- Sugar running on the Nokia N810
Hey all,
This past week I managed to do something quite interesting. I got sugar, running on my Nokia N810, compiled for armel.
The trick that made it work was thanks to easy Debian chroot, that got me access to installing sugar without a few good hours of compilation for arm (and I did that before).
Touchscreen is cool!
The first thing that I found pretty neat was running sugar on a touchscreen device. It really felt better, since most people that I let play with my XO and flip its screen 180 degrees naturally try touching the screen, expecting it had a touchscreen. Sugar was actually quite good with it on the Nokia.

Tracking with the Nokia N810.
Hey all,
This Passover, I went on a trip in the North of Israel in the Golan heights.
However, apart from enjoying the beauty of nature I thought I might do a little experiment with my Nokia N810, a Linux device with a GPS receiver.
What I did was switch it on at the beginning of the tour and put it back inside my bag, ignoring it most of the time.
The result was a complete GPX file of our tour.
On the Nokia it looked nice, however I wanted to see if I can extract more data at home with the GPX file.I found 3 tools I could do with it.
