Yay, paranoia!
Maybe because I've got this head cold, but I am oddly paranoid about random things in general as of late.
One sentence posts aren't usually my style, but short posts are better than no posts.
Slight downtime
Sorry about the downtime today. There were some config changes that apparently broke things. Doh.
Charging your Blackberry Pearl in Linux
Recently, I was looking for a way to charge my Pearl under Linux, and stumbled across this project: Barry .. Well thats nice and all (as a matter of fact I may install it when I get home to sync my BB), but right now, I just want to charge it! Barry has a small app included called bcharge that sets your USB port to 500mA (the power level that the BB expects when you plug it in).
I've repackaged the bcharge app and the headers, and you can get it here: bcharge.tgz
To compile, make sure you've got at least g++ and libusb installed, and then do:
tar xvzf bcharge.tgz
g++ -o bcharge bcharge.cc -lusb
And then just run bcharge a la: ./bcharge and your Blackberry should be off and charging!

- 03:52 synikal: @veronica_713 lol, I had to click on the link to see if it was the meditation page or something from qdb.us. I'm reading both right now.
