Wow. OK, in order.

gman1: I'll be making it cut off in the next update (and also play MP3 files), but the code to do it right is such that I want to put it through a little more testing first.

Snoshrk: No time line yet. Priority is on the contacts and task manager base functionality. I definitely want it to sync, but to some degree the order things are done reflect what I need.

tso: Configuring the week to start on an arbitrary day will be a setting (it's the subject of a FIXME in the code - I know Sunday isn't right for everybody. In Islamic countries Saturday is the first day, and that's not right for any European countries, so this has to be a user setting). If this is a real problem I can look at squeezing it into the next update.

wesgreen: Interesting. Did not know that about the built in alarm application. That would have to be an optional setting too since in some environments it should not do that (I could see a journo using the device in court with the headset plugged in getting in some real trouble with that feature). I cannot see an obviously clean way of doing this, and the Nokia components that handle the sound do not appear to be open source, but it looks like it may be possible to access the Nokia alarm dialog without otherwise using the alarm daemon so that might be a way.

silvermountain: My best guess is that seqretary is having problems handling your time zone. What does /etc/localtime point to? One way of quickly testing this would be to change your system time zone to Australia/Sydney and seeing if it works then (you will need to restart seqretary after changing the system time zone). If it's not the time zone I'll need a copy of /home/user/.seqretary/events.db to look for more clues.
