Google services down in Singapore?
Nothing special is at this weekend, but I cannot access google services (google search, google reader, etc.) today.
It's funny that I must revert to yahoo/msn to do search.

Maemo mapper 2 supports 770, and can download map easily. I am staying in Singapore, and the map I downloaded includes: 1. 1'28"04.66N/103'41"10.47E to 1'17"48.99N/103'52"04.18E 2. 1'25"29.74N/103'52"04.18E to 1'17"48.99N/103'58"57.12E 3. 1'17"48.99N/103'44"37.56E to 1'14"20.82N/103'54"15.55E These areas does not cover whole Singapore, but should be more than enough for me.

I found the email when I got up this afternoon, :D, and so glad that I haven't read the news from maemo news Web site. Otherwise, I might think my application hasn't be accepted.
For sure, it's a great deal to buy such an amazing gadgets with 99Euro, and what also makes me happy is maemo thank contributors in this way.
Thanks, maemo.

Blogger publish ATOM feed for recent posts by default, including posts from all categories.
To publish a feed with only posts from a given category is also very simple. For example, in a blogger site http://blog.lizhao.net/ with category named 'maemo', the feed is:
http://blog.lizhao.net/feeds/posts/default/-/maemo
For more discussion about the format, plz refer to another article

MicorB for ITOS2007HE may be on the way, but who knows when will it finally arrive. Based on the waiting experience, I decided to reinstall minimo, while waiting it.
When I tried minino 1 mth ago, it is not stable on 770, but I also heard if increase memory buffer size, it can perform much better. So, I try to set the buffer size to 4096 or 8192, according to mozilla site.
On 770, just run: vi /home/user/.mozilla/minimo/prefs.js and add one line:
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 8192);
trying google calendar/reader/gmail for a while, yea, it is much more stable, but an annoying bug is still there.
I feel if there is unknown errors happened in rendering a page, the corresponding tab can not be closed, or refresh, and it will affect other tabs.
If anybody know how to solve this, plz tell me. :-)
try: user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 8); and user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 4);

After making a deb package for maemo platform, and depolying it to a repository recognized by Maemo application manager, it is valuable to let application manager display a interesting icon beside the package name.
There are several points need to note:
dpkg-scanpackages ....... > .../Packages.gz
dpkg_scanpackages="/tmp/dpkg_scanpackages-$$"
cat $BIN_SCANPACKAGES | $BIN_SED -e "s/('Package',/('Package', 'Maemo-Icon-26',/" > $dpkg_scanpackages #this is for dpkg-scanpackage 1.3
cat $dpkg_scanpackages | $BIN_SED -e "s/Size MD5sum Section Priority Description))/Size MD5sum Section Priority Description Maemo-Icon-26))/" > $dpkg_scanpackages #this is for dpkg-scanpackage 1.4
chmod 755 $dpkg_scanpackages
$dpkg_scanpackages ....... > .../Packages.gz

Most DVD players sold today have DivX support, I think. So, it is a good choice to convert videos to DivX and enjoy thems in sofa.
The free version of any video converter do the job quite well.
You may want to test the video converted with DivX Player before burning CDs.
