A Subtilty in Overlaying Notification Windows on Maemo
I was recently hunting down a slightly annoying usability bug in Khweeteur, a Twitter / identi.ca client: Khweeteur can notify the user when there are new status updates, however, it wasn’t overlaying the notification window on the application window, like the email client does. I spent some time investigating the problem: the fix is easy, but non-obvious, so I’m recording it here. A notification window overlays the window whose WM_CLASS property matches the specified desktop entry (and is correctly configured in /etc/hildon-desktop/notification-groups.conf ).
Why I love the N9 and things I didn’t know about WP7
With last week’s Nokia World and today’s hands-on event in Vienna, I got a chance to try out the WP7 devices and ask questions about them. Here’s some insights that I want to share with you, because they might not be obvious if you haven’t tried WP7 before (I haven’t until last week, and these things were not obvious to me). I’m comparing the Lumia 800 with the N9 here, because they look very similar from the outside
Profiling Python Code
While working on the Woodchuck support in gPodder , I decided to profile the code. Reading the Python manual , I thought it would be as easy as: import cProfile cProfile.run(‘foo()’) On both Debian and Maemo, this results in an import error: Traceback (most recent call last): File ” “, line 1, in File “/usr/lib/python2.6/cProfile.py”, line 36, in run result = prof.print_stats(sort) File “/usr/lib/python2.6/cProfile.py”, line 80, in print_stats import pstats ImportError: No module named pstats To my eyes, this looks like I need to install some package. This is indeed the case: the python-profiler package provides the pstats module.
MWKN Weekly News for Monday, 24 Oct 2011
Front Page Mer-based MeeGo Community Edition now named “Nemo” Carsten Munk , guardian of Mer and a member fo the MeeGo Community Edition Steering Group, chaired an online meeting where the future direction of the MeeGo Community Edition was discussed. Of the minutes, the most immediate change was that it was decided the “new project name is Nemo, non-namespace-clashing usage should be found and slogan.” The name has sea-related connations, but emphasises that despite many of the same people being involved, it's a separate project and should not be seen as “the” Mer distribution and user interface
