Kernelreloaded uses Rihanna WordPress theme by Kineda, and I really love it.
 
One thing I still didn’t change from default is the was it displays posts. Currently no matter which page you are on title doesn’t change, and if you bookmark it you will get only blog name not the post name in the title :(
 
I checked the source of the theme and found the culprit in header.php and the default code is:
title ?php bloginfo('name'); ? /title
 
Because of some protections you can’t see full code on my blog, but check out examples at wordpress wp_title blog and how to change it.
 

 
I have 2 year old smart phone (iPhone 3GS) and mine 2 year contract is almost over, so I’, looking at my options for upgrade for next two years.
 
I really like playing with gadgets but I’m also cost concious, so I’m looking at TCO (total cost of ownership) of my next device.
 
I’m not willing to pay over 200 kn (36$ or 27€) per month for my contract, so these are my options:
 
Samsung Galaxy S2:
T-Mobile with 150 kn contract – handset 2298 kn + 2 year TCO = 5898 kn
VIP with 200 kn contract – handset 1999 kn + 2 year TCO = 6799 kn
 
Apple Iphone 4S 16GB:
T-Mobile with 150 kn contract – handset 1998 kn + 2 year TCO = 5598 kn
VIP with 200 kn contract – handset 1699 kn + 2 year TCO = 6499 kn
 
Maybe our legislative should make it mandatory for everybody to show TCO prices because that is what we pay for.

Projekt Otvorena mreža Osijeka podržava udruga Osijek Wireless, no projekt ne pripada isključivo udruzi niti ga udruga želi zadržati samo za sebe. Ovo je projekt svih građana i tko god želi može se uključiti u njega. Ishod i uspjeh ovog projekta ovisi o cijeloj zajednici.
 
Jedan je od najvažnijih ciljeva napraviti platformu koja će biti otvorena za razne druge aktivnosti – od pristupa internetu za turiste i građane i omogućavanja besplatnih telefonskih razgovora unutar mreže do postavljanja senzoričkih platformi za mjerenje bilo koje vrste podataka (temperatura, buka, padaline, i dr.), postavljanje web kamera i sl.
 
Jednako važan cilj ovog projekta jest i edukacija mladih kroz besplatne radionice, a u području novih tehnologija poput rada računalnih žičanih i bežičnih mreža, Linux operativnog sustava, mikroelektronike, programiranja i dr. kroz besplatne edukacije, koje će započeti u rujnu ove godine. Svi koji žele moći će se upoznati s osnovama rada bežičnih mreža i Linux OS-a te kako projekt Otvorena mreža Osijeka radi s tehničke strane.

I have an older Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 with Tomato firmware. Although I’m a hardcore Linux geek I never used OpenWRT, yeah, I know – shame on me ;)
 
OpenWRT wiki has installation instructions that explain how users should first install 2.4 linux kernel based image, set some nvram options, and then install or update to latest 2.6 based firmware image, but WIKI has no links how to do an update.

Our local Linux Users Group in my home town of Osijek has started workshops called knowledge exchange in partnership with our public library. So first step was to install Fusion Linux Fedora Remix on their PCs.
 
Are there other examples with Fedora being rolled out in public libraries or in some other public institutions? I would be really interested with their experiences.
 
In my example there are 6 PCs that are used by any member of library, usually those are primary and high school kids. They come here and most of their activities are watching youtube, logging onto facebook and playing flash games.
 
Their primary OS is Windows XP with Windows SteadyState enabled. I found out that they decided to use Windows SteadyState because they had problem monitoring kids and they would leave p2p apps running and downloading music and video files and come back a day later with hard drives to save them onto. Obviously that is not what they want kids to do so by enabling Windows SteadyState any files downloaded are erased by reboot. This policy probably also removes most virus issues, both because kids don’t plug any usb devices and because any changes are erased.
 
First issue I came across was that Anaconda installed and GParted wouldn’t resize single windows ntfs partition because there were some errors on hard drive. I tried logging into Administrator account and running chkdsk /f but that didn’t help, even with option that Windows SteadyState merges changes. I didn’t want to disable Windows SteadyState so I reverted to boooting of Windows live CD and running chkdsk /f from repair console. That fixed the issues on all machines.
 
I didn’t have good experience with Anaconda ntfs resize so I used GParted to resize ntfs partitions. GParted worked perfectly on all machines without issues.
 
After installing Fusion Linux I did these post install tweaks:
* Change grub entry “Windows XP” from “other”
* Change grub entry to Fusion Linux 14 from Fusion Linux 14.1 (2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686)
* Put 10 seconds wait in grub menu
* Enable automatic login
* Disble screensave password lock
* Enable automatic updates
* Put Firefox, Chromium and Teeworlds icons on desktop
 
What would be best way to enable “Windows SteadyState” equivalent in Fedora? Brute force way would be a simple script that deletes all files in user home folder. Are there some more subtle ways? And how to make some changes permanent while making all other changes transient? Using unionfs seams like a bit of a overkill… Any suggestions are welcome.
 

 
You would expect that Google will use Android@Home protocol in it’s Android@Home demo [1], right?
 
Well it looks like Google got caught cheating. It looks like Google has actually used equipment from Synapse Wireless [3] and their protocol called Snap [4], and not their own, in-house developed Android@Home protocol.
 
Why did they do that? My guess is that they have limited developer resources who could code such a complicated protocol and wanted to do field survey how would press, other companies and general public react before they pored expensive development hours into questionably interesting product.
 
Nice try Google, but it is still cheating.
 
I would like to share comment from LinuxMCE [5] (most advanced smart home solution and it runs in Linux) forums by Darren:
 
“Interesting…. but Google would have to buy it and open it up a bit more for it to provide a real alternative.
From the Synapse website “Synapse Wireless Inc. provides patented hardware and software technology that helps tie together devices for remote monitoring and control.”
So in terms of an application layer free of patents – not at the moment. But perhaps Google will but the company, open source the stack and donate the patents to one of the open consortium’s.
We’re still in for a bit of waiting it seems.”
 
I really hope that either Google buys Synapse Wireless and releases it’s patents to one of open consortium’s or does so with their own (hopefully in development) Android@Home protocol.

Za uvod u ovaj članak potrebno je pročitati tekst u Glasu Slavonije s naslovom “Do kraja 2012. bežični internet u cijelom Osijeku”
 

Prosječnom građaninu se neće činiti ništa čudno, no onome tko je upućen u telekomunikacije odmah će biti jasno kako u članku napisano dosta nelogičnosti.
 

Za one koji me ne znaju prvo bih se predstavio te kako bih objasnio odakle meni autoritet pisati na ovu temu. No prije svega kratak uvod u priču.

Every few months it’s same story again – I need to update my iPhone IOS firmware to new release because there are some cool new features, some new apps just won’t install without latest IOS or iPhone just became to crashy and unreliable that it needs a clean reinstall.
 
Sometimes update is done in mobile shop that some of my friends run and sometimes I do it myself. Because I do it so rarely I forget some of limitations set by Apple.
 

1. Upgrading IOS

- You can’t upgrade to any other but the latest IOS released by Apple.
- this bit me two times as I saw that latest IOS had some thing that I didn’t like to I tried to install to some other that latest version. This is just not possible.
 

2. Downgrading IOS

- You can downgrade only to IOS firmware that you had previously installed, jailbroke and saved shsh blobs from
 
So you can install only latest firmware released by Apple, your current one or previous ones that you have saved SHSH blobs from. Period.
