Today I've made a fix for openttd game to close the depot window after building one :-) This is for being able to double click when build depot: build and "enter" it to build trains.
Patch is very simple. Add new line (release 1.0.4 src from www.openttd.org) rail_gui.cpp:147

DeleteWindowByClass(WC_BUILD_DEPOT); //close depot picker window after building one

BTW, seems that I remember cpp :-)

Today my usb flash drive (OCZ 32Gb) died right during copying a large (720M) file :-) It's very happy now blinking its red light and being unrecognized by OS :))

Here's translation of news about prices down for foreign roaming of Russian mobile operators. The usual trick is that operators promised to lower prices for CIS (foreign USSR) countries only and (according to mention of negotiations with EU) maybe EU countries. No prices down for Asia. So, $4.90/minute for Singapore roaming. Madness. Or just robbery?

Russia bigger operator MTS roaming tariffs: http://www.mts.ru/coverage/i_roaming/geography/singapore/ - all 149 RUR = 4.84 USD
Thuraya satellite phone:
http://www.remotesatellite.com/airtime/thuraya/thuraya-airtime.php - 1.49 USD (Minute rate off-net (voice, data and fax): Thuraya to other networks (PSTN)).
Please note that you can use your MTS SIM card in your Thuraya phone, but in this case one gets 4.84 USD price for all calls.

4.84/1.49 = 3.25

MTS is a robber.

Yesterday tested midlet that does serial of photoshots via J2ME MMAPI: VideoControl.getSnapshot(defaultEncoding), at my new Elm (J10i2), firmware R7CA061. Mode I used for viewfinder is canvas direct draw.
After 2 calls the viewfinder turns off and getSnapshot() returns null (this is unexpected behavior as by spec it must throw exception in case of trouble). Seems that this is some camera driver problem.
The most unpleasant is that my old K530i works perfectly at this test :-(
I'm going to check whether item viewfinder mode solves the problem.
Actually, seems that new platform is not actually as good as it seems, because of unstable wifi and multiple gui animations that slows down everything and makes feel of gui almost like in nokia 5230.
I will write a review of elm from the end-user point of view. Actually, I'm not impressed by anything except wifi and new big screen :-(
If someone wants to run midlet at your SE phone without BACK button (A200 platform), drop a comment please and I'll send you the test midlet.

How to make AltGr (right alt) key behave like normal Alt in Ubuntu/Gnome:
Keyboard > Layout tab > Options... > Key to choose 3rd level > remove tip from "Right Alt".

By the way, what [the hell] does mean "add the standard behavior to Menu key"? Ubuntu help says nothing (what else did you expect from opensource?), google search gives nothing helpful.
