I’ve upgraded my Gutsy to Hardy and everything was nice until I noticed Banshee was playing but no sound was heard. This bug reminded me when I installed Gutsy first time, I tried the same solution but didn’t work, however I decided to re-read the wiki and the ALSA configuration to try new arguments:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m26

It worked. By the way I like the Clock update:

MonoHotDraw Commands

Here’s a small example about the commands implementation on the MonoHotDraw framework.

Update your repository and execute:

make && mono dbapplication.exe

Be aware this a preview implementation, there a lot of bugs to be fixed related to those new commands.

Despite having acting like marathon runner I couldn’t depart on the scheduled time because the previous flight arrived too late at Houston, so waiting like 12 hours was the only solution to depart on 9am and then wait another 2 hours to finally arrive at Veracruz.

Spending time at the airport wasn’t funny at all, at least I ate fruits cocktail and drunk a cup of coffee.

However, this trip let me meet all the a11y team which will be implementing the Accessibility API on Mono on the following months. Great experience.

And I brought a new friend:

Twittering

english — Tags: , — @ 14:34

Nokia 770 doesn’t have (right now… or I haven’t found it) a user-friendly client for twitter and for some unknown reason you can’t post through the twitter web page. After googling I found a website that includes a list of twitter clients. mitter seems to be in the future the default twitter client because their plans include to port to Maemo and use Hildon, but not now; so if you are planning to post from your device then you have to figure it out.

Finally, after trying I found a solution by using the power of vim and its plugins, of course you will need to install vim and curl packages in your device to allow twittering from it.

By the way, don’t forget that the BACK button (the button below the arrows left the screen) in your device acts as ESC key.

Update 2008-03-07: If you add the twitter user to your gtalk you will be able to twitter by sending him messages, nice isn’t it?
