Setting up a new development environment – Android
It’s been a long while since I was doing any personal coding projects and even longer since the last time I gave much thought to the development environment and tools that I would use. However, that time is upon me again…
Maemo: n900 to Android: HTC Desire Z
I had toyed with the idea for a while, and even written a post some time ago suggesting that my next phone would like be an Android one. A couple of weeks ago my n900 decided to stop booting at all, and I had to send it away for repair. While it was away I…
Maemo Application repository – A suggestion
One of the things which I like about Maemo is the way they arrange an application repository structure go with a development cycle of an app. Rather than simply writing something, and making it available in an appstore when you’ve made it ‘perfect’ there is a tiered structure.

Optical character recognition on the N900
This week I decided to spend some time playing with something a little different on my n900. Namely optical character recognition. This was inspired by a demo by Cybercomchannel called phototranslator.
A long overdue refactor
For the last couple of weeks, my time on Witter has been spent refactoring the code to be more managable. And hopefully allow easier addition of things like multiple account support.
Maemo : Custom cell renderer for gtk treeview (python)
I wrote a couple of weeks ago a little teaser about writing a custom cell renderer. When I first started witter, I found that a treeview was the obvious way to display tweets. And the available cell renderer was CellRendererText. which took care of the basics. However it didn’t look terribly ‘pretty’
