was poking around the olpc wiki the other day for some reason or another. oh that's right - it was the flash thing. i was tired of not being able to view any flash items in the browse activity. the xo uses exclusively foss , and the only option was a player that only did flash up...

spending some quality time with the xo lately: yumex ("yum install yumex", ~500kb) is a graphical yum front-end which is helpful digging through the repositories, already installed items, and available updates. still have to do something about logging my installs, though. yumex helped me discover...

so, y'know, i haven't done taxes, or even summarized cash flow from last year, and it's like one in the morning, so of course, being supremely rational, i decide it's time to install an http server on the olpc xo [1] . [2] your mission not just any server; i go for the micro_httpd. i...

so me & self are pulling in the drive on the way back from the beer store, fog everywhere, and a nice cedar fire burning somewhere in the neighborhood, and self notices something on the dark porch. " what's that? " i wander over to take a look - and surprise, surprise - the xo is here...
