I've installed tkcCalander and it's woking fine but now when I receive a beamed appoinment, my SL5600 is automatically putting it in the old resident calander rather than tkcCalander. How do I change this default???
I'm using the Watapon 1.4 ROM


Thanks

General Discussion / Need A Utility To Clean Up Extranous Files.

« on: January 13, 2005, 07:47:25 pm »

Is there a utility out there that will clean up old files and cache's on a 5600? Files like cookies, kismet search results, web page histories, etc, or do they need to be removed manually? Mostly, interested in recovering some space on the flash memory and some privacy issues too.

Thanks

General Discussion / Anyone Remember The Sharp Wizard

« on: December 20, 2004, 07:53:02 pm »

Well, not nearly as popular as I thought  
I looked for some pic's online and can find any. Apparently it's dropped of the technology radar. I bought mine reburbished in 92' or 93'. It was a clam shell design with super high tech touch screen and stylus (OOOOOhhh AAAAAAhhhh), came with 512 KB of internal memory and was totally ascii based I believe. It also had an expansion slot for a pcmia type, proprietary card for games, app's or just more memory although the chance of running out of memory was pretty slim seeing as how the were no graphics.
Just looked on Ebay too and nothing!! If it isn't on Ebay it doesn't exist right??!

I was going through my desk drawer and came across my old Wizard OZ9600II with it's whooping 512kb of memory. I seem to remember when they were the thing to have   Mine even has the optional 8 language translator card in case you find youself in Borneo needing a Pepsi.
Anyone else still hanging on to a relic?

For Sale / Wanted / Wtb: Sl 5600

« on: December 14, 2004, 06:06:44 pm »

Well, I bought mine new for $240 with shipping but it looks like the prices have gone up since Sony took them off the US market. I'd be willing to pay $300 or so.
What's the current going rate for one now?
Thanks

Is there a way to get a graphical signal strength with Kismet on a 5600 with the standard Sharp ROM. I've gone into "kismet_ui.conf" and tried to add a column for signal but no sucess.
Thanks

One more quick question.
I have the script installed and everything ready to go except this:

Next make kismet_qt run as root

chmod 4755 /usr/bin/kismet_qt


When I type in this command it says "operation not allowed"

What should I be doing?

Thanks

General Discussion / I need basic vi editor commands

« on: June 18, 2004, 02:33:40 am »

Thanks for all the help so far and I have another question.

When following the instruction on www.timekiller.com to create this script:

*********************
Next create a script to launch Kismet.

cd /home/QtPalmTop/bin
vi kis_script.sh

Enter the following:
#!/bin/sh
cardctl scheme CardResume
cardctl scheme qpewlan1 &    # SEE NOTE BELOW
kismet_qt
cardctl scheme CardSuspend
***********************

It won\'t write to this directory ( cd /home/QtPalmTop/bin ). I can write it to other directories but not this specific one. I tried to write it somewhere else and then use the mv and cp command but still no luck.

What am I missing?

Thanks

I\'m trying to get kismet to work on my SL5600 using the instructions on www.timekiller.org/howtos/kismet-5600.html which looks fairly straight forward but this is my first time using any kind of Linux so I don\'t know how to save the script once its typed, how to get out of vi, etc. Just the simple stuff!!

Thanks
