Re: Updated GPE Beta

I couldn't find a way to enter this bug in the maemo bug list, so here it is. Let me know if there is a better place to submit this.

Re: Is there any way to extract GPS lat lon and timestamp information from the N810 ?

I haven't used minigpsd, and it may be the right answer for what you're trying to do.

You can also consider the python code I put on this page which prints out GPS data from the n810:...

Re: just migrated from PalmOS, with tips

I'm still using straight gpg with a small script to re-encrypt my password file which is stored as a .csv file. I edit the csv file with vi from xterm on my n810.

The script I use is here:

Re: 3d n810

I think I would find a built-in projector more interesting than built-in 3D.

Re: The initial focus of Mer

Understood... I reported the bugs I found on the wiki. And it seemed that the 0.16testing3 worked better for me than 0.15 so I'm sticking with that.

[Debian] left-handed scrollbars

Easy Debian is great!

To get left-handed scrollbars in gedit (and probably most gtk apps) I created the file /home/user/.gtkrc-2.0 and added the line:
