This is CyanogenMod.

Cyanogen has provided a rare jaw-dropping experience that I haven’t had on a mobile device since I got Debian to run on a Nokia N900.

F-Droid, the Android app store for freedom beards.

For Android users seeking a Google-free experience it’s nice to know there’s another way to get at least some of their favourite apps.

Why I’ve switched back to Nokia’s ghetto smartphone OS (for now).

I’m not telling you to switch to S60 — or any specific mobile OS for that matter — just letting you know that Google doesn’t have to own your ass if you don’t want them to.

My awkward introduction to EFI.

I honestly didn’t even know I had it until a botched Ubuntu upgrade yielded that screen you see above.

Trying to right a custom Android ROM.

I suppose I should be grateful that I can install a community-built OS on my phone at all.
