Thanks for all the kind comments from my last blog. I’ve been continuing on my quest to move my application into the MID environment. To do this, I have made moblin.org my new best friend. By opening the “resource center” page I discovered some guides for getting a development system set up and for porting [...]
Did you know that in 2008 Intel already sold more mobile CPUs than desktop processor? If yes, you can really imagine how important this market segment is for game developers. And that‘s probably one of the main reasons why Steve Hughes and Basher Khan will talk about „Game development on a moving platform“ at GCDC’08 [...]
Newbie blogger here. I’ve been working on a GUI application for MID devices that will call some APIs that are being developed simultaneously. Because it is MID directed, I’m using a Linux OS (Ubuntu 8.04) for the first time in years. My development system is Anjuta IDE and Glade Interface Designer. I started using Gdk+ [...]
Part of the reason I've been so silent recently is because I've been really really busy. (Aren’t we all?) But it also has to do with a short segment I had written on P-states and energy savings. This brief segment outlined a relationship between processor voltage, leakage current, frequency and power. My conclusion was that [...]
There's a nice post about PowerTOP for Solaris by Brian Leonard, describing in a very user friendly way what all of the displays mean. I loved it - really shows the power of the app, and the various cool things it shows you on your OpenSolaris system. The only thing missing from the [...]
With the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) coming in just a few weeks the excitement (and the long hours in the office) grows. One of the key messages at the event will be “Carry Small, Live Large” (CSLL) which is a vision held by Intel for future mobile computers. In a nutshell it is the vision [...]
OSCON has been an interesting run for me today, and I think my brain is full. My focus has been following Moblin and mobile device development, and it has been a mixed bag. The Moblin Camp yesterday was sadly canceled, but there was lots of interesting things to be found in the sessions and on [...]
Yesterday TechCrunch announced they are building their own $200 web tablet, and asked for help doing it. The planned stack so far is to run BSD or Linux, with the Gnome desktop. We will probably take the Gnome Onscreen Keyboard project and adapt that as the primary input device ... there will be Firefox, running in [...]
I'm the community manager for the Atom Software Developer Community, and am going to be at OSCON this week in sunny Portland to educate myself on Moblin, learn more about the Open Source Community, talk to my Moblin focused Intel cohorts, and blog as much as I can. I've always been interested in Open Source [...]
Imagine the posibilities if computers become context aware. Here are a few examples, but this is just a start.
