My N97

Having had my N97 for quite a while now, I'd thought I would write down a couple of things that might be usefull for other N97 users.

Putty

My favorite application for the N97, putty! The phone really shines with this app. You've got good resolution (106 x 27 characters) and the keyboard seperate from the phone makes this into a very good terminal combination.

Senseo hacking

Aangezien ik wel van cappuccino en aanverwanten hou heb ik al een tijdje een Senseo Latte. Opzich werkt die prima en de koffie is voor mij goed genoeg. Wat alleen irritant kan zijn is wanneer je meerdere keren achter elkaar koffie wilt zetten. Het water reservoir is groot zat, maar elke keer de melk bijvullen is soms lastig.

Maar, daar is wat aan te doen! Wederom via Ebay deze kit besteld:

100 1 running 10.10.20.150 test

After debugging a bit I was able to narrow it down to the upgrade of the sysinit (and related) package from 2.87 to 2.88. After a bit of searching it seems to be related to a tcgetattr() call. A workaround seems to exist though, add the following to /etc/default/rcS

Panne op de rotonde

Ik heb al veel gezien op de rotonde voor m'n appartement, maar deze is nieuw. Een trekker met oplegger had blijkbaar problemen. Van 10:00 tot 12:00 heeft hij de rotonde geblokkeerd en er moesten twee hijskranen aan te pas komen om het zaakje weer vrij te krijgen! Wat er precies aan de hand was is niet duidelijk, de combinatie is na ingrijpen van de hijskranen en een praatje met de politie weer verder gereden.

Having read the two books by Greg Banish on ECU calibration, I found some links to a book by A. Graham Bell with pretty good reviews.

Four channel helicopter

On Ebay I bought a pretty cheap remote controle helicopter ($9). It took a while to arrive though, over a month. The box looked a bit dodgey.
