I was at home this holiday, with the family enjoying the Thanksgiving Holiday. I was messing around with stuff on my netbook and realized I wanted files from my desktop back in my apartment. Only problem was — I have no idea what my IP is back there (I moved recently). I’m also too [...]

Making wifi work for an Asus 1201T (realtek 8192)
I have been debugging lately with Matt Price over on Launchpad an issue with a machine using the r8192se driver would periodically crash with a kernel panic. We have narrowed it down to an ioctl which is most commonly run by the command “iwpriv”. A quick fix hack is to just entirely neuter the iwpriv [...]
Sync Multiple Calendars on the Nokia N900
I recently moved to a different corporate infrastructure (you can guess from where to where by reading a bit about the company I work for, Invite Media ) and decided that I was going to be serious about using the calendar on my Nokia N900. I had the following “desires”: The Problem: Work and Pleasure should be [...]
A UPnP Home, Step 2
Part 1. Ordering a hardware UPnP-AV Renderer The Vera I ordered in “A UPnP Home” was to act as a bridge between UPnP and appliances around the house. This still left my AV needs somewhat unfulfilled as most UPnP capable devices are UPnP consumers, but do not offer themselves up as fully fledged renderers (AVTransports). [...]
PyGI 0.5.1 Released
Hello, About 3 weeks have passed since the initial release of PyGI. Since then we have seen a significant bump in activity in #pygi and also several new contributors. A big thanks to John (J5) Palmieri for his continued efforts to test PyGI with his applications and drive development forward, as well as Tomeu Vizoso [...]
A UPnP Home
Since Zhaan made it into extras-devel I have gotten several feature requests for new functionality. Many of them have made sense and I have gone ahead implemented them in the latest version. For example, Zhaan 0.1-8 implements vastly improved playlist support. Zhaan is now at the point where I have found myself actually using it [...]
Zhaan now available in extras-devel!
Myself and the PyMaemo folks have been working these past few days to clear the blockers from making PyGi work on maemo. There was a last minute bug in the Maemo autobuilder which prevented PyGi from properly being imported into the maemo extras repository. (Turns out the bug was caused by the fact that [...]
PyGi version 0.5, the ‘Watch out, theres a Volcano!’ release
(Special note for this version of the release statement on this blog — All the features Zhaan needed made it into the release, hence Zhaan is 100% compatible with PyGi 0.5) It is my pleasure to bring to the world the first release of PyGi – the Python GObject Introspection bindings – version 0.5. We [...]

Among them includes The PyGi test suite runs with only two out of 200 failures under Python 3 Callback support (including scoping and primitive argument/error support) landed in PyGi master Working vfunc support, to be pushed soon Working nullable argument support, [...]
Gnome/Python Hackfest 2010 – Day 2, or: How to actually coordinate packages.
So it’s day two of the PyGI hackfest. You can find some good coverage of Day 1 at Colin Walter’s Blog and John (J5) Palmieri’s Blog. The first few hours of day two include: Made the decision that PyGI will depend on the GObject-Introspection 0.6.10 (to be released). This is because PyGI needs some new [...]
