Software and Artwork for the Nokia Internet Tablets

The Nokia N810 is the latest new gadget I use. Apart from my offical work for kc I work on porting GPE applications to the maemo software platform used on the Nokia 770, N800 and N810. I also play around with Gimp to create some wallpapers for the devices home screen.

You can find these resources on this website:

OpenEmbedded support for IBM Netvista 8365

I added some basic support for this nice small PC-based device to OpenEmbedded.
Now we are able to create small filesystem images with some basic software automatically.

Look here for details.

GPE and friends

GPE (G Palmtop Environment) is a project for creating a usful environment for PDAs and similar devices with limited resources running Linux.
I'm maintainer of gpe-conf, gpe-aerial, gpe-package, gpe-mininet, gpe-shield and i fear of gpe-beam as well.
The main problem is the fact that i can't keep my fingers away from all the other bits of GPE.

Go to my local GPE page.

Linux on SGI Visual Workstations

I use thee nice machines for my daily work, Linux support is not perfect but it works and is well maintained by a hero called Andrey Panin.
I wrote a tutorial about how to install Linux on them which resulted in the realization that it needs to be improved.

The tutorial is located here.

Some more information, patches and config files may be found here (german).

Linux on the Netbook Pro

Want to use Linux on your Psion Netbook Pro? Never ask me where this nice Linux support for it came from...
I'll work on useful filesystem images for it soon, and sure - they will be based on OE :-)

Linux on SGI Octane Workstations

I run Linux on my SGI Octane, some information about how to set up it may be found here.

Prismstumbler is a small and easy to use wireless LAN scanner.
