libgphoto2 based FUSE filesystem

I finally caved in and bought myself a digital camera, which happens to be a Canon Ixus 55. It’s all nice and shiny but it doesn’t support the USB Mass Storage class, which means I need to use libgphoto2 based tools to interact with it. So…

VMware and the 770

As Christian points out, the final 1.0 release of the VMware Player went out last week. His blog gives a good description of it, so I won’t repeat all that here.

GWeather-maemo 0.1

Another day, another update. And today there’s a new release as well.

More GWeather on 770 progress

Today, I contined my porting of GWeather to Maemo. I don’t have a happy bundled package to throw up right now, but I’m happy with today’s progress.

GWeather for the 770!

So, I decided that I would take the opportunity presented by the thanksgiving weekend to start work on my port of GWeather to Maemo and the Nokia 770. And I’m pleased to announce that I’ve got something that you can actually run, even if it’s not particuarly usable right now.

Jumping on the 770 bandwagon

Are you ready to take the autostart challenge?

Now, here’s one for the masochistic types out there: As far as I can tell, there is no way to for an application to be installed such that it will startup as part of every user’s session the next time they log in to GNOME. Mark can probably tell me if this is absolutely true or not, but if there’s a way, I can’t find it.

So much for that idea

Wherein Phil learns that there really was an easy fix.

Caleb will love me for this…

Caleb, I’m sure you’re less than enthused about seeing that bug now mentioned a third time by me, but what can you expect? :-)
