Re: ideas for a personal cluster with gta04

what did you have in mind for the geolocating via gsm towers and wifi?
http://openbmap.org ? 
do you know any projects which make use of such data (triangulation). this 
might be very interesting to enhance navit's routing possibilities if it
takes to long to get a gps-fix.

Add to that: real time updating of shared todo lists - I add an item to our 
shopping list while my wife is on her way home, and she gets a notifier of it 
when in the vicinity of a supermarket (or on the todo of my neighbour or 
parents, whoever happens to get near a supermarket selling the particular 
product - maybe I'll be there first)

In case of supermarkets there's not so much to win, but some other products at 
greater distances with friends happening to travel by it's even more useful.

Anyway, I have to get my programming skills on par first...

Forgot to mention the "product category" of hitch hikers...

Yes this seems very suitable!

I havent seen such free systems yet, but they probably exists.
I have only seen proprietary systems of the type.

This use-case is good because it illustrates why we want a private
system to perform this, and why it needs to be a cluster.

upgrade my freerunner

2012-06-06 Thread Jason Cawood
Does anyone have any info on where I could purchase upgrades for my
freerunner?  I've been trying to use it as my daily, but have found
the response time is dreadfully slow.

I'm unsure what you mean. What type of upgrades are you looking for?

I heard a rumor that I could buy a faster processor or more memory from the
gta04? I've been using the fat and dirty build and just recently installed
android cupcake, but response time takes more than 2 seconds for each
action.
