I'm in Bellingham: a suburb, right? :P I'd be interested on a weekend.

Thanks, Poke! I'm not a big gamer, but this is fun. I like these little games withall the strategy and none of the distracting color, details, etc. Just pure strategy/gameplay. :-). Sokoban is in the same vein as this, though less about reflexes.

Nice tutorial. It's fun to see, even in these early days, all the different, helpful posts popping up. Thanks!

Sweet. I need to go read the doc's about pnd... Thanks ED.

In a nearby thread Stuckie has done some great work making the debian repo's easily accessible for the rest of us. Download an extend file, run his .pnd, et voila. I can apt-get install 'til my heart's content. Only it's not content yet. :P When I run an application inside my debian...

I was amused to discover that the "low power mode" switch seems to make a good "pause" button when listening to music. Often when I hit it again, the music will pick back up where it left off (using Exaile). Occasionally it won't. Also, I need to experiment further, but I believe Wifi is...

Dare I suggest... vim? It has everything you mentioned -- and much, much more! And it's already baked in on the NAND. Exaile is nice: I use it on my home machine, too. Want to explore hotkeys to make it more convenient on the P. Or MUCH BIGGER ICONS. But PIM is my biggest want. I don't have...

Personally, I find the default mappings quite good. Arrow keys, PgUp/Dn, Home/End are all brilliantly useful. My only quibble is to swap the L and R buttons: if I don't have a thumb free for the shift button, I'm likely not to find the L button (on the same side) too convenient. Perhaps pnd's...

My gut reaction was, "Of course I rebooted!" But I've been using it all day today with no problems, including a long round-trip in the car playing music. So maybe, just maybe, I hadn't rebooted. Perhaps an offer to reboot at the end of the install (but only if kernel changes were made?) would be...

Oh! The Pandora button DOES bring up a menu? I guess I need to try it again. Faster. Once we figure that out, it'd be fun to look into remapping the Pandora button. Maybe into a custom little menu app. Something that would make efficient use of the hardware buttons (arrows, dpad, shoulders)...

It says "Kernel already up-to-date". I haven't tried Notaz's kernel: just Hotfixes 2 and 3beta. Sound is clear again for the moment. Any ideas what I should be watching for/trying to help diagnose what's going on? --Todd EDIT 2: I've just spent the last hour browsing the web, doing stuff...

The sound apps where I noticed scratchy sound are Exaile, MPlayer, and Angry Drunk Dwarves. The other app's in play when the problem occurred... probably Thunar, Fennec, ORage and Pidgin all running in the background. It's fairly inconsistent. If I quit exaile, do other stuff for a few...

I just got my Pandora today. Scratchy sound under hotfix 2. Hotfix 3 cleared it right up -- for a while. Then it gets scratchy again. :wacko: FYI. --Todd (posting from Pandora + fennec)

Hellollo! Posting from my Pandora. It is a thing of beauty. Many thanks to the team: this is just what I'd hoped for when I placed my order back in the day: it's hard to believe it's finally here! Now I need to learn to use all the extra buttons to speed up navigation. But first: Pandora...

Ach, complain, complain, excuse, excuse. You're getting good advice from these folks: don't you think they thought of these things before? They know what might be a good platform for the Pandora and what might not be. That's why they have the audacity to suggest these platforms to you. The...

Thanks! Are those pallets sitting in your town hall?

Any language (more or less) will do for learning. If you watch out for a few gotcha's, even Javascript (the language run in most web browsers) can allow for fairly elegant program design (see Douglas Crockford's writings, videos for a detailed starting point). It hardly matters where you start...

From Craig's twitter: :D Where's that cheerleading smiley?

I thought the java solution to namespaces was a reasonably elegant solution to this problem: e.g., com.domainname.packagename

Mmmm... I'm a fan of apt: it does the job very nicely. But y'know what would be sweet? Embed the "repository" information in each PND, so it knows where it came from. A PND-manager daemon could occasionally look for updates by querying each PND for its repository, check the repo, modify the icon...
