2008 / Maemo-related stuff 2008; Nokia Internet Tablets

Maemo-related contributions and projects/hacks

Here are some things I've written for the Maemo Platform, also known as the Internet Tablet OS for Nokia Internet Tablets. I'm developing using a N800 running OS2008 (Diablo). I've been at the Maemo Summit 2008 in Berlin in September, too, where I presented gPodder and Panucci in a lightning session.

My contributions to Maemo-related projects (see also Maemo User Profile):

Maemopad+

Finger-friendly UI support

Rename memo dialog prefill with old value
Use proper Gtk AboutDialog
Implemented "paste" for checklist datatype

Below you will find several small tools and experiments with the tablets:

Maemoified SMPY

Maemo-SMPY has its own webpage here: Maemoified, Pythonified Perlific SMS Sender

Dragnotes Prototype

This is an idea I had for a interface with stylus for taking notes:

Bretter übernehmen (Maemobretter)

This is a simple PyGTK-based full-screen application that aids in calculating and logging work done in a sawmill. Measure, type in, hear (if you have flite installed, Maemobretter will speak the entered value out loud) and read the result.

This utility focuses specifically on having a very finger-friendly and easy-to-read interface, so you never need to use the stylus, because fonts and buttons are very big and easy to hit with the finger.

maemobretter.py (Updated: 2008-02-22)
Dependencies for the above file: Python2.5+PyGTK, Flite (for sound output)

Vagalumisierung

A Vagalume HTTP Server in Python

This is a small HTTP server for your tablet (needs: python2.5, and python2.5-dbus) to remote-control Vagalume.
