  • Randomized Twitter’s Homepage Design

    I don’t visit Twitter’s website regularly. I use Twitter from third party applications most of the time. Not sure when Twitter has another new look — the homepage has been changed few times — but when I open Twitter’s homepage, I got some different schemes.

    Anyway, you probably remember about its major design few months ago. Now, Twitter randomize its homepage by having different color schemes. Not sure how many combinations it has, I found three. All of them give a short description: “Find out what’s happening, right now, with the people and organizations you care about.”

  • WordPress 3.3: It looks great!

    Posted: December 13th, 2011, 4:08pm WIT by Thomas Arie
    TagsDaily  

    WordPress team just announced that the new version of WordPress is available. It’s WordPress 3.3 “Sonny”. Matt posted some notes about this release. I have WordPress for multi-site installation, and since the previous upgrade went smoothly — except some minor issues — I had no reasons not to upgrade. It was easy, just took few seconds.

    I like the way WordPress greets me with useful information. You will get information about new features. You know what your WordPress installation can do. Nice.

    I need some more steps to upgrade since my blog is a network-blog. It took only few extra clicks. When I go to post creation page, I got a tiny  tooltip telling an information about what I can get from this installation. The media uploader is improved now. It’s drag-and-drop now. If you have problem, you can still use the basic uploader. And, it also supports additional files (.rar and .7z).

    This release is also great for those who wants to start blogging using WordPress because “Help” provides more details about the current page — yes, it’s depending on the context.

    If you want to read all details about this WordPress 3.3, go to WordPress Codex. For me, these are some to highlight:

    • Drag-and-Drop Media Uploader
    • Post-update About screen — After upgrading, you know what the new features are.
    • When inserting a Gallery to be ordered by Date/Time use the post_date field for ordering rather than ID

  • How To: Install Opera Mobile on Nokia N9

    Posted: November 26th, 2011, 8:17am WIT by Thomas Arie
    TagsDaily  

    Nokia N9 already has a built-in internet browser. It’s not the best, but it works. I like having some browsers for my Nokia N9, and currently I have Firefox Mobile and Opera Mobile installed. Both browsers (Firefox Mobile and Opera Mobile) are not available from Ovi Store. If you’re using Symbian for your Nokia, you can download Opera Mini. Firefox is not yet supported.

    I’m not considering the installation process as something difficult. Yes, it’s not like the regular installation procedures. It’s my first-time experience too. So far, everything works without any issue at the moment. For Opera Mobile installation, I just follow the installation tutorial from Nokia N9 Fans Club. It’s an unofficial site, not maintained by Nokia.

    This is how Opera Mobile looks like on my Nokia N9.

    Opera Mobile on Nokia N9

    Now, let me share a bit about how I installed Opera Mobile. Anyway, my N9 is running MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan with software version PR1.1 (20.2011.40-2_PR_005). And, if you’re not familiar with command line, you can continue reading.

    Installation

    First, you need to turn Developer mode on by going to “Settings” > “Security” > “Developer mode”. I have done something in Developer mode when I fixed the Twitter app issue about two weeks ago. Don’t worry, it’s safe. :)

    Since it’s not officially supported by Opera, you need to download from another source. I downloaded the installation file from My-Meego.com website. You can download directly from your N9 browser, or  from your laptop/PC and transfer it to your phone. I downloaded directly from my phone. It’s around 12 MB.

    So, where’s the file? You can find it under /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/. Its file name is: operamobile_11.11.00-1_armel.deb. It might be different when the new release is available. You can check using application like File Manager or Filebox. You can not install it directly by double-tapping (or opening) the file.

    Go to Application screen and open Terminal. You need to work as “root” to get permission to install. By default you’re logged-in as “user”. On the Terminal screen, type “devel-su” (without quotes) and press the Enter button. You will be asked for a password. The default password is “rootme” (without quotes), and press Enter button again.

    Great, you’re now working as “root”. (See screenshot)

    You need to your Download folder by typing: cd /home/user/MyDocs/Download/ on your Terminal screen, and hit the Enter button.

    If you want to see list of files in the directory, just run ls -l and you should see operamobile_11.11.00-1_armel.deb there.

    You are ready to install it now.

    Type this command: dpkg -i operamobile_11.11.00-1_armel.deb and hit the Enter button. If you’re too lazy to write down the file name, just type dpkg -i opera and hit the “Tab” button there to complete the file name. The installation process only took few  seconds.

    When it’s done, you can close the Terminal by typing exit or swiping the screen down. Easy.

    Other notes

    Opera Mobile on Nokia N9

    About your User Agent, it will be detected as: “Opera/9.80 (linux armv71; Opera Mobi/10; U; en) Presto/2.7.81 Version/11.00″.

    By having Opera Mobile installed, you can expect to have another browsing experience. Opera Mobile offers some great features. Go to Opera website for detailed features. It’s not yet officially available, but it’s running great. On Nokia N9, it only offers a landscape view — no portrait view. The menu button on the bottom right is a little bit not responsive. Sometime it’s slow to open. I tried to browse some websites, and I have a pleasant browsing experiment.

  • Nokia N9 Sample Photos

    Posted: November 14th, 2011, 7:43pm WIT by Thomas Arie

    I love photography.

    After using some different cameras (DSLR and phone camera), I think  this year I spend more time using mobile phone, not the DSLR. Sometime, I almost forgot that I still have Canon 450D. After having Nokia N9 in my hands, I wanted to test its camera features, just like what I did with my previous Nokia N8.

    Nokia N9 does not have the best camera specifications compared to other mobile phone products (with camera). But, for a mobile photography, the photo quality is pretty good. Let’s look at Nokia N9 camera specifications:

    • 8 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics
    • Wide-angle lens, true 16:9 imaging
    • Large lens aperture F2.2 for better and faster photos in low light conditions
    • Dual LED flash
    • Digital shutter, continuous autofocus, touch-to-focus and exposure lock
    • Focal length: 3.77mm / 28mm, F number/Aperture: F2.2
    • Still images file format: JPEG/EXIF/XMP
    • Digital zoom up to 4x for still images and video

    Now, let’s see how some photos taken using Nokia N9. These photos are not edited at all. Nokia N9 has also a simple photo editor to crop, rotate, brightness, and contrast, etc. I only captured some photos, and send to Flickr directly from the phone using built-in upload to Flickr feature.

    I like watching TED Talk videos, including lots videos from TEDx. Recently, I stumbled across a video by Thomas Suarez from TEDxManhattanBeach event.

    From the video description:

    Thomas Suarez is a 6th grade student at a middle school in the South Bay. Tom been fascinated by computers and technology since before kindergarten. Recently, he’s been focused on the development of applications for the iPhone, and has established his own company, CarrotCorp. His most successful ap is one he terms “an anti-Justin-Bieber game” called “Bustin Jieber”. “It’s is a variation on the Whac-a-Mole theme,” he explains.

    Not only he does a great work,  I think he’s very good at his presentation too :)

  • Solved: Nokia N9 can’t connect to Twitter

    Posted: November 13th, 2011, 9:22am WIT by Thomas Arie
    TagsServices  

    After I had my Nokia N9 early this month, I setup my Twitter account first — after some basic phone settings, of course. Everything worked. The application is probably not the best, but it works.

    Is it problem-free app? I thought so, until I got a problem: I can’t connect to Twitter using this app. I was not sure when the problem occurred for the first time. I did played with my phone (installing apps, downloading musics, adjusting settings, and including working from the command line). When an update was available, I also upgraded.

    Added later: I was not sure what caused this problem. When I signed-in for the first time, everything worked without any issues. I deleted my Twitter account from the app, and tried to add it again. I forgot when I did this for sure, before or after installing the firmware update. It  was optional, but I decided to upgrade.

    2011-11-13 01-49-48At first, I was not sure about the problem. Is it my phone, or the internet connection I was using. I switched to some different connections, but it didn’t solve my problem. When I tapped the “Sign In” button, it said: “Can’t connect to Twitter”.

    So, I searched for a solution. And, I got one. It’s probably something too technical, but the instruction is easy to understand. According to the forum thread, here are some steps to fix the problem — I’m using Software Version: PR1.1 (20.2011.40-2_PR_005):

    • Activate “Developer mode” by going to: Settings > Security > Developer mode. It’s OFF by default. Turn it ON.
    • After having it activated, you will find a “Terminal” app button under application menu.
    • Open it and you need to execute these commands (one command per line):
      • gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
      • gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
      • gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso

    You may close your Terminal.

    Those commands will wipe your active connection settings (bluetooth and internet data). But, it’s not a problem as I can add/manage connection settings easily. Problem fixed. Great.
