Hi all,

The screen protector and headphones have been claimed, so this offer
is now closed. Apologies to everyone who missed out!

zzz Freerunner headphones and screen protector - free to a good home!

2009-11-02 Thread Chris Hogan
Hi all,

As the subject says: I have a set of Freerunner headphones and an
Invisible Shield screen protector (screen only) available to anyone
who wants them. I don't have a use for either - they've been
cluttering up my bookshelf for over a year now - so I've decided to
pass them on to someone who might use them. If you want either or both
of these items then send me an email with your address and I'll send
them out.

Australians will get preference, to keep down postage costs, but the
offer is open worldwide (If the recipient wants to cover the cost of
postage I'd appreciate it, but it's up to them).

The screen protector is still in the box unused. The headphones I
think I used once, to see if they worked. I'll try them again before I
send them off, to make sure they still work.

Thank you!

Chris.

Re: [Om2008.9] Where to set Illume's preferences?

2008-11-27 Thread Chris Hogan
Not sure if anyone else followed this up, but this was bugging me as
well. I have no idea how to tell Illume to prefer one keyboard layout
over the rest, but I was able to work around it. The keyboard layouts
are stored in:

/usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards

I moved the default one ('Default.kbd') out of the way (renamed it to
'Default.bak', in case something goes wrong and i need it back), then
renamed 'Terminal.kbd' to 'Default.kbd'. It's a dodgy fix but it
worked for me... the terminal layout now appears by default.

Chris.

Audacity probably isn't the best app for doing this, as it doesn't
edit .wavs directly - they are imported into a 'project', then
exported again. When exported, the .wav's sample format/rate is
inherited from the project, not the original .wav file (unless it has
changed recently - been ages since I've used it!)

mhwaveedit in Linux would be a better choice for this... not sure
about Windows apps though, possibly wavosaur or wavepad?

Or sox, of course :-).

My Freerunner hasn't arrived yet; when it does I'll check this out, it
should be fairly easy to write a shell script which will convert any
sound into a ringtone. It would be nice if there was an app on the
phone itself to do it too...

Chris.

Re: Value of headsets and pouches for 10 pack orders?

2008-05-16 Thread Chris Hogan
Hi All,

Thanks Nick for the spreadsheet - I guesstimated the postage at about $50 for 
the bulk order and $20 for the individual units, based off past experience 
shipping stuff from the US - didn't even think to use the Aus Post 
calculator.

In other words, I trust your figures over mine :-)

For other Aussies, Nick's figures show a cost of $465 for bulk vs $481 for an 
individual order.

Nick, would you mind if I posted your figures on the Group Orders wiki?

Chris.

Re: Value of headsets and pouches for 10 pack orders?

2008-05-15 Thread Chris Hogan
Hi all,

Yeah, with or without extras the customs cost will be the same... and it works 
out (I think) at about $425 per phone - higher than the cost of an individual 
order (which falls below the $1000 threshold and so doesn't attract customs 
charges).

So the only 'savings' we're getting are the extras packed in with the bulk 
orders. If they're only worth (say) $20 each, it's not worth the hassle, it's 
just as cheap to order individual phones and the extras too if we need them. 

But if the extras are worth more, we still might saving money.

Hope that makes sense :-).

Value of headsets and pouches for 10 pack orders?

2008-05-15 Thread Chris Hogan
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows how much the bonus pouch/headsets being offered 
with the bulk orders would cost if purchased separately?

The Sydney group are looking into the (huge) customs costs, and it looks like 
it might actually work out cheaper if we ditch the bulk order and just order 
individual phones unless the value of the extras outweighs the extra 
cost.

Thanks, Chris.
