Common Lisp for OM (Was: Programming OM)

2008-05-07 Thread Oliver Uvman
Jesus! I thought I was the only one wanting to program CL on the OM.
I've had lots of interesting ideas on how to use a gesture-based
interface for writing CL, which could work only thanks to the sparse
syntax, and plan to make that some of the first things I program for
my OM. Hooray!

Re: Getting Things Done with Openmoko

2008-04-21 Thread Oliver Uvman
I am using the really excellent, open source, TRACKS to handle my GTD
business. It's an extremely awesome implementation that does pretty much
everything. It is web based, so I will be able to use it with my OpenMoko
using just the browser. :D

It seems to have good APIs, so creating an app that adds a task (and uploads
it whenever inside wifi range) shouldn't be too hard. I really advice you
all to check it out - even if you haven't read GTD (I haven't). I got
started using it in about five minutes after installation, which was quick
and painless thanks to some magic software that just bundles every
dependency it has (might be bloat if you already have a web server).
Alternatively, there might be publically usably web servers up already.
Might we one day see a http://gtd.openmoko.org?

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying.

playing media != IPTV
I know of the glamo chip. It will do little to help decode IPTV-style
compression realtime AFAIK.
As mentioned in this thread before, you have to transcode offline prior to
playing it on NEO. Glamo might help to avoid prerotating, but still you
have
to decode/transcode.

Re: 3 nets

2008-03-30 Thread Oliver Uvman
NEO is no phone, but only a something like a 300MHz/128MB computer. You
won't
find any in this class to do tricks like IPTV :-D (at least w/o a graphics
video accelerator card, or other dedicated video hardware)

The GTAv2 will have a 3D-acceleration chip. :)
There are already videos on youtube of the old GTAv1 playing media, so it
shouldn't be a problem to do it on the v2

Google Summer of Code

2008-02-27 Thread Oliver Uvman
As you all probably know, the summer of code 2008 has been announced, and
now is the time for organisations to start readying their applications. Will
OpenMoko try to grab a few of us want-to-get-into-OSS students for 3 months
of paid summer coding? Please say yes. Pretty please?

As a student I already have my eyes on a few organisations that I know will
try to become mentoring orgs, but if OpenMoko also got onto the list I would
be extremely happy to try to become one of your crazed code monkeys. So what
say you?

Regards,
Oliver U

Re: Bike power (Re: solar power)

2008-02-11 Thread Oliver Uvman
I haven't read the rest of this discussion, but a human body in
starvation will first of all burn muscle for energy, and after that
it will start burning fat. The starvation response in the body starts
setting in a few hours after you ate last time, which is why
bodybuilders eat about 6 times a day.

I am not a human body expert but my guess is:
You get hungry and also your reserves are getting utilized (fat and
muscle is burnt as well).

RE: Application idea: Bicycle computer

2007-12-02 Thread Oliver Uvman
Would it still be possible to use the touchscreen then?

Doesn't really matter since you'll have accelerometers. Give it a
light knock to the left to see stat screen X, knock it to the right to
stat screen Y, knock it right on to light up the screen. Make it do an
automated 911 call with recorded voice and GPS co-ordinates if it
detects sudden, strong, acceleration in one direction and then a
complete stop. Only your imagination limits you. :)

Re: Battery time

2007-11-09 Thread Oliver Uvman
Hi John!

That was a very long, detailed and good answer. Exactly what I needed. The
fact that the battery time is over 7 hours rather than 3 (like most laptops)
gives me faith that it will be quite enough for me. Big thanks!

Battery time

2007-11-08 Thread Oliver Uvman
Hi!

So for the longest time, I've been worrying about the battery life of the
Neo. Before I buy the GTA02, it is something I'd love to know. The wiki has
entries talking about which power management things are implemented and
which aren't, and I assume this will increase over time. On the iPhone page,
the Battery row of the table says 8h talk on iPhone and replaceable 1.7 Ah
battery charged via USB on the Neo - not very extensive info.

So, since many of you seem to have Neos now, and since the dialer app is
(supposedly) working now, how's the phone for real-world usage? How long
between charges for *you*? What do *you* do with it during normal usage?

Cheers,
Oliver
