Software Ideas

Chirematic

• View the world as if you have different vision impairments
  • Initially (and maybe only) do color blind filters

telepathy-bluewire

• Connection Manager for Telepathy that goes over Bluetooth
• Implement the full range of telepathy support
  • Re-use existing blue tooth technologies as much as possible
  • Use XMPP for the rest
    • Should I instead just make an XMPP server that really goes over bluetooth?

telepathy sharing plugin

• Allows sharing of files with various IM contacts

Pickaxe

• A variable percision slide-rule inspired after my Pickett n600-es
• Zoomed out as all scales and has 2 significant figures
• Can select scales
  • Shows the results of the operation (like for C and D "X*Y=Z")
    • Only shows significant figures, no decimal place
• Zoom level selected by desired significant figures
  • How to chose zoom level and zoom area?
    • Swiping moves the slide part
    • Would it be weird to have swiping the non-sliding part be to actually pan?

100 Push Ups Challenge

• Would require permission for trademarks/copyrights
• Support multiple "profiles"
• Publishes reminders to calendar
• Workflow
  • Start the Challenge
    • Allows entry of number of push ups / age
      • If in small range, suggest alternate form
      • If in high range, kick user out
    • Allow user to select the day of the week for D1, D2, D3, and Test
  • Controls
    • Post-Pone a day
    • Repeat a week
  • DayN
    • Shows recommended push ups and where at in series
    • Timer for breaks
    • Can enter how many in the max run one does
  • Test
    • Enter how many did

Notes on porting to Mer:

• Python package dependencies change
  • I switched to python2.6
    • Probably most random apps will work with python2.6 as the #!
  • I removed version numbers from my deps (like python2.5-gtk)
  • python-glade needs to be explicit
    • Has installation problems as a dependency, after manually installing it and agreeing to some random question, installation of my package worked
  • python-xml requires python-launcher not to be installed
• Py2Deb
  • It puts package deps in the *.dsc build deps, manually delete them
  • It also does not follow the new category system
• Other
  • run-standalone.sh is broken due to a missing dependency, so I remove it from my *.desktop file when building for Mer
