Well its been a while since my last post, I had to RMA my pandora, it took a couple weeks, It had one faulty SD slot, but this is all another story. I have had it back for a few weeks and I have been a busy penguin, I have setup a cross compile environment [...]

I was able to finally get a full backup of tablethacker.com and I am moving (have moved) tabletacker.com onto my cable modem along with penguinbait.com. This may mean tablethacker is a little slower and may effect the speed of KDE installs for n810. On a plus side this means tablethacker.com does not need to go [...]
Well I have discovered Hermes, why is this not a built in function/application? I was able to use Hermes to match my SIM contacts with my facebook contacts. It pulled all their facebook profile pictures, links to their FB profile and added their birthdates to their contact information. Good stuff. I also loaded all my [...]
The people at http://www.womworld.com/nokia/ were nice enough to offer me a N900 trial. I gleefully contacted them to find out it was only a two trial. I almost declined it, but I am glad I accepted. It has been two days since I received the trial and I can’t stop playing. Please note this is [...]
I just wanted to post to give a head up to any users of my KDE 3.5 on the N810 or 800. KDE 3.5 install relies on tablethacker.com to install KDE. I just paid the 108$ for hosting tablethacker.com for the year, after this the install process will no longer be available. This gets you [...]

I have been pondering this for a while, but I went ahead and threw my hat in the ring for “Maemo Community Council” Some questions were asked of me over on Talk.maemo.org, so I thought I would share my answers with you all.
Penguinbait’s work up to this point has been [...]
With a price-tag of $650 US, could this be the end of the beloved tablet? Well at least perhaps for me www.nokiausa.com is now accepting pre-orders for the N900, Nokia’s first Maemo based phone, and Nokia’s fourth generation Maemo device. I have been an avid user of the Nokia 770, 800, 810 since 2005. I [...]
Internet Tablet’s a journey from nothing to nothing. Has Nokia gone from filling a hole in the marketplace to creating one? Pehaps not as there are now other arm based pocketable Linux devices emerging, but will Nokia be able to hang on to its large “computer geek” following while bringing in a larger retail market. [...]
This is a statement I have been hearing a lot lately, and I must say I would have to agree with it. There are lots of times that that I just don’t get it. The current theme and attitude of the powers that be at Maemo.org the subject of my current topic. I do not [...]
