Mashing Twitter and FSO
I really love Twitter and it didn’t make any sense to me to shell out a rupee for every tweet sent through my Airtel Mobile. Moreover, I am on one of those monthly booster packs which allows you to send 22000 text messages for free. I simply had to exploit this by setting up my […]

No GTA03 in 2009 :(
2-3 back came a sad and shocking news (atleast to me) that Openmoko has sacked/let go of 50% of its work force and has ceased all developments for GTA03. Furthermore Openmoko has stopped funding FSO. Both of which were grim developments to hear. On a brighter note, FSO has started work on the Vala/C implemention […]

fsod status
Its been a while since I blogged about odeviced. In my earlier posts I had mentioned the possibility of integrating odeviced and others (which do not exist at the moment) into a single daemon for avoiding too much fracture. I have pushed some code that does this, converting odeviced into a Device subsystem that is […]

Phew. GSoC 2008 program is going to end in a couple of days and boy, did I have fun. Most of the code for the second phase was actually pushed last week. Anyway, here are the updates. Accelerometer plugin for Freerunner. Now you can use odeviced to retrieve accelerometer values for the position of the […]

Woot..Passed the mid-term evals
After a week’s waiting my mentor informed me that I had passed the mid-term evaluations. (he said that my performance for the first phase exceeded his expectations. ). Its been a long time since I actually blogged about the progress. After I got the Freerunner in my hand (muhuhahahaa), it was more fun since there […]

Wow, DHL dudes are fast. They took just 4 days to ship the device considering there was a sunday in-between. Thanks to Daniel for sending the devices to the SoC’ers. I don’t have a dedicated camera, so pics are a bit sucky (Evil maniacal laughter) Here are the pics…muhuhahaha

A few days gone by, and endless wrestling with git wherein I was not able to push code. Turned out, I was using the wrong URL to push ..doh! But anyway, the code is beginning to stabilise a bit (Read no unexpected segfaults, only expected ones..). The last few days were spent in changing the […]

I am pretty sure my friends would go “WTF, you are too dumb for Goog” by now. Guess what, I am a full time employee of Google now!. (*ahem* for three months). I was more of an impression that I was technically an intern for three months. But after reading Aju’s post, it turns out […]

Battery Plugin and more..
After a little chat with mickeyl, I realised that exposing crucial functions like load() and unload() was not that of a good idea considering how odeviced is supposed to closely interact with the underlying devices. Consequently there has been some changes over the last week, No DBus interface for the service. Plugins have now access […]
