Off Topic forum / What Laptop Do You Use, And Why?

« on: December 20, 2007, 05:33:45 am »

Fujistu Lifebook B-2154 circa 2001

1.4kg, Celeron 450, 192MB and touchscreen configured as follows

1. Ripped the HDD out and replaced with 4GB CF card (Transcend 266x which gives 40MB/s)

2. Had the batteries refilled with newer LiIon cells from batteryrefill.com - takes the life up to 5 hours from 3

3. Installed Windows 98SE (yes!) with IEradicator to remove IE and unofficial SP2.01.
This is remarkably secure and fast, no services running in background, most malware won't run.
Linux does run but not quite as resource efficiently and the touchscreen and BIOS suspend/resume are not quite 100%

4. Install CPUIdle

5. Install OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and the whole PIM/PI suite

I've been thinking about doing such a thing with the exact same machine but I was afraid of the battery life and unaware of the CF lifetime. Did you tweak the swap (lkike turning it down) to save your CF or didn't you do anything specific ?

For almost 2.5 years: IBM x31. I love it.
Small, robust, quite light, yet fully usable.

Software / New Japanese Dictionaries For Zbedic

« on: December 16, 2007, 04:00:36 pm »

It's been some months since I uploaded these dictionary files so here's a little Christmas gift: I've updated to today's version of EDICT. The latest version of my files is 1.2.

You can find the new files in the usual place here. Comments and suggestions still welcome, especially now as I'm starting to think about my plans for next year.

I have some questions there, is it possible to have japanese/korean/chinese input methods at the same time on a zaurus ?
Do you know a Chinese dictionnary that would be free ?

Sharp ROMs / 4gb Cards With Cacko

« on: December 07, 2007, 05:10:16 am »

does that driver work withe the c760?

just found that old topic when I was searching the answer for same question.... I tried to use the module from pdaxrom and 2GB SD works now in cacko and c700. The module specified in this topic cannot work as the c1000 uses different kernel version

I use the SDi/o driver for the wifi sd card of a company I can't remember the name.

Sharp ROMs / Cacko 1.24 - A Wishlist

« on: December 03, 2007, 04:59:17 am »

I'd like a fully functionnal support for Wifi cards and WPA intergrated as it is the norm today and my wifi is always messy-behaving.
This is reason why I never actually really use my Z.

An update of Gaim to the latest Pidgin if possible.
A simplier setup of foreign languages (like a one package install of the korean language) such as european and asian languages.

Otherwise, I think that Cacko is great !

edit: I want to precise that I have no idea about how difficult it is to realize what I just suggested. But as it is a wishlist, I did as if I was asking this for Christsmas

Android / Google Android

« on: November 28, 2007, 01:38:05 pm »

I can't see anything in Android compromising OpenMoko's goal. OpenMoko is for people who want to be able to experiment, able to replace anything on their phone, able to have full control over every software component. Android won't give you that. Android may as well be the next Symbian, but it's not sharing the same goal of openness as OpenMoko is. OpenMoko has some years to go until it's ready for mainstream market, but I think until then, we can have enough fun with R&D labs, creative people, geeks, and vertical markets.

Thanks for your opinion, I hope this is what will happen ^^.

Off Topic forum / Looking For A Gaming Console

« on: November 20, 2007, 03:08:18 am »

If you're not going to hack the PSP, then don't buy a PSP. A hacked PSP is a wonderful device but if you're not willing to hack it, get them a DS.
I owned both machines, I sold the PSP mainly because of the remanence of the screen.
I'd like to buy the new version someday (I heard the screen is better) beacause with a psp you emulate almost all gaming machines from the 8-16 bits area + the PSone and GBA.

The DS has just so many great games made for the DS and not emulated (and more are coming) that I would recommend this console if you're not interested in emulators of the PSP.

That's probably not this but did you uncheck the memory preloading in the options for launching the Sharp PIM apps ?

Is there a way to install Pdaxii13 on a c760?
If so, could someone send me the link or instructions?

Thanks,

Look there :

I wish you good luck, I didn't have much and decided to keep Cacko.

Debian / Debian Eabi With Installer

« on: November 01, 2007, 06:08:22 pm »

Oh my, the instructions are so positively simple !
I'm willing to try that on my C760, if you need me.
In what country do you live ? If you want to conduct some IRC/real time debuging, I think I can find some time.

Off Topic forum / Installed Ubuntu On Desktop, Slow As Molasses In January

5.10

Why such an old version ?
And it should not be that slow, your configuration should enable you to run Ubuntu in good conditions (not perfect but totally acceptable).
I suggest that you try with a more recent version. Also the speed you're talking about is after you proceeded to the hard drive install, right ?

Asus Eee PC / Asus 3epc

« on: October 30, 2007, 11:40:03 am »

WOuld make an awesome combo with a neo1973, wouldn't it?

Unfortunately, not really. I just realised that the eee doesn't have either bluetooth nor irda - sure you can get dongles for both, but it would have been a lot better if Asus had included one or both.

Yes, that sucks but the free mini-pci slot that is available on this should save us !
Of course it will be an aditionnal cost but still it's doable.
