Train
=====

Last week I traveled  by train (from Ostrava to Prague and  back). It was my
first train trip after more than half  of year, I think. One way takes about
3 hours so  I decided to take a computer  with me to be able to  work in the
train. I  decided to use as  small bag as possible  (I only had a  small bag
with a phone, a GPD Pocket computer,  with few cables and the A6 notepad) so
I didn't carry anything interesting with me (no Palm nor Psion).

So I used only these devices:

* Pebble Smartwatch:

It is possible to sync their TimeLine thing (a list of calendar events) with
Ubuntu Touch Calendar. So I put all  needed details about the journey to the
calendar (including my  seat number) and synced the devices.  It was nice to
have all  these information easily available  without need to hold  a mobile
phone during train  boarding. By the way, I usually  connecting the watch to
the phone once a day just to sync the things.

* Ubuntu phone

I still use  my BQ Aquaris E4.5  Ubuntu Edition. It's a low  end phone today
but it has everything that I need. I only  used it to sent SMS to my wife to
inform her when I will be at home...

* GPD Pocket

I still  use this little  guy as  my main portable  email/note taking/office
computer (it has 7" screen and it  weights about 0.5 kg). This device can be
charged in the train (it was the Czech SC Pendolino) so there was no need to
utilize it's great battery life. On the workshop (where was no way to charge
it) if was on for 3 hours (with the screen and the WiFi connection still on)
and there was still  more than 75% of battery power. I also  find that I can
write  with my  normal typing  speed on  this device  (the size  of keys  is
identical with normal  keyboard only few keys are  misplaced - unfortunately
they  are some  Czech-specific symbols  - but  after 8  hours of  continuous
typing I'm pretty sure where they are).

And that's all. Initially I thought that I should carry also my Ben NanoNote
(as a  music player) but it  is possible to use  the phone in this  role (at
least in the train which is noisy).
