Software / Avant Go for Linux?
« on: August 03, 2004, 12:14:29 pm »
Does anyone know of a port or some sort of software for Linux that will read Avant Go map files?  So you can download maps from http://www.mapquest.com and save them on your pda for zooming and such?

See http://www.avantgo.com/frontdoor/index.html

They have software for PalmOS and WindowsCE but not Linux.

Haven't seen too much interest here in Indy, although the membership/attendance at Central INdiana Linux Users Group meetings is picking up.  

Don Vosberg of Novell gave a very interesting presentation on SuSE Linux 9.1 this week, and next month we have Mark Lesh giving a prestentation on Linux TransGaming with WineX (renamed Cedega).  http://www.transgaming.com/

Software / New App - Star Wars RPG Name Generator
« on: July 01, 2004, 07:11:44 pm »
Here is another new app.  Inspired by my need to randomly generate NPC names when GMing D20 Star Wars...as well as the RPG Names/Places Generator ipk.  

Select a species and click "Roll" and you'll have serveral male/female names from which to choose.

CINLUG may be the closest thing for CINZUG in Indy...unless we get some more interest.

5x00 Hardware / SD fdisk not working (Help???) (Advice???)
« on: June 14, 2004, 12:12:27 pm »
I have already submitted to SanDisk for an RMA and should be sending it in for a replacement, but here is what I ran into.

I couldn\'t read files from the card and it originally had a Fat16 filesystem on it.  This is the 2nd time this card went bad, but this time it won\'t let me put a new filesystem on it...or repartition!!!

Though well I\'d better try and reformat so incase it happens again, so then I could fsck it if it has a problem.

Tried:
fdisk /dev/mmcda

Said that the device didn\'t have a valid partiition table.

Created a new table with a single Linux 83 primary partition and wrote it to disk.

I ran fdisk again (just to check) and it still said there was no vaild partition table.

I went through the same thing (rebooting) between to ensure the partition table was re-read and still it was unreadable???

It\'s like it isn\'t writing the partition table to the device.

At that point I called SanDisk and got an RMA number.  But any other advice before I send it back?

I ordered a new 256 card (Viking) from Amazon (see this post) http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...c&p=31281#31281
for only $53 - $20 rebate = $33 bucks.  

When I get it and if/when I get the new SanDisk card what is the general  consensus...should you reformat the cards to Linux partitions or should you use the original manufacturer\'s partition on there?

Windows Issues / Outlook Versions & Sync (v1.43E 5500 version)
« on: May 12, 2004, 08:05:11 am »
I know I should grow some and install a new ROM, but this one is working fine for me.  Question is this...I have Office 2000 at home and Office XP at work.  When I sync it up at work, I take it home and sync it.  Then I go back to work and re-sync and inevitably there are some conflicts.  It\'s like it never will sync up. Even when I always let the Zaurus win conflicts it doesn\'t sync.  Any experience with this sort of weirdness?

Qt/Qtopia / Plotting in Qtopia (or Java)?
« on: May 05, 2004, 02:31:47 pm »
Anyone have a good example of a plotting application in Qtopia?

I tried their app example that uses QPicture, but cannot get it to compile, I think it is because QT_NO_PICTURE is defined in the include file for Qtopia/include/qconfig.h

I\'m wondering if I might have to try a java example instead, any pointers?

User Request for Applications / Guitar/Banjo/Mandolin/Bass Guitar, etc. Tuner
« on: April 20, 2004, 10:27:32 pm »
Hi all,

I\'ve had a real need for either the Powerchord or the QMusician tuners, but couldn\'t find Powerchord and QMusician isn\'t installing/working right on my 5500.

Both of their homepages have gone bye-bye, and I couldn\'t find a current project in sourceforge I could possibly use.

I\'d like to have assisted the folks who already have developed apps to help them make them more user friendly where you could select an instrument, plug it into your Zaurus or hook up a mic to your zaurus and have it tuned, but alas...(I did find the source code for gString for GTK which I might try and port/change and create my own.)

I went out and bought a hardware tuner for my instruments for only $15.  I\'d still like to get one on my Zaurus though.

Any input from developers or musicians on this topic?

Thanks,

Qt/Qtopia / Resize meanings?
« on: April 19, 2004, 02:59:21 pm »
I was wondering if there was a good documentation/summary of what all the resize settings for Qtopia widgets mean.  

fixed/fixed is simple, bur if set something to minimum/preferred, expandable/maximum, etc. what am I really getting?  I more used to X programming where you attach widgets to frames and such...I\'m assuming I have to use some of the grouping features to get this to work right.

Okay, I\'m rambling, any advice would be welcome.  Thanks again.

Software / New App #4: d20 Dice
« on: April 18, 2004, 11:26:01 pm »
Hi...I\'ve tried other versions of a dice roller program and decided to write my own.  This one doesn\'t require the keyboard like the java dice program to enter the number of dice.  It uses spin boxes, radio boxes, and buttons...now you can just click an image of the type of die you\'d like to roll and see the result in the results window.  For you gamers out there I\'m sure you\'ll appreciate the way this program works.  Cheers.

P.S. offroadgeek, please add this app to the zaurus feed.  Thanks.
