gPodder running in the MeeGo Handset UX for N900

I wanted to try out gPodder on it to see how far I could come without any coding… It was quite easy to get things going: Download the image , dd it to a MicroSD card, boot the kernel ( detailed instructions ) and set up USB networking .

I thought I would walk to the Collabora party from the conference. It was four miles, a pleasant walk. On the way I had to stop to write a sonnet. If anything should happen to The Hague, if someday they abandon Amsterdam, philosophers will take these strange and vague descriptions, and derive each tree and tram by mathematical necessity: should nations shake their fists across the seas with words of war, it follows there must be a middle ground, a people loving peace. And is this scrap alone a netherland?
