Yeah, I too have thought about having multiple Desktops.

One solely for music, another for news, one would be strictly for reading, and another for multimedia.

I don't think that will ever happen though since you would need to killall hildon-desktop which is super messy to do.

I would be interested in what all RSS feeds that people here have.

I've got quite a few from this site:
http://www.allyoulike.com/

I get updates on new magazines, ebooks, audiobooks, DVDs and medical information.

For news, I use CNN but it's a little too fluffy for me.

I have another from http://feeds.feedburner.com/Comicsland.

The tablet can be great for comics and graphic novels.

I also would lke to hear some of the YouTube channels people have subscribed to that aren't well known.

I don't have that many to share.

For Poker, this is really good.

If you like Hitchcock.

Spiritual, but you'll need to dig around for the good movies it has there.

Anyone else that would like to share their crap?

Last one from me.

I launch all of my programs through ASUI and Personal Launcher. When using Telescope, if you remove all .desktop files from /usr/share/applications/hildon, a long press on the Home button takes you directly to your desktop. Very handy when you're stopped at a light and wish to quickly launch a new app.

A long press always goes to the desktop, no need to remove any desktop files.

Good idea.I've found quite a bit just searching but some things are going to be tricky or near impossible to find that way.

I might have a couple to share.

XMMS(music player)
It works and looks like winamp minus the winamp theme.The repository is listed at http://www.gronmayer.com/it/

IceWM?There's no deb for it AFAIK and it's not really an app but it's the most effecient way that I've found to get a desktop environment while still being able to use maemo apps.It's a minimal desktop but it's fast.You have multiple desktops there, with hotkeys to switch between them.Battery life seems comparable although I can't really tell because the battery meter doesn't work.

And maybe Xjig(jigsaw) with easy debian.It seems to work really well.Starts fast, zoom/pan, can use any picture.It's pretty cool.It doesn't have a save feature though, at least with the old version I have.


Going to check some of those out now, thanks.

As mentioned before in this thread, you can use Winamp skins.

One game that didn't get talked about much was Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back.

There's also T.O.M.E.

You can find a hacked libvte deb in this thread.

It will let you have a full 800x480 Xterm screen.

Actually, here's an old desktop of mine using a Winamp skin.

Ah, I didn't see that part my bad.

A lot of good stuff listed in this thread.

Since I tend to read the forums at AtariAge on my N810 quite a bit, I have ported the lastest Atari800 emulator to n810 and haxored it up so that you can make every keypress (N810 keyboard + xkbd). I've also avoided the keys that are being used by Telescope... a big problem for me with the previous version of Atari800 that was ported to N8x0. This isn't in the repos, but it's in my garage page.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/atari800/

You can use it to play some games, but the N810 is just a bit too slow to emulate the system at 100% without doing some frame-skipping... I use it mainly to quickly test things out that people post in the forums.

I've also ported Handy_SDL to N810 (Atari Lynx emulator), but there is a proper port for the N900 that is much better... hopefully someone will backport that to the N8x0. Games are playable without sound... and it's CLI only. No garage page for this one yet...

I also ported Haxima/Nazghul... but there is a bug that causes it to crash fairly early on in the quests... haven't figured that one out yet.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/nazghul071/

I've noticed that there's not much being developed for the N810 in this community anymore... most activity is on the N900. It's too bad more stuff isn't being backported, but I guess the lack of hardware 3D really hurts. I've been thinking about buying a N900 to get more "up to date" (LOL).

If you use Eboard.

If you telnet, SSH, BBS, etc., konwert filters is absolutely wonderful.

You can find those files in that ADOM thread I mentioned previously.
