Skånetrafiken notification

loxley(android) — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:03:41 +0000

Working on a script that will check Skånetrafiken for deviations and cancelled trains. It will then check at regular intervals and pop up a notification on the desktop( if running gnome). The reason why I came up with this idea is because its happened quite a lot that I have left work to be standing on the station for almost an hour or more. I will post it here when its finished.

HTC Desire Wifi and Bluetooth not working

loxley — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 08:10:19 +0000

Oh my! Last week I recieved my HTC Desire that I’d been waiting almost 6 weeks for. So when I finally got it I was thrilled to check it out and test it. I was pretty disappointed when I found out that niether Wifi or Bluetooth were working. I kept getting errors that Wifi couldn’t be started and when trying to enable Bluetooth nothing at all happened. So I phoned the company (tre) that I’d ordered it from and asked them what the hell I should do and I was so angry that we decided they I should send it back and get a HTC Legend instead. Fine…

Well it’s pretty much a downgrade (IMO) to go from the desire with 1ghz processor to the Legend with 500-600Mhz. So I couldn’t really let it go, everything was working except for the bloody Wifi and Bluetooth which I really wanted working. I started to look around for stock ROMS on the net that I could flash it with if there were something at the factory that had gone wrong with the radio. I found this page at theunlockr.com, that has a very good explanation on how to unroot the HTC Desire and that was basicly what I wanted to do with my phone. It was super easy to apply the HTC Desire RUU ROM with the use of HTC Sync, you just need to find the correct one, mine was this one.

Big thanks to theunlockr.com, forum.xda-developers.com and shipped-roms.com for saving my day.

Filesharing traffic levels higher after IPRED

loxley — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:07:51 +0000

I’m not a rocket scientist but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that people wouldn’t stop file sharing just because some idiots came up with a law against it. (Hey Pontén)… So what was thought as a law to prevent people from daring to file share actually turned out to serve no actual purpose. When do they ever learn that some things can never be stopped, because there is always another way to solve a problem.

Here we can see the traffic levels before April 1st last year when IPRED was voted through and how the traffic increased over the year to actually surpass them.

BOSE QuietComfort 3

Today I tested BOSE QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noice Cancelling headphones. The result is amazing, it’s just you and the music and no background noise interfering with the listening experience.

Unfortunately the headphones weren’t mine, but when I get some cash over the first thing I’ll do is get me a pair of these. Really good when you are coding, relaxing or concentrating on something.

Visca Barça

So it’s been proved, the best player at the moment is Leo Messi and the best team is FC Barcelona after winning the Champions League! Manchester United was not even close and was playing like a team from Football League One. By the way, who the hell is Cristiano Ronaldo?

What the fuck were they thinking? Handing over their user data to RIAA. Ok, it was their parent company but what the hell, are everyone bending over to the record companies these days? I’ll clean my profile now and never use that piece of shit again.

Less piracy after IPRED?

loxley — Tue, 05 May 2009 20:05:12 +0000

SVT Kultur reports that piracy has gone down from four to two releases in April after the IPRED law was voted through. EHHH! What sites are you guys on? we-are-mega-lame.com? Come on, get your shit together before posting such crap stats. Pontén is quoted in this article but since he doesn’t have a clue about almost everything I don’t feel that I need to quote what he said in this article. Basicly everything that man says is a bunch of mindless mumbo jumbo.

Attack against the ISPs

loxley — Tue, 05 May 2009 04:41:07 +0000

Monique Wadsted, you’re a fucking idiot. The companies you’re representing have never worked hard to better distribute the music or the movies they produce on the internet. So now your fantastic solution is to force the ISP’s to block access to certain sites, you silly old cow. You never wanted to be part of the internet before, why such a fuzz now? Just fucking accept that you’re 10 years behind when it comes to the technology and the distribution of the crap you release. The beauty with internet is that it’s always been a free forum for people to express themselves, their creativity and thoughts. WE WANT OUR INTERNET TO BE FREE! GET IT?
