I just have changed the “Photos” page. It load albums from google’s picasaweb through atom feeds. This page allows photo navigation, so I would call it a photo gallery. I plan to put the code behind into a wordpress plugin, so it’s not ready. Please report any issue…It helps me a lot.

Android [ part 1 ]

Google has recently released Android – the new open source operating system and software platform. This has been developed by Google and others as part of the Open Handset Alliance, which has over 30 partners supporting it. The goal of this ambitious initiative is to spur innovation in the mobile space and accelerate improvements in how people use the Web via cell phones.

But there is no mobile device on the market able to support this technology. The first Android-based phones should hit the market in the second half of 2008. The platform will be made available under Apache 2 license giving a lot of flexibility to those who adopt it to modify its components and design services and products.

To motivate developers to adopt Android platform, Google has launched the Android Developer Challenge, which will provide $10 million in awards for great mobile applications built on this platform. As submissions start on January 2, 2008 and last until on March 3, 2008 (for the first challenge) I thing I’ll start learning something more about this platform and maybe participate. There seams to be nothing to loose…

Huge fonts in Ubuntu 7.10 after a fresh install

This days I had to reinstall Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon on my laptop but I encountered some problems. Must be mentioned that this issue didn’t come up neighter in 7.04 nor in 7.10 after upgrade.

The problem was that huge fonts were displayed on each window’s title bar (even during install process) and in the login window textbox.

The solution came from ubuntuforums

sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

Find in this file the section

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
-command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0

and change it to

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
-command=/usr/bin/X -br -audit 0 -dpi 96

It solved my problem with Gutsy Gibbon .
