Once you’ve jailbroken your phone, install openSSH (using Cydia), so you can ssh into your device.
Don’t forget to change your root password (more info on this here)!

Now to enable tethering, you’ll have to install an application called TetherMe. You can buy and install it on your iPhone using Cydia or you can look for the installer on the internet and do it for free (illegally off course).

If you want to do it for free, I’ll make it easy for you, you can download it here: TetherMe-xsellize.deb
When you have the .deb file, scp it onto your iPhone, and install it using ssh (instructions below).

To ssh and scp to your phone you’ll need the IP-address of your phone.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and click on the white arrow in the blue circle of the network you’re connected to, you’re IP-address should on the info page you get.
Then, on your computers console do this:

$ scp Downloads/TetherMe-xsellize.deb root@192.168.100.118:/private/var/mobile

Replace the IP-address above with yours and enter your root password (if you haven’t changed it, its alpine).

Then ssh into your iPhone to install it:

$ ssh root@192.168.100.118

And install the file:

# cd /private/var/mobile/
# dpkg -i TetherMe-xsellize.deb


When it’s installed you should reboot your iPhone, and tethering should be enabled.

Disclaimer:
I don’t encourage jailbreaking iPhones and installing illegal software. I’m just pointing out it can be done.
Also I don’t take any responsibility for anything if you fuck up your iPhone

I think it’s a cool way to display time. When I considered buying the clock, I was shocked when I saw the price. So I though it would be a nice challenge to make it myself, in JavaScript.

Here is the result:

And you can see it in action here.

I am in particular proud of the JavaScipt code. The clock is “built” with text predefined text strings, and right strings are highlighted using a “logic” for the selected language. In this way it is fairly easy to add new languages (at this time only Dutch and English are available). I used the PrototypJS-library because I’m used to it, and it shortened my code drastically.

Tested in:
- Google Chrome 8
- Firefox 3.6 and 4.0
- Safari 5
- Internet Explorer 8

Update:
And this is what it looks like on an iPad:

still pretty expensive for “just a clock”, but already cheaper than the qlocktwo.

It’s a plugin which add functionality to request visitors authentication before the website can be viewed. It doesn’t use HTTP Authentication, just php and html.
You can choose to use the WordPress authentication functionality to login, or give a password yourself.

Try it out, and give some feedback.

Now compatible with WordPress 3.3

Yesterday I performed a clean install from Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Minimal on my Asrock Ion 330.
I followed this guide like I did last time (for an earlier version of Ubuntu Minimal) but I encountered some problems.

Here’s how I solved them.

In chapter “Updating the computer”, change in the sources.list hardy or intreprid or jaunty by “lucid”.
No problems in “Install sound”.

The real problems came in “Installing the graphical environment”.
When I wanted to install the latest driver for my ION graphics card I always got this error:

ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module ‘nvidia.ko’. This is most likely
because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
‘kernel-source’ rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source
files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
‘–kernel-source-path’ commandline option.

It took me a while before I found this solution:
Make the file (or edit the file if it already exists)  /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
and add this content:

DISABLED_MODULES=”nv nvidia_new”

Now you should be able to run the installer without problems.

Another small problem was, logging in automatically. In earlier releases of Ubuntu you had to change some commands in /etc/event.d/tty1 (according to the guide mentioned earlier), but in Ubuntu Lucid, the event.d folder doesn’t exist anymore, and you have to put it in /etc/init/ instead.

Good Luck!

Facebook Like-buttons:
The buttons now appear under the user skinbar on all profile pages (blogs, photos, sets, …) from users, groups and brands.
There still is an issue with ajax browsing, but I’ll try to fix that as soon as possible.

One known bug is that the script doesn’t really work together with the ajax photo browsing.

Note, make sure your Netlog profile and the item you’re liking is accessible when not logged-in (otherwise Facebook can’t handle it)

The use of the class is fairly simple. Include the class file (don’t forget to add you API-key), make an instance and do your calls.
The class internally uses CURL to do the requests to the server and returns the data as an associative array.
I tried to document the methods enough so it’s easy to use them.

Example:

<!--?php
include('./class.gowalla.php');
$gowalla = new GowallaAPI();
$events	 = $gowalla--->getSpotEvents(846403);
foreach ($events['activity'] as $event)
{ // do stuff }
?&gt;

Feel free to download and comment.

So I decided to share the things I found. Let’s hope google indexes them well and I’m able to help some fellow developers.

Textbox + SetLabel:
If you have a textbox, it is not possible to change the label via python in an easy way.

mc.GetActiveWindow().GetLabel([id]).SetLabel('text')

and

mc.GetActiveWindow().GetControl([id]).SetLabel('text')

don’t work on a Textbox, and

GetTextbox([id])

doesn’t exist.
Setting the label can be done this way:

xbmc.executebuiltin('Control.SetLabel([id],[text])')

and you’ll have to replace every comma (,) with $COMMA

Onload-tag with a dialog
I’ve experienced some troubles with the onload-tag in windows with type=”dialog”. If you have a normal window, and load a dialog-window in a onclick method with this code, the onload of the dialog won’t work until you close the dialog:

 
<![CDATA[ mc.ActivateWindow(14001) ]]>

The way to solve this is to dump the python code to load the dialog and just do this:

	ActivateWindow(14001)

Python import gives errors:

It took me a while to figure out, but this error:

18:54:51 T:2963869696 M:410439680  NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--

Was caused by a bad window-id. Boxee window-id’s should be between 14000 and 14099

Close a window with type=”dialog”:
If you have opened a window with type=”dialog”, it isn’t possible to close the window with this code:

CloseWindow(14001)

Instead you have to do this:

Dialog.Close(14001)

You can also add the “force” option (True/False), adding this option will skip all animations.

So here it is. It’s extremely basic, but it does what it was supposed to do, play stubru music.
Download and enjoy!
