Visst, /usr/local/lib/libtokenapi.so är den skyldige. Följa en andra post här om du vill fixa det, lycka till !

So you want to backup all your bas^H^H google documents ? You may do it manually, but isn’t it more interesting to do it by code ?

GoogleCL has been around for a while, but it’s becoming more stable and interesting as time goes on. Let’s see how to install it first, since the documented way on INSTALL.txt is broken at the time of writing these lines.

Since I do think that spoken languages are just pipes and I use them interchangeably, I’ve recently added a translate tool on the right column to ease readers access contents on my blog.

But sometimes you find yourself reading on some foreign bit of info, like a swedish newspaper… sure, one can easily perform a full translation by just going to google translate, but supposing you’re learning how to use a new pipe, how can you translate that word and integrate it into your vocabulary without losing the focus on the piece of text you were reading on the first place ?

Firefox with greasemonkey together with Google Translator Tooltip, saves the day for me, I hope it’s useful to you as well

Hint: configure it as “detect language” and you have an anti-babel device in just one double click.

If you ever happen to need GPRS “MoBoffice” data connection in India with Airtel.in, keep in mind that after activating your pre-paid SIM-card you should:

1. Send an SMS message to 170 with text PLIVE
2. Dial *148# (toll free).
3. You will be presented a menu with 2 options: select 1, to activate Airtel Moboffice.
4. After 1 hour you’ll receive nearly 6 SMS’s with details on howto configure your mobile.
5. If you use a nokia770, make sure that the GPRS access point is airtelgprs.com and *not* airtelfun.com. Nokia 770 hacker edition has this outdated info by default and will not work out of the box :/

Airtel.in website is hugely undocumented on this aspect, I discovered this details (tricks?) by sending an email to Airtel.in support: 121@airtelindia.com :S

And btw, the tariff at the moment is 30 paisa for each 50KB you use… 100 paisa is 1 rupee, so to check your email and post a text entry on your blog costs you about 1 to 2 rupees… really cheap indeed !

Aquest és un post de proba usant la nokia770+wordpy, un sistema de publicació de posts offline ideal per el viatger

I aquesta és la meva oficina mòbil, no tant virguera com el món de les HTC’s i companyia, però força útil/cómode:
