Understanding the Linux Kernel, 3rd Edition is a book I used to consult very often.
Checking the prices in Japan compared to US, I was shocked to find:
While in Amazon US, the price is $32.97, the Japanese version of the book will cost in Amazon.jp ￥ 6,930 . Roughly, double!
Not sure why, but suddenly KDE4 has gone berserk on my ubuntu 9.04 machine.
Before I restart the machine, here is a screen capture of the CPU usage - 50% means one of my CPU is working 100% for KDE.
I have recently upgraded my ubuntu machine to Jaunty. When I tried to work with my G1 Devphone, I found out that adb doesn’t seem to find the device.
Luckily, I am not the first one to find it, and could find a solution in an Android Group :
cp /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
/etc/init.d/udev reload
Just don’t forget to disconnect and plug-in the device again, and there you go.

Continuing my Android Books in Japan post, would like to report additional Android related activities and Groups in Japan.
Android Group Japan website and Google Group are trying to bring together Japanese developers and support each other.
Twitters use the acronymos #agj for Android Related Discussions, and there many of them.
Since I couldn’t help but test if my Android applications still work, I immediately upgraded according to the instructions: new SDK, version notes, and instructions.
ADT plugin was not upgraded as Eclipse couldn’t find an update.
Applications run without any modification.
1) I did not use any of the APIs that were changed .
2) Android API is “settling” down. (Or Google finally understood the pain the cause developers each time they change it).
It appears that Google Android Group is being spammed. Took me by surprise as I expected Google to be able to block such trivial spams.
Just bumped into zxing project, and wanted to share.
According the Project Home page:
Now I have to think of an implementation that will use QR Codes…
