Thinkpad T43 Slackware 13.0 Radeon X300 Display Resume Fix

Recently my computer started to show a blank screen after resuming from suspend. To diagnose the situation, I started playing a MP3 before suspending. It continued to play after resuming, so I concluded that somehow the screen wasn't being properly initalized.

The current solution that seems to work is:

pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios

My system specifications are:

• IBM Thinkpad T43
  
• Slackware 13.0 - Using stock kernel of vmlinuz-huge-2.6.29.6-smp
• ATI Radeon X300
  

Sticky Memo Widget Lite 1.7

I am happy to release "Sticky Memo Widget Lite" 1.7 which has the ability to control what widgets appear in the widget list. I initially released "Sticky Memo Widget Lite" with 16 sizes appearing in the widget list. I thought that freedom to choose would trump the seldom usage of the widget list. However, I have learned that it is pretty annoying and would be lying if I didn't admit it annoyed me too. In 1.7, you can now limit the sizes that appear in the list by starting the bundled "Sticky Memo Widget Sizes" application and checking the sizes you want. One caveat is that you need to restart your phone after making changes, because Android needs to reload the application package. Have fun! :-)

Sticky Memo Widget Lite 1.2

Now I really regret touching the widget sizes :-) I have put them back the way they were to avoid the confusion. Have fun!

Sticky Memo Widget Lite 1.1

Sticky Memo Widget Lite is a widget for Android 1.5 that lets you place sticky notes on the home screen. You edit the notes by tapping on them, and you view them just by looking at them on the home screen!

In my obsession to make the smallest and fastest applications, I usually sacrifice on appearance, and some probably feel I have done that again by not using a real life sticky note picture here. I tried to save some space by using Android's Drawable infrastructure to generate a semi-translucent yellow gradient to depict a sticky note. Despite not being exactly like a sticky note, I really like how it turned out.

I rushed to bring out this application, and I now regret offering all the possible 16 widget sizes in the list. Although I had intended to allow maximum versatility, I may have ended up just creating more confusion. In this version, I prefixed what I think would be the less popular widget sizes with a "Z" to put them at the end of the list. Removing the widget sizes altogether would have made a backwards incompatible change, so this was the trade off I made.

Nevertheless, I am pleased with the result. I cherish both Astrid and AK Notepad, but this simple application will suffice for my needs. I hope you enjoy the application too!

Ongoing Music Adapter Pro Version 1.1

This version introduces a behavior change to combat connectivity problems. If you are listening to a link when you lose connectivity, the Android music player will just stop playing, and playback cannot be resumed without opening a different link and then resuming the prior link. Now you can just go to the Ongoing Music Adapter Pro, select the link that lost connectivity, and it will restart the player and resume where you left of.

In the prior version the Ongoing Music Adapter Pro would notice that the same file is already playing and would merely transfer you to the player. Now it will always stop and then start the player before resuming playback.
