Logitech Cordless Desktop LX700 with the Xorg X server
This is an update to the item “Logitech Cordless Desktop LX700” after I switched from XFree86 to Xorg. I’m not sure where to cast the blame, though, since there have been many other changes, like an upgrade to Debian Sarge and a new Gnome. Something changed, thats certain, because some keys died at various levels.

Streaming MP3s to a Nokia 770
The Nokia 770 has little storage capacity, the largest RS-MMC cards on the market are 1Gb, and it doesn’t support networked file systems, so I cannot access my music via NFS or Samba and I can’t carry much on the system itself. Streaming was the way to go, it seemed. It proved at bit harder…

Making screenshots of the Nokia 770
With a great toy like the Nokia 770 one wants to make screenshots. For some unknown reason there is no standard tool to do it. The third party CPU/memory applet can make screenshots, and is in itself very nice, but I had to uninstall it due to some spurious reboots I have experienced recently during…

Customisation of my Nokia 770
This is mostly a check list for myself. I flashed my Nokia 770 without having a backup of my changes, so I had to redo all my customisations.

Flashing the Nokia 770
I wanted to update my Nokia 770 with the latest root image, so I flashed the device as described at maemo.org. Everything went well, but it did kill all the changes I had made to the system. The 770 was for all practical purposes reset to factory default. Only the memory card was unchanged. Note…

Nokia 770 crashes
This afternoon the Nokia 770 crashed on my three or four times just after reboot. It came up, I connected to my wifi and clicked “Refresh” in the News applet. It went unresponsive and rebooted after a while. The next time I tried to connect twice and it rebooted again. After several attempts it finally…

Nokia 770 lnternet tablet
My Nokia 770 finally arrived. lts the first time l experience Linux as a consumer product, even though l’ve been using Linux as my primary OS since 1992. The sensation is quite strange. My first impression is: WoW!! The display is incredible. Though rather small, only about 4″ it is 800 pixels wide and very…

USB Bridges
I definitely need one of these before our next holiday. Macally Syncbox II Belkin USB Anywhere Delkin USB-Bridge It will make it dead easy to copy photos from our digital cameras to a usb harddisk.

Installing Debian Sarge on a HP Proliant DL320
I’ve just installed Debian Sarge on a HP Proliant DL320 without a hitch. It is a Xeon 3.4GHz hyperthreaded with 1Gb ram and a single SATA disk. I booted it via PXE since it has no optical drive and no floppy and ran the installation from there. The basic system works perfectly, with a stock…

Nucleus CMS on Apache2 / Debian
While moving all my sites to Apache2 and PHP4.4 on a Debian server, I ran into a few problems. Not sure why, though. All pages on all blogs came up blank and there was absolutely nothing in the Apache error log. A test showed that the server returned zero bytes. I ran the install.php script…
