Re: Help Getting Jolla Phone

Like others, I would advise you to buy one that's already in the USA if you possibly can; it saves not only shipping costs and risks, but also any potential import duties or customs issues. If you...

Re: Automate login to public access WiFi hotspots? Fon / BTWiFi

Some further updates. I've given up on doing this in perl, we'll get further, faster in python, and there's a suggestion to integrate it with an app already written in python.

Re: Automate login to public access WiFi hotspots? Fon / BTWiFi

Hmm... apparently, on some further reading, the FON and BTWiFi hotspots natively support autologin via WISPr, which is used in autologin apps for Android, iOS, etc.

Re: Automate login to public access WiFi hotspots? Fon / BTWiFi

I don't have an N9, but I guess that favours a standard approach using wireless-tools and bog-standard Linux scripting capabilities, rather than an N900-specific app. This is more or less what I had...

Until recently, the availability of free or reciprocal WiFi hotspots in the United Kingdom (e.g. Fon / BTWiFi) was not something that one could rely on. So, whilst I've been sharing Internet access...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] rtmpdump & get_iplayer

Reliability over 3G isn't an issue for me; with just a 1GB data package and a typical TV episode involving ~100MB of download, I think I'll be limited to downloading on my cable connection at home.

If and when we do get incron packaged for maemo, that gives rise to a new app idea. At the crudest level, someone could write a GUI for incrontab, which would allow to select directory, monitored...

Inotify & incron - methods, software, use cases

Re: [Idea]program to instantly send new photos into pre-defined server or via mail

As I understand it, inotify asks the kernel to keep a watch on the given inodes and the kernel generates an event when those inodes are modified. The monitoring itself shouldn't cause any appreciable...

It (probably) isn't. Look for Estel's original post on measuring capacity using bq27200 - the capacity measurement only reduces by a maximum of 12.5% on any one learning cycle. So, if it starts out...
