A while ago, I blogged about the impossibility to have a shared agenda between multiple OSes (here, a Linux / OS X dualboot) running local tools. iCal getting slower as my calendar grows made me finally decide to move to GCal and synchronize both

sides client-side. I don't like it, but whatever, at least it works. That was last week, before my screen broke and I sent my computer off for repair to the MacStore (with my calendar still available online, yay!).
Now, I wish I'd done that with my email also, because when the computer came back 2 days later, everything was gone. I had backups of my thesis work (yes, kids, make those - TODAY), but not of my programming (this is a good test to see how much I synchronize with bugzilla / svn) or my email (GMail, here I come...), I mean, seriously, who would've thought they'd remove the Linux partition along with fixing the screen? It means anything I've ever worked on that was not in a svn/cvs somewhere is now lost. Also, patches in progress or under review no longer exist. [Less]

This Friday I'm having a 90 minutes session in LinuxTag: Nokia and maemo in the new GNOME mobile context. This is a lot of time, which is good... and risky too. 90 minutes can be pretty boring even at an international football match or a Hollywood

film with an investment of millions behind.
Theory says I should prepare no more than 30 minutes and then have an open discussion. This is what I'm going to do, so if you are planning to attend this session please come up with questions. You can also fire up here, I will do my best combining live & online feedback.
Sadly I can't attend the whole event but if you want to meet up I will be in Berlin from Thursday midday until Saturday morning. Rumors say GNOME has got a cool booth, see you there. [Less]

1:00 AM. València celebrates with big fireworks, and drivers sound their
horns along Blasco Ibánez. People are happy; we will have our urban
F1 circuit after all. Our city will continue growing and becoming the very best
of Europe. Our

land will continue to be developed, and finally becoming the new
Côte d'Azur, for the great benefit of a few.
The slow but unstoppable process of degrading a culture to something that
can be admired by tourists during Fallas just reached a new milestone.
Welcome to my ex-country. The land of golf, sailing and open-wheel

Look at those cute little devices! All doing Push E-mail with a Tinymail based E-mail client. All at the same time! A Nokia N800, a Nokia 770, my Feisty desktop and a OLPC. Next on the list .. the iLiad and Openmoko?

Just like with the OLPC build I have fixed the builds for GPE and the builds for Maemo with older distributions like Mistral and Gregale (the rootstraps in Scratchbox that’ll compile for your Nokia 770). The build for Maemo’s Bora

rootstrap (for the Nokia N800) and the one for GNOME desktops were of course already functional.
On all these devices and platforms (N800, 770, OLPC, GPE) you can now out of the box compile yourself a Tinymail demo user interface with the latest features. I will bring a few such devices with me at LinuxTag. Although very unfinished, I can demo a recent development version of Modest running on my N800 too. Which, by the way, is becoming more and more useful as fine dog food. The GPE and GPEPhone folks told me they will bring some GPE devices too (it wont take long before we’ll have the Tinymail demo ui running on all of them). [Less]
