As part of the thumbtribes project I began work on a simple bluetooth logger. It logs the MAC address, the broadcast name and the date to an sqlite database. The code is available at projects.openmoko.org

Hyper Estraier on the iPhone
May 15
I managed to get Hyper Estraier running with lighttpd on my iPhone. This provides a nice way to load the device with documents and have a simple search interface for accessing them. It is part of a larger project I am working on. I will try and package it soon or simply release a tarball of the build.
Hello world on the iPhone
May 12
I built the dev tools on my Ubuntu (Gutsy) machine and managed to get the classic “hello world” running. I need to build some autotools projects but this is a start!
I have been getting to grips with OpenEmbedded and in particular bitbake. When everything works it is a great system and makes building packages for different platforms a piece of cake. I created a bitbake recipe to automatically checkout from CVS and build an ipk.
This can be installed on the Neo as follows:
opkg install https://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/167/thumbtribes_0.4-r0_armv4t.ipk
Thumbtribes in C
May 2
I have now re-written the Thumbtribes daemon completely in C and moved the project over to OpenMokoProjects.
The server will remain in Chicken Scheme.
