It’s an action that’s as easy to use as Automator itself. This action uploads your favourite images and photos to Flickr by simply adding it to the workflow. Trivial to add title, tags and description to large batches of photos. Or create a folder action to automatically upload everything dropped in.

I’ve done a propper page all about it here.

I’ve not been away from the keyboard for that long have I? I’ve been away for a week Boating, but still not sure where the rest of the time has gone.

Still, let me introduce my latest ‘quickly-knocked-together–over-the-weekend’ project. It’s not much really, but since I’ve been meaning to play with Javascript for a long time it was the first thing that came to mind.

I find myself using this when I complete another level on the Internet.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the steps required.

• Search for phone.
• Enter Pin
• ‘Do you want to setup your wireless internet connection now?’ - Yes
• Select Other
• Setup connection manually
• Enter access point name ‘internet’
• no user name
• no password
• Select Automatic for DHCP ad DNS
• Select default of *99# for dial.
• no login script
• Wait for test of settings.
• Send ‘technical details’ - (I keep intending to check what these actually are one day). - I Agree
• Wait for ’sending to server’ stuff.
• Set automatic pairing on on your phone.
• Continue on the TTO
• Congratulations - Continue
• Turn on TomTom Traffic and test.

You’re done!

• Pair your phone.

First pair your Nokia N70 with your mac using the bluetooth preferences.

• Disable Certificate Check

My N70, on Vodafone, has by default application certificate checking enabled. This appeared incompatible with the Apple iSync application as it doesn’t appear to be signed. To disable this, enter the Symbian menu, Tools, Manager, Options, Settings and set Online Certif check to off. Also make sure, ‘Software Installation’ is on.

• Edit MetaClasses.plist

Open MetaClasses.plist in your favouite editor after backing it up.

This is probably easier from the command line as Finder may not let you navigate within iSync.app

/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist

Or try this command

open -e /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist

from a terminal window.

• Add this stanza

                        </dict>
                </array>
        </dict>

I added this stanza just above the <key>com.nokia.6680</key> line.

• Add an icon

I found a good looking iSync icon for the N70 and copied it to the same directory as MetaClasses.plist

• Test

Try and sync. Start iSync and select Add Device select the N70 it should ask you to send the sync app to the phone. Just follow the instructions. Then try a test sync. Recheck the instructions if it fails.

Add a comment if you’re unsuccessful and I’ll see what I can do.

Just the very format most wi-fi stumblers use to log the position a hotspot was discovered. After a little hackery pokery I’ve manage to get it streaming over bluetooth to my ibook running macstumbler. Job done. View the image below for an example.

I’ve a few minor issues to work out but it’s functioning a treat.

Next? how about gdb ttn…

I also grabbed a larger SD card so I can get more binaries on the TT, hopefully python if I can get it cross compiling correctly.

This is also all on a stock TT One, no kernel was recompiled in pursuit of this hack.

Check below for the shell feedback.

I ended up using rfcomm and running ppp over it. I would have preferred to use PAN but that didn’t look like a goer from the stock TomTom kernel.

Unfortunately devpts was also omitted from the kernel, so I’m going to have to get a little creative with the pseudo terms.

Here’s a quick teaser before I package it all up with a telnet daemon..

This is from the TomTom Side..

At the moment I’m just seeing what it could be capable of and the first step towards that is seeing what dmesg dumps out..

I’ve already bust out the boot loader and startup scripts and have been annotating a dump of ttn navigation app to see what interesting stuff I can glean from that.

Next on the list is gaining a remote shell without writing my own custom firmware or boot loader.

Read on for the messages log…
