2 competely unrelated questions
 

1st question:I have a watch and there is a setting about lunitidal intervals.I have done a search in google about this but I didn't find anything at all.Does anybody know/can calculate the number of this?I live in Greece(Athens).
2nd question:Maemo 5 SDK is like simple maemo 5 expect for the fact that it contains some additional features for developing new programs?What I would like to know is that if any program from apps catalogue can be install(even the unrelated with developing),if it updates too(simple maemo 5 has an update for February,if I'm not wrong,does maemo 5 sdk has one too for this month?Is it the same update or something different?)and if generally it is the same with the simple maemo 5 with some additional features.

say WHAT!?

Re: 2 competely unrelated questions
 

2nd question: maemo 5 sdk is a desktop environment (program if you want) which enables you to write and compile programs for the N900 (or other Maemo devices) it's not an OS for the device
I don't have the answer to your first question though.

Has anybody ever really been far even as decided to go want to do look more like?

lunitidal: lunar + tides (waves).

Tides are (not only, but mostly) caused by the Moon's gravity pull lowering the gravity reading on Earth if the Earth-Moon trajectory happens to bisect where you live. Basically, it means you weigh less, so water can rise and it creates the tides. Because the world isn't a perfect sphere (and more specifically, because the Moon doesn't hover each square inch of the planet uniformly), lunitidal intervals change over the whole planet.

I have attached a computation of all the moon rises and sets for 2010 in Athens (long. 37h 57m; lat. 23h 42m). The high point of the moon is between moonrise and moonset (so for example, today the moonrise will happen at 22:05, and will set at 09:19 tomorrow, thus moon up will be at (11 hours 14 minutes / 2 + moonrise) 3:42).

The next step is to look up the tide times for your area. Usually you can get this information in local newspapers, because that website is for Volos, which is what, 300km away from Athens? So get local times to be more accurate.

The lunitidal interval is the difference from moon up until the first high tide after moon up. 3:42 to 13:42 is 10 hours on the dot.

PS: I'm doing all this from memory, so google around and try to find some more information regarding the subject.

Well, the world might be a big place, but the longer you spend searching it, the more likely you are to find someone like you ;)

Nope, but Greek isn't very hard to understand.

And you're welcome :)

Re: 2 competely unrelated questions
 

Well I guess my professors in literature were wrong when they were saying to me that greek is one of the most difficult languages in the world,with one of the biggest width of words and meanings:D:D:D:D:D:D

This depends on where the watch is located... I had a watch once that I bought in a Surf Shop that could be programed like this too. Rip-Curl was the manufacturer I believe. I ended up leaving it in hotel room , never to be found. For it to be precise you had to also know your longitude and latitude as this event changes in progression up and down a coast as well as further inland.


To help illustrate these relative changes mikemorrison ported a program called XTide over to Maemo called gtktide that I used extensively this past summer with no complaints. It is an excellent effort. A version for the N900 is also now available in the "testing" repos I believe.

Besides Gidget an Moondoggie , owners of fixed keel or deep draft boats could use the features your watch provides in determining the best time to pass through their harbors inlet. :)
