After serving me for about 1.5 years, my laptop decided to stop working. First is crashed a couple of times, and then it died dramatically, showing nice colour effects and a fade to white on the display. The effects were indeed nice, but the end result is not; I no longer have laptop. Well, granted, it still has some warranty left, so I’ll try to get it fixed, but for the time of being, it is gone. |

This happened to be my only computer with scratchbox and working maemo development environment; now I’ll need to get my workstation into usable state. I’m concidering of re-installing it with ubuntu, that would make things easier, but I’ve kind of grown attached to the OS install on it (see my previous <a href="http://inz.fi/blog/?p=51">post</a> on the subject). Probably I should just back up everything on the new fileserver’s 800G RAID and get rid of the buggy Fedora installation. |

The transition was smooth, the last week of vacation I attended university after a longish break. Now my days are about 12 hours long… And I should find some time for OSS projects too. |

I’ve been doing some hacking on maemo-blog, and starting to get a asynchronous blog API’s working. I’ll release something soon. I’ve also added account manager and done some (not even nearly enough) code cleaning. I still need to make the blogger plugin comply to the new asynchronous API. |
|---|
| 186 |
</p> |
|---|
| 187 |
<p> |
|---|
| 188 |
However, during testing the changes, I created two blogs on wordpress.com, and found their xmlrpc API to be quite PITA. Doing a metaWebLog.getUsersBlogs returns all users blogs, as one would except; but… The different blogs of a user require one to use different xmlrpc URLs (ie, http://<blog>.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php), and the blog name from the domain name is always used, even if there is a blogId defined in the method call, even when they’re different; this is a bit of a problem. Trying to be as generic as I can, I wouldn’t like to create separate plugins for each blog provider, and metaWebLog API does not support sending a new xmlrpc URL in a getUsersBlogs reply, there’s just no generic way of working past the wordpress.com behavior. Found that at least some <a href="http://performancing.com/firefox">performancing</a> user has run into the <a href="http://performancing.com/node/2740">same problem</a>, and a quick try with <a href="http://blogtk.sourceforge.net/">BloGTK</a> yielded the same results. |

Two weeks into my summer holiday (my first ever full summer holiday), and everythings going nice. I’ve been doing mostly nothing, which was pretty much my plan. For the first week, the weather was very nice, but then my father’s vacation started too, and, of cource, it started to rain. |
|---|
| 213 |
</p> |
|---|
| 214 |
<p> |

| 215 |
I’ve tried to get my bicycle into better shape, and have spent quite a few euros on new parts and tools for fixing it, props to <a href="http://www.biltema.fi/">biltema</a> for cheap (not always so good though) tools and parts. |
|---|
| 216 |
</p> |
|---|
| 217 |
<p> |
|---|
| 218 |
I’ve also taken up some asthanga and hatha yoga from a DVD, and it is nice, makes you feel relaxed and revitalized. And it even makes you sweat, you feel like you’ve done something. I hope that it can eventually make me more flexible — no results seen yet thought — as I’m about as flexible as a steel girder. |
|---|
| 219 |
</p> |
|---|
| 220 |
<p> |
|---|
| 221 |
I’ve also read — well not quite finished yet — the “Men are from mars — women from venus” by John Gray, and can really recommend the book. Even if your relationship doesn’t need it, it is a great book for learning stuff about yourself; stuff you didn’t even know you were missing. =) |
|---|
| 222 |
</p> |
|---|
| 223 |
<p> |
|---|
| 224 |
Anyway, wandering back to the blissful joy of doing nothing. Cheers. |

<div class="p">tigert wrote on his <a href="http://tigert.com">blog</a> about feelings from maemo-blog test session. Some comments on those. |
|---|
| 248 |
<ul> |
|---|
| 249 |
<li><b>Images</b>: Yes, they should be scaled down, just haven’t had the time, nor inspiration, to do it. The images _do_ work with wordpress (if normal file upload works), if you use the metaWebLog API, with blogger API they don’t.</li> |
|---|
| 250 |
<li><b>Spinner</b>: Indeed, it would be preferable to see that the application is doing something. I’m not quite sure, if xmlrpc’s client API has support for this, I wouldn’t like to go multithread, but I’ll see what can be done.</li> |
|---|
| 251 |
<li><b>Source view</b>: The source view is currently easily available because the “WYSIWYG” editor isn’t quite there yet; intention is to make it more hidden as the editor matures.</li> |
|---|
| 252 |

My workstation machine was last installed with a RedHat 6.2, if I recall correctly. It has since been upgraded and upgraded, quite actively until maybe year or two ago, with packages from RedHat/RawHide and its successor Fedora/development. The machine works well enough, I would not like to break it. However, I really think I’m missing on something there. Obviously I’d like to change to debian/ubuntu, just haven’t had the guts, as there may be lots of personal hacks scattered around the filesystem. |

The rpm database has been totally re-build 2 times, due to bad database crashes. It took ages both times, but the result has always been a working system. The init scripts on the machine are a total mess, and there may be some packages one or two generations older than the others. Even though I do use apt-get on it, I can’t always do blind upgrade, so there’s usually some packages left unupgraded. |

Now that the fileserver is kicking in, I’ve enough disk to copy all the stuff out of the machine and start from the scratch, I’m just still wondering if I should, would I get the new distro the way I want in sensible timeframe. All the HW in the system has changed during the lifetime of the installation, and yet, against all odds, it’s still kicking. |

All in all, don’t get too attached to your OS installation, OS reinstall are certainly healthy every now and then, especially if you’re using bleeding edge packages. |

<p>Cursed be the statusbar on maemo for the lack of space. Thus made I a little hack to <a href="http://maemo-hackers.org/wiki/OssoStatusbarCpu">osso-statusbar-cpu</a> to show time on top of the graph(s). For those who lack imagination, see the webpage, there be screenshot.</p> |

<p>The repository watcher now gets every package changed, and detects the changes from it. This only includes the changes in the latest version, not compared to previous version or anything fancy like that. The results can be seen in the <a href="http://maemo-hackers.org/packages.php">RSS feed</a>.</p> |

Decided that the time for osso-xterm based on the old, clumsy HildonApp and HildonAppView was at the end. Behold, the osso-xterm 0.13.mh11, which uses HildonProgram and HildonWindow. Window title changes are now also supported. |

<p>Started upgrading the router machine to be a file server too. Got two Delock PCI SATA controllers (SiI3112A chipset) and four Western Digital 320 GB platters, with intention to have ~1 TB RAID5 on the machine.</p> |
|---|
| 383 |
<p>The problems started before even physically connecting the disks, or the controllers. The casing only has places for 4 3,5″ devices, and I intend to keep floppy drive and old ATA -disk there too. Now two disks are “lying” on the bottom of the case (put some legs on them, so they’re not exactly lying there). Problem solved ’nuff (maybe I’ll buy some 5,25″/3,5″ adapters later).</p> |
|---|
| 384 |
<p>The problems didn’t stop, quite the opposite actually. While adding the cards and disks physically was quite a breeze, (added also sound card and replaced realtek based card with 3com one, all pci slots full now) the machine refused to start debian from the old disk. In fact, it never got to LILO.</p> |
|---|
| 385 |
<p>Then I tried to disconnect the SATA drives from their power source, and we got a running debian with no sata disks. Some fiddling, like installing new kernel, and shutdown; this time startup to LILO with drives unpowered, powering them up and continued loading Linux with the drives. This worked suprisingly well, except that the drives on the latter controller gave some errors.</p> |
|---|
| 386 |
<p>Now I’ve got the system up, but somewhy bringing eth1 up (pcnet32/HomePNA) freezes the whole system, eth0 (3c59x) works just fine. I still need to figure out this problem in order to get the network running again and also find out why the 2nd controller fails. It may have something to do with them seemingly being on the same IRQ, which means some BIOS/CMOS hacking.</p> |
|---|
| 387 |
<p>The battle continues today, I ain’t gonna lose. =)</p> |
|---|
| 388 |
<p><b>Update:</b><br /> |
|---|
| 389 |
It works, yay:</p> |
|---|
| 390 |
<pre> |
|---|
| 391 |
inzane@h0x:~$ df -h /mnt/tmp/ |
|---|
| 392 |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on |
|---|
| 393 |
/dev/md0 881G 33M 836G 1% /mnt/tmp |
|---|
| 394 |
</pre> |
|---|
| 395 |
<p>And all I had to do was to remove SB Live! and put the HomePNA adapter in its steadt and tweak the IRQ’s in CMOS (all my PCI cards were on the same IRQ - not good). Not sure though, if I could boot the machine without hot-powering the SATA drives. =) |
