Geekiest unboxing ever thanks to the Nokia N900
Posted by admin on December 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment
I took some photos of the evaluation Nokia N900 that I received for a 3-month period and it was a typical Nokia retail package. I saw the unboxing video below over on Tracy and Matt’s Blog and think every Nokia geek should check it out. I wish I would have gotten one of these packages to check out and wonder if this will be a package purchase option.

WebKitGTK+ Hackfest – Day G_MAXINT
Posted by admin on December 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Haven’t blogged about the hackfest since the day zero (although others have done a great job ), but I guess I have a good excuse since we have been working all day every day, no time for blogging! A lot of progress was made in many areas, but I can try to give a brief summary: Gustavo and myself focused on fixing the form password saving regression during the first days. We wrote the basic code to hook into the webviews using JSC, store the auth data in the keyring, and refactored the Epiphany codebase a bit to be able to show infobars with the available options when submitting a form, like most browsers do. I know this was one of the most painful shortcomings of the browser for a lot of people, so I’m happy to put it behind us

Amost ready for the next Vagalume release
Posted by admin on November 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Now that the N900 is (almost) here, many people ask me if I’m going to release a new version of Vagalume for Maemo 5. Progress in Vagalume has been very slow this year, partly because of all the work we’ve been doing in Hildon Widgets . Fortunately, the next Vagalume release will be out very soon
