Exam results, OpenEmbedded
Got my exam results today! I didn't do as well as I thought I did unfortunately, but all the same, I didn't do badly... Here's the break-down:
Computational Systems - 63
Database Systems - 60
Software Analysis and Design - 61
Operating Systems - 73
Compiler Engineering - 60
Scripting Techniques - 74
--------------------------------
Average - 65.2
Happy with scripting and OS at least, anyway - I expected more in computational systems and database systems, for sure... Especially databases, not sure what happened there... But either way, I should complain considering the work I put into it.
Thinking of work, I have put SO much work into OpenEmbedded in the past couple of weeks! Fortunately, it's paying off :) My PDA is now usable again, after so long - Minimo is looking good too, but unfortunately, it still crashes on pretty much every site that doesn't have a special style-sheet for PDAs (looks great on OSnews.com though!). But plug-'n-play is working awesomely - Pulling out and putting in my CF card NEVER leaves the CF slot unusable anymore, and I can hotplug Wifi too, and it'll detect it and connect, if a network's available, and a nice icon appears in the 'taskbar' with reception details and such... It's all very nice, I'll post up some screenshots in a bit :)
OpenZaurus 3.5.3 for collie + gpe is going to rock anyway... SO much works compared to 3.5.2 (and even 3.5.1, which was the last release I worked on) and I'm very pleased with my work :) (and the work of others of course, it's hardly just me working on it) - I can see 3.5.3 as the release that attracts more users away from Opie and to GPE... Not that I want Opie to fail or anything, but I would be working on that instead if I thought it were a better alternative. I think the next big thing I need to work on is a decent media-player for GPE... mplayer works perfectly, but that's command-line only... Anyway, yes, that's what I'm up to
