This is simply amazing. I am already excited even before I start writing about it. This damn pretty thing is called iPhone Wordpress.

Go to the App Store om your iPhone and search wordpress, you will see this as the first result, install it, it’ free, and believe me, it’s addictive, I am already loving it.

This is my first post via my iPhone on my blog.

I finally bought an iPhone, I bought it two days after it’s launch in India. People had already started asking me about plan to change my last cell phone because it’d already been 6 months since I did that.
I am loving it, it does not have a few basic features, I am missing the copy-paste and the message forward, but it’s a marble, hardware and usability are simply awesome. Now when I have a Official Mac, I love the marriage of an iPhone and a MacBook Pro.
I spent 750 buck and bought a rubber cover but ended up not using it, I use a sticky screen guard though.
WiFi, GPS, EDGE, 3G (Not available in India) are faster and better then all my earlier cell phones, then best in this thing is the iPod.
I am lovin’ it.

Today I installed FC6 on my Compaq Presario V2000, had to do some tweaks to get the WiFi running. Here is what I did:

1) Install Livna RPM Repository information:

$ rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm

2) Install ipw2200 firmware:

$ yum install ipw2200-firmware

3) Add following to /etc/modprobe.conf:

options ipw2200 hwcrypto=1 associate=0

4) Add ESSID and CHANNEL in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:


ESSID=
CHANNEL=


5) Add the KEY (WEP or WPA etc.) to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1.

6) Start:

$ ifup eth1

It starting working for me, did less struggle as compared to FC5.

I never took a look at any of the Live CDs, but today Ubuntu  Live CD helped me write this post. I don’t know what heppened to the OSs installed on my Lappy. Trying to figure that out.

Ubuntu Live CD Works.

When I bought a Linksys WRT54G Version 5 around 10 months back I was hittng my head against the wall after learning that it runs on VxWorks instead of Linux. The playground I expected was lost. But Thanks to Jeremy who has written a VxWorks Killer and nicely documented it, I flashed my unit’s firmware with Linux based dd-wrt micro. Kudos to him, there is so much to look inside.
