tigertgreetings from the helsinki public transport ;)10:40
ferenctigert: 3G or public WLAN?10:41
tigert3G this time10:42
tigertbuses dont have wlan yet10:42
ferenci noticed that around the railwaystation in Helsinki city you have free wifi.10:43
ferenccould not test it for long though10:43

bergieI wonder if this feature will end up being used... now the new Maemo application catalog is able to pull documentation pages about an app from Maemo Wiki and link them based on tags10:58
bergieso if the "unix name" of Maemo Mapper is "maemo-mapper", and you tag a wiki page with that name, it is automatically listed in app catalog10:58
ferencwe got to replicate the stuff to test.mameo.org today11:00

inzNo-oooo, don't lose the "sub folder", the foo. is so cool ;)11:02
ferenc:)11:03
dwdIs there an embedded HTML viewer on Maemo? I need to display HTML email properly, so it'd be useful to be able to intercept image requests (and other sub-requests caused by page rendering)11:21
partIMHO there is no way to display html email properly11:22
dwdpart: As a statement of principle, I agree, but in my more pragmatic moments, I still think I ought to try. :-)11:22
*** booiiing has joined #maemo11:26
dwdI'm writing in Python, so so far, the best I can do is use the htmllib.HTMLParser, and write the *slightly* prettier results into a gtk.TextView. gtkhtml2 would be better. I don't want things like JavaScript for obvious reasons.11:27
partevery email client should be exploitable with javascript11:28
dwdpart: I'm not trying to make it compatible with Outlook, though.11:29
inzdwd, gtkhtml3 is here, but dunno of python bindings11:31
inzii  gtkhtml0       3.9.1-1osso9   GtkHTML shared library without Gnome depende11:32
dwdinz: Doesn't seem to be any Python bindings.11:33
inz=(11:36
tigerthtml mail is nice to have when you need it, but javascript, yeah, I agree. that doesnt belong there. can of worms.11:36
dwdtigert: Just too difficult to police, IMHO. But yes, inlined images and more natural hyperlinks are useful for a certain class of message.11:37
tigertyeah11:38
tigertits like yeah, mailing lists and usenet works, but wiki's are also nice to have11:38
tigertman, I havent used usenet for years though11:38
dwdtigert: Never got into it. I was a telnet BBS geek for years, though. :-)11:39
* dwd notes that virtually nobody has even heard of those now.11:39

inzDial-in BBS were way cooler11:45
dwdinz: Never were many in the UK, and the atmosphere was very different, too - we always paid for local calls by the "unit", then, so nobody hung around on them.11:46
*** luogni has quit IRC11:46
*** sKaBoy has joined #maemo11:46
dwdinz: Telnet BBSs got quite big in the UK when our academic network switched from X.* to TCP/IP.11:47
dwd(Strangely, in my day job, I actually work on the X.* software that ran parts of the old academic network. It now does TCP/IP as well, of course)11:48
inzThe first modem we had was a 2400 baud Nokia. We (me and my brother) got our parents quite pissed with the phone bill. =)11:49
dwdinz: My brother had a 2400 baud, then a 9600 baud. My parents got a 14k4, and he got really jealous. But that was nothing compared to when my parents splashed out a a 40M hard disk.11:51
inzOur computer had a 60M!11:53
inzEverybody else had "just" 40M. =)11:53
dwdFeh. You'll *never* fill that!11:53
* suihkulokki remembers someone whining on how useless 2400 baud modems are11:54
suihkulokki"comeon, it rolls text faster than you can read!"11:54
inz=)11:54
dwdsuihkulokki: Ah, they were cool - first modems I couldn't out-type.11:55
dwdUnless remote echo was on, of course. (Telnet BBSes used to run at a typical latency of around 30 seconds, sometimes more.)11:55

spaetzflorian, are you the GPE guy? Did I read that right that gpe can sync to/from ical calendars?14:21
spaetzThat would be perfect for me.14:22
florian_kcspaetz: well... yes, i'm one of the gpe guys :)14:22
spaetz:-)14:22
florian_kcspaetz: its one of new features neal implemented lately, but i must admit that i don't know with which servers it works properly and what the open issues are.14:24
koenit uses libsoup14:24
koenso anything libsoup can talk to should work14:24
florian_kci hope so :-)14:25
spaetzthanks for the info. I'll try it with icalx.xom14:28
florian_kcspaetz: please let me know if it works14:29

spaetzflorian_kc: should the latest deb in the kernelconcepts already work with libsoup?15:10
spaetzAlso, http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006 still points to handhelds.org :-)15:10
florian_kcspaetz: yes15:11
florian_kcspaetz: oh, i need to fix this :-) thanks!15:12
_follower_not to start a religious fight here or anything, :-) but has anyone had success creating a microemacs or similar install for Maemeo?15:17
spaetz_follower_: not to start a religious fight here or anything: but do you think a 770 without META chars would be likely to use emacs on?15:20
spaetz:-P15:20
spaetzmake tht META keys...15:20
_follower_i was waiting for that :-)15:20
_follower_i'm wanting it for when i'm ssh'd in...15:20
_follower_and i assure you a os x laptop does have the required keys... :-P15:21
spaetz_follower_: I know I use emacs on my OS X box all the time :-)15:23
spaetzflorian_kc: at least subsribing to calendars on icalx went fine. Thanks for your moral support15:24
spaetzDo I see it correct that I can either subsribe OR publish a calendar but not sync in both directions?15:24
*** ab has quit IRC15:28
florian_kcspaetz: nice - iirc it should work in both directions15:28
florian_kcbrb, need breakfast15:28
_follower_spaetz: if os x had a fuse/sshfs implementation i wouldn't be so concerned... :-/15:29
spaetz_follower_: yep, that would be nice. The integrated vi sucks badly. Always corrputs the screen...15:31
_follower_yeah, i'd noticed that.15:32
_follower_i was contemplating writing a quick and dirty script to monitor a file/directory and copy it accross--guess i could use rsync for that...15:32
spaetzflorian_kc: I do get an error dialog saying: no such table: todo_urn. I don't know if that is an Apple ical thing.15:34
_follower_so, i'm using pygtk stuff and have:15:35
_follower_self.window = hildon.Window()15:35
_follower_....15:35
_follower_self.window.connect("button-press-event", self.onButtonPress)15:35
_follower_in an attempt to get stylus or thumb presses15:35
_follower_but i don't get any events occurring--should i be putting something in the window first?15:36
_follower_(hardware key presses work fine when hooking ""key-press-event")15:36
*** obergix[work] has quit IRC15:37
spaetzwell, subscribing to the icalx calendar works fine, publishing not. Good enough for now.15:42
*** mlpug has joined #maemo15:45
*** booiiing has quit IRC15:48
*** booiiing has joined #maemo15:49
vidarino_follower_: i'm not sure window objects can take button events just like that. you may have to put an eventbox in it.15:53
vidarinoi remember mucking around with that some time ago.15:54
_follower_vidarino: ok, thanks, i'll look into it...15:54
*** Ryback_ has joined #maemo15:57
_follower_vidarino: cool, thanks for that. an eventbox seems to do the trick and gives me stylus and thumb events...16:02
vidarinocool. :)16:02
vidarinono prob.16:02
dwd_follower_: ANy chance you could make a note of what sort of things you find with this, and let the world know (your blog would be a reasonable place)?16:08
* _follower_ looks guilty16:08
_follower_I suppose I *should*... :-)16:08
_follower_i'm working on a custom UI control type thing so i should be able to document it in that16:09
dwd_follower_: It would be rather nice. I'm sure I could use such information in my pygtk stuff, too.16:09
_follower_i'll see what i can do...16:09
dwd_follower_: Ta.16:09
*** saerdnaer has joined #maemo16:16
vidarinoi'm pretty sure it's documented somewhere, but it's not exactly obivous.16:20
vidarinoi wish gtk spat out a warning when one tried to connect to unsuitable signals, though.16:20
_follower_yeah, that'd be helpful.16:21

inzspaetz, yes =)17:54
_follower__ianal and all that, but, as a matter of interest, is there actually someone within Nokia that understands why "the community" has an issue with the source-less firware release?17:56
inzspaetz, with mh-version of libvte you can write stuff that supports backspace17:57
mgedminkonttori: I've built fbreader-maemo2 0.7.4n+mg2-1 that should fix finger tap scrolling on the new OS200617:59
mgedminI haven't upgraded yet, so I'd be happy if somebody tested it and reported whether the fix works17:59
mgedmin(upgraded to OS2006.2, that is)18:00
spaetzinz: now that is good to know. I wonder if there shouldn't be more tips and tricks in the wiki like this one...18:03
inzspaetz, well, using the mh version of osso-xterm automatically installs the mh version of vte.18:04

Jaffayep18:26
Jaffa(well, some bits)18:26
shaprstrange.18:26
* Jaffa tries to not cause another flamewar.18:26
shaprI keep trying to stay out of this, but I have a strong urge to start freemo or whatever.18:26
shaprYeah, I don't want a flamewar either, I just want results :-)18:27
_follower__i think that's true for most people here18:27
koendistributing linux kernels without source is illegal18:27
JaffaIndeed. If nothing else it could be a jolt to Nokia that drip-fed releases for which we should be grateful, but then moan about lack of community involement isn't a viable situation.18:27
koenexcept in finland apparently18:27
_follower__i just hope nokia(ns) is smart enough to actually listen18:28
_follower__and recognise we're trying to help them out... by "doing the right thing" (a.k.a. obeying the law... :-) )18:28

dwdA rather key point here is that if nobody does kick up a fuss over these things, then potentially it could weaken the GPL's standing in law, effectively moving toward the "GPL is public domain" argument that SCO proposed.19:00

tkoso, did someone actually take the GPL offer and use it, or are you just theoretically interested in the sources?19:44
tkothere's a significant difference between the device (software) and the sdk19:45
partyes, the difference is big19:45
parttko: I hope someone did use the offer19:46
_follower__tko: i think there's two parts to it: 1) it's a legal obligation 2) it's useful.19:46
tko_follower__, there's no legal obligation for the sdk19:46
parthaving the kernel source or the wireless driver available would be The Right Thing19:46
_follower__tko: i don't know enough about the sdk to know, but undoubtly there is for the firmware...19:46
tkoall you need to do is ask... (i.e. take up on the offer) -- or wait for the maemo sdk release19:47
_follower__i belive we've been explictly told that the source is not available.19:47
tkoI haven't checked but my feeling is that no one has taken the gpl offer19:47

partasking on a mailinglist isn't the same as using the gpl offer19:51
tkoit's comparable to going to the janitor of a bank to make a withdrawal19:51
partread the license text on the product19:51
parttko: btw, sdk has to provide sources for the parts that are not included anywhere else19:52
*** pleemans has quit IRC19:53
tkopart, sdk has to provide sources for everything (gpl) the sdk distributes, of course.. similar gpl offer still applies, though with different scope naturally19:54
*** saerdnaer has quit IRC19:55
tkobtw, one clear indication about no one taking the gpl offer would be lack of comments about the email source code :)19:56
parttko: afaik sdk distributes sources for it's own gpl'd stuff in the repos already, what's in the product is in the product and some of that source is available with the sdk as well, but that's just coincidental19:56
*** obergix[work] has quit IRC19:56
tkopart, exactly19:57
tkothough having stuff in the repo does not excuse you from not shipping sources when someone comes to ask19:58
*** _follower_ has joined #maemo19:58
Jaffatko: so far, I don't think anyone's wanted to officially invoke the GPL offer so that the "goodwill" which Nokia seems so far of isn't damaged.19:58
JaffaOfficially invoking it when the legal team isn't happy could result in nastiness to the legal team's view of open source and GPL within Nokia. Which could damage Maemo.19:59
spaetztko: it should not be necessary to write to the nokia lawers to get the source. Going to the bank analogy it would be like:20:00
nomiswould invoking the GPL offer really mean writing to lawyers?20:00
spaetzyou would need to have to go to the bank director just to withdraw money from your acount when there's an ATM outside20:00
tkospaetz, there's an address where to send the gpl offer request, and it is *not* maemo-developers20:00
partspaetz: do read the license20:01
nomisJust ask for the stuff and implicitely let the legal team know that there is a good reason to hurry up.20:01

*** Guard][an has joined #maemo20:05
tkothe only legal obligation to my knowledge is the gpl offer. the sdk is essentially a separate "product" and therefore different requirements. last time I heard there was some essential documentation missing20:06

tigertshapr: voip over 3G works just fine21:36
shaprI figure wifi-torrent is where I setup a website where wifi access point owners can join by putting in the encryption key for their AP. Once their AP and key is verified, they can then access the APs of all other members.21:37
shaprSo I'd be able to wander to the next city and use the AP of another member.21:37

tigertmobile operators you mean22:13
tigertbut yeah22:13
tigertand many of them are that, but they don't realize the price needs to be more reasonable22:14
tigertonce flatrate 3G and EDGE is widely available, the mobile networking won't really catch22:14
tigertI use mobile internet very much22:14

tigertdwd: yea, but mobile emails is not what I mean22:15

tigertjabber, surfing, weather, net radio etc22:16
dwdtigert: Full on web-browsing is certainly expensive.22:16
dwdtigert: Jabber's cheap. Much cheaper than SMS, and if you have compression on the go, it's even cheaper.22:16

tigertI rather want last.fm  than some top10 pop chart22:17
dwdtigert: Yeah, my brother's involved with audio streaming over mobiles. I have no idea if anyone actually listens, though.22:17

dwdtigert: For web browsing and high-bandwidth stuff, yes. I've ceased to care about email and jabber, though.22:18

_follower__just to prove i don't just sit on my arse and contribute to GPL chat-fests, :-) if you're into Python you might want to take a look at a scroll wheel widget proof of concept I've been working on: <http://code.rancidbacon.com/maemo/770_wheel.py> You'll need to run it from the CLI...23:07
tkoneeds screenshots :)23:09
_follower__image a black circle with a smaller blackcircle inside it :-)23:09
tkoah, ipod wheel.. I was thinking mouse wheel23:10
_follower__ok, so apparently I *did* need a screenshot :-)23:10
Taknow if only it was in C... :-P23:11
*** _follower_ has quit IRC23:11
_follower__Tak: Feel free to port it :-)23:12
_follower__where does the screenshot app dump its images?23:12
_follower__nm23:12
TakI always use the CLI one that dumps them where you specify23:12
_follower__for the record: ~/MyDocs/.images23:13
Takmakes sense23:13
* Tak sends himself a link and a copy of the code for future boredom porting sessions :-P23:14

*** pleemans has quit IRC23:15
_follower__Tak: I wouldn't advise reading the code...23:16
shaprI want an analog clock widget where I can drag the hands around.23:16
Takeh, python is painful no matter what23:16
_follower__isn't there already a demo for that? actually, no, i think i was thinking of a svg demo23:16
shaprYeah, I prefer Haskell.23:16
tko_follower__, you might to chat with MDK -- he has something similar, in C I think23:17
_follower__Tak: i don't find it so...23:17
TakI know - just my opinion23:17
tkoshapr, heh, I've been trying to understand haskell for a few days now23:17
shaprtko: Really? Got any questions?23:17
_follower__tko: wouldn't suprise me, i did do a search a while back but didn't find anything23:17
tkoshapr, other than wtf, not yet really :)23:18
_follower__aCiDBaSe: why are there no public trackers as pymaemo?23:18
shaprHeh, want to see the Haskell intro I wrote for ADHD readers?23:18
* shapr is an ADHD reader btw23:18
tkoI kind of get it, but it's far from being as obvious as python, for example23:18
tkoshapr, sounds interesting23:19
shaprI thought that when I started, since I moved from Python to Haskell for my primary language.23:19
tkocan't recall seeing in the haskell wiki23:19
shaprYou're probably looking at the new wiki. Much of the content in the old wiki is not portable to the new wiki because of licensing problems.23:20
shaprAlso, you may want to try #haskell for questions. #haskell is a seriously cool place to hang out23:20
_follower__MDK: do you have an ipod-esque scrollwheel implementation in C?23:20
shaprBut realize I'm biased because I started #haskell more than five years ago...23:20
tko:)23:21
_follower__shapr: surely you'd still manage to be impartial and unbiased?23:21
shaprI try...23:21
shaprI gave up being maintainer of #haskell recently because my real life has meant I can't pay as much attention to the community anymore.23:22
shaprBut my job is to doing fulltime Haskell contracting from home, so...23:23
shaprtko: Oh, the ADHD intro - http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/HaskellDemo23:23
shaprPart of the reason #haskell is cool is that you get to talk to well known academic researchers in the areas of functional programming, information theory, database theory, etc, etc23:24
shaprI still haven't gotten around to building GHC for Maemo though... I lost the power adapter from big Nokia phone power plug to small power plug :-(23:25
shaprtko: Anyway, if you have any questions about Haskell the language or community, I'd be happy to help.23:26
