WordPress on iPhone

November 10th, 2008 3 comments

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.

Update, here are the screenshots:

I used Flock for the first time today, I am impressed. It’s a nice socializer and comes with capabilities of Firefox. Amazingly beautiful.

Fedora Core 6 on Compaq Presario V2000: Running WiFi (ipw2200)

December 10th, 2006 No comments

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. :)
