And then…
YES! It booted! My Nokia N810 is alive again!
There’s some bumps down the road. SSH is not working. The on-screen keyboard doesn’t launch for some reason (and I wanted to play with the writing recognition). Maybe I’ll be able to fix that, but it’s not that important right now.
I need SSH and rsync to be able to copy stuff over. Maybe I can do the reverse and SSH into Tomcat from the N810.
One of my ideas is to use it to write my Morning Pages, and copy them over to Tomcat with scp or rsync.
I remember writing using the hardware keyboard drained quickly the battery. I remember taking notes once about some article or book while I was at San Martín de Porres church waiting for Juampa and the battery was almost over when I finished. But don’t let that deter you! Let’s use it and make it count! Yes, it will eventually break, it’s hardware, but I’ll be happy with all the good use I did with it, rather than lament all the things I never tried because of fear. Nothing lasts forever.
I hope Tmux works! It should, right? I also discovered, and I don’t have a recollection of this, that I was using other Terminal Emulator than the default one. It’s called RoxTerm. So many things to find out.
I’m excited, yay!
