I'm using a FreeRunner, with Qt-Extended on the flash but mainly using Debian on the microSD.
I'm in Boston.

Blogging
I'm blogging a bit about my experiences and hacking on the FreeRunner at http://journal.wjsullivan.net. Posts tagged with "freerunner" are syndicated to http://planet.openmoko.org.
Highlights
Hardware
- GTA02
- FrogPad bluetooth keyboard
- PaperMate PhD Multi pen, which includes a pen and stylus
- Altec Lansing 2.5mm headphones (which have a mic too, though I don't know if it works)
- 8GB microSD card
Uses
I'm currently using it without a SIM with:
- e17 and Illume
- gmpc/mpc/mpd/mpdscribble as a scrobbling music player
- TangoGPS
- Emacs for text editing
- subversion for pulling in my home directory
Connectivity
- Tethered via bluetooth to my Nokia E61, which gets it a T-mobile EDGE connection.
- wifi-radar for connecting to wifi networks
Web browsing
Iceweasel configuration
- Set my home page to http://delicious.com/johnsu01/mobile, which will have frequently used bookmarks.
- Turn off auto-suggest in the search box (right-click on it and turn off "Show Suggestions"). But probably I need to remove this altogether, unless I can move the address bar to its own line -- right now all I can see there is "http".
- Disable autocompletion in the address bar -- makes typing impossible. I had to do this (and other iceweasel configuration) over X forwarded ssh, because iceweasel config windows keep coming up larger than the screen.
- Probably need to install Adblock and add a filter to block all of these javascript form field suggesting scripts (like google.com or youtube.com) -- they really slow things down and make typing frustrating.
I tried the delicious extension but it seems to make things too slow. I might try again.
