Title: Nyc Zaurus Addicts Roll Call!
Post by: obscurite on November 23, 2004, 10:56:14 am

Everyone in the house with a zaurus stand up, say hi, and show some pride

My name's Daniel, I'm a computer programmer/administrator and (returning) college student. I bought my first Z, a gleaming new 5500 around then turn of the century (haha), and bought my second Z, a new C860 a couple of months ago.

Right now I'm doing the following things with my Z:
- trying different ROMs
- exploring what is involved in setting up a custom OS
- experimenting with the Qtopia SDK
- using the Z to take notes (FreenoteQT)
- using the Z for remote SSH access (and VPN if I get to it)
- recording audio on the Z

I use my Z with GPRS all the time, which is very handy for a quick email check or ssh session.

It'd be nice to have a meeting some day for the NYC ZUG (maybe possibly as a SIG within a linux user group or 2600 meeting or some such thing) but in the mean time, represent!

Someone try to organize one maybe a year ago, but I don't think it panned out.  I'm a unix admin too.

Thought you might find that interesting. Maybe we can open a new Zaurus group.

Hello!

I'd be intrested in attending . I just rescently purchased an SL-C3000 and have many (ambitious) side projects that I wanna do. Although I haven't toyed much with linux I do use FreeBSD religiously    and host some sites off another BSD box in Miami my hometown. I'm currently a student of Computer Science but am seriously considering switching over to Computer Engineering even though programming is what I enjoy the most. I hope to meet some other Zaruii users soon.
