clock
 
why isn't there a 'big clock' program for the n800? i know there's maemochron, but it's dead. how hard is it to learn python? how hard is it to port a palm os program?

Why not have a go at porting something and get back to us when you've finished? :D

You know, every time I see someone on here ranting about how the ITT is a CONSUMER DEVICE, DAMMIT WHY DOESN'T ANYONE UNDERSTAND, threads like this one always come to mind.

Should it really be necessary to add a repository (WAAAY over the head of the average "consumer") or port something to get a big clock on a "consumer device"?

And I know my way around a computer (linux, mac and windows user) - just not programming. last time was in jr high, and it was in basic on an apple ][ plus.

i still want the clock, darnit...

The IT is definitely a consumer device if you use it for what it is, browsing the internet, reading your mail, etc.

If you want more.... If you want to race with your commuter car, you need to know how to tune it, otherwise you'll never win...

Ton.

I see you found the bug in my solution :p

you could have left the numbers off... then it'd be right more often.

OK - I know the IT works great as advertised - I love it. But is a (working) clock that much to ask for?
