Limelight Networks purchased my employer (EyeWonder), and since Monday, EyeWonder (now: EyeWonder, a Limelight Networks Business) has been operating as part of Limelight Networks. What's changed? So far, not so much. I'm glad to be part of the LLNW team though!

I recently acquired an HP Mini 210 1010NR, which is a modern Pine Trail netbook.
Specs:
The install went fairly smoothly. I have an HP DVD-RAM USB drive which helped alot (it came with my HP Envy 15 laptop...). Once installed, wifi can be made to work on a clean install of openSUSE 11.2 by following these steps:
The touchpad is a bit more tricky, since its not really a touchpad, but Synaptics new ClickPad found in the HP Mini and HP Envy lines. While openSUSE 11.3 will fix this correctly, you can get it working by doing the following:
Specs:
- Intel Atom N450 processor (1.66 GHz, HT enabled)
- 1 GB (1024 MB) RAM
- 160 GB HDD
- 10.1" LCD display (1024x600 resolution, fairly standard)
- 1.3MP webcam
- HP Synaptics Clickpad
- Broadcom 802.11g wireless
- 10/100 Ethernet
- Intel HD graphics (3100 I do believe)
- Most everything
- Wifi
- Touchpad
The install went fairly smoothly. I have an HP DVD-RAM USB drive which helped alot (it came with my HP Envy 15 laptop...). Once installed, wifi can be made to work on a clean install of openSUSE 11.2 by following these steps:
- Connect to the internet via ethernet
- Update the kernel-default package to the most current package. You can run zypper up or Yast Online Update or preferred update mechanism and just install all the updates as well.
- Add the Packman repository
- Install the broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-default packages (must do both, or you will change your kernel to the debug kernel. Don't want that now...)
- Reboot
The touchpad is a bit more tricky, since its not really a touchpad, but Synaptics new ClickPad found in the HP Mini and HP Envy lines. While openSUSE 11.3 will fix this correctly, you can get it working by doing the following:
- Install kernel-source, make, and gcc
- Update /usr/src/linux/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c and /usr/src/linux/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.h with the files in the attached zip: Desktop.zip
- Using README.SUSE in the kernel source directory, configure, build, and install your custom kernel
- Reboot
- Voila, a working touchpad. No multitouch, but hey, like I said, openSUSE 11.3 will be working properly with this fancy touchpad.
My employer, EyeWonder, is being purchased by Limelight Networks out of Tempe,AZ, a major Content Delivery Network. The stockholder meetings are April 28th for the EyeWonder stockholders and April 30th for the Limelight stockholders. Limelight plans to keep EyeWonder a separate operating unit for now, so my job is safe.

Apple just effectively banned 2 very good products for building (native) iPhone applications. Up until OS 4.0, these apps were perfectly fine, and you are probably using an app built using one of those 2 technologies already:
- Adobe's Flash to iPhone compiler
- Novell's MonoTouch
- Unity 3D might be effected, but not quite sure yet
So yep.. Apple is evil.

While developing the next version of our ad authoring tool, I noticed a major performance issue that will affect a lot of people that use LocalConnection .. LocalConnection is slow in Flash Player 10.1! AdWonder uses LocalConnection for several things, but its primary usage is for "logging". The ubiqutious EW.sendToPanel call in our ads, which sends text to the output panel, now has a noticeable delay from when you send the command in the ad until it hits the output panel. This isn't just me, Tinic Uro from Adobe has confirmed this in his blog posting: There's not an approximate 33ms delay from when the call is made until its processed in Flash Player 10.1!

A major project that I've been working on at work is actually in use for real production work. I am happy :). Rock on EyeWonder!
