Fun with SSH and eSpeak
 
A friend stopped by and needed to use my phone, I handed him my N900 and he made a call and he commented how he has never seen that phone before and I showed him some cool games and applications. He decided to play some Need For Speed, Angry Birds, and Zen Bound.

I eventually wanted my phone back so I SSHed into my N900

Code:

espeak "hello mike. i have become self aware."
Code:

espeak "it is futile telling my owner. no one will believe you."
Code:

espeak "return me to my master and say nothing"
:p

Just be careful they might freak out and throw your n900 thinking it is posessed or something :p

is there a way to make espeak to say preconfigured text for example, shout as hell, when i leave my phone to the table locked, and my 2 year old gets a hold of it, and messes with my screen, or tries to unlock it.

you could probably whip something up with QBW, using the above command example and tying to the accelerometer readouts.

espeak is able to open text files (espeak -f <text file>). So you could easily write a script that allows you to lock your device in such a way that it needs another button pressed before you can unlock the device without espeak active.

AFAIK it can simply react to dbus calls, for instance. On a lot of macbooks espeak is used to verbally communicate the current time/hour.
