Well, there are users, and there are users, right? You I trust, but we've just recently seen that there are some users (<cough>TheoX</cough>) who have rather strange notions of what activities are and are not healthy for an N900 to endure. I'm really nervous about someone grabbing an app like this, cranking up the parameters all the way, and leaving the thing running until something fails.

Let me make one more appeal: I personally keep a little LED flashlight on my keychain for when I really need a portable light. These things provide far brighter light than the N900 can, for a longer period of time, and are disposably cheap. For example:

Couldn't something like this work for you? Thanks!

Ack! Sorry, didn't consider that; yeah, I set the timer off and running without any way to control it... I'll fix that in the next update.

Actually, I did already pick up a second N900 a few months back (although the donations I've gotten only covered about half the price, so I'm still hoping to get a few more ). It has, in fact, helped me quite a bit for development work, as I still use my main N900 as my phone; I can now put experimental stuff onto my test N900 without worrying about messing it up.

I am considering whether a third N900 might be helpful; I could more easily play around with alternate OSs like Nemo or Arch, without the worry of interfering with either of my primary N900s...

But in any case, I want to make sure that people don't think there is any sort of obligation tied to this app (or to Pierogi). This is free software (both in terms of money and of freedom), to do with as you please. Thanks![/Off-topic]
