> any more information on your rideable? sounds intriguing > Oh, just your basic PCM-5822 with a 10" transflective display, mounted in a Marsee motorcycle tank bag, running a copy of Debian hacked down to fit on a CF card, with a tiny water resistant wrist-sized keyboard about the size of a dollar bill mounted to the strap. Some day I want to build a nice clamshell case out of fiberglass so that I can actually bring it outside. After I got the hardware working, I started work on the software and got distracted by some unrelated bright shiny thing for quite a while. When I got back to it, the CF card stopped booting. I intend to get back to the project, but starting with the software first this time, since that takes more work and can be implemented independent of wacky hardware. I also need to figure out what to use for the GUI, since its in portrait mode. I was going to use Qt since I read that it could be rotated, but my current idea is actually to do the GUI in ActionScript as a Macromedia Flash app and connect to a back end via an XML socket - if I need Emacs, I can always flip to a console, its more important to me to be able to quickly create a new UI than to use arbitrary X apps. -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:_______________________________________________ Wear-Hard mailing list
