Earlier, we have published an article on how to run Google Android on a Sharp Zaurus SL-C760 device. Since there was considerable interest in the article, we have decided to publish some videos of this hack. Check them out on Google Video:
Since this PDA and Google Android were not really designed for each other, don't judge the capabilities of either from these videos :)

After having trouble setting up my selection of CH joysticks to work with X-Plane on my Gentoo Linux based laptop, I did some research. It seems that the issue is a well known one: on 64 bit Linux systems, joystick control events are not passed through to 32 bit applications. And X-Plane is such - a closed source application, available in 32 bit binaries only.
Despite the issue being raised earlier on the linux-kernel list, this was not yet fixed in the kernel. So I posted a patch again, hoping for the best.

Last friday we threw a holiday party with some friends and our fellow geeks from iMind at the wonderfully decrepit Szimpla Kert.

Thank you all for coming. Till next time... :)

The December Budapest New Technology Meetup went on fine yesterday. We had a nice series of presentations, ranging from an android robot to flash streaming server. Moreover, our very own Gergely Kis also had a presentation on the Google Android project.
Now we only have to wait until January for the next Meetup.

Yesterday we managed to get Google Android running on a Sharp Zaurus SL-C760. This seems to be the first documented success with this device. This article provides instructions on how to get it working, in case you would like to try it at home :)
Google Android is a new software stack for mobile devices, specifically mobile phones. It uses the Linux kernel as the core, but Google developed a new user space stack:

This paper presents a method for creating the same MD5 hash for different executables - thus beating the idea of identifying executables by comparing their MD5 hashes to stored values.
