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!

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 :)


him-arabic has been uploaded to maemo extras

Yup, thanks to Matan Ziv-Av who did a few improvements and fixes and uploaded him-arabic to maemo extras.

The good part is the addition of the Hebrew keymap (And a few other things).


Katoob, the baby has a new father.

This post has a bit of my history and emotions. It can be skipped!

The summary is: Katoob has a new maintainer.

multi-gnome-terminal is back to life.

Submitted by msameer on Mon, 18/02/2008 - 1:46pm

OK. This is the beauty of FOSS. The project has been dead upstream for a while now. It survived until it was removed from lenny.

Now me and 2 other users decided to adapt it. port it or rewrite it in gtk2.

We are having a discussion about the whole situation.

To anyone still using multi-gnome-terminal: Please share with us the features you were actually using. These are the ones more likely to be implemented and no new features will probably be added, maybe help us coding and/or testing or participate in the discussions.


Automatically insert a statement in each function in C++

Submitted by msameer on Fri, 08/02/2008 - 4:16pm

And I thought I'll never do such things again ?
I wanted to insert a debugging statement at the beginning of each function.

for i in *.cc *.c; do sed -i -e 's/\([a-zA-Z0-9 _*:~]*([^).]*) *{\)/\1 \nprintf("%s\\n", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__); /g' $i; done

It can probably be used to insert anything too.

It's dirty but it worked for me. Just keep a backup or make sure the latest code is in any RCS just in case.

It only failed with a function that was commented using C++ style comments "//".
I didn't try it with class methods defined inside header files
