I wrote earlier about my experiences installing Linux on an Acer 382TMi laptop, and how I could not acceptably drive both the laptop's internal display and an external screen simultaneously. Thanks to the kind assistance of Alan Hourihane, I have a partial solution now. Read on.

Linux on Acer TravelMate 380
By Osma on Monday 2 May 2005, 17:13
Switched to a new laptop as well, an Acer TravelMate 382 TMi. This is a radical shift from my previous one, being optimized for size in most respects. Only 1.6 kg, with an advertised battery life of 4.5 hours, I will hopefully like carrying this around much more than the Evo. Anyway - read on for notes on its Linux compatibility.

Phone to GNOME integration

Since my new RAZR doesn't have Gammu-compatible IrDA, but does have a "standard" USB ACM connection as well as Bluetooth, I am in search of new solutions for synchronizing my Evolution calendar and hopefully managing my phonebook. This entry is where I'm collecting stuff, hopefully helping someone and even attracting a few helpful comments. Read on, please.

My first day with Moto RAZR
By Osma on Tuesday 26 April 2005, 17:59
I got my new phone, the Moto RAZR V3 today. Pretty sleek, although not necessarily all that much cooler than some new Nokia and Samsung alternatives. In particular, it's not at all smaller than my old (2 years old) Nokia 6610 - thinner but wider and ever-so-slightly heavier. The larger screen makes up for it, though.
