Blackberry Woes

After picking up one of these newfangled devices and playing with it for a bit, I realized that although the calendar is pretty nice, there is no way to sync to my desktop (or vice versa). After a little research I found googles application that enables me to sync the blackberrys calendar to GCal, which I can then grab with a cron job and use ical2rem to convert it to sweet sweet remind. However, going the other way is a mess. I have yet to find a way to get remind (which can be made into ical, at least) to sync over to GCal, which would then sync to the Blackberry. I'll continue the hunt, but it's looking as I'll have to create something. So, it is up to you, my intrepid google searchers. Contact me with the solution to this problem and save me the work!

Xorg /dev/agpart

Came across an interesting problem in #archlinux tonight. Someone (fackue) was getting an error regarding /dev/agpart upon startx. He was using the xf86-video-intel on one of the 810 cards. Some investigating led us towards kernel modules being the issue, where we discovered he was missing intel-agp.ko. Some googling really didn't reveal much. It kind of looks like this was a problem with some distros from earlier kernels. Anyways - the solution (there are a couple of variables):

mkdir/mkdev /dev/agpart
downloaded intel-agp.ko
insmod intel-agp.ko

It seems this did the trick. Does anyone know what causes this?

Testers Needed

Hydrogen is about to be released to an elite few. Version 0.5a will be complete in the coming week. I'm in need of a handful of alpha testers. If you're interested helping out send an email to . I can provide you with a subdomain for hydrogen, additional webspace for a personal website and email. Stick around and we can talk about SSH and SQL accounts as well!

RSYNC

Just a test. Now using RSYNC so I don't have to SSH all the time.
And FYI hydrogen is coming along nicely. Expect an alpha release maybe next week?
