Moderator of A2Jsoft forum???
Written by Meraj Chhaya on January 30, 2008 – 3:28 pm
Today I was doing my usual browsing through the numerous forums and blogs that I know of, and suddenly I notice something that was a bit weird...While browsing through Asier's forum, A2J, I saw that I was added to the moderator list (well there's only four of us), and I didn't even receive a PM about it, or even requested/applied for it. I don't know if it's a mistake or Asier felt generous towards my work there, which is quite minimal.
Whichever way you take it, I'm always here to help people when it concerns to mobile phones and computers, and it's truly great that people actually give you credit.
If you are still clueless of who Asier is, he developed NiiMe, that one program which is competition for our mouses and touchpads 
You can download NiiMe here, at A2Jsoft website.

Simple steps to N95 mouse motion
Written by Meraj Chhaya on January 25, 2008 – 10:04 pm
Asier has created a great program which we have seen in most blogs and forums.
NiiMe uses Python, Accelerometer and Bluetooth so that you can use your phone as a mouse by simply tilting it.
I have been struggling with it for the past days, but managed to come right thanks to some tips from sid on prodigits and some logic...
For the ones who still can't get it working, I created a very basic tutorial:
Step 1
Get Python on your computer. The tutorial is mainly intended for Vista as it was done on a notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit but I'm sure it can help in XP installations.
You can get Python from here. Install it, the latest build is 2.5.1 and has ctypes included.
Install wxPhython, which you can get here
Step 3
Install NiiMe02PackedBeta which you can get here
Step 4
Configure your Bluetooth drivers, go to Control Panel and open Bluetooth Devices.
Remove all the unnecessary devices, or even all but the phone that will be used as a mouse. This removes all the used COM ports, because for some funny reason, the program won't work if the COM port is set above 10.
Set an incoming COM port as shown
Step 5
Install Accelerometer Plug-In and aXYZ Plug-in your phone. Note that phones without accelerometer/motion sensor can't use this program.
Step 6
Install Python and its Shell. You can download them respectively here and here.
Step 7
Open the NiiMe application, select the incoming COM port, if you don't know it or you skipped the Control Panel step, you just have to guess it. Click Connect once you got the right port. You will notice because your phone will prompt to allow connection. You can click Invert if you want the Up and Down movements to work oppositely in some games or programs.
Step 8
Open Python in your phone, Go to Bluetooth console and select your computer. It should automatically initialize the application.
Step 9
Enjoy, this step is crucial

Mouse control from your phone using motion!
Written by Meraj Chhaya on January 21, 2008 – 4:53 pm
It was being discussed for some time on the Symbian-Freak forum, and I was comparing it to the program Psiloc had released for Symbian 2nd edition, and now the release (or half of it) is here.
Of course you can find it cracked but you should donate to the developer even if it's 2 Euro just for consideration.
I'm going to state in the beginning that I found it on the iPhone Forum, because I saw Apoc from Symbian-Freak arguing with Symbian V3 people that the sources were not stated...
Moving to the actual subject, I still found no way to install it, I'm still learning and asking for tips, so if anyone does know exactly how to, please provide me simple steps 
Well besides being a mouse, it can also be a steering wheel as we see on the videos.
The public release isn't certain yet, but we hope it won't take as long as brother Samir's works. We continue seeing these toys to be used with the accelerometer, I still can't believe Nokia didn't release the accelerometer API sooner.
For those of you who have the program, here are the installation notes from the official website:
- Install Python and modules(CTypes, WxPython and PySerial) in your computer
- Install AXYZ plug-in
- Install Python for S60 3rd edition
- Plug-in a bluetooth adapter
- Open Python in your mobile, go to: "Options>Bluetooth Console" and connect to your computer
Now run the Niime software (NiiMe.exe or NiiMe.py) and select the COM port of your bluetooth. If you don't know it...try!
Right now Left click button is the "Right Option" button of the mobile and Exit button is the "Red Button"
These instructions are for NiiMe .PY version, if you download th .EXE installer you don't need to do the five first steps
