http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/taxonomy/term/1082/0 en http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/756 <p>After the <a href="http://www.oreillygmt.co.uk/2008/09/tikitag-launche.html" rel="nofollow">O'Reilly GMT</a> interview , the nice folks over at <a href="http://www.tikitag.com/" rel="nofollow">Tikitag</a> sent me a Tikitag presskit to play with. I actually got it about 2 weeks ago but I only got like 5 minutes of time with it earlier. Just time to find the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/tikitag/web/bof---tikitag-and-linux" rel="nofollow">Linux Client</a> and get that to connect to their site. So far so good ... I however couldn't get a connection between my reader and the client. The readers' led was constantly on.</p> <p>So today I connected the reader to my Fedora based Dell Laptop, I figured out the content of the Debian package and copied those files (a startupscript and a jar file to my laptop) </p> <p>The led started flashing gently. I restarted pcscd , started the client and the Java client detected the reader , I launched the Tikitag Dashboard but that failed to detect the reader till after I restarted my firefox.</p> <p>From there on I could map tags to url's etc. So now I have a bunch of Tikitagged Businesscards.</p> <p>So my next step is to figure out why it isn't working on my EEE. Because after all the EEE is what I carry around when going to conferences and other places .. which is when I might want to actually use the TikiTag reader. (Any ideas anyone ?) </p> <p>There is a lot of potential for this kind of technology.. Imagine using it in a museum where you get a tagreader equipped device which you can use to read information about the artworks you are about to see.</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/756#comments linux Tikitag Mon, 27 Oct 2008 20:39:13 +0000 Kris Buytaert 756 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
