What’s about me?
So again from
XDA-Devs we can now start testing Windows Mobile 6.1!
I have flashed this morning while having breakfast (:P)
Schap’s WM6.1 Pro 4.40 Beta for Kaiser, it seems quite fast, dunno yet about stability 
WM6.1 it’s also available for HTC
Hermes and
Universal (sure it has to be for more devices but we just have those three at home 
)
Let’s flash!

Today we’ve been working to get
Ginger’s blog translated to Spanish without much luck, at first I thought about themes but it seemed weird every one we tried failed to get translated.
Thanks to Bluehost forum I have found the answer, it seems like a bug in the wp-includes/gettext.php file, it’s just in x86_64 systems.
Thankfully it’s now running properly with almost every theme we tested, might be some labels untranslated but we could live with it
Well I have first version of a script which I think will help me to grab EPG data and store it in XMLTV format. I’m just using standard Linux shell tools, tzap (from media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-apps) and tv_grab_dvb.
You can have a look to the script
here, I’m pretty sure should be other ways to accomplish this task but I promise I will try to improve it with little more time to spend on it . For now you have to configure a var with all the frequencies you want to search and modify rest of the vars to fit in your OS, then just execute it.
I think I will use cron in order to launch it every 2 or 3 days.
Hope I’ll get any feedback/help! in order to improve it

Lastly I’m having trouble to get net-misc/zaptel compiled because the following error:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: tonezone.lo: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `builtin_zones' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
tonezone.lo: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libtonezone.so] Error 1
I haven’t figured out yet why, but I have a temporary solution for getting it to compile:
# CFLAGS="-fPIC" emerge -uDv zaptel
Maybe someone has a better solution but for now I got it working, will have a look to Gentoo’s forums to search for a proper fix.

As a newbie in the
Oracle world I don’t know much about SQL or Oracle internals so maybe this could be easy for lots of people but I didn’t know how to make a massive grant.
What do I mean with a massive grant? it’s just to grant a user to access (select, update, delete…etc) to other user’s tables. So after little researching I wrote the following little script which creates a file with one grant line per table:
set feedback off
set heading off
set termout off
spool filename.sql
select 'grant select on SCHEMA.' || table_name || ' to NEW_SCHEMA;' from all_tables where owner = 'SCHEMA';
spool off
That’s all, this will generate a file which will look like this:
grant select on SCHEMA.ADDRESSTYPE to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.CONTACTINFO to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.COUNTRY to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.EXHIBITOR to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.FAIRGROUND to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.HALL to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.I18NADDRESSTYPE to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.I18NCOUNTRY to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.I18NLANGUAGE to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.LANGUAGE to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.LEVELS to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.PARTICIPATION to NEW_SCHEMA;
grant select on SCHEMA.PARTMODLOG to NEW_SCHEMA;
...
This example will just give grants to SELECT so if more are needed just change the script.

Well this is not new if you’re following Kaiser related forums (such as
XDA-Devs) but I wanted to give my support to all those sites are asking HTC for all us Kaiser users (and other HTC devices as well) about this problem.
The issue is, in just few words, that our nice (and expensive) device has enough powerful hardware to give you a full multimedia experience but when it was released the drivers where missing so no joy for us…:(
Thanks to HTCClassAction.org, also thanks to some powerful business users who have threaten HTC about returning all their affected devices and all those organized communities, we seem to be getting some attention from HTC and they have answered they will provide an upgrade before April, let’s hope!
UPDATE: There’s seem to be good news about the driver issue, hopefully we’ll have an update by the end of March, read more.

Two days ago I have received my Xmas gift!! I know, a little late…but you know…good things always make you to wait
My new little partner is an HTC Kaiser (aka HTC P4550, TyTN II, T-Mobile MDA Vario III, O2 XDA Stellar, …), I haven’t played too much with it yet but I have already SIM unlocked it thanks to imei-check, CID unlocked (I’m really grateful for this! pof & Olipro and have flashed Schap’s WM6 Pro 4.31 ROM.
For now the only problem I see with the current ROM I’m using is it hasn’t got Smart Dial, maybe it’s there to be enabled but as I already said…I haven’t messed with it too much .
For this fantastic gift I have to thank my sweetheart,
Ginger!!! Have a look to some
pics we’ve got with her HTC Hermes
UPDATE: Two days late for me…but there’s a free unlocker for the Kaiser!
have a look, thanks to jockeyw2001! Good work

Hey! I just set up the new home for this blog, I’m using the service provided by
Quantact who gives a virtual dedicated server for each one of their clients based on
Xen or
OpenVZ.
So for a good price I had the option to choose OS, with 128MiB RAM (if resources available could get till 256MiB), 5 GiB storage and 128GiB of data transfer for just ~$10/month.
So now I’m running Debian 4.0, tried to low down the resources needed for Apache and MySQL to save as much RAM as possible.
On the other hand, I have migrated
Wordpress without a problem using the internal Export/Import tool. I’d like to have reports if any link on posts are now not working, I checked’em last night but I might missed something .

Yesterday Virginia and I were installing
Sabayon Linux on her new laptop (Xmas gift!) cause I wanted something where she could develop her skills without having to deal with every detail.
Sabayon Linux is based on Gentoo, so she gets a full user experience having a versatile operating system under her feet.
For now almost everything is working except for bluetooth and sound, I expect last one will be properly working maybe in next kernel update cause the card is detected but as a generic Intel HDA (ICH8 chipset). For the bluetooth we’ll have to follow the acpi4asus project cause if I’m right it will be activated through ACPI as mine was.

EPG is the data broadcast by DVB channels allowing their users to have information about the scheduled television programs.
Grabbing it from a linux box command-line is quite easy using tv_grab_dvb, it just requires you tune a multiplex (as I understand it, is a set of channels sharing the same frequency) on your DVB card and let the fun begins, you’ll get an XML file following XMLTV standard.
# mplayer dvb://channel_name
(on another terminal)
# tv_grab_dvb -t 60 -f /home/freevo/guide/TV.xml -n -s
This will generate the XML file (TV.xml), in silent mode and with a timeout of 60 seconds. I’m currently using it from crontab but I think it’s not the way cause I don’t detect if TV is being watched and I don’t run across all the multiplexes so my final file will be incomplete
Will think about how to fix this…and will post it 
.
