Impressive iPhone applications appearing

July 6th, 2007

It’s only been a week since release, and already a slew of impressive applications are available for the iPhone. One in particular caught my attention, Telekinesis. Here are the steps I used to test it out:

http://code.google.com/p/telekinesis/

Open a terminal window, cd into your Desktop and type:

svn checkout http://telekinesis.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ telekinesis

assuming you have svn installed… if not, first go get the subversion
package here and install:

http://www.codingmonkeys.de/mbo/Subversion-1.4.3.pkg.zip

Now, you need to get the Sparkle framework… an open source package
that applications can use to manage checking for updates to their programs:

http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/files/Sparkle-1.1.zip

Unzip the contents into a folder named “external” on your Desktop.

Make sure you have xcode installed (free download from apple developer
connection), then with the Finder go into Desktop/telekinesis/Mac and
launch the xcode project. Choose Build and Go from the toolbar. It
should compile and run with no problems.

You’re done! It will ask you for a username and password that you
want to use, and to trust a self-signed certificate.

Now, connect to you Mac from Safari on your iPhone, or test it using
Safari on your Mac:

https://machinename:5010/

You can now browse the file system on your mac, view .pdfs, grab a
snapshot from the iSight camera, grab a screen shot of what is
currently on your screen, etc.

This is so cool! Congrats and thanks to the authors!

We are going to see some very impressive applications, heck it’s only
been a week since release. If enough momentum builds, the iPhone could
quickly become the defacto standard for mobile web applications, just like the iPod has for digital music.

Top 8 Things to setup on your new iPhone

July 2nd, 2007

Just got that shiney new iPhone? Here are the top 8 things you should do to get things rolling:

  1. Subscribe to Plaxo. For me, I live in Mac OS X, but I have to work in Windows / Office. To do this, I utilize a virtualized instance of Windows / Office running in VMware on my Macbook Pro. Unfortunately, virtualized instances of operating systems usually have problems syncing phones using USB, and I already have iTunes installed is OS X; I really don’t want another instance installed on Windows.With Plaxo, you simply setup a sync points for places you want to synchronize. For example, I’ve installed the Plaxo client on Mac OS X, and on the virtualize Windows instance. Now, in Mac OS X whenever I add a contact in Address Book or an event in iCal, it automatically appears in Outlook running in Windows. Nice! You can also add sync points for other places, such as LinkedIn. Don’t forget to add m.plaxo.com to your Safari favorites for easy access to your information.
  2. Setup Google’s 411 service as a Phone Favorite. Google offers a FREE 411 service that can save you a lot of money. It utilizes advanced speech recognition which is especially useful while driving. Simply dial 1-800-GOOG-411, speak the name of the town, state, and business name. A list of possible matches will be read back to you. Say the number of the match that is correct, and they will automatically dial and connect you to that business! Sweet!Even better, say “Map It!” and you will receive an SMS messages with a Google Maps link that works with the Google Maps application on the iPhone. From there it’s easy to get turn by turn directions to the location and you can even check for current traffic conditions.
  3. Use Safari to manage your bookmarks. If like most users, even though Safari is an excellent browser, it still pales in comparison to Firefox. I now use Safari primarily to manage and organize my bookmarks for the iPhone as I would much rather type on a real keyboard instead of on the iPhone. For this to work, make sure in iTunes you have enabled synchronization of bookmarks under the Info tab.
  4. Synchronize using multiple computers. Many users have a home desktop machine where they store their iTunes music and videos, and a notebook computer that they use for work that stores their contacts, bookmarks, calendar, etc. With iTunes installed on each machine, it’s easy to pick the data each machine is responsible for keeping synced with the iPhone. On the desktop, pick the playlists and videos you want to sync, and on the notebook, pick the address book, calendar, and bookmarks you want synced. Problem solved!
  5. Keep two sets of bookmarks. As with any new device, the iPhone has some flaws. One of them being the choice of EDGE which is notably slower then newer 3G offerings. But, you can make your life using EDGE a bit snappier by being smart about how you browse the web. RSS feeds typically use less bandwidth then their full page counterparts. So, use the Safari bookmark manager to setup two sets of bookmarks: one for regular websites, and another for RSS feeds. Just like the Safari browser for Mac OS X and Windows, the iPhone Safari browser has a built-in RSS feed reader that pulls down feeds at lightening speeds. Plus, it’s sometimes easier to read the RSS feed on a small screen.
  6. Create a Wallpaper and iPhone album in iPhoto. If you have some pictures that you always want to have synchronized to the iPhone, setup dedicated albums for use with the iPhone. After adding your pictures to the album, use iTunes to select the album to synchronize with the iPhone.
  7. Setup an ebook email account. The iPhone doesn’t allow you to store files directly on the device except for those managed with iTunes. While you can drag and drop PDF files into iTunes, the files unfortunately won’t get synced to the iPhone.So, the next best thing is to email your ebook PDFs and Word documents as attachments to an email account that can be used with the iPhone. Free email accounts from Google and Yahoo offer lots of free space that will help you keep your library with you while on the go.
  8. Leverage free WiFi hotspots when possible. For places that you visit often, make sure to add any free WiFi hotspots that are available to your iPhone. With both EDGE and WiFi enabled, the iPhone will seamlessly utilize the faster WiFi signal when present and will default to EDGE when none are detected.

JDK 1.6.0 and Netbeans 5.5

February 2nd, 2007

The new JDK 1.6.0 is out… don’t forget, to get Netbeans to work correctly with Beryl enabled, you need to edit the netbeans5.5/bin/netbeans shell file and include “export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit” in the beginning. Editing the shell allows the Gnome->Apps->Programming->Netbeans menu item to work correctly.

Macbook Intel Core 2 Duo wireless using Ubuntu?

January 31st, 2007

It appears that the wireless chipset used in the Macbook Core 2 Duo is different from those used in the Core Duos… (which makes sense, as Apple just announced 802.11N support for Core 2 Duo based machines). So, how does one get wireless working under Ubuntu?

Well, the answer is to use ndiswrapper which lets one use wireless drivers desiged for Windows to operate under Linux. The first mistake is to use the version from the Ubuntu repository, at the time of this writing v1.22.  It turns out that v1.33 or higher is needed, so it’s best to go to the sourceforge site and get the latest version and compile yourself.

Next, where does one find a Windows driver that works with this chipset?  Well, doing a lspci command shows the chipset is an Atheros, and it turns out to be the same one used by DLink’s DWA-645.  So, simply go to DLink’s website and download the WinXP drivers for the DWA-645.

Following the installation directions at ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net worked great! I am now surfing wirelessly with Ubuntu on the MacBook!

Good Ubuntu notebook?

January 31st, 2007

So, what is a good notebook that can run Ubuntu well, supports Beryl 3D eyecandy, offers integrated web-cam, decent amount of RAM, larger SATA hard drive (120GB or more) and sports at least a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo?

Well, you could go the traditional route and get a Dell or HP machine, but many of those systems contain ATI graphics which are a pain getting Beryl to work.  Some vendors offer an upgrade option to Nvidia. As for CPU, if planning to run any virtualization apps like VMware / Parallels / VirtualBox, you really want to get a CPU that supports virtualization. Currently, the Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz is at the sweet spot, the cost for anything faster is unreasonable for the minor speed increase you get.

How about all of this for under $1200? No way you say?  Well, you can if you don’t mind finding a good used machine in your local newspaper or via craigslist.org. I just purchased a 1 month old white MacBook, 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 120GB drive, 1.5GB RAM, Mighty Mouse, Superdrive with all the original packaging, etc. for $1150.  No tax. New, this  setup would run $1700 ($1570+tax) at the local Apple store.

I’ve just finished doing a clean OS X install, partitioned the drive with Bootcamp, installed reFit, and installed Ubuntu 6.10 complete with 3D eyecandy using Beryl. The built-in Intel graphics chipset won’t claim any gaming performance records anytime soon, but works amazingly well for the 3D effects offered by Beryl. The other good thing is that there is a very active community working on drivers for webcam support, sleep/suspend, keyboard, etc.

So, do your homework and keep your eyes open for deals on slightly used machines. You might be surprised at what you can find.

Cheap 4GB Sandisk Memory Stick Pro Duo at Fry’s

December 3rd, 2006

Fry’s has a good deal through Dec 5th on memory sticks… $79 after a $20 rebate.

Perfect for use on my Sony PSP… ;-)   Now I’m not dreading those long airplane flights any longer.

Parallels Upgrade and Ubuntu Edgy Eft

November 24th, 2006

Parallels build 1848 has been running WinXP and various Linux installs flawlessly… I’ve been meaning to upgrade to build 1970 as there have been many improvements. Finally, the long holiday weekend presented the perfect opportunity to upgrade.

Ran the uninstaller from the original 1848 build distro, restarted my machine, installed the new 1970 build, restarted the machine again, and everything went without a hitch!  I then booted up a VM instance of WinXP, reinstalled the Parallels tools and that’s it!  Everything is working great; and the networking and overall speed of the virtual instances appear to be a bit snappier.

One thing with Ubuntu Edgy Eft is that the boot splash screens don’t appear like they used to in Ubuntu Dapper.  Turns out to be a simple fix. /boot/grub/menu.lst has to be edited:

line 19: update the timeout to 10

line 23: uncomment the color options

line 85: add boot options “splash vga=792 acpi=off clock=pit”

line 113: add boot options “splash vga=792 acpi=off clock=pit”

All should then be good to go!

Updating CentOS to PHP 5.1.4

November 12th, 2006

Hard to believe most distributions aren’t using PHP 5 by default these days. Anyway, to update CentOS to use the latest and greatest:

yum remove php-domxml
yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php*

Unfortunately, the above steps didn’t quite get me to the version I needed. In PHP I need to use SimpleXML for a project I’m working on, and the 5.0.4 version didn’t have the version of SimpleXML that I needed.

So, I had to manually wget and install the rpm from http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/php-5.1.4-1.centos.i386.rpm. This also worked fine on a Fedora Core 4 system I had to update.
