Synchronize Getting Things Gnome! with your android phone

pcabido — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 13:30:50 +0000

At this point of your life you should know about Getting Things Gnome! and how easy it makes your life!

A port of GTG for android is in my perspective far a way as there is no native python support, etc. So how can you have your GTG tasks on your android phone?

Easy!

Signup for a (free) Remember The Milk account
Activate GTG’s Remember The Milk plugin and sync your tasks with RTM
Install Astrid on your android phone (available on android market)
Sync Astrid with RTM

Signup for a (free) Remember The Milk account
Remember The Milk allows you to manage your tasks online. Just go to http://www.rememberthemilk.com and signup for a (free) account.

Activate GTG’s Remember The Milk plugin and sync your tasks with RTM
Thanks to Luca Invernizzi’s GTG plugin, Remember The Milk, it’s possible to sync GTG with Remember The Milk. The plugin is currently at version 0.3.

Please note that task descriptions are not synchronized in this version.

Luca’s RTM plugin is shipped with GTG so if you have the latest version you only need to activate the plugin.

Activate GTG's RTM plugin

After activating the plugin you only need to sync the tasks between GTG and RTM.

Install Astrid on your android phone (available on android market)
This step is actually very easy. Just open the Android Market and search for Astrid and install it.

Sync Astrid with RTM
Open Astrid and in the Synchronization menu Activate the Remember The Milk service and also activate the Main Menu Shortcut.

The Sync shortcut in the main menu comes up handy to sync Astrid with RTM with minimum effort. Then all you need is to hit the sync button.

That’s it. This is as simple as it can get. No more excuses for not being organized!

One more thing, by default Remember The Milk will send email notification of tasks on their deadline and it’s also a nice feature to have.

I’ll leave you guys with one more screen shot of the Astrid’s home widget that also comes in handy.

Finally and for the just for those of you who are wondering, I’m using…

… Getting Things Gnome! development version (latest trunk version)
… CyanogenMod 4.2.14.1. I also suggest a look at http://www.openandroidteam.com for the latest android version (2.1_r2).

Ubuntu Karmic + Adobe Flash (amd64)

pcabido — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 13:40:43 +0000

Recently I started to have some problems viewing flash videos, specially youtube videos. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn’t. Sometimes just the buttons in the video/flash movie didn’t work. Looks like the problem is related to some update in karmic.
The solution for this problem is to install flash-player alpha 10 (amd64) from Adobe.
There is a nice post at ubuntuforums with the steps you need to do in order to solve this issue.

Ontem fui à bola! E confesso que já tinha saudades, graças ao amigo Tiago Alves experimentei a ver a bola no piso 1, cadeirinha almofadada ao lado da tribuna vip. Vê-se a bola dali que é um espetaculo!

CyanogenMod for HTC Magic

pcabido — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:12:09 +0000

Yet another HTC Magic Rom.
Yesterday I tested some more HTC Magic roms. One of those roms was the CyanogenMod for HTC Magic (32a) + Android 1.6.
It’s a very nice rom, very quick. It does not have the HTC Sense UI that in my opinion is great looking but not so useful.
While trying out roms I was looking for efficiency and CyanogenMod was the choice.

You can get the CyanogenMod rom here.

HTC Magic + Sense UI

This post comes late. I’m using a cooked ROM on my HTC Magic for some time now.

I’m using MyHero Rom and it’s working well!

I only had to Root my HTC Magic (how to root HTC Magic) and then load a custom Rom (how to load a custom rom). It’s a very easy process.

Autarquicas 2009 – Évora

pcabido — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 12:40:38 +0000

Antes de começar a opinar devo dizer que não tenho qualquer cor política nem sou militante de nenhum partido.

Arrisco a dizer que 80/90% da população eborense não faz a mais pequena ideia de como é constituída a câmara municipal e a assembleia municipal. Para esses deixo aqui um link bastante útil e esclarecedor: Sobre as Autarquicas.

Estou bastante desiludido com o rumo que Évora teve nos últimos 8 anos. Consigo reconhecer o que actual presidente e candidato do PS, Ernesto d’Oliveira, fez de bem mas também consigo reconhecer o que fez de mal e ainda consigo reconhecer o que não fez. Este último ponto (o que não fez!) é o que mais me desilude.
Ao fim dos primeiros quatro anos ainda dei o beneficio da dúvida e há 4 anos atrás votei no Sr. Ernesto. Hoje já não repito a “asneira”. Simplesmente porque não tem visão, não tem projecto e está a atrasar Évora. Évora não precisa de alguém que vá governando, precisa de um líder com visão e iniciativa.
Estive a ler o Programa eleitoral do candidato do PS, que está disponível no seu site e chego à conclusão que é mais do mesmo. Já chega!

Évora não pode parar no tempo, não podemos perder mais oportunidades.

Temos alternativas e é preciso dar-lhes uma oportunidade, para o bem de Évora.

A minha alternativa preferida e onde muito provavelmente vou votar, projecto Ganhar Évora do Sr. Eduardo Luciano.
Vejam o Programa Eleitoral (resumo). A mim convence-me.

Há ainda o projecto do Sr. António Dieb, “Évora Estamos preparados…”, para mais informações podem ir ao site ou ler o Programa eleitoral.

O candidato do CDS é o Sr. Luís Madeira. Procurei pelo site para poder também ler o programa eleitoral mas não encontrei. O mesmo se passou com o candidato do Bloco de Esquerda, Miguel Sampaio.
Se tiverem conhecimento dos sites ou links para os programas comentem que depois incluo aqui.

No próximo fim-de-semana podemos alterar o rumo das coisas e dar um “pontapé” no atraso de vida. Espero que isso aconteça.
