I finally joined the tt-01 “group” by buying an R-version. I build it recently and really enjoyed the work.

There aren’t any electronics in the car yet, execpt for the motor. I’m planning on using my HBX-ESC from my HBX bonzer car, which by the way is soon up and running again. Managed to find the gears I had broken. Anyways, an spektrum receiver combinding with my dx7 will be in this car aswell and going to steal an old servo I have in my Kyosho tracker 2.

I didn’t have any camera during the build, therefor I do not have any pictures of it either.

Got my new printer today. Shortly after unpacking it I hooked it up and setup it on my windows-partition. Basically because I didn’t have time to see if HP or anyone else had setup software for it on Linux.

The cool thing about this cheap printer is WiFi. It has WLAN which can be turned physically on/off. After it was connected to my network, I did like 5 mouse-clicks and the printer was wirelessly installed in Ubuntu.

Scanning did also work (in Ubuntu) wirelessly, which was pretty cool. It’s a joy to see Ubuntu managing these things just as good and in my opinion; easyer than windows.

Thumbs up for HP Photosmart C4380. Don’t be frighten to buy, even if you’re a tux.

The other day I slammed my Nokia E65 on my table, breaking the screen. It still works, but the screen is entierly black. Don’t have a device to take a picture or video of it, but you get the picture..

I had to get another cellphone anyways. This phone was pretty buggy and beaten up already so I ordered myself an Apple iPhone 3G from the only distributor of it in Norway, Netcom.

I received the phone on saturday and was really excited about it. I booted it up and everything looked perfect. After browsing this wonder I had to try the iPod-part, since I’ve never used an iPod before (yeah, never). I shutdown Ubuntu and booted windows to access iTunes to be able to sync my music. What’s up with that? there isin’t only two OS’s in this world you know.

Back on track; I transfered some mp3’s over and tried to play them, but no sound, hmm. Making a long story short; my Apple iPhone 3G’s speaker was/is dead. And since it only has one speaker (one microphone and one speaker), I’m screwed.

The phone is going back to Moobi to be replaced with an working iPhone 3G ASAP.
