a cosmological pedestrian
I’ve recently bought a Garmin Fenix Multisport Smartwatch. The watch offers support for navigation and maps. By default it came with some topo maps for Europe. However I wanted to use more detailed maps from OpenStreetMap. After some search I’ve discovered the wonderful Freizeitkarte project, which is a project to offer maps for Garmin devices. The default maps work OKish on the device. However as...
After Qualcom released new graphic blobs for ARMv6 I was able to get CyanogenMod 9 working on my HTC Wildfire S pretty well. There are still some problem which need to be fixed. GPS isn’t working, if you have GSM/3G turned on the battery drains pretty fast. I’m currently trying to get the camera working. There is also a wakelock bug with bluetooth in the...

Maybe they just have a table which defines which mice come with which receiver and then try some commands. If it fails it is mouse X and if not it...

For the main features of these new mice we have already proof of concept code but some features aren’t suppport. I still don’t know how they identify a cordless mouse connected to a receiver. The MX Revolution and the G7...
I’ve finished my diploma thesis (more about this later) and started to work on lomoco again. lomoco can configure vendor-specific options on Logitech USB mice (or dual-personality mice plugged into the USB port). Since there are some places where you can find code to control Logitech mice, I decided to write a shared library. We will provide a command line client to configure your mouse....
