As this post already suggested, about a week ago I replaced my S40 with $title. (Yes, I know that S II is just released, but that pushed down the price of S a bit, and I don’t want to waste so much money for a phone.)

So far I’m quite pleased about the product, here are the tools I used to migrate data:

The hardware is supported by CyanogenMod, but I did not experiment with that so far. (bookmark)

See this post for motivation.

There was an old Calc bugreport about this, and it was an interesting challenge, since I never touched Calc code before.

First, the references:

Given that there is no easy way to enter Ctrl-Shift-";" using a Hungarian keyboard, the Hungarian equivalent is Ctrl-Shift-".".

Actually, once this feature will be implemented, not sure how the Hungarian users will access it. :)

This will be similar to my mysql post.

Kollegammal csutortokon Szegeden jartunk az idei MSzNy-en, ahol elo is adtunk. A slide-ok itt erhetoek el (valosagos tinyurl!), illetve a konferenciakotetbe is irtunk egy cikket.

So Lennart already had great slides about what is the preferred attitude when you’re hacking Free Software (don’t expect gratefulness && be grateful), but recently there was such a great example, I wanted to mention it. :)

So I saw there is a new etckeeper release and I checked its changelog, mentioning me. What the hell? I didn’t contribute anything to that project in the past 3 years! It turned out it was a patch that was considered "too new" at that time, but now got merged. ;) Remember, if you contribute, usually integration takes much less time, so no need to whine about it.

A pontos reszletekre mar nem emlekszem, lenyeg, hogy valamikor augusztus elejen leadtam a Lenovo netbookom szervizbe (kotyogo ventillator, megrepedt haz, elveszett (!) enter billentyu), es pofatlanul sok ideig ultek rajta, valamikor oktober vegen lett kesz a cucc. Persze garancialisan csak az elso problemat javitottak, de megis a legzavarobb a hihetetlen lassu kiszolgalas volt. Ma jott egy email, hogy ertekeljem a szerviz munkajat, a form elkuldese utan a fenn lathato kep fogadott. Ki hany hibat talal benne? ;)

One typical migration people do when changing phones is migration of contacts and calendar items. In case of mine, this is about migrating data from an S40 phone to Google apps, where every smartphone can sync from.

Migrating calendar items is easy: gammu can save the data from the phone to a .ics file and Google Calendar can just import that. The situation is a bit harder for the phonebook, as Google Contacts would take a .csv, while gammu as its own ini-like format for storing this data.

I already found a script doing something similar, but the result was unusable. ;) Given that the whole task is not that complex, I decided to write my own converter, available here.

SCM commit mailing lists are handy in case you want to comment others' commits in an email. OTOH they are problematic, as they generate a lot of mails, and in case I subscribe to the list, usually I don’t read those commits at all. (In case you have time to read them, that’s a different use case.)

So here is an example how to reply properly — without having to subscribe.
