    as well as scanning off, can "add a new pnd" be added? so you scan once and then add manually as you grab new stuff This would allow for fast startup but normal menus, without having to wait for a new scan to be done when you add a single file

    You should *absolutely* be putting them in a tab marked LAZY DEV and its should pop up a dialog saying that the pnd is incorrectly created every time the pnd is run Having something that is categorised in the same consistent way whether in mmenu, XFCE or Acme Desktop is very worthwhile it will...

    Minimenu And Tool Changes.. Rfc :)

    Wouldn't it be easier if mmenu followed the free desktop categories and sub categories like XFCE allowing overrides for some user selected pnd's would be good, even better if this same setting effected the XFCE menu too So when your Games/action games category gets overloaded you could move...

    Debian On An Sd Card

    Assuming my dodgy lcd cable holds up too... I've been looking at modifying the ubuntu arm netbook boot iso to run, however I've also got an arduino project on the go! (arduino makes pic mcu look like stabbing yourself in the face) but I digress I think some form of stripped down ubuntu would be...

    Class 10 16Gb Sd Card At Reasonable Price!

    alas even brand names are no protection, the same happened to me with a transcend card and within a few months a friend of mine had the same experience with the same brand...

    Pandora Touchscreen Pressure Sensitivity On The Pandora

    unfortunatly looking at the code for xf86-input-tslib it doesn't seem to report pressure change events and unlike say wacom xf86-input drivers there are no xorg.conf settings.

    I'd favour *not* resource sharing! basically the menu would provide an api something like int loadResorce(filename) - if a resource is already loaded by menu or other plugin no loading takes place, its id is returned string getResourceType(id) - "WAV" "MP3" "ICON" "IMAGE" "FONT" void...

    tbh there is a case for doing the whole menu in python, a lot of Ubuntu's config management is done with python if only just because its just so damn quick to develop with! and its not like a menu needs to be implemented in C for the sake of speed. Your point about dynlink plugins is a very...

    Coz its what us geek do! I've implemented a plugin system using glibs gmodule api which looks a lot more confusing than it is!!! http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.26/glib-Dynamic-Loading-of-Modules.html it works well and it worth a look There are a lot of advantages to a plugin system and...

    Frontier: Elite 2 -- Is It Possible To Port This?

    frontier 2 was *such* a crap game I just could not conceive why anyone would want it... I waited *years* for that crap and it ended up being written by the wrong author of the two! In trying to make it "realistic" all the very unrealistic but very cool dog fighting to be had in Elite was...

    Class 10 16Gb Sd Card At Reasonable Price!

    good luck using CRAP like transcend SD cards - they are notoriously bad! sometimes it really is worth paying that little extra! plus CCL have always been peerless in terms of customer service over the years. I only went the class 10 route as its for a boot device.

    for my mind there are 2 or 3 types of users the none tech dude(ette) that has the Pandora for emulation / games - Its about the games and not the box in their hands which is a means to an end, they want a menu that JustWorks(tm) as simple as possible, maybe just with the possibility to make...

    Cmus Tip

    if you take the trouble to take a very quick squint at the doc, its very easy to use, I even bound right shoulder to next track... "standby" (low power) mode used to be silly slow, its nice its enough to run cmus now and by my calculations it nearly doubles the battery life while using cmus (in...

    Class 10 16Gb Sd Card At Reasonable Price!

    Class 10 16GB sdhd card http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=53927&tid=gsearch With VAT and delivery it comes in at a shade of £28 which I think is quite good. I've never heard of storage options before but I've been using the sd card intensively as a boot device all day and a...

    Debian On An Sd Card

    lol - naaah sid not that bad ! if you want real pain try upgrading angstrom packages with opkg, lots and lots of broken symlinks for libs... file conflicts oh the joy of it! but seriously I can't see Lenny being that far out of date Angstroms not exactly bag upto date! I do fancy checking out...

    Debian On An Sd Card

    I assume there's a net install image for arm? I was thinking of ripping that apart adding the pandora kernel and modules so I could enable usb networking, but I'm not sure when I'll get time for that! :D

    Programatically "wake" From Standby Mode

    I'm glad to report nothing! :) but you will need to come out of LPM to read what the alarm is for ;) ... fortunately thats just a script to run, which if the PIM is flexible could be a default action along side an optional alarm and dialog.
