I just released version 1.1 of FlicServ. This version fixes a race condition that could cause the linebreak to be inserted before or somewhere in the barcode itself. More here.

A couple of days ago I finally received my brand new HTC Desire (featuring a SLCD-screen instead of the OLED and Android 2.2) that I ordered ages ago. Thus I soon will start posting Android stuff here, and as soon as I finish my masters thesis I'll start writing software for Android too (and posting about it here).Read more »

I forgot to post this here before now. A couple of months ago I finally got a new quick to post to blog up and running, since I hardly ever seem to update this one other then when I write tutorials and guide.

To make a long story short: I created a blog using emacs, org-mode, jekyll and git/gitosis. The result: When browsing the net, or working in emacs all I have to do to post in my blog (including the url of the page I'm on if I'm browsing) is: Hit a keyboard shortcut, type the blog entry as org-mode formated text, save it, hit a second keyboard shortcut.Read more »

Today I came across a great add-on for Emacs: TwIt. TwIt is quite simply a Twitter plug-in for Emacs with an optional mode. You can post tweets, follow your friends tweets, list your friends and your followers, perform searches, retrieve @msgs and direct messages, and even use multiple accounts.

This is great news for me. Now I can, once again, sink down into the comfortable lisp environment of Emacs and continue to live my life inside of Emacs. With Conkeror, Emacs, a good .emacs file and the right add-ons installed you really don't need any other software. Read more »

I've finally got gsmblog.net up and running on a new CMF. It's really a relief to get rid of the old crappy Joomla the site was running off previously. The new site has been up and running for a bit more than a week, and so far there seems not to be any major problems. I still have to do a lot of tweaking here and there, specially on the Norwegian version of the site. Unfortunately I've been knocked out with a fever for a few days, so I'm rather back-logged at the moment.Read more »

For those of you who are wondering what has happened to me, I've gone back to school. I've just started a two years masters program. And my masters topic is, *drum roll", handset localization in mobile networks. So I'm doing a master in the topic that has been my hobby for the last 10 year or so. Even though I at the moment feel like I will not have time to sleep for the next two years, hopefully I'll be able to be a bit more active here in the future. You will probably see some localization software here soon, and probably some begging for help collecting data too. Oh.Read more »

Yesterday I received a Neo Freerunner in the mail. I've spent a little bit of time installing the newest OpenMoko and also the latest QT Extended. So hopefully I'll soon start to write some apps for the Freerunner, and start writing some guides. Read more »
