Wow.

That post got quite a few hits. You know, the one about the Gentoo. While it's true I could come up with more reasons (and maybe I will), no one would like them. The internet is a silly place.

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.

Charging your Blackberry Pearl in Linux

Derek — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 22:43:03 +0000

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!
