Posted: 20th August 2010 by Gert in Android, Planet

All info necessary to do so is readily available on http://code.google.com/p/softkeyboard/wiki/BinaryDictionaries

Where are the Keyboard Dictionaries in #Android?

Posted: 19th August 2010 by Gert in Android, Planet

I love the Froyo multiple languages keyboard feature! Its AWESOME, sliding a finger over the keyboard to change language .. Awesome!
If your specific dictionary is in there. Which it probably isnt, since there are only 6 dictionaries in the default keyboard. And Dutch isnt in there. Dutch is in several other keyboards, like the HTC [...]

Posted: 17th August 2010 by Gert in Interwebs, Planet

I dont get it. Telenet has this Wonderful detail view. Im not on the unlimited plan and I can see my downloading habits in this great graph, How much (yeah, thats 83G this month), what type of volume, .. Its all there.

Then Why the Fuck do I have friends, paying more than I do, NOT getting that [...]

Really updating the Hero

Posted: 22nd July 2010 by Gert in Android, Planet

After the dissapointments and sparkle of hope I talked about in “Updating the Hero” earlier, I kept a close watch on the site with that crontab I described. (damn, what machine is that running on again? .. probably the Soekris…) The crontab yielded results several times, but it was never the update I was waiting [...]

Just another Telenet disappointment..

Posted: 13th July 2010 by Gert in Interwebs, Planet

The new Telenet usage formulas are up. (Probably for a while already but I just discovered today.) Ive got a 80Gb download limit now; others are unlimited.
Unlimited internet? Well, no.

Turbonet and up customers can enjoy “Free Downloading”. You can now choose to pay for the perception of unlimited downloading. There still is a limit but [...]

Posted: 28th June 2010 by Gert in Android, Open Future

I took some interesting pictures the last few days. All sorts of exciting evidence and the base for a post on coffee When earlier today I needed to produce some of that evidence; I discovered that my SD card or whatever was having a hickup. The files (admittedly, nearly 300 pictures) weren’t in [...]

I care a lot about exploring new ways of paying for music. The old system is passe, we ve had it, paying [...]

While checking the Google Analytics for gertschepens.be, I noticed someone ending up there with a “gish linux how to install” search. Since I don’t answer that anywhere (nor do the interwebs), I thought Id do a lil Q&A This question isn’t really answered anywhere because its very straight forward!
The linux package is called gish153-1.tar.gz or something [...]

The Humble Indie Bundle

Posted: 10th May 2010 by Gert in Games, Linux, Planet

As a Linux user it is a frequent annoyance that I feel I dont get to play any of the good games. As a general consumer I am often irked at the price of stuff and more so at being treated as a criminal after paying for goods. Goods I might as well have downloaded; [...]
