john robert boynton: ipaq 3800 Linuxlicentious radio(Untitled)- August 25, 2002 Fixed two bugs in the cgi text buffer script I linked to a few days ago. The previous version wouldn't delete the previous contents of the text buffer. The new version also uses the correct hostname variable. The update is at the same url: text_buf.pl Please contact me if you find bugs.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/08/25.html#a669 (Untitled)- August 24, 2002 For my next trick.... I took my ipaq 3800 and stowaway keyboard up to LinuxWorld. An HP guy went through the steps to get the keyboard working, and it wouldn't. Then he tried to get it working on one of his 3800s -- installed the driver, went through all the steps.... Didn't work. So the next trick is to go back to the ipaq mailing list and ask again.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/08/24.html#a665 (Untitled)- August 20, 2002 Wrote a little cgi script that works as a clipboard-like text buffer on a web server. I find it useful as a way to copypaste between computers. Only use it on an intranet -- protected from potential attacks. text_buf.pl Please contact me if you find bugs. I apologize in advance if you look at the code; it wasn't meant to be pretty. If you use Windows you could try out my clipboard microserver, which reads and writes the Windows text copypaste buffer from a single-purpose web server. I found.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/08/20.html#a640 (Untitled)- August 17, 2002 Spent some time at LinuxWorld this week. Here are some random impressions. Big companies took up the floorspace. IBM, Sun, HP. Oops. That's all the big companies that are left. (Ha, ha.) Looking around, there were lots of "suits" -- not wearing suits, of course. The intense discussions were about big hardware sales. The second day I was there I looked harder for fun stuff. Happy Hacker keyboards were there. KDE and Open Office were there. The folks that have Microsoft Office running on Linux..http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/08/17.html#a625 (Untitled)- August 6, 2002 More Stowaway.... Before I left for vacation, I reverted to Wince. The keyboard worked, but required frequent rebooting. I emailed Targus support, and they wrote back (promptely) that ActiveSync grabs the serial port, and so you have to reboot after that. This is to say that my hardware is known to work, and the Wince reboot problem is handled in the normal setup under Linux. So why doesn't my keyboard work under Linuxhttp://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/08/05.html#a569 |
