I selected the 'Z' glyph because it's fast and easy to make without looking, and its four points are easy to pull out of a stream of touchscreen data - they are simply the maxima and minima of the functions (x+y) and (x-y). There are a bunch of things out there already called 'zlock' or the like. (As a result, you can make some non-Z patterns that fool it.) Within these parameters, a fair amount of variation (i.e., sloppiness) is tolerated.

2cm on the Neo), it must be drawn in the CORRECT SEQUENCE (from top-left to bottom-right), and it must be QUICK ENOUGH (completed in less than one second). It must be BIG ENOUGH (about half the smallest screen dimension in both height and width, approx. To unlock, just trace a large 'Z' with a single stroke of your finger or stylus, anywhere on the screen. To run it, just run zedlock.py from a terminal in the directory where it's installed. This is a screen-lock program in prototype form. My intellectual property law practice is online at And I'd love to have a simple softsynth and sequencer combination available on the Neo for sketching out musical ideas while traveling. Accordingly, as time permits, I have some ideas for a free-form handwriting recognition engine for Linux that I would like to at least prototype (the currently available options, for example as in the Nokia 770/800, are proprietary). I have a degree in mathematics, and I have interests in natural language processing and in electronic music. I hope to bring some useful PDA-style applications to the OpenMoko platform, either by porting existing desktop applications, by fine-tuning existing bitbake recipes and user interface definitions in the OpenEmbedded database to better take advantage of the OpenMoko form factor and capabilities, or by coding something up to fit my own personal needs.
