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

I'm in Boston.

If you have a question or suggestion for me, feel free to leave it on the talk page here or contact me by email and more. I'm also in #openmoko, #openmoko-cdevel, and #openmoko-debian as johnsu01.

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.
