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.
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.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 »»

When you click a bookmark in the menu it is opened in Opera or if Opera is already running in a new tab. To read more about OpenBox pipemenus and how to use them visit the OpenBox wiki.
I have a couple of Flic barcode scanners that have been collecting dust on the shelf for a couple of years. Last time I used these I was using Windows XP as my primary operating system. Just the other day I installed Tellico and decided to catalogue my huge collection of books. A barcode scanner sure would make my life easier. So now I needed a Linux driver for these fine devices. It took me about 6 hours to conclude that the only software wedge available for the Flic on Linux is closed source payware and only supports tethered connections not BlueTooth.Read more »»

Files and Folder Sync is part of the Sync applet of PC Suite (also used to Sync Contacts, Calendar, Bookmarks, etc.). It allows you to specify a folder on your PC to be kept in-sync with a folder on your phone.Read more »»
Quickmark has finally released their Symbian 3rd edition version barcode reader, becoming in my opinion the best barcode reader for camera cell phones available today. In my previous test Quickmark would have been the best barcode reader, but was passed by Kaywa due to the fact that they didn’t offer a 3rd edition version. This has now finally changed. The following should give you good reason to switch to Quickmark:Read more »»
Nokia has released a new firmware for N80(ie) with version number v 5.0719.0.2. It's available via NSU but not FOTA. I've just installed it, so the only change noticed yet is that Y-Browser no longer works. The phone give a security error message when you try to start the app. I'll post more after more testing.
