Whipped up a small notes application like the one we used to have on our Palm pilots (memo pad?). All I needed was a quick way to write “eggs, milk, cheese and apples” and run to the store. My fingers are too fat for the Hero’s on screen keyboard to type fast.
I put in onto Gitorious.org, planning to release it under the Boost license, as it is one of the free’est I know of… compile it yourself or grab it from the Android market, it is currently in beta.

Trenger et ekstra soverom… 
Var på ferie i London hvor vi tok endel bilder, dessverre lånte en full dame kameraet og formatterte minnekortet. Søkte litt rundt på nettet og prøvde noen freeware-programmer for Vista (ja uff…), kom over dette kjekke programmet og det fikk ut alle bildene igjen! Helt gratis! Wohoo! Og her sitter vi i Hyde park:

Endelig noen som har skjønt det … å kjøpe flaskevann for 20 kr flaska når man, i alle fall her i Norge, kan fylle flaska med like bra eller bedre vann fra springen er galskap! Slutt!
Slashdot today had a cool entry on real walking in virtual reality. Looks like an important component of the upcoming holodeck I’ll have in the basement of the house we might buy one day… they had hidden a video on the site (http://www.cyberwalk-project.org/):

So I had to have a go myself, since it is Friday at work and stuff, unfortunately Torstein ruined the whole picture.
So the Del Sol is for sale, it’s a bit sad, but it’s time for something newer and bigger. It runs well and is great here in the city center, no parking slot too small

We just bought some surround sound for our living room, so I wanted to get surround sound out of my Amilo laptop – digitally. My motivation was to play avi (XviD/DivX) files with AC3 sound. Ofcourse that took about a day of hard work, so to spare other people from the trouble, here is my recipe for success:
1. The S/PDIF output is hidden inside the 3.5 headphone port. It is optical, get one of these: http://www.biltema.no/products/product.asp?iSecId=535&iItemId=89253 and a toslink cable or one of these:
http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?dok=9375.htm, or get one of those I got (from Siba), which is either in both ends (but they break VERY easily!)
2. Open your sound card configuration, on my Amilo laptop, that is a blue icon with some sound waves on in in the taskbar. In the S/PDIF-out tab, select ”Output digital only” to enable optical S/PDIF output.
3. Install AC3Filter from here: http://ac3filter.net/ and the other video codecs you need to play the file.
4. Get Windows Media Player (from M$), I could not make it work in any other player, not even Media Player Classic, my favourite, for some reason.
5. Now onto the part that took me all evening – Open up the AC3Filter codec’s configuration menu, select your speaker configuration under “Output Format”, and check the “S/PDIF” checkbox. Then under the ”System” tab, choose ”Use Wave Out by default“. I got no idea why, got it from a forum somewhere… Maybe someone can explain this to me?
6. Open the file in Windows Media Player, and you should have digital surround output, given that the video file
you open have multiple channels wrapped in AC3. Note that it is quite common with 2-channel AC3 audio on avi-files,
and that is not what you want.
