My name is Jeffery MacEachern. I am a Computer Engineering student at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. When I have time outside of studies, I like to tinker with gadgets, hack on code, and generally have fun with technology. When I have time outside of that, I have been known to blog about those things. In the event that I do blog (as rumours suggest), it will often be related to Free and Open Source Software, Nokia’s Internet Tablets and other Maemo-based devices, and whatever other shiny toys I can get my hands on.
If you have any questions about my articles, please leave them in the comments – getting comments makes me feel appreciated.

The BlueZ Debian packages are actually for Maemo 5 (the OS that Nokia N900 uses), so they wouldn’t work on x86 Debian anyway. You’ll probably have to rebuild the BlueZ packages for Fedora. Helping you with building on Fedora specifically is outside of my knowledge, but you’ll need to pass the “–with-telephony=dummy” switch to the configure script.
I hope that helps.
