Month: December 2007
It’s been a long time coming but finally 1.1.0 is almost here. The new stuff is: plugins, improved search, opengl output with fancy transition animations, python support, movie collection. ofdb.de support, last.fm support, improved lcd support and new theme. More here (pictures :-)).
I did a small video to show how one can use a nokia 770 (the n800 works even better) together with MMS that you can see here.
Acmelabs did a small video of the opengl plugin in action:
bzr 1.0 out now
The bzr guys just released 1.0 yesterday. Congrats guys! bzr is truly awesome, as in just works, and for the past 1 or 2 years have been been working really good for MMS.

Just finished watching the probably best talk of FOWA again. Watch this brilliant talk, it’s both insightful and funny as hell.
Server almost Ajaxianized
Ole, friend and collegue from iola, released flot today. Flot is a Javascript plot library for jQuery released under the MIT license. The release got mentioned on Ajaxian and brought the server this blog is also hosted on to its knees. Several hours later, out server is now up and running again with lighthttp as a proxy shield in front of the dear apache server that could handle the load 🙂
Check it out if you need some client side web plotting. The graphs are quite nice since they are antialised and with shadows 🙂
Seeing the new os2008 released for the nokia 800 as well I decided that it was time to upgrade my trusty old n770. The n800 has the same hardware as the n810 but is missing GPS and slide-keyboard. I have a GPS receiver from my n770 navigation kit so I thought I would save the 200 euro and still be one generation behind the latest and greatest internet tablet from nokia 🙂 So far I have been more than impressed with the device. The next OS is absolutely amazing. The layout of the new theme is great (much more finger-friendly), the speed is much improved and the keys are much better than my old n770, making it much easier to navigate around in MMS over VNC.
Another great thing is that it now works with my Samsung E800 phone out of the box so no need to use the terrible hack anymore.
