This happens to me all the time, especially when running programs that takes hours to complete.
Start the code
Go out for some tea or movie.
When you come back, you find that the program had decided to piss you off by crashing 2 seconds after you went away from the keyboard.
The amount of cuss words thrown at [...]

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 of [...]

SHR (Stable Hybrid Release) released images recently and boy, did they do an awesome job at it. By far, SHR and Debian are some of the images that uses the FSO daemons by default. So turns out to be a great testing ground for the FSO APIs. And after a long while, I also got [...]

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 [...]

Four words. Shaastra ‘08 was frigging awesome. I was there a couple of days and had fun meeting people (shres, madhusudhan and many others). Also got to speak about FSO framework (slides later) as part of the FOSS sub-conference. Lots of food, some awesome talks and a wonderful atmosphere made the event memorable. Too bad, [...]

In Chennai we have three seasons, summer (nov-march), f***ing hot summer (april – june), a mildly wet but still hot summer (july-oct). In case you are wondering where I am pointlessly heading to, I was talking about the Google Summer of Code 2008 which ended successfully for me ; the code which I submitted [...]

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 device [...]

After intense negotiations with the college that made me realise that I could be a good business man, I was given OD to attend mukt.in. I was there to talk on DBus (which by the way was EPIC FAIL!). On a brighter side, I had fun showing off my gsoc code to people at qvantel. [...]

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 [...]

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
