I'm programming on Freerunner. Waiting for testing, in train, in school, even in bed. Everywhere I don't have access to my PC. The most of SHR Settings, SHR Installer and opimd code was created on FR, using just nano, vala-terminal, Illume keyboard and my fingernails ;) Once I was using FR as calculator on math's exam. During test I wrote small python app to count everything I needed ;) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
