Looking at the feature list for apples latest OS update i finally decided to wait and see first. My brother just got a family license so he will be using. However since i have a first gen MacBook im unsure if it is going to be worth it. The speed increase would be nice but there are mix reports if it will work with my Mac. When its been out a few months maybe I will go and buy one of the cheapest (not including free ones) OS upgrades available.

I followed this guide here

A very good guide to the basic steps for creating a Dream Rom. However as I don’t have a dream there wasn’t a lot i could do after it was built.

Also as the Sapphire config files were not provided so i couldn’t roll my own. So I have attempted to hand crank the config files or find them on my phone.

here are some basic steps to take after you have checked out the source following this guide
1) Copy vendor/htc/dream-open to vendor/htc/sapphire
2) you can delete the files with trout in the name
3) untar the following config files in to the vendor/htc/sapphire
4) Continue with the steps in the guide until you get up to the lunch command. Replace it with
lunch htc_sapp-eng

You should then be able to build the code. I am not saying that these config files are perfect but they should at least get people started.

if there are any mistake or anything missed please let me know.

Right I have been trying uncessfully to build DONUT (the lastest branch of android) for my HTC magic. I successfully got it compiled for the HTC Dream but as I dont own one I cant test it. I will keep persevering.

Why dont more people use twitter as a free cycle portal?

Generally if you add hash tags suchs as #townname and of course #freecycle you will find people in your local area, some of which may be interested. I had a dishwasher I no longer wanted, working perfectly well. I twittered about and within 5mins it had gone, but I’ve had so far 4 requests for more information from people I dont know.

The problem with freecycle is there is no central repository and too many people use it. People generally only read the emails that get sent soon after they have put something on freecycle themselves. (I may be wrong but this is how I deal with the hundreds of emails being received ).

Well there is my two cents,

For more information on freecycle please read here: http://www.uk.freecycle.org

My mobile died, now I’m trying to plan what to get.

Model – Bad – Good

HTC Magic – No physical keyboard, small internal memory – Android, Cheap, Widgets
TouchPro2 – Windows Mobile, Small Internal Memory, expensive – Keyboard, may support android one day
N97 – Expensive, S60 – Keyboard, large internal storage, Widgets

I decided to try and publish my blog for kindle users to download. I dont expect any return from this but it sounded like fun

Lets see what happens im not expecting anything. If you have a kindle, feel free to search for Randomly Designless and let me know if it works.

Well its been a while since I posted.

Just upgraded my wordpress blog, lets see if I notice any different.

There are many reasons for my silence, I got engaged, I had a lot of work on and I pretty much cut down my caffeine consumptions so I no longer do my all night coding sessions.

But hopefully more information will appear on here soon
