I recently bought a phone mount for my Audi A6. It is two parts. One part adapted for my car, the other part is adapted for my HTC Desire. The power is taken from a cigarette lighter connector. Stupid fucking retarded connector not designed for this! So my solution is to hack my car and the phone mount (it is not a car mount for my phone… would look kinda stupid to walk around with a car on the phone all day).
Step 1 is to add a powered USB to my dashboard. Step 2 is to snip the cigarette lighter plug and put a USB connector there instead.

Today I have soldered wires to the cable harness on the Symphony head unit. By using the “S” lead I get power when the ignition key is inserted AND turned. The power remains on until I remove the ignition key. So I can turn the motor off and still charge the phone. But when leaving the car (and taking ignition key out) there is no power to the USB port. Just the way I like it.

Got a few new servers at work and man where they massive. HP sure makes great servers. There is a difference in server and desktop hardware. If you’re used to ordinary PC hardware and look at a server it is very much “Russian Space Station *clonk* *clonk*”. Everything is robust and big.

The servers in question are a pair of HP ProLiant DL 585 G5 with 4 QuadCore Opterons and 128GB RAM each. They will do important stuff, I’m sure.

Took some snaps of them too.

First attempt at installing HandBrake 0.9.4 for Fedora 12 on Fedora 13 failed. I checked out the latest source from Subversion and built it to some RPM packages. Seems to work ok.

Check it out at my RPM repository (be kind)

[edit] Updated to svn 3364. Check out my Twitter for more news about this.

Finally… someone looked it up and got it right.

Nu har jag äntligen fått göra en riktig kommunikation med Oliver. När jag gick Djurkommunikation steg 2 hos Susanne så var Oliver så kraftig i sin kommunikation att jag blev överväldigad och fick bryta. Det var tre år sedan. Idag gjorde jag klart kommunikationen.

I have removed Sleezeball, GFXIndex, rmRemote and PPPP. The files are still there to download but the pages never got updated so I eated them.

API Rocks have made a very nice presentation about HTML5. Go read it

I made a booboo and the rewrite-stuff stopped working. Fixed now.

I recently got an HTC Desire with Android 2.1 and I love it. The build quality is solid, the software is awesome. Ok so it’s a relatively new OS so there are not much commercial software available yet. I’d love to see Tom Tom for Android.

This is actually typed on my phone.

It’s raining outside. I do not feel like going out. In fact, I’ve got it so cozy I might stay like this all day, m-kay?

Can you tell that fox terriers have beagle in them?
