General Discussion / What Is The Battery Life On 5500

« on: May 04, 2005, 08:44:33 am »

I get about 3-4 hours the way I use it mostly for an organizer, reader,  database/entry, and picture viewer.  I rarely play audio or video on it, but do play games.  If I play a SDL graphics game or video I get only about an hour.  If I use it for audio it is 1-2 hours...so I got a 40G iPod for that...it'll last for 8-12 hours.

General Discussion / Fusion Of Zaurus And '00 Accord

I was wondering what you do for cooling on that PC in the trunk?
It has to get extremely hot in there...unless you live in Northern Alaska?

That brings to mind that great song by Styx...."Too much time on my hands!"

That's awesome!

Off Topic forum / Yopi

« on: February 18, 2005, 06:09:25 am »

Hmm.  It's not even a movie, but it is just an animated GIF.

I'm built it using qtopia-free-1.7.0-2rh9.i386.rpm, but only have
qpe-libqtopia_1.6.0-13_arm.ipk running on my 5500 with the original Sharp ROM.  

Are you saying you tried the Z apps on the Yopy and they don't work?  Maybe it is just an install problem with where the GIF and WAV files get placed.

I really didn't think that the price was much different than a new SL6000 a while back, but I recently looked at their website and didn't even find a way to buy one if I wanted to.  No pricing, nothing.  I'm not sure they are even available in the US, but I thought it might be a fun toy.

Topic 2.  I haven't even watched the 1st season yet, although I know someone who's downloaded it off Bittorrent in AVI format.  Looking forward to "seeing" it.  I don't have time to watch Sci-Fi or even set my old VCR due to a "cute" little baby girl running around screaming ELMO!
FROSTY!

I know this is off-Z-topic, but have any Z users tried a Yopi handheld?  Are they any good?

Would this work on your browser?
It is a Java based one.  Perhaps you can use the applet?

Software / Stupidest Thing Ever

« on: January 04, 2005, 02:52:37 pm »

Hmmm.  Do you have any Windows systems?  A laptop or desktop?  Perhaps you could just show them a Windows wireless laptop with a piece of free virus software like: Avast! http://www.avast.com/

Then setup the IP address on your palm to be the same as the "approved" laptop and then you can have at it?

I'd be willing to be a backup for you on Linux Issues, Software, User Requests for Applications, I read the forums about 2-3 times per week, and mostly concentrate on these 3.

Software / Added Summary Report To Glucozaurus 0.3.2

« on: November 30, 2004, 03:24:53 pm »

Hi all,

I visited my doctor, and he looked at the graphic plot on the "glucozaurus" program.  (Which I didn't write, but I got ahold of the source and made a couple modifications for my own personal use...I wish the author was reachable, I have tried email but haven't heard back...hopefully if he takes the code back over he'll keep the changes I've made.)  Although even with the added "rolling" average on the line plot, my doc said he could make judgements easier by looking at the actual data or averages of the data over "bins" like a histogram plot.

I thought about a histogram plot, but decided the actual numbers would be better, in some sort of summary report for the next doctor visit...and for myself to better adjust my insulin.  

The new summary report feature displays the following:
Avg, Min, Max, #above the set upper limit, #below the set lower limit, and # between the limits or "normal" for 5 different chunks of time: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Bedtime, and Overnite.  It also displays the rolling average total and colors it according to if it is normal (green) or falls over (red) or under (blue) your set limits.  In this screenshot, the upper limit is set to 140, and the lower to 80.

Screenshot:

This gives you a clear look at where about during the day that you are running too high, and is easier to look at vs. the raw data or a line plot.

In this version I also took out the "manufacturer" specific names of the insulin and just changed it to InsulinL (Long acting...i.e. Lantus, UltraLente or Bolus/Mixed) InsulinN (iNtermediate acting...i.e. Lente, NPH) and InsulinS (Short acting...i.e. Humalog, Novalog)

This program works great when you have a meter at work and one at home and want to combine/correlate the data...if you keep it updated.  I hope that I can get my blood sugar in tighter control with this program.

Thanks to the author: bstahl@xs4all.nl

General Discussion / Charge Battery In Car?

« on: November 24, 2004, 12:28:41 pm »

Do a search for "zaurus car charger" on ebay.  You'll find many for around $5 and $5 shipping for a total cost of $10.

I use one I got off ebay and it works great.
