Personal Note-taking

To Do

  1. Connect my XO to home network.
    1. I suspect that the issue is that I have my router set to channel 9, rather than the recommended channels 1, 6 or 11 (see Wifi_Connectivity#Channel).
    2. Followed instructions at WPA_Manual_Setting without success.
  2. Update the built in Spanish dictionary that is accessible via the Browse activity. Currently the gender of each noun is unknown. This is easily fixed by preceding each noun with el or la.
  3. Read this: bunnie's teardown report
  4. Read this: Interview with OLPC's Founding CTO Mary Lou Jepsen, by Sean Daly

Done

  1. Requested my Activation_and_Developer_Keys

Ideas

  • Clock activity. Description forthcoming.
  • Hand-made vinyl or fabric sleeve for protecting the goods. Something like this idea
  • Math app that demonstrates neat tricks with numbers, e.g.
    • The sum of the digits of a number is 9 if it is evenly divisible by 9.
    • To multiply a number by 5, divide it by 2 and move the decimal one place to the right.
