Ubuntu preparation for Scratchbox

I use Scratchbox to setup an environment for developing for my Nokia N810. I have created a small script to setup few system variables to get Scratchbox working.


sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled"
sudo sh -c "echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_add"
sudo sh -c "echo 4096 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr"


I am back ....

OK, so I am back and lots have changed during the last ... Uhm ... Let me ... 3 months? Yes, is is sad but true.

I am writing this from my Nokia N810 and I must say that along with the switch I am very happy with all this.

What do I use an why? The first three are here.

MaemoWordPy to write blog posts like this one. This is one of the biggest advantages of the tablet - is is instantly ready for use.

Mauku to microblogging on Jaiku and Twitter. I am a fan of microblogging as an alternative to instant messaging.

Pidgin for instant communication with friends. I will write few words about the difference between IM and u-blogging.
