In monday after getting bored of being a long time without programming (I told in my previous post that I was in vacation, even hitting the personal record of 2 weeks without programming!), I was talking with Nuno Pinheiro a.k.a ‘da design guy’ of KDE. When he asked me if there was a way to [...]

Hello my Friends Long time no blog. I was in vacation and made a personal commitment to avoid using computers (yeah… if you don’t count a Wii or a PS3 or a tv as computers…) and start to clean the ever growing stack of books to read. Vacation is over and I’m back to hacking again. At [...]

Update (2009-08-21): update instructions to support S60 5.0 too. A while ago I started playing with S60 programming. After downloading rather big SDK files and following instructions from [...]
