I'll be htere, but in a semi-dirty UTE - could not have it washed yesterday, as I was working until 4h00 this morning - just got up out of bed, so maybe it won't get washed in time

See you guys at 13h00

I'll hold you guys to that. I still reckon an interstate / national meet half way would be fun.

To all that made it to the meet, glad you guys had a good time.

Lucky enough meddler we actually got pics of the meet and a group shot so it should come out good i know u complained like alot of people of no pics the last few times we done meets

meddler · 03-18-2007, 02:53 AM

me complain?

I look forward to seeing the pics. I think it is about time the Sydney guys got organised for another meet.

NiN^_^NiN · 03-18-2007, 03:29 AM

It's been awhile since sydney has had a meet hasn't it?

I'm hoping to go around most of the aussie states to see some guys from my carclub when i get holidays perhaps

meddler · 03-18-2007, 03:34 AM

If you decide to come here, I will definately try to get something organised. At least we can go out for that beer.

The last Sydney meet was early last year. I think it was about March, so yeah, it's been a while.

acejas · 03-18-2007, 04:31 AM

cant wait to see the pics...sounds like it was good...so much can be gained.

Id drive down to Sydney for a meet....dunno about wagga tho

Hey M^ck^y i've been reading up on AT commands and all that and i think i've found out a perfect solution for us Windows Mobile people

Im thinking of making a program that u run on the actual PPC which will use the standard windows mobile commands and actually send the info from the phone to the pc not the other way around like the other programs

This will allow all windows mobile phones from 2003 to WM5 and up to all work the same without messing with AT commands

When a sms comes in this program in the background will send this through the serial connections say bluetooth to the pc which will read the serial port and store the sms into a database and will notifiy you on the pc screen

When a call comes in this will communicate to the pc and mute the sound and allow the pc to pick up the phone

Also get the addressbook and copy it each time to a database to update each time the program on the phone is set

And this program can read commands sent by the pc with the phone number and use the internal windows mobile api commands to make calls

This would fix any problems with sync of the phone to address list not updating

If i ever get time to do this who knows but it looks like a viable solution for PPC users

meddler · 03-18-2007, 05:18 AM

hey Nin, althought my time is a little limited, I'd like to help out with this. I have just got a WM5 phone (O2 Atom actually). I was going to use an old nokia on prepaid with PhoneControl but if this could work, it solves the whole problem with having another phone number for the car.

If we need to write software, this will give me an excuse to put the C++ course I am doing at TAFE to good use..

NiN^_^NiN · 03-18-2007, 05:45 AM

Thats the problem with me to my time is limited altho i did find a commandline for rapistart.exe that can dial if the PPC has powertoys installed

And i've found some nice lil tidbits of sourcecode for getting sms list and address list etc

It's all there available just need time to put them all together

tooch · 03-18-2007, 05:53 AM

Hey guys, was great to meet some of you and have a good chat and look at some of your systems!

Sorry I had to leave suddenly, had to visit a mate's place to watch the grand prix!

long.1 · 03-18-2007, 08:03 AM

G'day Guys,

Great to meet you all today. The carputer installs were very impressive and the WOW factor was enormous !! As good as these forums are, there's nothing like seeing things in the flesh and chatting about issues face to face. Very valuable indeed.

My pleasure - happy to help. Warning though: If you leave the next one up to me, it will be out Keilor way !!

Pictures in a matter of moments. I see there's a "Post Meet Threads" section. Not sure if I'm meant to put them in there, or whether they'll be OK to put in here. Any thoughts ?

Cheers,

Long.1
