[Linux-disciples] virgin gozone

[Karl Sokol]

Hi all,

This is probably a long shot, but my insurance company gives me money for
logging in steps off of my pedometer.  I plug it into the USB port on
Windows which triggers a program called gozone to record the miles, clear
the pedometer, and send them to Virgin HealthMiles.
http://us.virginhealthmiles.com/pages/home.aspx

In Linux, the program opens in wine and puts a little Virgin icon in the
taskbar, which when I right-click on, gives the options to "Visit
VirginHealthMiles.com" or exit.  Clicking on "visit" opens a Wine Internet
Explorer and goes to the page.  So, there is life there.

Plugging in the pedometer gets this at the tail of dmesg...

I think that it does the deleting part as well.  However, it doesn't upload
my steps, which means a daily trip to Windows, which is obviously
cumbersome.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Is there any hope?

Grace and Peace,

Karl Sokol
