well if you do will be kind enough to help im sure that would be very kind of you. I like the look of liferea...its easy and simple. I think its best to maybe avoid writing on this thread for fear of overposting! Im not apt in programming so i dont think id be able to write a script for it. but i know what i want it to do i was also looking into a symbian app that would automatically switch on the bluetooth at certain times...which would/could in turn trigger the rss feed ! So where do we start?and how can i help you in this? <div class="gmail_quote">2008/5/28 Robert McWilliam <<a href="mailto:rmcw@allmail.net">rmcw@allmail.net</a>>: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 02:53:29PM +0100, Javad Ayaz wrote: > Are there any Rss readers that will beam info to a bluetooth phone !!! > knewsticker / akregator / other KDE application </div>I don't know of any apps that do this already (which doesn't mean much since I've never looked for it), but it shouldn't be hard to write the functionality yourself. Writing a script to copy the files from where ever your pod-catcher puts them to the phone is fairly easy: if you can mount the phone's filesystem (obexfs does this via FUSE but I haven't used it so have no idea how well it works) one rsync command will do, if not then you'd need a bit more logic to decide which files to send and then send them (off the top of my head I'd think this would be by getting a list of files on the phone already or if that was too much hassle looking at which ones are newer than the last time they were synced to the phone.). The next issue would be how to trigger the script: easiest is running it manually but there is scope for automating it either when the pod-catcher downloads new files or when your phone comes into range of the computer. In both cases you'd have to find some hook in the podcatcher or something that detects the phone being within range (blueproximity does this - intended for locking/unlocking the computer but it allows you to specify the commands to run for each so there is no reason it couldn't trigger the sync). I'm happy to help you through writing and hooking up such a script off list (save annoying anyone with a long thread) if you want. Once it's working it could go in your howto for anyone else wanting to the same thing.       Robert ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam     <a href="mailto:rmcw@allmail.net">rmcw@allmail.net</a>    <a href="http://www.ormiret.com" target="_blank">www.ormiret.com</a> Weinberg's Law:           Progress will be made on alternate Fridays. -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div>
