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.

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.

It’s an amazing feeling when you get home, no matter how your day was, there’s always one little guy at home happy as hell to see his dad.

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.

Regarding the ASRock ION 330 I must say that it’s a wonderful piece of computer, so small in size but so much under the “hood”. Go buy one!

To get the key events just use acpi_listen and press down FN+F5, it will output something like this:

sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010 (key combo pressed)
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b (key combo released)


And when pressing FN+F6 we get this:

sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000011 (key combo pressed)
sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 0000003b (key combo released)


These events we’ll put in sony-brightness-up/down and my down script looks like this:

event=sony/hotkey SNC 00000001 00000010
action=/usr/bin/nvclock -S -12


I’m using nvclock because when using smartdimmer the intervals where just to low when dimming. I put a interval in nvclock of -12 which is reasonable. That’s it!

Some researchers are experimenting with a new way of detecting the presence of a laptop user using sonar technique. The goal is to shut off the display direcly when the user leaves the computer, compare that to the slow way of reading timeouts from mouse and keyboard.

With 158 votes to 153, the changes to the wiretapping law which will enable the civil agency (FRA – Defense Radio Agency) to snoop traffic crossing the Swedish border, was today voted through in the Swedish parliament.

I wasn’t expecting any other outcome than this because the current government is a bunch of idiots. All we can hope for now is that the opposition (S, V and MP) will win the next election and that they’ll go through with their promise of tearing up the law.

Atleast I’ll know where to put my vote and I hope all of you out there knows too. I don’t want my children to grow up in a society that monitors and controls every footstep and action you’re taking.
