To the Haiku developers

Hello,

It is a pity that people like me who
are trying to run the liveCD from
their CDrom drive got an error
because they have a sata CDrom drive.
This is putting people off...
This is just a remark.

Greetings,

Ran

if you needed a program to open the .xz nightly builds on mac, well I'd recommend this,

What do you guys think is the best Python development environment for Haiku?

porting FLdigi to Haiku/BeOS? (ham radio digital mode software)

Forum thread started by kp3ft on Mon, 2010-08-09 12:52

Is it feasible to port Fldigi program to Haiku/BeOS? It's a ham radio program that works under Linux, Free-BSD, OS X, Windows XP, W2K, and Vista. It processes audio from the soundcard and allows communication with several digital modes like PSK31, RTTY, etc. I am dying to see how Haiku/BeOS would perform with these modes, since BeOS was originally designed to be fast and efficient with audio/video media. Fldigi sourcecode is here: http://www.w1hkj.com/downloads/fldigi-3.20.22.tar.gz and it's description is here: http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html

Plug on eeeuser

Forum thread started by vader on Mon, 2010-08-09 12:43

Just thought I'd mention I've given Haiku a plug on the eeeuser site (www.eeeuser.com). I'm on an old 7014G - its running beautifully (thanks Humdinger for the help). Must say, I'm really impressed with the progress - Haiku is (for me) now day to day usable :)

Keep up the great work and spread the word....

Cheers,
Vader

free BeOS nostalgia

Forum thread started by Kev on Mon, 2010-08-09 01:38

Apologies if this is considered off-topic...

I'm doing the "real life" thing for a while, and part of that involves, for me, moving and getting rid of my stuff. I thought the following items of mine might be of interest to someone in the Haiku community:

  • book: The BeOS Bible
  • book: Programming the Be Operating System
  • CD: BeOS R5 Pro
  • CD: Gobe Productive 2.0
  • CDs: Corum III for BeOS

Maybe someone would want this group of things to auction off at a Haiku-related event?

I currently live in Kitchener, ON, Canada, and would be willing to ship them either to an individual for the cost of shipping, or to the nearest Haiku, Inc. member who could bring it to the next Haiku event for auction (or other fundraising) for maybe free shipping or half the cost? (Not sure how much it is, but The BeOS Bible is pretty bulky and I'm about to be officially poor.) I could also possibly drop it off in Toronto in the next month or two, depending on scheduling (I don't have a car.)

Peace, and best of luck to the Haiku team, things are really coming along!

Kev

PS I think I might have the original boxes (at another location) for each of the CD items as well, if that would increase anyone's interest in them. Let me know and I'll check next time I'm there.
