itsnotabigtruckjpwhiting: i've done some other little apps but they aren't as interesting, though you might find ad-hac useful if you don't have that yet00:10
* jpwhiting doesn't have a sim card in his N9, so that might be less than useful :)00:10

TronicAny news on the overclocking side?00:27
itsnotabigtruckTronic: not that i'm aware of...the problem is that no one with the knowledge to do it is willing to make the module and distribute it00:31
itsnotabigtruckTronic: perhaps you could see to it, given that no one else is00:31
itsnotabigtruckit's definitely possible, rainisto mentioned on FMC he's already done it himself00:32
TronicI have no idea how to compile kernel modules for Harmattan, to start with.,00:34
itsnotabigtruckTronic: it's surprisingly easy00:35
TronicAlso no idea on how to do the frequency setting.00:35
TronicI suppose the "surprisingly easy" part involves setting up scratchbox. I only have Qt SDK.00:35
itsnotabigtrucki forget the command but you point make to the kernel tree and to your source00:35
itsnotabigtruckand kbuild takes care of the rest00:35
itsnotabigtruckyeah, you need scratchbox, and also the headers package for what you're building against00:36
itsnotabigtruckyou need to get scratchbox anyway00:36
itsnotabigtruckeveryone doing anything serious needs itsooner rather than later, and i don't understand why it has so little uptake within this channel00:36

villagerKhertan: from what I can tell from a couple of searches, one of the differences is that StyledText isn't supported, maybe not implemented, and probably isn't supposed to work02:01

ieatlintno one is suggesting the new openmoko phone either04:51
*** benares_98 has joined #harmattan04:54

*** teleshoes has quit IRC05:03
itsnotabigtruckieatlint: the new openmoko phone, however, costs a *lot*05:07
itsnotabigtruckand i'm not under the impression it's very usable as a smartphone, really05:08
itsnotabigtruckuseful though if your priority #1 is knowing exactly what's on your phone, and hacking on stuff05:08
itsnotabigtruckon the other hand, these days the n9 costs significantly less than $600, and it's completely usable as a smartphone05:09
keitsin9 costs 299e in finland... though they're out of stock for now05:10
itsnotabigtruckalso dammit, didn't realize teleshoes would leave so soon05:10
ieatlintitsnotabigtruck: yeah... i wish i had the money to throw on it right now though05:12
itsnotabigtruckit might be cool to have a gsm850 openmoko g105:13
itsnotabigtruckit doesn't look like anybody stocks those these days and they're pretty rare in general05:13
itsnotabigtruckwell, g2 i guess, the freerunner05:13
ieatlinti have a gta0205:14
ieatlint850mhz in fact05:14
ieatlintbut 666eur for the gta04..05:15
itsnotabigtruck= just shy of $900 with today's exchange rates05:15
keitsiI paid 699 for my N9 :P05:15
itsnotabigtruckkeitsi: E or US$05:16
keitsie05:16
itsnotabigtruckthat's...way too much money for an N9 :p05:16
keitsiwell, I needed a new phone ASAP, didn't want an android or iPhone05:17
itsnotabigtrucki thought the N9 started around US$70005:17
itsnotabigtrucki.e. around 500 eur05:17
keitsiwhen they hit the stores, the price was 700e for a while05:17

auenf'future disruptions'16:32
pabut the strangest part of the article is glorifying Qt16:32
paand then pushing WinPhone, that does not support Qt16:32
faenilnot yet16:34
pawill it ever support it officially?16:34
faenilprobably not officially, but who cares16:35
faenilbut I'm sure Qt support will come from the community as soon as they give us the official NDK16:36
faeniland the bigger Qt becomes, the easier it gets to port it to other platforms (see. WP)16:37
faenilbigger = more developed16:37
*** tbf has joined #harmattan16:38
auenfthe glorifying of QT is for the next billion iirc16:38

luke-jrAFAIK, the WinPhone contract forbids Nokia from porting Qt to it17:39
faenilthen community will make it :) where's the prob...one guy alone made Qt for Android in 9 months (preprealpha)17:40
itsnotabigtruckluke-jr: but i thought they already did port qt to it17:43
itsnotabigtruckbut it might never see the light of day17:43
itsnotabigtruckit might be for internal use only17:44
itsnotabigtruckand pa: i think it's well known that meltemi/nextbil includes some meego code, but it's definitely not meego17:45
itsnotabigtruckthe original story is a huge distortion and everyone's been reblogging it without any fact checking17:45
itsnotabigtruckhttp://appscout.pcmag.com/mobile-apps/268765-nokia-no-qt-for-windows-phone-7 hrm17:46
faenilitsnotabigtruck, we know that, MSFT doesn't want to use more than one SDK, bla bla bla17:48
paanyway, qtmobility should also start wrapping basic harware features, like radio, wifi, and so on, otherwise apps using these sensors/devices wont be portable17:50
paor rather cross-platform, sorry17:50
faenilproblem is qtmobility is not working anywhere correctly17:56
pawell, for contacts it works (on harmattan)17:57
pamore or less at least, i didnt do any advanced stuff17:57
faenilyeah, but harmattan and symbian are the only ones offering partial support17:58
faenilit's at early stages on Android, iOS, QNX ports17:58
pawell yeah, but those are not official ports17:59
payou should blame those who implemented it, not nokia/qt18:00
faenilpa18:01
faenilpa, I know, but what we care about is how crossplatform our software is, as you pointed out :)18:02
faenilpa, anyway, I get your point and agree18:02
faenilbut isn't wifi management already included in mobility?18:04
pai dont know, but probably not. i've been looking everywhere for switching wlan on/off without success18:04

itsnotabigtruck85 quid :O20:52
teleshoesdamn! thats really really cool20:53
DocScrutinizerwell, it's a complete assembly of AMOLED plus C-TS20:53
teleshoesnow i dont have to use a screen protector20:53
teleshoesAMOLED Complete Lcd DIsplay [sic]20:54
DocScrutinizerhehehe20:54
teleshoesoh wait, i  thought it said they had it20:54
DocScrutinizerDUH. missed that part as well20:55
teleshoesoh well20:55
teleshoesi guess have to go right back to feeling guilty about not using a screen protector20:55
DocScrutinizeryou still could ask a Nokia Care how much they'd charge for swapping the TS20:56
teleshoesin america!20:56
DocScrutinizerI mean, N9 is supposedly still in production at Nokia, no?20:56
DocScrutinizerunlike N90020:57
*** faenil has quit IRC20:57
teleshoessuch bullshit how they wont even fix an n900 anymore20:57
teleshoesif you send it in, they basically confiscate it20:57
DocScrutinizerwhere they rather give you a C7 or similar crap, maybe an N8, rather than fixing your N900 on warranty20:57
teleshoesat least what they give you has value on the market20:57
teleshoesbut its a hassle to sell it and then buy another n90020:58
DocScrutinizerno manufacturer may *confiscate* MY device20:58
DocScrutinizerthey damn better at very least return the unfixed device to me20:59
DocScrutinizeror they send a dude to Hongkong to get me a new one21:00
DocScrutinizerI'd definitely not accept any such scam like giving me crappy "replacement" N8 or whatever21:01
teleshoeswell, you can just buy one on ebay21:02
*** decibyte has quit IRC21:02
teleshoesselling an n8 at profit21:02
DocScrutinizerdoen't matter, and btw no new ones on fleabay21:02
teleshoesoh noes21:02
teleshoesdidnt know that day had come21:02
DocScrutinizerexcept that Hongkong source21:03
DocScrutinizerthat'S why I said they may send a dude over there, to get me new one21:03
DocScrutinizerwhat a gashead ever came up with the idea for policy to get rid of spare parts before even the 2 years warranty period from 1st time to marjket expired, that dude deserves some proper treatment21:06
DocScrutinizerand since THAT incident Nokia basically is a no-go for me21:07
DocScrutinizerI mean I probably still get spare parts for my 12 year old 6210, originally from Nokia21:08
DocScrutinizerand even a written and by-law warranty not being worth the paper it's written on, well that makes me just sad21:09
teleshoesyea21:09
DocScrutinizer"OK you paid for it, now please forget the address and even name of Nokia"21:10
DocScrutinizerbasically you can buy things from such rogue manufacturer only with a 10 year leasing contract21:11
DocScrutinizerand even then... :-S21:11
DocScrutinizerI mean my investment into sw to run on that and *only* on that device/platform could easily be multiple of the original device value21:12
DocScrutinizernot to mention my investment into spare time I spend to tweak the thing to match my needs21:13
DocScrutinizerI must be god's favourite idiot to develop for such platform and plan to *sell* my stuff21:14
DocScrutinizerodds are the platform is obsolete before my development ready for rollout21:14

itsnotabigtruckanyone know of any good libraries for *nix that provide things like file opening, porcess spawning, etc.23:30
faenilfork? :D23:31
javispedrolibc? =)23:32
itsnotabigtruckx_x23:32
itsnotabigtruckthe c library functions have less than ideal interfaces and result in a massive heap of boilerplate code23:33
javispedrowell, there's glib on the device, but some say it actually adds more boilerplate23:33
itsnotabigtruckalso it doesn't matter for this, but the standard c functions are entirely insufficient for anything serious, and posix functions are unportable23:33
itsnotabigtruckright, something like glib, but glib appears to be actually rather lacking in the file i/o department23:34
*** oberling_ is now known as oberling23:34
javispedrobecause there's gio for that23:34
javispedroalbeit gio is hardly lightweight23:34
DocScrutinizeromg23:35
javispedrohello DocScrutinizer23:35
DocScrutinizerhi :-D23:36
DocScrutinizerI could hardly think of any lib facilitating fopen()23:37
itsnotabigtruckyeah, gio looks pretty heavy and undesirable for simple console apps23:37
javispedrowell I can concur that ansi c is lacking in some aspects, such as e.g. spawning a process and reading its standard output23:39
DocScrutinizerwell, yes. If you don't want some simple stuff like system(9 then yep, you need some extra lines23:41
DocScrutinizersystem() even23:41
itsnotabigtruckwell, for example, reading a file23:42
javispedrothere's certainly a helper for that in glib (that="reading entire file into mem")23:42
itsnotabigtrucki don't want to have to open() the file, spin on eintr, fstat() it, read() it, spinning on eintr and incomplete reads, ...23:43
itsnotabigtruckyeah, glib does handle that particular case23:43
itsnotabigtruckbut it doesn't handle the other cases23:43
javispedro(also QtCore ;P)23:43
itsnotabigtruckfor example in inpkgsign i need to open a file for writing without truncation, and incrementally write stuff to it23:44
itsnotabigtruckand be able to easily detect when things go wrong without a stupid amount of code23:44
javispedro(on glibc you can avoid EINTR altogether with some signal.h trickery; dunno about win32)23:45
itsnotabigtruckwell, windows doesn't have anything like eintr so it's not a problem23:46
