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. The result: When browsing the net, or working in emacs all I have to do to post in my blog (including the url of the page I'm on if I'm browsing) is: Hit a keyboard shortcut, type the blog entry as org-mode formated text, save it, hit a second keyboard shortcut.Read more »

Today I came across a great add-on for Emacs: TwIt. TwIt is quite simply a Twitter plug-in for Emacs with an optional mode. You can post tweets, follow your friends tweets, list your friends and your followers, perform searches, retrieve @msgs and direct messages, and even use multiple accounts.

This is great news for me. Now I can, once again, sink down into the comfortable lisp environment of Emacs and continue to live my life inside of Emacs. With Conkeror, Emacs, a good .emacs file and the right add-ons installed you really don't need any other software. 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 »

Yesterday I received a Neo Freerunner in the mail. I've spent a little bit of time installing the newest OpenMoko and also the latest QT Extended. So hopefully I'll soon start to write some apps for the Freerunner, and start writing some guides. Read more »

I have created a pipemenu for OpenBox allowing you to have a menu of your Opera bookmarks anywhere in the OpenBox window manager. 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.

Update: Version 1.1 is now out. This version fixes a race condition that could cause the linebreak to be inserted before or somewhere in the barcode itself. Download is available below. Read more »

The default keyboard shortcut application in gnome, as you might have noticed, isn't worth very much. You can only assign keyboard shortcuts to a list of predefined commands. Not very valuable really. It is however possible to define up to 12 custom keyboard shortcuts in a slightly more complicated manner. (Some people have said it's possible to define up to 32 shortcuts, but I haven't been able to define more than 12.Read more »

If you use SSH from the shell often you might be getting tired of entering your password over and over again. If you often log on to other machines from your machine via SSH, be it work, school, or just other machines on your LAN? Then this can be a real timesaver. Doing this is also a must if you want to mount remote file systems via SSHFS boot time. Warning! Only do this on machines you trust. If you are on a public machine, it’s probably a good idea to not do this.Read more »

I've finally had time to sit down and do some research on syncml push notification. Basically what I've done is made a perl script that kicks in when funambols log is changed. It then checks if the log any changes have occurred what device initiated the changes. If it decides that these are changes that the my cell phone needs to know about, it sends a push message to my phone telling it to update, and my phone automatically updates. It also sends different messages depending upon what needs to be updated; calendar, contacts or both.
