Comments on: Random Thoughts again.. http://www.tigert.com/archives/2006/02/22/random-thoughts-again/ um, what do I write here? Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:22:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: Ben http://www.tigert.com/archives/2006/02/22/random-thoughts-again/#comment-4829 Ben Wed, 22 Feb 2006 21:51:48 +0000 http://www.tigert.com/archives/2006/02/22/random-thoughts-again/#comment-4829 On a somewhat related note, I built a Maemo development environment, based on the Browser Appliance that VMWare hosts & loading up the Maemo stuff via their tutorial instructions (it's the 1.0 stuff, but I can do 1.1 this weekend). Is this useful for any of you dev types? I'm a 770 owner and a sysadmin, so I built this to poke at the tutorial, but I figured it might be useful for others. Just needs VMware Player. It's quite big (1.2G), but I have at least one report that it works OK. http://www.ritcey.com/Maemo-Development.tar.gz If it's useful, any idea who to contact to Maemo to see if there's interest in hosting it? I fear if it's popular my bandwidth will get hammered (which is why I've been a bit reluctant to post to the maemo-developers list with this). The fact you mentioned writing a Maemo tutorial reminded me to do something with this. Thanks.

Although that would probably require more than just a straightforward port, if you want to synchronize your notes with your laptop/desktop. What about Tomboy?

Another thing now, that I got a 1 GB memory card for the 770, is podcasting and videos - I want to convert a bunch of the old documentaries from archive.org to a format the video player can handle. I wonder if any of those offered actually works out of the box? Need to investigate. Woot, then it wasnt such a bad idea :-)

The current maemo notes app just can't handle any document larger than a couple of hundred characters, and maemo desperately needs a good and simple text editor!
