Back from FOSDEM’07
FOSDEM was unbelievably exhausting this year. Being in charge of the OpenMoko application framework (which I had to talk about and attend way too many “business” meetings) and one of the founders of OpenEmbedded (which had a booth this year), my schedule just completely broke down: Of the 10 talks I…
Offence is the best defence
::: {.img-shadow} ::: Today at 16:00 I was notified that I successfully defended my thesis. Preceded by a 15 minutes report by me and slightly over an hour questioning me. It’s an unbelievable relief to know that the hardest part is over and this chapter can be closed real soon now. The last thing …
Emulating 20 year old hardware on a phone
Due to my preparations for the thesis defence — soon over, since tomorrow is “judgement day” — I have almost zero time to work on OpenMoko. Yesterday though I got one of the very few models with a case prototype, that means I can finally work with the vibrator and the speakers (which sit in the case…
openmoko.org and the light of day
As promised, OpenMoko completely opened access to code, specifications, bugtracker, and mailing lists. This is an absolute novum in the industry, since — to my knowledge — no company ever published code and specifications during development state. This is even more open than Nokia — who released Mae…
Fed up with legacy radio
I can’t stand listening to local radio stations anymore. No matter which station or target audience, the playlists are always too small and similar, too commercial-orientated, the moderators are dull, and when I want to know about what happened I rather read a newspaper or go online. Fortunately, th…
Cultural Shock ahead
With us moving in April to a new appartment, I will take the chance to fill the gained space in the new office room with a slightly enhanced computing infrastructure. Currently, I own one Windows (XP) machine, one GNU/Linux (Mandriva) machine, and a lot of mobile devices running GNU/Linux (OpenEmbed…
OpenMoko @ LugRadio
LugRadio is a fortnightly British radio show that takes a relaxed, humorous look at Linux and open source. Recently, we talked about the OpenMoko mobile phone platform. It was a fun experience, these guys are really cool! Gosh, I have a hell of an accent. I really need to attend some articulation le…
Appointment for Thesis Defence
I finally have an appointment for the public defence of my doctoral thesis. It will happen on Thursday, 22nd of February, 2007, 14:00 which is good and bad. Good in the sense that it will finally be over in 4 weeks. Bad in the sense that I have only 4 weeks left to prepare for it. Since this is one …
A good day
Three cool events happened today: We got confirmation that we have been selected as new hirers for an appartement we have applied for. That means we will have to move — which is not so cool per se, because moving is always stressful and exhausting — however my office room will grow from 15m² to 31m…
Back from 23c3
The annual Chaos Computer Congress in Berlin was a really cool event. It was my first Chaos Computer Congress and there were lots of interesting talks and opportunities to meet talented people working on projects. I also found time to work a couple of hours with Harald ‘LaF0rge’ Welte on OpenMoko an…
