comment Are there any ways to access iCloud-based files with Ubuntu?
@Tom maybe, although it'd be sufficiently hacky (two processes watching the same directory) that I'd be nervous about unforeseen data loss bugs. Also, it doesn't appear currently possible to have Dropbox sync data outside its own directory: dropbox.com/help/12/en. Thanks for the idea though.

1. Has not been true for quite a while, as of iOS 5. iOS devices can be updated over-the-air.

comment How do I get mlocate to only index certain directories?
No, I have a lot of data, so it's important that it's indexed. Have clarified in question.

comment Can I use my prepaid phone balance (in pesos) to buy from the Software Centre?
Your question is unclear. Do you want to convert currencies? Or do you want to buy applications? Why is broadband relevant?

comment How do I get mlocate to only index certain directories?
OK, thanks for the clarifying edit. That's a bit impractical, because as I add subdirectories alongside directories I want to index, I'd have to remember to add them to PRUNEPATHS. However, it would work. Thanks for the suggestion.
