Re: Xournal for Fremantle

Of course not! I'm having a severe shortage of free time this month. But will this change allow us to create new pages?

Re: Xournal for Fremantle

Cool! I will start looking at it tomorrow.

Anidel, how is progress coming on the "Add Page After" button? Is there anything I can do to help? I do know C++.

Re: Maemo and Computational Photography

Take close-up photos of a record and have it find the grooves, reconstruct the wave form and play the music. (a pocket record player!)

Re: Xournal for Fremantle

Right now I always carry my N900 and a notebook. As soon as the page buttons are done I'll need only the N900! I tried the Debian version but it isn't as cool.

Re: Finally happy with my xterm keyboard layout

For me it is best to leave the shift arrow keys alone because I use them to select text or items in a list. In many editors (e.g., Geany) if you hold shift and move the cursor with the arrows it...

Mediabox is best media player. Neither functionality nor eye-candy are sacrificed.

* Integration with Pandora would be AWESOME. I use Pandora all the time.

Re: Printing with N900

There should also be a native gui; use the web browser to go to http://localhost:631

Re: Printers and N900

Re: Printers and N900

It's printing! I just printed a test page, a text file, and a PDF.
Now I need to figure out how to package it all. CUPS can make its own debs. But I need to figure out how to 'en-debify' foomatic...

Re: Printers and N900

fLegmatic, the problem is that I had not included foomatic and ghostscript. I have built and installed foomatic and I am working on ghostscript. So it wouldn't work for you just yet.

Re: KOffice vs. Open Office

Once Open Office opens it works great. I do wonder what would happen if someone tried to build it for Fremantle. It might just work. (IMHO, no need to hildonize it. It is better for such a complex...

Re: Opengl es and scratchbox
