Part of the enjoyment is keeping what I've already delivered working. Beyond that, its a prioritization game between maintaining my current projects, helping with new projects, and creating my own new projects. I have two in the pipeline after The One Ring.

Currently I'm calling the first one Chimerical which uses the devices camera as a way to see the world color blind (and maybe other visual impairments?). All I've done on that is reformatted the code in Mirror to better fit my needs and tested an algorithm for color blindness.

The second idea I have I've no name for, I've done no work on, and I am unsure on its feasibility. Long before the iPhone had Bluetooth support for P2P apps I wondered about the same. It wasn't till recently that I realized that Telepathy can be used for P2P app support. The limitation is link-local requires you to be on the same network which doesn't work for Cell Phones. I'd like to experiment with a Bluetooth connection manager for Telepathy. It would offer simple things like chat (and maybe expose proximity by signal strength?) but the focus would be on expanding telepathy's opportunities for P2P applications.

Thanks. Just don't expect much progress on my ideas. The problem with new ideas is someone has to maintain them which takes time away doing even more of those ideas.

Epage, you mentioned "and make it so if you use the custom sound notifier, you can specify the location of the sound file " how do I enable this option? is it an advanced script that has to be added? If so can you post it for experimental use only?
*Edit thanks for the nice sort feature in the call log! Its exactly how I wanted it.
**Edit2 For one contact in my list, if I try to click on the message to reply, I get error 'phoneType' error at the bottom. It has only happened for 1 contact. Its using the GV add book and this contact has mayb4 4 numbers. Correction I can not click on her name at all without the message appearing at the bottom. This problem may stem back a few releases as I vaguely remember it happening

Hmm I've tried this by pieces but not integrated

In ~/.dialcentral/settings.ini

Code:

...
[alarm]
...
notifier = /usr/lib/dialcentral/examples/sound_notifier.py
...

In ~/.dialcentral/notifier.ini

Code:

...
[Sound Notifier]
...
soundfile = /home/user/notify.mp3
...

Err, I think that'll work. I also added a "~/.dialcentral/notifier.log" to get debug info on whats going on in the notifications. This will cause lots of writes so I don't plan to have it enabled for long

Glad to hear

The One Ring Status:

I got it showing up for creating a new account and allowing you to login by depending on account-plugin-haze and using its generic UI. I then saw that anything related to IMs was broken. I've done some refactoring due to python-telepathy making breaking changes between what I have and what is on the tablet. I need to validate those changes and see what next breaks. Hopefully soon at least something will work on the tablet and I can see what all you all break

Knowing issues will come up I implemented a command prompt withing The One Ring. If you start a conversation with your account number (it has to be exact, including whether to have the leading "1" or not) it will interpret messages as commands and spit back out the results. Below is the output when typing "help"

Code:

(XXX)-XXX-XXXX: help
(XXX)-XXX-XXXX: Undocumented commands:
======================
call                 get_callback_numbers  is_authed            send_sms
get_account_number   get_state             is_dnd             
get_callback_number  help                  reset_state_machine

EDIT: This output is taken from Empathy and I am not lying and secretly have anything working on the n8x0 or n900

Could you send me a log of this which will help me know where the error is coming from so I can try and fix it?

Haha I can't say whether you should focus on fixing notifications or work on onering since I still use the n800 (and sadly both isn't an option =P). So I'll abstain. =P

How complex is the python used btw? I'm trying to learn python (first for automating some of the work in Excel to speed up calculations) and secondly I'm hoping to contribute to some maemo projects. Though I'm pretty much learning from scratch whenever I have time free from school and work.

Hi epage.

Could you possibly post a temporary fix with text going off the screen when typing a SMS message?

If we're all forced to use the same font and font size with Dial Central, it should be easy enough to implement.

Just ask DC if the last word typed is greater than 58 total letters allowed on one line while in full screen mode. If it is, then carry that word down to the next line.

Biggest problem would be tracking in real time the total number of characters typed in each line, especially when complicated entries are being constantly modified, inserted and deleted.

Is there a way for DC to know if it's running in windowed or full screen mode?

Anyway, perhaps you could implement a similiar solution when reading SMS messages as well since the lines for these cut much too short before reaching the scrollbar.

Thanks for the continued work.
