Re: Flip clock pre pre pre pre release
 

Ok, it wasnt as hard as I thought...
I moved the general variables in _init (note for qwerty12: path compreso!).
I substitute the wav with something a bit more serious (and smaller).
I tested a bit the thing and seem working pretty flawless; the alarm works corretcly with the application minimized but obviously not when the clock is closed.
Until I dont learn a way to hildonize the <Unnamed> menus ill keep posting new icons to avoid a bit of confusion with different versions.
Version 005 will have the led flashing (seem pretty straighfor, thank qwerty for the link: seem possible to find everything on the ITT forum... :) ) and a working alarm display

I'll package it (I promise) but I've just woken up and I need time to get around all the cool new files :D

Re: Flip clock pre pre pre pre release
 

C'mon qwerty12 - your slacking off! You used to package in your sleep!

Re: Flip clock pre pre pre pre release
 

Is Nokia permitting the use of their logo into that?

Re: Flip clock pre pre pre pre release
 

Hehe :P

Well, I can do it 3 hours after I've woken up it seems :D :

The packaging changes were vast because of the new python files etc but I packaged it :D

It is a pleasure to see the things packaged just after the morning coffe :) . Great Job qwerty12!
kudos, peace and love

Re: Flip clock pre pre pre pre release
 

well, daniel, I dont know if nokia is in the alarm clock business,
To me sound like opening a fish and chip shop and name it microsoft... :)

Beside jokes the clock is in a nokia controlled repository: in case we'll try to promote the application to maemo.org extra Im sure someone will notice that and, in case, ask to remove it.
Something similar happened on my theme and Quin Gil politely asked to remove the maemo.org logo.
Worste case scenario they ll ask to remove completely the app; that probably mean ill convert the thing is a vista widget; "the mokia flip clock vista widget " sound cool to me.
Anyway is just a dumb script with fun graphics, I just hope nokia people have enough sense of humor, I always supposed european companies were a bit more relaxed than the americans.

Well, a guy named Mike Rowe (no relation to the Dirty Jobs guy as far as I know), who was a programmer, did register the domain name mikerowesoft.com to promote his software. Microsoft ended up suing him because of the phonetic similarities, and they came to an out-of-court settlement (Wikipedia). Quite ridiculous if you ask me.

Anyway, I think Nokia will probably ask you to remove their logo from it, just because most companies don't want things that aren't associated with them to be associated with them. Who knows, though.

Anyway, I've been enjoying the flip clock. Keep up the good work!

Just remove the Nokia logo and prevent any worrying about it. maemo.org isn't Nokia controlled, anyway. It's community-controlled with Nokia just sponsoring it.

Sense of humour has nothing to do with it when it comes to trademarks.

Personally, less visual cruft and just being a simple, visually-appealing full-screen clock (which responds to power save events so can be kept running) is what I want to see from this app :-)

Just remove the logo. It isn't worth the hassle or discussion. It bears no use, and once Nokia is aware of it you waste 74.83 seconds of the legal team's time. ;)
