• Linux/Tux Keyboard For Sale – Oxfam Fundraiser

    05Feb
    Categories: Personal, Tech View Comments

    As most people may (or may not) know. I’m doing the Oxfam 100km walk. We need to raise $2,500 to donate to Oxfam to take part, plus our entry fees.

    Thanks to a lot of people we have $870 at this time, which is fantastic, but only 35% of the way there! Since I have a few cool toys I no longer need, I’ve decided to sell a few things here on my blog. I’m using my blog because other sites like trademe will a) take a cut of the proceeds and b) you can deposit the money right onto our Oxfam account and i post it to you, and I have a fairly high technical/Linux following who will be more inclined to want it.

    So to start it off, Im selling this AS NEW Linux Keyboard. Its a standard decent keyboard with low profile keys. The standard Windows key is non-existant and has been replaced with a Tux Key. Other than that its fairly average.

    I was given this by a visiting person from Zareason who make and sell these along with other Linux specific hardware. I opened it, tried it, then never actually used it. If i can find the mouse I will throw that in as well (though its just a normal mouse). You can view the keyboard specs and more pics here http://www.zareason.com/shop/product.php?productid=16206&cat=251&page=1

    So please place your best bid in the comments. You can make as many as you want and fight it out. Bidding stops when the  nobody has bid for more than 2 days or when the trailwalker starts early April (in which case i hope like heck you pay!).

  • Removing calendar off ipod touch and iPhone hack

    24Dec
    Categories: Informative, Tech Comments Off

    It seems a well documented problem that if you sync your iPod Touch or iPhone with your machine. then decide to change to a different calendar, it can be really hard to get rid of the older calendar, especially if like me, you sync with google apps then decide to go with the exchange option.

    So now im stick with 2 or three copies of my gmail calendar on my iPhone, which no matter WHAT i try does not go away, even after i tell it to not sync any calendars in iTunes.

    Luckily i Jailbreak my iphone, i ssh’d in and found where the calendar files are. This fix im afraid only works with a jail broken iPod/iPhone.

    ssh in or open a console. If you have file browser you prefer then by all means use that. You need to grab the file at /private/var/mobile/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb .

    You can use scp to do this, find the IP of the device, then

    an7:Desktop wishes$ scp root@10.40.1.5:/private/var/mobile/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb .
    root@10.40.1.5’s password:
    Calendar.sqlitedb                                                                                                                 100%  636KB 636.0KB/s   00:01

    Once you have the file, you need an SQLite browser to edit it. I used http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/ on my mac. Make a backup of the sql file before editing it. Open it in the sqlite browser. Click ‘Browse Data’ then in the drop down look at Calendar. Find the entry you dont want, delete it, then save the database again.

    Copy it back to the device.

    lan7:Desktop wishes$ scp Calendar.sqlitedb root@10.40.1.5:/private/var/mobile/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb
    root@10.40.1.5’s password:
    Calendar.sqlitedb                                                                                                                 100%  524KB 524.0KB/s   00:00

    Then test it. If it worked then presto! if not you still have that backup right?.
