the disgruntled Linux surgeon

As you would know if you were following my twitters, I was back and forth to Bani Sweif trying to reach a comfortable middle ground with the administration there. Things are better now, but I have to make a difficult choice now.

The choice involves affecting my plans for the future, career choice, income source, time management.. everything. It might even force me to leave IT completely.

More on that later.

On a lighter note, finally nailed the problem with udev that made the laptop hang more often than not during bootup.

Change the /etc/init.d/udev script so that the line containing
{{{
/sbin/udevtrigger
}}}
to
{{{
/sbin/udevtrigger --subsystem-nomatch="*misc*"
}}}

I think it happened when udev was stuck triggering the hpet which is the time source.

I also twittered about being able to sync my N70 to evolution. It worked using opensync, multisync and evolution. But currently it is one way N70 --> Evo. I'll write the details later.

Also gnome-phone-manager can finally connect to the N70 and send sms, and read battery status.
