BRisa UPnP Framework has been released
Hello list! I'm pleased to announce the release of Python-BRisa version 0.8. We have awesome worked for this release and due to this, the BRisa project has started a new phase: we finally have a separation of the BRisa framework and the applications. Please, try it, we are still working hard to make the BRisa project much better than today. What is Python-BRisa ? = Python-BRisa is an UPnP framework written in Python with facilities for building UPnP devices, services and control points. The Python-BRisa API comprehends Internet messaging protocols and basic services (TCP, UDP, HTTP, SOAP, SSDP), networking facilities, threading management, logging, configurations, web server and more. Python-BRisa's runs on the maemo platform, Linux and on Mac with a few tweaks. We would really appreciate community feedback, bug reports and feature requests concerning attempts to run it on other systems.

Amazon Shopping App
All, fyi. While doing some shopping at Amazon.com I came across the following new App for the Iphone: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000291661 I wonder if it can find/read bar codes in the images? It would seem that Amazon would have no problem with an open source version of this App if, in fact, it is not already opensource. -- Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks, LLC * * mailto:jholmb...@verizon.net ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Amazon Shopping App
you'll probably like this if you've not seen it on the Turks - http://waxy.org/2008/11/the_faces_of_mechanical_turk/ Shopsavvy is very cool. I scanned a few things in Target and it showed me pricing and location of stores nearby.

This app may actually be more useful than the much touted bar code reading Shopsavvy app for the TMobile G1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgkSZS6o050 And I wonder where those Turks are located, given the price at which Amazon is probably buying their services.

Re: Amazon Shopping App
Jonathan, I would guess that the value of apps like shopsavvy is going to grow only as fast as the number of items in the barcode database. It also appears that the developer of the CompareEverywhere (formerly Andriod Scan) app is working on enhancements to that app as well: http://compare-everywhere.com/ It would appear that Jeff Sharkey, the app author is (or was) also an N810 user. http://www.jsharkey.org/blog/2008/05/10/winner-of-google-developer-challenge/ Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks, LLC * * *Serving the SmartDigital^TM home, entrepreneurial enterprise, and emerging network service provider markets* * * *GSEC Gold, GCWN Gold, GAWN, GGSC-0100, NSA-IAM, NSA-IEM*** *Cisco Select Certified Partner and SMB Specialist | **Microsoft Small Business Specialist | Speakeasy Certified VOIP Partner | Linksys Authorized LVS Partner | Qualys Certified Qualysguard Specialist* * * (M) 703 407 2278 (F) 703 620 5388 (W) www.acadiasecure.com primary email address: jholmb...@acadiasecure.com mailto:jholmb...@acadiasecure.com backup email address: jholmb...@verizon.net mailto:jholmb...@verizon.net Jonathan Greene wrote: you'll probably like this if you've not seen it on the Turks - http://waxy.org/2008/11/the_faces_of_mechanical_turk/ Shopsavvy is very cool.

Re: media-player library out of date
Hi, after nobody could help me here I tried to reset the library, but eventhough I deleted .osso/mediaplayer-* it still use the wrong data. Any hints? Did I asked the wrong way?

And the keyboard pops up when needed. I don't know what's with scite not doing that. If you need an text editor with syntax highlighting etc, then I'd recommend looking at Khertan's PyGTKEditor. I'll look into that sometime. For now, I'll be using leafpad. -- hendrik On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 6:08 PM, Hendrik Boom hend...@topoi.pooq.com wrote: I installed scite on my 800 (using the application manager, I believe). Looking at the menus, it's probably a fairly good programming editor. But it doesn't activate the on-screen keyboard. This would probably be fine on ghe N810, but it seems to be a show-stopper on the N800.
