Nokia

You can compile the latest builds from Banshee if you’d like, but for those of you on older non-bleeding edge machines here is the .is_audio_player needed for HAL. Save on the root of your N900 device. This will place the files in the correct locations: playback_mime_types=video/mp4-generic, video/quicktime, video/mp4, video/mpeg4, video/3gp, video/3gpp2, application/sdp, audio/3gpp, audio/3ga, audio/3gpp2, audio/amr, audio/x-amr, audio/mpa, audio/mp3, audio/x-mp3, audio/x-mpg, audio/mpeg, audio/mpeg3, audio/mpg3, audio/mpg, audio/mp4, audio/m4a, audio/aac, audio/x-aac, audio/mp4a-latm, audio/wav ...

MaStory is a nice little blogging app. Testing xmlrpc with it

I think in part to my tweets of N900 lust and desire, Nokia contacted me to see if I was interested in a demo unit. After validating the email was NOT from Nigeria I quickly responded with a “YES PLZ SEND MEZ FONE!” Why the gadget lust when I have a top-of-the-line iPhone? Easy, I am a geek. While I enjoy the hell out of having nice and easy to use devices, deep down I want to tinker. My original move to Mac was because I didn’t trust myself to have a Linux or BSD machine with me on the road. Every waking moment would be spent tweaking the kernel or compiler options for just a little bit more speed. Bleeding Edge, you betcha. ...

A program came out called Maemo Blog…and I am using it. Hooked up to my bluetooth keyboard I am able to type a post that would have taken ages with the other input methods. To top it off I type this very quickly due to the touch typing feel of this keyboard. What the n800 has become for me is a mini laptop. I use it in airports while I travel and in hotel rooms when I need a quick email. The n800 is far from perfect though, with its lack of software (compared to the n770) and I am still waiting on my Skype client. But such is life of the Linux bleeding edge guy. My blood is your gain :)
