Talk user "itsnotabigtruck" announced a port of Mosh (a high-latency tolerant, roaming IP SSH bridge) for Harmattan: Mosh is a new secure shell program that, unlike conventional SSH, tolerates high-latency connections and can roam between IP addresses. It uses your existing OpenSSH server to log in and initiate the connection, so you simply need to install Mosh on both the client and server to get going. This port allows you to Mosh anytime anywhere using your N9 and 3G connection! It also includes the server component, allowing you to Mosh into your N9 from your PC. Those of you in need of SSH access on the go should appreciate the improved connectivity and functionality. The application is available from the developer's MeeGo.com PPA.
Aura - video recording with realtime effects on N9 using front or rear camera

A new video recording application, called Aura, was released last week. Developed by Xabier Rodríguez Calvar, Miguel Gomez, and Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal the application applies real-time effects (e.g., nostalgia) to input from the front or rear camera: Basically it uses the device’s camera (either the main one or the frontal one) for video recording, as a normal camera application, but also it exposes a set of effects that can be applied, in real time, to the video stream. [...] Besides of these software effects, it is possible to add, simultaneously, another set of effects that the hardware is capable, such as sepia colors. These hardware capabilities do not impose extra processing as the software effects do. Aura is available from the Nokia Store.
Pre-release of Sociality, Facebook client, for Harmattan

Last week, Mohammad Abu-Garbeyyeh released a preview of his long-in-the-works Facebook client Sociality: I've been writing sociality-mtf for quite a while, it's taking more time due to the fact that I'm writing the UI manually (no designer for MTF), and that I'm taking "breaks" every now and then from the code (uni). Currently photos, events, messages, chat, and an interface for settings are not completely implemented. It's available as a .deb from the developer's site, but given the limitations it's likely only those willing to test and report bugs should install it.
QZeeControl - control Harmattan phone using Zeemote

Ruediger Gad announced a new Zeemote Bluetooth remote (think Wiimote) interface for Harmattan last week: QZeeControl. In a nutshell, QZeeControl enables controlling your Harmattan/MeeGo based smartphone via a Zeemote bluetooth remote control. QZeeControl is still in a very early stage and is missing some essential features like configurable key-bindings. Nonetheless, I want to announce it here and on the MeeGo forum in order to get some feedback. So far I tried it with EmuMaster and it worked quite well. The prototype release is available from the QZeeControl Garage page.
