Dang’s Weblog

Practically since I got my 770, I’ve been using it as an ebook reader, via fbreader. It’s great, because the screen is high-rez enough to be able to see a fair amount of the page, and it fits well in the hand, in portrait mode, using the +/- buttons to scroll. However, since I updated my firmware image (and therefore lost all my installed programs), I’ve had a problem. I re-installed fbreader, and now none of the buttons work. No scrolling, no fullscreen, nothing. This makes it impossible to use.

Makes me wonder if I’ve managed to hork fbreader? Or maybe the new update broke something fbreader? A quick google search didn’t find anything. For now, I think I’ll try removing my ebooks and trying again, and maybe re-installing fbreader entirely.

Okay, while posting that last post from my Nokia, I tried hitting the “Save and Continue Editing” button on Wordpress, and got an error page from Opera. WTF? It works fine with Firefox and IE. I guess I’ll just have to try one of the alternative browsers available. I wonder if minimo is working yet?

So, yesterday, I bought a new keyboard. It’s a Stowaway bluetooth keybard for my Nokia. Unfolded, it’s the same size as my laptop keyboard, except for the missing number row. You have to hit a function key to get numbers, but it seem to not always work. It doesn’t work at all iin this input box, but it works fine in the xterm. Go figure. Anyway, I’m fairly happy with it so far. It associates easily, with just a keypress, and it’s a lot easier to use than the tap board on screen.
