Sigh :( I realised today that PUSH needed a way for software people to get at it easily. So I spent the entire day packaging an I/O library and porting it to Maemo so there was a python app that could do: ReadDigitalChannel(1) or WriteAllDigital(17) to do the I/O This afternoon I created a garage project and then wrote an article: http://mer-l-in.blogspot.com/2009/09/want-to-push-need-kickstart.html Never mind... Hmm, can I get dispensation to enter PUSH using a $100 SmartQ ? Maybe I could run ssh from the N900 and have the N900 drive a Maemo powered SmartQ... proxy host mode...
