Recently I built Exuberant Ctags package for OS2008. It might be useful for all who develop directly under Scratchbox using VIM. Ctags offers a possibility to explore methods from the opened files similar way as IDE (see screen-shot).
The CTag package can be found on the download page under section Packages for Nokia770/N800/N810. The config file for VIM with supporting of CTags can be downloaded there as well.
For all who miss WinXP on their Nokia 770, N800 or N810 the new WinXP theme can be interesting. The development just started. But you already can get a debian package here.
If your PC (as mine) doesn’t have additional ports on the front panel the Lian Li BZ-U02 I/O port bezel can solve that problem. Actually it’s a standard 5.25″ bay with special dust cover which includes four USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, eSATA, head phone and microphone jacks. You should pay just 30 bucks for that luxuriance 🙂

Belkin recently announced its new N+ Wireless Router with very interesting feature. It allows to connect external USB drive to use it as NAS. The router supports draft 802.11n 2.0 which increase wireless data transfer significantly. Additionally it’s equiped with gigabit Ethernet ports for reliable high speed wired connections and download Speedometer bar for measurement of the download speed of your network.
The Belkin’s N+ Wireless Router will be available next month at just $119.99! Good price for such kind of devices.
I use VMware player to run Maemo SDK environment. Recently Maemo released the latest version of its SDK – Diablo. So, I decided to upgrade Chinook VMware Appliance to Diablo. I copied maemo-sdk.vmdk (virtual disk) and maemo-sdk.vmx (definitions) to the new directory, modified title in the definition and run VMware player. But after booting I found that there is no eth0. Just lo.
To solve that problem the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules should be deleted. It contains the virtual MAC address of Ethernet card. After reboot everything should be ok.
Fring is amazing application which brings Skype, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN amd more to mobile phone. I already installed it on my Nokia E65 and it works pretty cool. But recently I found info about availability Fring for Nokia N800 and N810. So, I decided to install it on my N810 as well. N810 already includes Skype, Gizmo and SIP client. But it’s really good idea to have one application which provides many IM options.
Installation was easy as usually. But after that I couldn’t run Fring because it needed libhildonmm-1.0.so.1:
error while loading shared libraries: libhildonmm-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The simple workaround is to make a symlink on libhildonmm-1.0.so.2:
sudo gainroot
ln -s /usr/lib/libhildonmm-1.0.so.2 /usr/lib/libhildonmm-1.0.so.1
It might be also interesting for all iPhone owners that there is a Fring version for Apple device as well.
Recently I got a full set of Starwars episodes. I already watched 4th and 5th. It’s great movie by the way. But in the mean time I found that cool USB hub designed as R2D2. It has 4 USB ports. Additionally it can blink red and blue LEDs, play some sounds from the movie and do some movements (it’s fun by hope it can be switched off).
The R2D2 USB HUB will be available on August at $68.55.
That “Mix Tape USB Stick†by SUCK UK was designed for all who still remember old school cassette type.
