I like to use a vertical panel, because i more need to save place vertically than horizontally. Therefore, the notification area in the gnome panel have an inadequate behavior, it stacks very big icons vertically, following the gnome-panel width. In fact, it does the same thing for the applications launchers, but this can be fixed using the quick lounge applet. Alexander Kojevnikov’s blog have some patches, about using a gnome panel vertically, some are already integrated, but the one for the notification area needs some refreshment to be applied to the *current* gnome-panel (2.30.2).

Here is an update version of the patch: na-2.30.2.diff

(with a title like this, i will have a lot of hits :p)

Well, i’ve just installed an custom Android 1.6 image on my LG GW620, thanks for Zacpod for his workl !!

But, this version dosn’t have the APN configuration tool to enter the parameter to let connect in 3G.

As this version seems to be based on a Korean image for the same phone, the only 3G provider filled in it is not very usefull,

and without the APN configuration tool, it’s not easy to edit the provider list.

Here is a method to make 3G works on the Roger network.

• Install the Zacpod image
• Freak about no APN configuration
• Download the hacked Zacpod ADB (read it’s blog, it will be very usefull)
• Run adb shell
• Become superuser with su (and allow it on the phone screen)

• Take a big breath
• run sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
• INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, user, server, password, proxy, port, mmsproxy, mmsport, mmsc, type) VALUES (‘Roger’, ’302720′, ’302′, ’720′, ‘internet.com’, ‘wapuser1′, ‘*’, ‘wap’,  »,  »,  »,  », ‘null’, ‘default’);

Reboot your phone, and it’s done

It seems that Google is preparing something… and it just leaked onto my browser:

(and yes, it’s playable and doesn’t require flash)

J’ai finalement conclus que je n’ai plus aucune raison de garder un compte sur facebook, j’avais pourtant réussi à prendre l’habitude de faire abstraction du 95% de contenu composé de niaiseries sans intérêt, et fini par croire que les 5% restants pouvaient être utiles, mais finalement non:

- Je préfère garder un carnet d’adresses privé
- Les gens qui prétendent participer à des évènement n’y vont pas
- Je côtoie à peine 20% de mes « amis facebook » dans la vrai vie, et n’ai cure des autres (et c’est probablement réciproque)
- Facebook use et abuse à son gré de toutes sortes d’informations personnelles et traces qu’on peut y laisser.
- Facebook est un logiciel propriétaire.

J’invite tous les gens qui trouvent agréable où utile de raconter leur vie et de suivre celle des autres sur internet à joindre le réseau social identi.ca (et éventuellement quitter facebook).

English version: ask me.

It seems that i have forgotten to mention the authors of the different gpr400 driver implementations or patches when i began to work on it.

Thanks to:

- Pierrick Hascoet

Everybody knows that my keyboard layout (humbly named JSK) is awesome. humm in fact, not quite everybody… The truth is that i need to promote my layout to hope its inclusion in the ‘exotic’ sections of ‘xkeyboard-config’, so, here is where to look to begin to love this keyboard layout (and pass the word).

I’ve released a new version of the gpr400_cs driver including Jose Antonio Sánchez Vázquez fixes, and adding dkms.

This version runs fine with recents kernels and is tested with Ubuntu’s 2.6.30 one.

The package for Ubuntu Karmic is available here:

http://projects.schurger.org/embedded/packages/index.html

(The karmic package should be installable on a jaunty as it contains
only sources and scripts)

The sources are available through mercurial here:
