flightComputer Update

I’ve updated the flight computer to version 1.0.2. It irons out issues with incorrect ground speed reported. If you have not seen version 1 before it also features dynamically updating fields, no more clicking “calculate” to get the numbers. I can’t remember if I’ve released before version with working distance to time converter, well it’s [...]

Just a follow up on all things FlightComputer mobile App which I’ve developed with Qt. Since last week I am battling Nokia Ovi QA team and publisher web interface. Their instructions for publishing for Maemo platform are vague and whenever I submitted my app they returned it with cosmetics: deb categories – which they do [...]

Flying and Mobile Apps

It is a while since I came up with an idea that I should invest some of my time to develop apps for pilots. Naturally, started developing some with me as primary consumer. That’s how very crude version of flightime appeared. It was KISS design, 2 buttons and it was logging my take off and [...]

new QT and Flying with Maemo N900

It’s amazing. My love for flying and computers is starting to have it’s children. I’m kinda inventive and lazy guy. When I can automate something, I don’t bother to do it.

Ruby on Rails on Maemo 2008 N810

I’ve been looking to be able to code a bit of RoR while on the go. From a few devices which I have, N810 has the longest battery run time. So… Google gave me a nice How To from Jon Forrent, it talks about N800 but it’s the same. I was trying to do all [...]
