Re: Android, OLPC, and native hosting

NoiseEHC, I think your arguments would be more convincing if you
didn't respond to every email, especially when you'd made that point
before in the same thread :-)

That said, I find Noise's line of reasoning here compelling.   What
are specific features of the current Sugar experience that people
think would be hard to port to Android [porting Etoys might in fact be
hard]?

SCaLE 8X

2009-12-30 Thread Caryl Bigenho

Hi All...
Anyone want to join me in the OLPC booth at SCaLE 8X at the Westin LAX Feb 
19-21? It may rain, but the weather is usually better than the rest of the 
country that time of year. 
Here is a link to the list of exhibitors, so far. More will probably be added. 
Let me know if you can make it!

Caryl (aka SweetXOGrannie)
P.S. I will have several XO-1.0s, one XO-1.5 and, hopefully, SoaS to show. I 
can really use help from a "PC person" for the latter... I'm a Mac!

Done some more work on this, and fixed some issues I found. I think
it's close to "cooked".

cheers,

os64 - strange freeze

2009-12-30 Thread Martin Langhoff
I just reflashed my 1.5 B2 (non-ECOd in any way), did the "disable
power mgmt twice" trick, and on the 3rd boot started the Terminal
Activity.

The icon pulsed on the screen a few times, and then froze hard.

I don't have logs or anything meaningful to show -- but don't want to
let it slide either.

Of course, on the next boot it's not reproduceable.
