1. SL-A300 on Allegro

    Today friend sent me a message that Sharp Zaurus SL-A300 appeared on Allegro (Polish biggest auction site). This is the only one model of Zaurus not supported in OpenZaurus.

    Someone want to donate? :)

  2. I really don’t like CVS

    After using BitKeeper (when it has free license), Subversion and monotone each time when I have to work with CVS repository I feel sick. Simple operations takes time — comparing changes need contact with remote repository which sucks especially with SourceForge CVS service (avoid if you can).

    But sometimes there is no other choice ;(

  3. KOffice 1.4.1

    Today I decided to try KOffice 1.4.1 on my desktop as I wanted spreadsheet which can open MS Excel or atleast OASIS OpenDocument files and wont be called “OpenOffice.org Calc”.

    After few hours of compile I started KSpread, loaded OpenDocument saved by OOCalc2 and I got so many error messages in terminal that I decided to skip another release of KOffice.

    Who knows — maybe KOffice 2.0 will be finally working…

  5. broken stylus

    Few minutes ago my favorite stylus fall from table and lost a tip… So I have broken stylii for my c760 ;(

    I was using that stylus since bought collie in February 2004 — when I got c760 I swapped stylii between both Zauruses — tomorrow (or rather today) I will check does Tungsten|E one will match slot in c760.

  6. cpufreq on Zaurus

    Yesterday I did some tests how Zaurus C760 (ARM PXA255 at 400MHz) works with cpufreq enabled kernel (2.6.13-mm1). I have few frequences (100, 200, 300, 400MHz) and modes available:

    • conservative (300MHz)
    • ondemand (autoregulated from 100MHz to 400MHz)
    • powersave (100MHz)
    • userspace (let user set what he want)
    • performance (400MHz)

    OPIE sysinfo benchmarks results:

    Test name 100MHz 200MHz 300MHz 400MHz 400MHz 2.4 kernel
    Integer arithmetics (dhrys) 115814 231669 348554 466092 450248
    Floating point unit (seconds) 15.50 6.42 3.72 2.77 3.11
    Text rendering (chars/s) 152 354 354 633 456
    Gfx rendering (gops/s) 311.17 753.58 860.25 1270.08 1441.00
    RAM performance (MB/s) 8.09, 4.68 22.22, 15.14 31.00, 18.13 48.83, 26.48 25.78, 16.17
    CF card performance (MB/s, kb/s) 16.77, 63.56 25.53, 70.73 30.76, 72.27 48.52, 77.46 not tested

    Notes:

    Results are weird.. RAM performance under 2.4 kernel can be 26 MB/s in one test, 44 MB/s in other, 33 MB/s in another one. Gfx performance also jumps — 1440 in one attempt, 917 in another…

    I cannot test CF card under 2.4 as I do not have pcmcia-cs installed (using pcmciautils under 2.6 kernel).

  7. argh..

    Today I noticed that blog stopped working;(

    I have to add some magic into .htaccess to switch some PHP flags — one of them will be magic_quotes_gpc which suxx.

  8. 4 years of work as PHP programmer

    Today I noticed that 4 years ago I started work at Polnet SA in Wrocław, Poland as PHP programmer. It was times of PHP 4.0.4 when register_globals was normal thing, when using short_tags (< ? ?>) was something which does not bothered me (today it conflict with XML).

    Now portal for which I wrote most of code exist in other form, many sections was removed, not all work — time passed, company died.
