Revision as of 07:22, 7 January 2009

I'm using a FreeRunner, with Qt-Extended on the flash but mainly using Debian on the microSD. I'm blogging a bit about my experiences and hacking on it at http://journal.wjsullivan.net.

I'm in Boston.

If you have a question or suggestion for me, feel free to leave it on the talk page here or contact me by email etc.

Contents

Hardware

  • GTA02
  • FrogPad bluetooth keyboard
  • PaperMate PhD Multi pen, which includes a pen and stylus
  • Altec Lansing 2.5mm headphones (which have a mic too, though I don't know if it works)
  • 8GB microSD card

Uses

I'm currently using it without a SIM with:

  • e17 and Illume
  • gmpc/mpc/mpd/mpdscribble as a scrobbling music player
  • TangoGPS
  • Emacs for text editing
  • subversion for pulling in my home directory
  • wifi-radar for connecting to wifi networks

Web browsing

Iceweasel configuration

  • Set my home page to http://delicious.com/johnsu01/mobile, which will have frequently used bookmarks.
  • Turn off auto-suggest in the search box (right-click on it and turn off "Show Suggestions"). But probably I need to remove this altogether, unless I can move the address bar to its own line -- right now all I can see there is "http".
  • Disable autocompletion in the address bar -- makes typing impossible.

I tried the delicious extension but it seems to make things too slow. I might try again.
