- Feed the Meter™ v1.0
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- What is Feed the Meter™?
-
- Feed the meter™ is an application for sounding the Newton’s built-in alarm after
- a predetermined amount of time. Feed the Meter™ creates an entry in the
- Calendar soup with a starting time the number of minutes in the future that you
- have specified. It also sets a five minute alarm for the event. And for those who
- feed a lot of parking meters it also deletes Feed the Meter™ events if you wish.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- How to use Feed the Meter™
-
- 1. Start the application by tapping on Meter in the Extras drawer.
-
- 2. Select the time remaining on the meter from the pop-up list. Okay, so I could
- have allowed you to write in a value. Don’t know about you, but I am always in
- a hurry and find the pop-up quicker.
-
- 3. Tap the Set Alarm button. The alarm is now set and Feed the Meter™ displays
- the time the alarm is set to go off.
-
- 4. Dismiss Feed the Meter™ by tapping the GoAway [X] button.
-
- Non-believers should now go to the Calendar application. There you will find an
- event, 30 minutes in duration, entitled “Feed the Meter”.
-
- Next time you run Feed the Meter™ it will ask if you want previous alarms to be
- deleted. This does not delete other alarms you have set in the Calendar
- application. Nor will it delete Feed the Meter™ alarms if you change the name of
- the event.
