My new Hi Tech gadget:

 

htc_tytn

 

For a description of the pocket pc phone click here.

The pocket pc is based on windows mobile 5, but in the vendor website, after registration, is possible to download the upgrade of windows mobile 5 to version 6.

I reccomend some useful links for Tytn and programs for windows mobile:

  • xda-developers: the forum to discuss anything about our Htv Tytn.
  • fring: is a program to chat by Skype, MSN, ICQ, Google Talk, Twitter and phone via VOIP.
  • freepocketpc: the largest archive of software for windows mobile pocketpc.
  • total commander: a complete freeware filemanager.
  • tMan: a task manager.
  • XnView: a program to organize and view photo in your pocketpc.

Bye Bye.

What is a daemon:

in Unix and other multitasking operative systems, a daemon is a computer programs that runs in the background; they run without the direct control of a user.

In linux, or in any generic unix-like operating system, a daemon is usually initiated as process and its "parent process" is the init process. The usual way that allow to process to became a daemon is to create a child process, with the function fork, and then to force the exit of parent process, thus the init process will adopt the child process.

In linux there are wo ways " to daemonize" a program (or process):

  1. use the function daemon, see the manpage daemon(3) for details;
  2. develop a function that daemonize your personal program.
