Agreed. There are some things that you wouldn't expect to attenuate signals (that much) as well, such as glass, that can have a significant effect. Tinted glass can cause a 12-20db drop.
In an outdoor environment you also should keep 60% of the fresnel zone clear. This has to be taken into account when thinking of line of sight.
This looks like a fantastic tool. Unfortunately I use firefox. That being said, I use similar extensions for other sites including RES for reddit. I will definitely use it if/when there is a firefox extension.
User configurable "hotkeys" would be cool as well so that the user could configure specific keys for navigation.
I was looking at the product picture for the module with the breakout board (2). It looks like the only available GPIO come from the 10-pin header at the top of the board. From what I could see it looked like there were only 6 free GPIO. Am I missing something? I did not see any datasheets or PCB layout files on their site.
I guess it depends on what you are doing. I rarely use the trackpad at all. In fact, I'd say that 85-90% of the time I have my trackpad disabled. Whether I'm working or not I tend to get by with just the keyboard (tiling wm).
I guess those would be important points to me if I did any work with graphics or UI.
'task all' will display all of your tasks with the status (e.g. pending/active/completed).
'task reports' lists a number of all the premade reports that will give you some of the information you are looking for. You can also list reports based on status by doing 'task status:pending'. Please see the docs page (http://taskwarrior.org/docs/tutorials/filter.html) on using filters.
The burndown reports are pretty useful too (they are graphical and can help you visualize that status of a project very easily).
Have you heard the good word about taskwarrior? I did not see any mention of this cli utility in this post. I have not tried doing, but use taskwarrior on a daily basis. It is fairly simple and allows for prioritizing tasks as well.
Did they ever finish the Android client? I looked into them very briefly 2+ years ago, and I wanted something to finally get me to use a smart phone for something other than procrastination.
I found Mirakel[0] but I do not think that was the app promised by the original dev. Still googling after I hit submit out of curiosity.
I don't think the main Taskwarrior group is focusing on a specific mobile app. With the task server now available hopefully other developers will create mobile apps for Taskwarrior. I'd like an iOS app, while Todo.txt works ok with dropbox and the iOS app I'd prefer Taskwarrior since i wouldn't have to use a cron job to set up recurring tasks.
A quick google led me to this (https://github.com/svijee/taskwarrior-androidapp). I did not develop it and, unfortunately have an iphone 4 for the next few months. It looks fairly promising though (looks like it is still being developed).
I think tiling would greatly improve the usability. If windows had tiling and something like dmenu I would be much happier. The start screen sucks, especially if you have a lot of applications that you commonly use. It's impractical to look for a application in the tiles. I know that you can go to the start screen and start typing in the name of the program (sort of like dmenu), but why should you have to go to a pointless screen to do so.
There are many keyboard shortcuts available for gmail. You have to enable keyboard shortcuts in the settings though.
See this link: http://gizmodo.com/5995218/a-cheat-sheet-of-every-single-gma...
Or enable keyboard shortcuts in gmail and press shift + '/'
Some of these keyboard shortcuts address some of the issues pointed out in the post, but I did not see any shortcuts that allow you to edit the subject in a composition window though.
I have not been terribly inconvenienced by the changes to the interface.
