Many years ago Windows systems were more popular. Microsoft created CHM then. It was compressed archive/file including HTML files (with CSS, Java Script, etc.) with additional TOC, indexes and similar things. I have used it for various purposes and even today it's possible to open and read many of these files. Example for it can be "The HTML Reference Library 4.0" (my conversion of original release prepared by Stephen Le Hunte).

This time short info. Yesterday I have found https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_vendor_cm/blob/ics/prebuilt/commo... and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/APN_List files. Nice initiative, but I decided not to use it.

Reasons are simple:

Small thing found few days ago, which hangs FF 11: file

When it will be fixed ? Look into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/970431

Michal Čihař:

as you probably noticed that I'm not so active here as I used to be, I've written down something about Gammu future on my blog: http://blog.cihar.com/archives/2012/01/27/future-gammu/?utm_source=ml

Marcin Wiącek (me):

The most popular desktop operating system is still Windows XP (it's visible in many reports and logs). Many people were complaining over years about problems with its' security (there were also written from time to time some very fast spreading viruses or worms using some bugs inside) or privacy (Microsoft was suspected and criticized for collecting some user data or statistics).

"New Android Trojan... It contains botnet capabilities... It's stealing many user data..." - many sites were writing such alarming notes about Geimini during last weeks (including Mobile-Review).

I wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. For people understanding Polish language small poem...

8/16 GB disk space, Bluetooth, Wifi, camera (or more precise: two), headphones 3,5 mm jack, microphone and speakers, micro-USB, micro-SD card reader, FM radio with RDS, graphic accelerator, internal modem. Is it new computer model ?

No - it's Samsung Galaxy S. 4" touchscreen, proximity sensor, big battery, Android and some other make, that it's probably the best phone released during this year... Samsung already sold more than 5 millions of units and is planning to sell 10 millions to the end of 2010. Is it ideal ?

Like promised I have closed gammu.org in current form.

Started 1 April 2005 under gammu.net address, in April 2006 was moved into current domain (gammu.org).

First in the form of static pages, later created using MediaWiki.

I was publishing there some non GSM texts too, tried to make some phone database with info about firmware changes, versions, pictures....

Big shame, but don't worry...

What next ?

Two interesting articles from last time: Microsoft: 30 Million Windows Phone 7 devices will be sold by the end of 2011 and Nokia top model N900 sales below 100,000: Gartner

My answer: first is system, which will probably not have many features known from competitors. Second is system, which was not supported correctly by own manufacturer. How could you think, that they could be successful ?

July 2008 - Brad Brooks, Microsoft's VP of Windows Vista consumer marketing: "We broke a lot of things. We know that, and we know it caused you a lot of pain. It got customers thinking, hey, is Windows Vista a generation we want to get invested in?"

Sep 2009 - Steven Ballmer, Microsoft: "We 'screwed up with Windows Mobile'"

As you probably know, I'm hosting some content (articles, materials, etc.) on the gammu.org. Some time ago I have decided, that it's not updated from longer time and additionally MediaWiki is not developed too much. I have decided to make some reorganization:

1. moving all non-GSM content to the mwiacek.com (this page)

During few last weeks I was working on refreshing this site. Yesterday I have decided, that beta version is "good enough" to be published. And here it is !

This is naturally not the end.

In next days I will work on some pending minor things (like setting better categories for posts, improving formatting in some articles or adding some old articles/pages) and later create new articles and sections :)

Any comments or suggestions ?
