most of my things automatically update and i check it while i'm waiting ( eating food, stopped at home, waiting parked..etc )
automatic operations:
email is received
road maps
real-time access point information
real-time & projected weather forecast
every time i start up it accesses my access point [if i'm at home] and sends/receives from my server the following:
receives:
"to car" songs + music vids
calander information, alerts and whatnot as a reminder.
configuration scripts
well-planned playlists
sends:
access point logs
gps information
songs i get elsewhere that i want to listen to at home.
while i'm driving its easy to access:
a shit load of songs
thats about it
i'm not dickin around with everything while i'm driving. its normally me just hittin' the next button, but i do have playlists set up, so its pretty easy to avoid hitting any buttons at all....i'm not a dangerous driver!! *famous last words*.. seriously i am safe..besides, i drive a manual so i gotta pay attention
stuff when i'm not on the road driving, but in my car:
watching [music] videos
links to my ftp servers
ssh to my home computer, and hosting server for maintenance or whatever.
check forums
upload pictures
listen to more music..
instant message people.
i'm planning on getting a video camera soon so i can upload my video adventures / family trips and what not to my car-puter via firewire so i don't have to buy new tapes nearly as often.
more stuff than you might care about
