Today I got round to upgrading the Maemo build environment on my Debian home server from SDK 3.x to SDK 4.x, so that I could start building applications for my new N810 which is running ITOS 2008. And all I did was simply:
Backup the old source build area from within scratchbox so that I [...]
My device program N810 arrived about a month ago, and I have to say that so far I’m very impressed. I got to see a prototype courtesy of Quim Gil last October at the BT event he spoke at, and between then and my N810 arriving have had my fingers crossed in the [...]
A little while ago I registered for Nokia’s N810 device programme and yesterday I received an e-mail to confirm that my application had been accepted. Which means that I will soon be able to purchase an N810 at the heavily discounted price of €99.
I’ll more than likely leave the N800 running OS2007 and [...]
A build of the c3270 IBM 3270 (TN3270) terminal emulator is available for Maemo Bora. If you don’t have the Osmosoft repository you can add it by clicking here, and then find c3270 under user/Emulators in Application manager.
In the photo you can see c3270 running in one xterm tab whilst connected to Hercules running in [...]
So I finally got round to building a package for the Maemo (bora) build of Hercules, and setting up a Debian repository for it and future builds of other stuff for Maemo. You can add the repository by clicking here, and then find Hercules under user/Emulators in Application manager. Or if you prefer you can [...]
Friday evening I came home to discover that the 2GB SD card I had ordered almost 2 weeks ago had finally arrived (postal strikes).
Last night I got round to copying on to it an ISO of the OpenVMS VAX v7.3 install CD, and managed to boot this on the Nokia N800 via SimH [...]
Excited by last night’s success at turning my internet tablet into a VAX I thought I’d see if it could pretend to be an IBM mainframe, and in particular a System/370 running 1970s vintage IBM VM. I also knew I could fit this operating system on the spare SD card I had which [...]
So whilst pimping is hardly my favourite expression it seems fitting to describe the process one of my latest acquisitions – a Nokia N800 – is being subjected to. For most people these days customisation is key, and as was the case with the scooter loving Mods this holds especially true for geeks – folks [...]
