Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxng
« on: March 13, 2008, 09:29:35 pm »
I know we're offtopic... but at least there's activity!
Barry -- Ya. Look at the android stuff. All the recommendations
for programming on it are like anti-best-practices. It's sad.
Android has potential -- but the iPhone is out there.
The pope recently released a list of new items that are considered
sins and I guess I'm going straight to hell because programming
in Objective-C++ was right at the top of the list.
Anyway, I like the zaurus form factor and keyboard. I looked
at a lifebook, but the keyboard was just unusable. I wish sharp
would come out with the next generation PDA, but I'm not
holding my breath. We seem to be in a phase of incremental
improvements, and sooner or later there will be a big enough
jump that a PDA will look good again, vs a phone... but phones
are where the action is going to be for quite some time now.

potential, but now mine has been a paper weight
for over a year.

Scott, what 'support just evaporated'???
Never knew that there was really any 'support' for the Z's other than this community here...
Unless you live in Japan....
What I mean is -- this place use to be hoppin' ... two pages of threads with updates almost
daily. New software quite often -- things current... things that worked.

Bah, I wasn't trying to say that the iPhone is
*better* than the Z or whatever. I liked the Z,
but the support just evaporated. It had such
potential, but now mine has been a paper weight
for over a year.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Deleting Spy.org Archive
« on: October 09, 2007, 03:44:48 pm »
I apologize -- when I looked at the site, I thought it was dead.
I'll grab the data off my dvd backups and set it back up to the site.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get a new rom or a
modern c++ + qt on my clamshell and it seemed that sharp
killed off the zaurus line -- so it just seemed like zaurus was dead.
I'll post here when I locate the date and have it online.
Scott
ps: if anyone wants to actively MANAGE a theme site, I'd
be willing to provide the access.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Theme Site
« on: October 09, 2007, 03:41:00 pm »
the jedhead site with themes was like 98% of my traffic -- it was the only thing that was used...
but even then, it didn't seem like anything change or was updated on it in years.
If anyone is interested, I could bring that content back to let it be moved, etc.
Just let me know.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Gcc-4.2.1+glibc-2.6.1 Cross Toolchain Available
« on: August 28, 2007, 01:32:44 pm »
actually, it's thank you ... for the time and effort to work on this toolchain --
copying the files and letting them sit on a host with a fast link doesn't take
any real effort.
any time you have a new version, just pm me and give me a day or two
(to stop by here) and I'll copy it up. If youneed faster turn around,
pm me and i'll tell you how to contact me.

I'm here -- pdaXrom doesn't have a lot of activity -- so I no longer check it daily.
I'm slurping down the files now and I'll post a link when it completes ... at 9% now.

ok:

should be faster to dl ...

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / My Attempts To Build Qt4
« on: July 21, 2007, 01:12:22 pm »
I'm waiting anxiously -- I haven't upgraded my my zauruses in about 2 years now.
Having Qt4 available would be the trigger for me to upgrade.
