<p><span id="more-4907"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Five memory slots to save positions</li>
<li>Compass chip to show north even inside. Not THAT reliable but gives some kind of hint</li>
<li>Shows distance to any of the five stored positions</li>
<li>It doesn&#8217;t show coordinates on screen, only time and date</li>
<li>Walk/Bike/Car modes (5, 15 and 80 km/h I think the manual said)</li>
<li>2x AAA batteries</li>
<li>Is told to work as a GPS antenna (connected over USB to computer to navigate/draw track, exports in EMEA format)</li>
<li>Sirf IV chip, they say but not sure if I believe it</li>
<li>miniUSB slot, cable &amp; software (Track by Starview Software)</li>
<li>backlight</li>
<li>battery and GPS signal strength meter</li>
</ul>
<pre>[ 4883.010028] usb 7-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 4883.408261] USB Serial support registered for pl2303
[ 4883.408396] pl2303 7-1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[ 4883.420176] usb 7-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[ 4883.420198] usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303
[ 4883.420201] pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver</pre>
<pre>Bus 007 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port</pre>
<p>As you see, connecting it to Linux over USB shows it as Prolific PL2303 Serial Port USB adapter and it appeared as /dev/ttyUSB1</p>
<p>To make Wine see the USB serial port, run ln -s /dev/ttyUSB1 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1</p>
<p>I was able to install the program smoothly. It runs but the built-in Google Maps view doesn&#8217;t work. However I&#8217;m able to download the track from the device and save it in .track format. Now when I open this .track format with the app, it gives me the option to store KML and GPX.</p>
<p>However saving in GPX (and KML?) fails and the result is a broken GPX as the program, for some reason, writes coordinates in</p>
<pre>        &lt;trkpt lat="60,921448" lon="27,548304"&gt;</pre>
<p>instead of</p>
<pre>        &lt;trkpt lat="60.921448" lon="27.548304"&gt;</pre>
<p>so search and replace all commas (,) to periods (.) and the tracks start to behave.</p>
<p>A nice device with a decent battery duration, about 10 hours or so on two AAA&#8217;s it needs. GPS track isn&#8217;t that great: most of the time it&#8217;s missing the elevation information and then every now and then it takes me to over 20 kilometers. However it gives easily a nice overview of the route.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kuinka suunnitella reitti fillarilenkkiä varten, luoda sille GPX-jälki ja muokata se järkeväksi. Työkaluina Kevyen liikenteen reittiopas, Google Maps, Kubuntu, Gpsbabel ja Viking<span id="more-4899"></span></p>
<p>Olen lähdössä fillariretkelle ja halusin piirrellä ja suunnitella reittiä etukäteen. Tarvitsin karttapalvelut jotka osaavat piirrellä reitit kevyen liikenteen reittejä pitkin. Pääkaupunkiseudulla selkeä voittaja on <a  href="http://pk.hsl.fi/">Kevyen liikenteen reittiopas</a> josta saa suoraan ladattua GPX-muodossa reitin GPS-tiedot, jopa korkeustiedot ovat mukana. Pääkaupunkiseudun ulkopuolella vaihtoehtoja on huonosti ja paras tulos saatiin kuitenkin Google Mapsilla. Suurin osa reitistä kulkee kuitenkin teiden reunaa pitkin, osasi Google löytää kohtuulliset reitit. Moottoritieltä piti reitti raahata käsin pois (älä käytä &#8216;vältä moottoriteitä&#8217; -nappulaa, se estää reitin tallentamisen!). Tämän jälkeen reittilistauksen voi tallentaa omiin karttoihin ja jotenkin sieltä sitten tallennettua KML-muodossa tiedostoksi.</p>
<p>Nyt otetaan käyttöön <a  href="http://www.gpsbabel.org/">Gpsbabel</a> &#8211; GPS-reittien Victorinox!<br />
<code><br />
#Muutetaan googlen KML-tiedosto GPX-muotoon<br />
gpsbabel -i kml -f fillari2011_osa2.kml -o gpx -F fillari2011_osa2.gpx</code></p>
<p><code># Kirjoitellaan Kevyen liikenteen reittioppaan reitin pisteisiin aikaleimat (alkaen 5.8.2011 klo 16:00:00, kahden pisteen etäisyys 5 sekuntia)<br />
gpsbabel -i gpx -f fillari2011_osa1.gpx -x track,faketime=20110805160000+5 -o gpx -F fillari2011_osa1_ajat.gpx</code></p>
<p><code># Kirjoitellaan Googlen reitin pisteisiin aikaleimat (alkaen 5.8.2011 21:00:00 lisäten jokaiseen pisteeseen 5 sekuntia)<br />
gpsbabel -i gpx -f fillari2011_osa2.gpx -x track,faketime=20110805210000+5 -o gpx -F fillari2011_osa2_ajat.gpx</code></p>
<p><code># Yhdistetään kaksi reittiä yhdeksi aikaleimojen mukaisessa järjestyksessä<br />
gpsbabel -i gpx -f fillari2011_osa1_ajat.gpx -i gpx -f fillari2011_osa2_ajat.gpx -x track,pack -o gpx -F kokoreitti.gpx</code></p>
<p>Tämän jälkeen avaan tuon kokoreitti.gpx -tiedoston <a  href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/viking/index.php?title=Main_Page">Vikingillä</a> joka on mainio GPS-reittien näyttäjä ja muokkaustyökalu.</p>
<ol>
<li>Katkaisen raidan majapaikan kohdalta ja nimeän osat uudelleen: Day1 ja Day2</li>
<li>Lisään reittipisteiksi (Waypoint) suunnitellut taukopaikat</li>
<li>Exporttaan reitin GPX-tiedostoksi joka siis sisältää kummallekin päivälle oman trackinsa ja lisäksi reittipisteinä taukopaikat.</li>
<li>WIN!</li>
</ol>

<p>gphoto2 I&#8217;ve been using to control external cameras over USB doesn&#8217;t work with webcam so I had to find something else and found streamer (that&#8217;s the name of the command and the name of the package in Ubuntu repositories)</p>
<p><code>streamer -o 0000.jpeg -s 1280x720 -j 100 -t 20:00:00 -r 0.1</code></p>
<p>takes 1280&#215;720 resolution images with jpeg quality 100, interval 0.1 images/second (right, this sucks, I&#8217;d like having the option to use fps instead of fsp) until 20:00, and names the images as xxxx.jpg where xxxx is the running number of the image.</p>
<p><code>streamer -o 0000.jpeg -s 1280x720 -j 100 -t 2900 -r 0.05</code></p>
<p>Does the same except doesn&#8217;t care about the clock but takes 2900 shots.</p>
<h3>Cleaning</h3>
<p>I shot around 2300 images with about 33s interval. From these I removed about 1000 images of boring nothing-but-black night shots &#8211; just to make it more interesting to watch.</p>
<h3>Parsing</h3>
<p><code>mencoder -nosound mf://*.jpeg -mf w=1280:h=720:type=jpeg:fps=40 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2160000:v4mv -o movie.avi &amp;&amp; vlc movie.avi</code></p>
<p>1230 images with 40fps results a 45s movie.</p>
<h3>Pros / Cons</h3>
<p>Webcam&#8217;s great as you don&#8217;t run into problems with power. But that&#8217;s about all.<br />
The image quality isn&#8217;t very great compared to 3000&#215;2000 px SLR. The automatic color/exposure/contrast/&#8230; adjustment is bad and doesn&#8217;t allow one to see properly the change of lightning conditions. On the other hand if you want to be sure to see all details what happens somewhere this will do it but so will a &#8216;proper camera&#8217; in automatic mode.</p>
<p>So, if you want..<br />
Long shooting duration: Webcam or normal camera with AC power<br />
Good quality shots or manual settings: normal camera (with AC power)</p>
<h3>Result</h3>
<p>Not really that interesting, just another demo of what can be done easily with Linux + webcam.</p>

Pitäiskö hommat mac tms?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Ensimmäinen kommentaattori heitti että <em>&#8220;Sitä ei ainakaan osaa&#8221;</em>. Toiseksi kommentiksi laitoin osoitteen <a  href="http://www.ubuntu-fi.org">www.ubuntu-fi.org</a>.</p>
<p>Reaktio oli yllättävä: kommentaattoreiksi löytyi kaksi muuta Ubuntua käyttävää naishenkilöä jotka tykkäsivät siitä! Mahtavaa nähdä että Ubuntu leviää tasaisella tahdilla myös tavallisten ihmisten (=ei-nörttimiesten) keskuuteen! Toki he kertoivat että alussa oli Windowsiin tottuneelle ollut hieman opettelua mutta vähitellen käyttöä on oppinut eikö ole koneen kaatuilu ollut ongelmana.</p>
<p>Alkuperäinen kirjoittelija kiinnostui että mikäs tämä Ubuntu on, onko se joku lyhennös undulaatista vai..</p>
<p>Niinpä kirjoittelin lyhyen (?) esittelyn Ubuntusta jonka ajattelin jakaa täälläkin.<br />
Olkaa hyvä!<span id="more-4528"></span></p>
<blockquote>
<h3>Ubuntu</h3>
<p>Ubuntu on käyttäjärjestelmä kuten Windows tai maceissa pyörivä OS X. Se siis hoitaa mm. kaiken jutustelun ohjelmien ja laitteiden välillä (siis kaiken mitä tapahtuu siinä välissä kun käsket mokkulaa yhdistämään verkkoon siihen että se sit sinne yhdistää). Noin karkeesti.</p>
<p>Windows on Microsoftin lippulaiva ja se maksaa rahaa. Myös tietokoneissa, joihin ei erikseen osteteta Windowsia, vaan jossa se on asennettu jo ostettaessa, osa hinnasta tulee tästä Windowsin hinnasta. Windows on se perusjuhta joka löytyy kaikkialta. Sen ongelmia on juurikin monille tutuksi tullut epävakaus eli kaatuilu sekä ajan mittaan hidastuminen kun sinne kertyy jotain &#8216;tauhkaa&#8217;. Myös virukset ovat Windowsin riesa.</p>
<p>OS X on Applen tuote ja sekin maksaa rahaa. Sen &#8216;erikoisuus&#8217; on se, että se pyörii vain Applen omissa tuotteissa, eli niissä mäkkitieskareissa. Apple pyrkii erittäin aggressiivisesti sitomaan käyttäjiä omiin tuotteisiinsa: esimerkiksi uusi iPhone ei lähde henkiin jos käytössä ei ole tieskaria jossa iTunesia ja Apple myös pyrkii juurikin estämään sen, ettei OS X:ää ajettaisi muilla koneilla. Lyhyesti siis tietyissä, suht suurissakin piireissä Applea pidetään epäreiluna pelurina, joka tekee nätin näköisiä tuotteita. OS X on käsittääkseni Windowsia vakaampi eikä viruksista ole riesaa.</p>
<p>Ja sitten on tämä Linux. Jos tarkkoja ollaan, Linux on se, mitä suomalainen Linus Torvalds 90-luvulla kirjoitteli Helsingin Yliopistossa: käyttäjärjestelmän ydin. Sen päälle on rakennettu sitten kokonaisuuksia joita kutsutaan jakeluversioiksi eli distribuutioiksi. Ubuntu on näistä yksi.</p>
<p>Ubuntun starttasi Etelä-Afrikkalainen it-kuplan aikaan rikastunut Mark Shuttleworth. Se iski rahat säätiöön joka tukee Ubuntun kehittämistä. Aktiivisesti mukana on myös Canonical -niminen yritys, jota Shuttleworth pyörittää.</p>
<p>Ubuntu on Etelä-Afrikan bantukielestä peräisin oleva sana ja tarkoittaa juttuja jotka pyörivät yhteisön ja toisten auttamisen ympärillä, kts <a  href="http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(filosofia)">Nelson Mandelan ja Desmond Tutun määritelmä</a> sanalle Ubuntu.</p>
<p>Ubuntu -Linux -käyttöjärjestelmä pyrkii mahdollistamaan tietokoneen käytön tasapuolisesti ihmisille rahan määrästä (ilmainen, nyt ja aina), kielestä (<a  href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~dpm/ubuntu-10.04-translation-stats.html">käännetty kokonaan 29 kielelle, osittain 189 kielelle</a>) tahi osaamisesta (käyttö pyritty tekemään mahdollisimman helpoksi, vaikeinta on juurikin Windows-käyttäjillä jotka ovat tottuneet tiettyihin kaavoihin).</p>
<p>Käytännössä Ubuntu on vakaa (=ei kaadu &#8211; erittäin käytetty internetiä pystyssä pitävissä palvelinkoneissa), helppokäyttöinen, nopea (=ei ruuhkaudu windowsin tavoin), turvallinen (=ei viruksia, ei tarvetta erilliselle palomuurille) käyttöjärjestelmä. Ubuntu-filosofia johtaa myös siihen, että käyttäjäyhteisö on erittäin suopea myös aloittelijoille: forumilla oikeasti uskaltaa kysellä tyhmiä &#8211; ja saa silti fiksuja vastauksia! Toisia autetaan, tehdään yhdessä juttuja.</p>
<p>Katso mitä muut sanovat: <a  href="http://www.ubuntustory.com/">http://www.ubuntustory.com/</a><br />
Ja suomenkielisen käyttäjäyhteisön sivut löytyvät osoitteestan <a  href="http://www.ubuntu-fi.org">http://www.ubuntu-fi.org</a></p>
<p>Nimim: välillä vähän näissä kuvioissa mukana ollut<br />
<a  href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RistoHKurppa">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RistoHKurppa</a></p>
<h3>VALO</h3>
<p>Ai, se piti vielä kertoa että Ubuntu on niin sanottua VALO -ohjelmistoa, eli <strong>V</strong>apaa, <strong>A</strong>voimen <strong>L</strong>ähdekoodin <strong>O</strong>hjelma.</p>
<p>Vapaus tarkoittaa sitä, että sitä saa levittää rajoituksetta. Kopioida kaverille niin paljon kuin haluaa.<br />
Vapaus tarkoittaa myös sitä, että Ubuntun ohjelmia saa muokata vapaasti omiin tarpeisiinsa sopivasti.</p>
<p>Avoimmuus tarkoittaa sitä, että ohjelmien alkuperäiset koodit tarjotaan niistä kiinnostuneille &#8211; tämä on se joka mahdollistaa tuon edellisen vapauskohdan, eli ohjelmien muokkaamisen.</p>
<p>Mikään näistä ei toteudu esim. Microsoftin päätuotteiden kohdalla: Ei Windowsia tai Officea saa kopioida kenellekään, ei niitä saa muokkailla &#8211; niitä ei edes pääsisi muokkaamaan koska lähdekoodia ei ole saatavilla.</p>
<p>Tunnetuimpia VALO-ohjelmia lienevät OpenOffice, Firefox, ja GIMP-kuvankäsittely. Kts esim. <a  href="http://www.valo-cd.fi/ohjelmat">http://www.valo-cd.fi/ohjelmat<br />
</a></p>
<p>Tämän saman vapauden piiriin lukeutuu mm. <a  href="http://fi.wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a>, <a  href="http://librivox.org/">Librivox-äänikirjat</a>, <a  href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">Openstreetmap.org</a> -karttapalvelu. Kts lisää <a  href="http://www.vapaasuomi.fi/">http://www.vapaasuomi.fi/</a></p>
<p><a  href="http://www.vapaasuomi.fi/"></a>VALO on hyvää vauhtia leviämässä myös Tampereen hallintoon: <a href="http://blog.ubuntu-fi.org/2011/valoa-tampereella/">http://blog.ubuntu-fi.org/2011/valoa-tampereella/</a></p></blockquote>

<p>The community saw unfixed bugs and unaddressed issues in the official Maemo5 PR-updates (latest being PR1.3 from October 25, 2010 &#8211; the very same day I got my N900 :) and there were (and still isn&#8217;t) no promises or even indicators from Nokia that they&#8217;d release upgrades to Maemo5 so the community started the work to release community upgrades and fixes on the Maemo core calling it Community Seamless Software Update.</p>
<p>I decided to give it a run. I know it&#8217;s not stable (BE WARNED, it&#8217;s testing, not stable!) but.. as usual, I enjoy living on the edge and had to try it out.<span id="more-4341"></span></p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<p>List of added features and fixed bugs is long, see for yourself. Many fixes a standard user doesn&#8217;t notice at all, but also some quite visible changes, like lots of work put into making more apps work in the portrait mode, faster scrolling, faster and c00ler rotating of the screen. Or how about 9 desktops instead of the default 4? Menu in portrait mode? And many more. For complete list, see the <a  href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Changelog">Changelog</a></p>

<p>(You might want to check the latest, up-to-date installation instruction from <a  href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU#Installation">wiki.maemo.org</a>)</p>
<p>Installation is fairly straight forward but requires many clicks. First take your N900 browser (microB, not Fennec as Fennec doesn&#8217;t talk to the software installer..) to http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU and click the &#8216;install&#8217; button.</p>
<p>At the moment there&#8217;s only &#8216;testing&#8217; version available so don&#8217;t expect it to be safe to try! You might end up losing your data on your N900.</p>
<p>(Rant time..) The Software installer (H-A-M, they call it) is soooooooooo slow. I have no idea what does it do, why do I have to wait for soooo long for it to understand that I need to add a line or two in a file to add the CSSU repository and then run apt-get update to update the package lists and in the end just install the app. I hate it and warmly recommend <a  href="http://maemo.org/packages/view/fapman/">Fapman</a> for all installation needs except the Ovi (or CSSU!?) ones..</p>
<p>Anyway, the software installer asks for you to confirm the actions. Yes, yes, OK, do it and so on. It takes some minutes and then hopefully let&#8217;s you know of successful installation.</p>
<p>After this you need to go to your apps list and find &#8216;Community SSU&#8217; app and start that. It seems to runs some scripts unpacking something, checking for packages in the repositories and then installing more from there. And then it starts the software installer making you wait again. It suggests upgrading of a 2.3Mb &#8216;Maemo 5 Community SSU&#8217; package, version 20.2010.36-2maemo12.5 in my case. That&#8217;s quick.</p>
<p>Then it gives a warning that all apps will be closed and then phone will be restarted and that making backups is recommended. It also shows me the button to make the backups. I thought I&#8217;d dare to install CSSU without backups but now that it&#8217;s made so easy for me.. let&#8217;s do it. Just to be sure.. But limiting only to &#8216;Communication and calendar&#8217; ignoring settings and app list etc.</p>
<p>Next message I got told me to connect the charger. And I did.</p>
<p>Then it started to work. The screen went black, I tried to activate it by opening the keyboard, clicking on the screen, using the suspend button but not much happened (besides the keyboard lights). I had it on for an hour or two. Then I started to ask around at #maemo-ssu for tips and got pointed out that having charger connected prevents the normal reboot process from happening. So I had to shut down the phone manually (power button menu still worked!). And restart. And it works, I didn&#8217;t loose my data and I have CSSU installed! Wrote a note about this to <a  href="http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Installation_FAQ">installation FAQ</a>.</p>
<p>To finish, I installed <a  href="http://maemo.org/packages/view/cssufeatures/">CSSU Features</a>, an app to control the settings CSSU adds to Maemo.</p>

<h3>Experiences</h3>
<ul>
<li>Much more responsive UI! Smooooth!</li>
<li><a  href="http://youtu.be/gtD926wNcYs">Portrait mode menu is great!</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=68512">Blurless desaturation</a> requires a reboot</li>
<li><a  href="http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=63419">Bigger task switcher</a> also requires a reboot. Like this. 2 columns at the moment.</li>
<li>TIP1 from BCMM@#maemo-ssu: Pressing ctrl+shift+blue+l forces the current view to portrait mode. I used this to take portrait screenshots with ctrl+shift+P (that saves them to /home/user/MyDocs/.images/Screenshots/ ) However, this doesn&#8217;t reorganize the menu so all icons will not be shown.</li>
<li>TIP2 via DocScrutinizer@#maemo-ssu, by shadowjk: there&#8217;s a script to check if swap &#8216;reset&#8217; is needed (run it if your N900 has been on for few days and feels sluggish): <a  href="http://enivax.net/jk/n900/reswap.sh.txt">http://enivax.net/jk/n900/reswap.sh.txt</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_4352" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a  href="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Screenshot-20110305-020434.png" class="thickbox no_icon" rel="gallery-4341" title="Blurless saturation: the background is sharp"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4352" title="Blurless saturation: the background is sharp" src="http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Screenshot-20110305-020434-300x180.png" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Blurless saturation: the background is sharp</p></div>
<p>I do recommend CSSU for N900 users (who know the risks of using unstable software :). It gives a great extra boost to the user experience. Scrolling menus is now much smoother than before and the portrait mode works much better than before. Can&#8217;t wait to see what improvements are coming in the future releases..</p>

<h3>Video</h3>
<p>Have you tried it?</p>
<p>EDIT: By accident I found out that pressing a key from keyboard in application menu starts an app. I then went and asked about what&#8217;s the logic, and was pointed to this: <a  href="http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/repo/Modified_Hildon_Desktop.html">modified-hildon-desktop</a> that&#8217;s installed with CSSU. Great keyboard shortcuts and settings listed there. Summary of the most useful shortcuts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Left and right arrows change desktops in the home screen</li>
<li>Icons in the launcher and task navigator can be selected by pressing corresponding keys. In the task navigator, if the letter is pressed with shift or FN, the corresponding task is closed, instead of switched to.<br />
Examples of how the key work:</p>
<ul>
<li>q selects leftmost icon in top row.</li>
<li>w selects second icon from left in top row.</li>
<li>t selects fifth icon from left in top row.</li>
<li>s selects second from left icon in second row.</li>
<li>z selects leftmost icon in third row.</li>
<li>v selects fourth icon from left in the third row.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Some keyboard shortcuts that I think are still missing &#8211; this was already discussed on #maemo, let&#8217;s see if something happens..</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Backspace in task switcher could take one to desktop (as backspace in app list takes one to task switcher)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">ctrl+backspace (or enter?) in task switcher could take one to app list (as ctrl+backspace takes one from desktop to task switcher)</span></li>
</ul>
<p>I also noticed that I can&#8217;t take a photo while speaking on the phone for some reason.</p>

<p><code>void setup() {<br />
// initialize the serial communication:<br />
Serial.begin(9600);</p>
<p>//Precompiler fills in __DATE__ and  __TIME__<br />
char compiledate[] = __DATE__;<br />
char compiletime[] = __TIME__;</p>
<p>//Time for you to start your serial monitor<br />
delay(3000);</p>
<p>//Printing date one char at the time<br />
for(int i=0;i&lt;strlen(compiledate);++i){<br />
Serial.print(compiledate[i]);<br />
}</p>
<p>Serial.print("  ");</p>
<p>//Printing time one char at the time<br />
for(int i=0;i&lt;strlen(compiletime);++i){<br />
Serial.print(compiletime[i]);<br />
}</p>
<p>}</p>
<p>void loop() {</p>
<p>/* your main program */</p>
<p></code></p>
<p><code>}</code></p>
<p>Works great!</p>
<p>Also check RTC</p>

<li>I started a <a href="http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Community-supported-seeds">wiki page</a> to list seeds you can try. <a  href="http://www.openlinkup.com">Openlinkup.com</a> seems to be a nice working seed, you can find me there with nick rhk.</li>

<p><a  href="http://www.joindiaspora.com/">Diaspora</a>, the privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all, open source social network (project) has now released it&#8217;s source code, as expected. HURRAY!!!!!!</p>
<p>Read more at <a  href="http://www.joindiaspora.com/2010/09/15/developer-release.html">Diaspora Blog</a>.</p>
<p>I was able to register to one of the installations people have made today, and this is what it looks like. There&#8217;s actually not very much to see, that&#8217;s why there&#8217;s only three screenshots. You can add friends but you can&#8217;t see their statuses unless you send them the URL of the status.<del datetime="2010-09-16T19:40:46+00:00"> Can&#8217;t add photos or anything else.</del></p>
<p>UPDATE: Adding photos works, the instance I first tried was a somewhat broken installation.</p>
<p>So this is the first developer release! Can&#8217;t wait for alpha, beta &amp; stable releases!</p>
<p>If you want to try, go to one of the official test instances listed at <a  href="http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions">FAQ</a>. Remember that they are wiped every now and then without warning!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been recently playing with GPS devices on Linux (for example <a  href="http://www.i-gotu.com/">i-gotU gt-120</a>, and the <a  href="https://edge.launchpad.net/~igotu2gpx/+archive/ppa">linux software to download tracks</a>). I&#8217;ve also been discussing gps+heart rate data storage options. The obvious choice is (ex-Nokia) <a  href="http://www.sports-tracker.com/">Sports Tracker</a> and it didn&#8217;t even cross my mind that you could do something like this with local Linux software.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s useless to ever think like that &#8211; you&#8217;re surprised with the variety of apps that are available and developed for Linux.<br />
I bumped to this blog post on <a  href="http://planetkde.org/">Planet KDE</a>: <a  href="http://blog.volker-lanz.de/2010/07/28/sports-activity-tracking-app-the-baby-needs-a-name/">Sports Activity Tracking App: The Baby Needs a Name</a>.</p>
<p>And it looks awesome.</p>
<p>Reading the comments I found some other apps that do more or less the same, and Google gave me even more. So here&#8217;s just a quick list of GPS / HRM apps you might want to have a look if they&#8217;d be useful for you:</p>
<ul>
<li><a  href="http://blog.volker-lanz.de/2010/07/28/sports-activity-tracking-app-the-baby-needs-a-name/">Then Unnamed / Kardio / Kilometer / &#8230;</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.saring.de/sportstracker/">Sportstracker</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.saring.de/polarviewer/index.html">Polarview</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://code.google.com/p/sonicread/">Sonicread</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/polarscope/">Polarscope</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pytrainer/">Pytrainer</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/viking/index.php?title=Main_Page">Viking</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://edu.kde.org/marble/">Marble</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.foxtrotgps.com">FoxtrotGPS</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.opendmtp.org/article/webserv/">OpenDMTP</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://blog.sarine.nl/gpx-viewer/">GPX viewer</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.gpsbabel.org/">GPSBabel</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.qlandkarte.org/">QLandkarte M/GT</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://opengts.sourceforge.net/">OpenGTS</a></li>
<li><a  href="http://www.maps-gps-info.com/fgpfw.html">and the list goes on&#8230;.</a>So far I&#8217;ve been using GPSBabel to convert and Viking to analyze and clean the data, but now I might find some new neat tools&#8230; I don&#8217;t have a HRM, only GPS (Openmoko Freerunner), so I&#8217;d like an app to be able to visualize the track on (OpenStreet)Map like Viking does, but then maybe also somehow store the tracks. It&#8217;s a pain to have hundreds of GPX files in folders, some kind of tool to search would be neat. Maybe <a  href="http://www.kphotoalbum.org">KPhotoalbum</a> will some day be extended to manage any data, not just photos and videos :)A great place to discuss free GPS software is the <a  href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS-GPS">FOSS-GPS</a> mailing list, you&#8217;re welcome to join!
<p>Do you have any experience on some of these apps? What features they miss? What&#8217;s the coolest thing they can do?</li>

<blockquote><p>tangogps is an easy to use, fast and lightweight mapping application for  use with or without GPS. (tangoGPS web site)</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>FoxtrotGPS is an offshoot of Marcus Bauer&#8217;s excellent       <a  href="http://www.tangogps.org/">tangoGPS</a> application,       with a focus on cooperation and fostering community innovation. (FoxtrotGPS web site)</p></blockquote>
<p>And it&#8217;s all GPL&#8217;d (read: &#8216;free &amp; libre open source software&#8217;). Read the full <a  href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/foss-gps/2010-April/000235.html">announcement  on FOSS-GPS mailing list.</a></p>
<p>Nothing much to add to that. Now go &amp; check <a  href="http://www.foxtrotgps.org/">http://www.foxtrotgps.org/</a>, subscribe to the <a  href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/foss-gps/">FOSS-GPS mailing list</a>, join the #foxtrotgps IRC channel and let your ideas, contributions and wishes flow! I&#8217;d expect the first release to be out soonish so have your Ubuntus, Freerunners and eeePCs ready!</p>
