothing personal. It's just that I don't know Hebrew and I can't support a language I don't know!
Please, oh pretty please with sugar on top, can someone give me a URL or at least share the information so I can at least copy and paste it as a reply to the emails I'm getting ?
hildon input method and new languages...
I noticed this because of my work on him-arabic.
If your plugin provides a language other than the 16 "known" languages, It will be displayed as " ()".
Ideally, The fix should be somewhere else but not all of the components are open so even if I can fix it, I won't be able to publish patches or packages.
It seems that the source provided with the SDK is a bit outdated so I had to grab the latest trunk: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-input-method/
And here's a patch. It'll return the language code if it fails to get the language description. (I know it's a bit hackish :|):

I hope it will be fixed otherwise I'll be providing packages soon. I know I promised to provide a lot of things (-:
Have a nice weekend.

I hate CDG Airport...
So yesterday.
* A month since I've been here in Finland and started working for Nokia
* I've got my creditcard PIN code in the morning (From the nordea bank suckers). At last they accepted my application but they decided to send the card to the wrong branch. 7 minutes on the phone to convince them to send it to another branch. It takes them also 2-3 days to send it to another branch!
* My debian.org account has been created and NOW I'm at last an official Debian Developer (Technically, this happened on the 14th. An hour ago ;-))
Of ethernet and docking stations...
When you dock the laptop into its docking station, make sure to plug the ethernet cable into the docking station rj output. NOT into the laptop. It could've saved me a lot of time today.

I've been asked this question a few months ago when I was interviewed by Google, She wanted a smart way so I told her that I can use the calculator but probably that's not the answer that you want. I decided not to answer.
