Tentative: UX meets Code hackfest in December @ Barcelona
Quim recently started a new thread on Talk.m.o about a tentative meeting for UX experts and Code writers in Barcelona in December (4th to 6th).
Follow the thread and, if you are into Maemo as a UX enthusiast or Code writer, do register your interest in there.
There is some budget for it and Quim is aiming at gathering around 50 people to it.
Please note that nothing is confirmed yet.
Based on the interest this hackfest will generate, it will confirmed or canceled.
I feel it is a very interesting hackfest as I do like to write code, but when it comes to the UX of my application, I face plenty of new issues and doubts.
Surely that is the place I want to go for shedding some light onto them.

N900 as modem for Ubuntu 9.10
Today I was thinking...that's been a while no post.
Thus here I am showing you how to use your Nokia N900 as a broadband modem with Ubuntu 9.10.
It's as easy as connect it via USB and choOse the "PC Suite mode".
A Wizard should appear on Ubuntu with few easy step to configure the modem with your provider (attached are the screenshots to document the process).
If the Wizard does not appear simply go to Edit Connections... and add a new mobile broadband connection.
Enjoy the screenshots!
Choose "PC Suite mode"
Choose your Nokia N900 as mobile broadband device.
Pick your country.
Choose your provider from the list of known ones.
Choose your plan among Contract, Prepaid and TopUp and Go available for the chosen provider.
You're done, click apply to save the profile.
Give it a name and save it.
That's it!
