Officially I’m on vacation. The plan is to travel a bit, prepare for at least one exam and hack on a new OpenMoko application. I hope to not really skip the traveling part but it will probably suffer due studying. I will be at least in Eindhoven on the 15th and in Frankfurt on the 16th of September 2007 but with the goal to go north. Hopefully visiting two friends one in Rostock one somewhere in Denmark and then hopefully going further north (e.g. sweden or finland) and return by crossing this one kingdom located on this island and hopefully to meet some old friends in Cambridge.

Currently I’m still in Berlin. As my flat is still rather empty I mostly hang out in the office. To make a difference I’m sitting in a different room with a different pile of books and papers on it. So my thoughts are divided between what to study, reading old GCC summit papers and other compiler related publications and thinking of a new application for OpenMoko. El, my usability master, kindly agreed to give me a hand in designing the interface and work flow and I hope this works out. I have prepared a paper version of the Neo and already wrote some stuff for the main tasks this application should do. I have a list of actions and settings this application has but as the space of the toolbar is rather limited I don’t really know what to do with it. Again I hope my usability master has some thoughts and that I’m, the Kode-Knecht, will be able to realize them.

Oh, I will hopefully be able to emulate Aaron and find a copy-shop and people to try the paper prototype…

What does that have to do with WebKit? No idea but as you are clever you will find that out. On a rather funny note Google asks the GSoC2007 students to create a Gmail Account and to upload the code to a code.google.com repository. Sadly they only allow to upload 20MB and my tarball is 105MB…. I have mailed LH and filed a ticket to request more quota…
