PDF page memory

kfjellda@hotmail.com (max zeebra) — Wed, 18 May 2011 19:19:39 +0000

The standard PDF reader that comes with N900 is great for reading a PDF document. In my opinion it lacks one very important feature, remembering what page you are on in the PDF document. Using Mandriva with KDE I have gotten used to my PDF reader remembering the page I am on for each individual PDF document I might open. I can imagine with all the talented people who contribute to Maemo that the programming to have the PDF reader remember not only the page it is on for the last document, but for any document, is not that hard to program. I would be extremely happy with anyone that would be able to make tgis possible, and I am sure I am not alone. Please.

Remember the milk

Hello Community,

How about a Remember the milk client for our N900 ?

It is a great productivity app to list and manage tasks.

As I see it, it would feature a widget with the main tasks diplayed per priority, name or due date (regular parameters on RTM).

Sync would be possible online. Actually one can subscribe through Google ID + Pwd (and I already use Google's agenda and contacts and Gmail as quite some people do; but it's a pain to sync).

What do you think?

PS : I Am no developper though and I cannot start or help as far as coding. If anything, I can translate from English to French.

sms vcs calendar events to and from calendar

please I just purchased an N900 to replace my n97's (I have 3) and love linux. However my programming skills are poor at best. I would like to duplicate the sms / text calendar entrys to my symbian based phones in my business. Please. I can offer a small amount of money to make this happen please. I wish there were true compatibility between the N97 to the N900 (just an observation sorry)

Thank you all for your awesome work on so many other things! So far I love it much more than any android I have purchased / used! Why did nokia remove the purchase links for the N900??? Does that mean a new maemo device is coming very soon? Any idea if it will perform this sms text vcal / ical feature?

Thanks so much.

Pirate box

This looks great and I suspect it would be very welcome with N900 users to! The Pirate Box, what are the chances of getting interest for a port? http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox

personal_mediawiki--locally_accessible_via_netbook--mirrored_on_the_web

pierro78@gmail.com (Pierre Pham-Phu) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 15:16:26 +0000

(sorry if this is not the right spot to post this)

I am thinking of putting a personal mediawiki on an N900 (first thoughts here : http://carrypad.com/2010/02/22/airlife-100-thoughts-6-days-online-battery-and-pricing/#comments ).

I've got 2 issues to solve to make it interesting :

1) make it locally accessible to other devices (netbooks, laptops, etc), for example via bluetooth ?

This is interesting because (a) a bigger device is better to view/edit a mediawiki and (b) even if the mediawiki is mirrored on the web there are some cases where 3G is not good enough and you need to access the mediawiki directly on the N900, preferably with a bigger device than the N900 itself.

So how easy and quick would it be to access the mediawiki on the N900 from another device ?
Any idea what would be the most efficient way of doing that ? maybe with bluetooth PAN ?

2) mirror it on the web so that it's accessible from anywhere (even if there's no 3G connexion on the N900)

(this seems to be doable with “MySQL multi-master replication – circular replication with two nodes” : http://capttofu.livejournal.com/1752.html )

Any idea how this would work ?
