| bergie | so 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 catalog | 10:58 |
| ferenc | we got to replicate the stuff to test.mameo.org today | 11:00 |

| inz | No-oooo, don't lose the "sub folder", the foo. is so cool ;) | 11:02 |
| ferenc | :) | 11:03 |
| dwd | Is 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 |
| part | IMHO there is no way to display html email properly | 11:22 |
| dwd | part: 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 #maemo | 11:26 | |
| dwd | I'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 |
| part | every email client should be exploitable with javascript | 11:28 |
| dwd | part: I'm not trying to make it compatible with Outlook, though. | 11:29 |
| inz | dwd, gtkhtml3 is here, but dunno of python bindings | 11:31 |
| inz | ii gtkhtml0 3.9.1-1osso9 GtkHTML shared library without Gnome depende | 11:32 |
| dwd | inz: Doesn't seem to be any Python bindings. | 11:33 |
| inz | =( | 11:36 |
| tigert | html mail is nice to have when you need it, but javascript, yeah, I agree. that doesnt belong there. can of worms. | 11:36 |
| dwd | tigert: Just too difficult to police, IMHO. But yes, inlined images and more natural hyperlinks are useful for a certain class of message. | 11:37 |
| tigert | yeah | 11:38 |
| tigert | its like yeah, mailing lists and usenet works, but wiki's are also nice to have | 11:38 |
| tigert | man, I havent used usenet for years though | 11:38 |
| dwd | tigert: 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 | |
| tigert | yea | 11:39 |

| inz | Dial-in BBS were way cooler | 11:45 |
| dwd | inz: 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 IRC | 11:46 | |
| *** sKaBoy has joined #maemo | 11:46 | |
| dwd | inz: 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 |
| inz | The 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 |
| dwd | inz: 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 |
| inz | Our computer had a 60M! | 11:53 |
| inz | Everybody else had "just" 40M. =) | 11:53 |
| dwd | Feh. You'll *never* fill that! | 11:53 |
| * suihkulokki remembers someone whining on how useless 2400 baud modems are | 11:54 | |
| suihkulokki | "comeon, it rolls text faster than you can read!" | 11:54 |
| inz | =) | 11:54 |
| dwd | suihkulokki: Ah, they were cool - first modems I couldn't out-type. | 11:55 |
| dwd | Unless remote echo was on, of course. (Telnet BBSes used to run at a typical latency of around 30 seconds, sometimes more.) | 11:55 |

| florian_kc | spaetz: well... yes, i'm one of the gpe guys :) | 14:22 |
| spaetz | :-) | 14:22 |
| florian_kc | spaetz: 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 |
| koen | it uses libsoup | 14:24 |
| koen | so anything libsoup can talk to should work | 14:24 |
| florian_kc | i hope so :-) | 14:25 |
| spaetz | thanks for the info. I'll try it with icalx.xom | 14:28 |

| spaetz | Also, http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalog2006 still points to handhelds.org :-) | 15:10 |
| florian_kc | spaetz: yes | 15:11 |
| florian_kc | spaetz: 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 | :-P | 15:20 |
| spaetz | make 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... :-P | 15:21 |
| spaetz | _follower_: I know I use emacs on my OS X box all the time :-) | 15:23 |
| spaetz | florian_kc: at least subsribing to calendars on icalx went fine. Thanks for your moral support | 15:24 |
| spaetz | Do I see it correct that I can either subsribe OR publish a calendar but not sync in both directions? | 15:24 |
| *** ab has quit IRC | 15:28 | |
| florian_kc | spaetz: nice - iirc it should work in both directions | 15:28 |
| florian_kc | brb, need breakfast | 15:28 |
| _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 |
| spaetz | florian_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 presses | 15:35 |
| _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 IRC | 15:37 | |

| vidarino | i remember mucking around with that some time ago. | 15:54 |
| _follower_ | vidarino: ok, thanks, i'll look into it... | 15:54 |
| *** Ryback_ has joined #maemo | 15:57 | |
| _follower_ | vidarino: cool, thanks for that. an eventbox seems to do the trick and gives me stylus and thumb events... | 16:02 |
| vidarino | cool. :) | 16:02 |
| vidarino | no 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 guilty | 16:08 | |
| _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 that | 16:09 |
| 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 #maemo | 16:16 | |

| _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 |
| inz | spaetz, with mh-version of libvte you can write stuff that supports backspace | 17:57 |
| mgedmin | konttori: I've built fbreader-maemo2 0.7.4n+mg2-1 that should fix finger tap scrolling on the new OS2006 | 17:59 |
| mgedmin | I haven't upgraded yet, so I'd be happy if somebody tested it and reported whether the fix works | 17:59 |
| mgedmin | (upgraded to OS2006.2, that is) | 18:00 |
| spaetz | inz: 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 |

| Jaffa | koen: I bet Motorola do. | 18:32 |
| _follower__ | i'm just amazed that their lawyers seem to be ignorant of the implications... | 18:33 |
| _follower__ | it's not like this scenario hasn't happened before with other companies... | 18:33 |
| JussiP | As long as nobody sues, they don't really care. | 18:33 |
| Tak | I'm surprised FSF Europe hasn't said anything... | 18:34 |
| _follower__ | "they" being the lawyers or Nokia? | 18:34 |
| JussiP | Yup. | 18:34 |
| JussiP | Lawyers of Nokia, I mean. | 18:35 |
| _follower__ | you really think Nokia's lawyers are that stupid? | 18:35 |
| _follower__ | *cough* ill-informed. | 18:35 |
| koen | _follower__: there's no source, so they *are* that stupid | 18:36 |
| JussiP | They also have priority queues. | 18:36 |
| koen | it's easy as hell: "don't distribute binaries before the sources have been cleared" | 18:36 |
| _follower__ | koen: i guess so... | 18:36 |
| JussiP | Has someone done a written request to get the sources? | 18:37 |
| koen | does email count as written? | 18:37 |
| JussiP | No. | 18:37 |
| dwd | Sorry, I missed this - are you saying that there's some breach of the GPL in the 770 kernel? | 18:38 |
| koen | dwd: nokia hasn't released the sources for their new firmware | 18:38 |
| dwd | koen: Oh. I'd best let my kernel developer friends know, then. | 18:39 |
| _follower__ | oh, dear, it's never good when someone one is trying to help uses the word "whine"... :-( (see: mailing list) I guess "they" don't get it then... | 18:40 |
| * Jaffa has no doubt they will, of course. | 18:40 | |
| _follower__ | Jaffa: they will what? | 18:40 |
| Jaffa | _follower__: indeed, I try not to take @nokians flaming me personally ;-) | 18:40 |
| Jaffa | _follower__: sorry, a general "no doubt they will [release the sources (eventually)]" | 18:41 |
| _follower__ | yeah, I assume they'll release them too--but we also know that "eventually" will eventually get them in trouble. | 18:42 |
| koen | but before 'eventually' they are not allowed to distribute binaries | 18:42 |

| dwd | Oh, no, it's http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006032.html | 18:49 |
| Jaffa | dwd: this too - http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-users/2006-November/002287.html | 18:52 |
| Jaffa | mgedmin: good not flamey email :) | 18:53 |
| mgedmin | thanks | 18:53 |
| * dwd lets a kernel developer know, just in case it matters to him. | 18:58 | |
| dwd | A 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 |
| Tak | that's ridiculous | 19:01 |
| dwd | What is? | 19:01 |
| Tak | by that argument (gpl is public domain), copyright is completely invalid and *everything* is public domain | 19:01 |
| koen | nokia legal department | 19:01 |
| *** sab_afk is now known as sab_ | 19:02 | |
| dwd | Tak: Oh, I agree with you, but it's still an argument that some GPL violators raise, and if GPL violations go ignored, then we do genuinely run the risk that some judge somewhere might sympathize. | 19:02 |
| *** _follower_ has joined #maemo | 19:02 | |

| tko | so, did someone actually take the GPL offer and use it, or are you just theoretically interested in the sources? | 19:44 |
| tko | there's a significant difference between the device (software) and the sdk | 19:45 |
| part | yes, the difference is big | 19:45 |
| part | tko: I hope someone did use the offer | 19:46 |
| _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 sdk | 19:46 |
| part | having the kernel source or the wireless driver available would be The Right Thing | 19:46 |
| _follower__ | tko: i don't know enough about the sdk to know, but undoubtly there is for the firmware... | 19:46 |
| tko | all you need to do is ask... (i.e. take up on the offer) -- or wait for the maemo sdk release | 19:47 |
| _follower__ | i belive we've been explictly told that the source is not available. | 19:47 |
| tko | I haven't checked but my feeling is that no one has taken the gpl offer | 19:47 |
| koen | but people have asked (see mailinglist thread) | 19:47 |
| tko | koen, there's a difference between mails on a mailing list and invoking the gpl offer | 19:49 |
| koen | "all you need to do is ask.' | 19:49 |
| *** _follower_ has quit IRC | 19:49 | |
| *** Guardian has joined #maemo | 19:49 | |
| koen | that's what you said | 19:49 |
| tko | for one I very much doubt our lawyers are following the list | 19:49 |
| tko | do you stop reading on the first period or something? | 19:50 |
| part | asking on a mailinglist isn't the same as using the gpl offer | 19:51 |
| tko | it's comparable to going to the janitor of a bank to make a withdrawal | 19:51 |
| part | read the license text on the product | 19:51 |
| part | tko: btw, sdk has to provide sources for the parts that are not included anywhere else | 19:52 |
| *** pleemans has quit IRC | 19:53 | |
| tko | part, sdk has to provide sources for everything (gpl) the sdk distributes, of course.. similar gpl offer still applies, though with different scope naturally | 19:54 |
| *** saerdnaer has quit IRC | 19:55 | |
| tko | btw, one clear indication about no one taking the gpl offer would be lack of comments about the email source code :) | 19:56 |
| part | tko: 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 coincidental | 19:56 |
| *** obergix[work] has quit IRC | 19:56 | |
| tko | part, exactly | 19:57 |
| tko | though having stuff in the repo does not excuse you from not shipping sources when someone comes to ask | 19:58 |
| *** _follower_ has joined #maemo | 19:58 | |
| Jaffa | tko: 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 |
| Jaffa | Officially 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 |
| spaetz | tko: 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 |
| nomis | would invoking the GPL offer really mean writing to lawyers? | 20:00 |
| spaetz | you would need to have to go to the bank director just to withdraw money from your acount when there's an ATM outside | 20:00 |
| tko | spaetz, there's an address where to send the gpl offer request, and it is *not* maemo-developers | 20:00 |
| part | spaetz: do read the license | 20:01 |
| nomis | Just ask for the stuff and implicitely let the legal team know that there is a good reason to hurry up. | 20:01 |
| part | I'm sure they are working on it | 20:02 |
| nomis | and I bet that they read the GPL a thousand times over before even announcing anything, so they knew what they were about to enter. | 20:02 |
| *** Guard][an has joined #maemo | 20:05 | |
| tko | the 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 missing | 20:06 |
| part | some of the documentation in maemo 2.0 is outdated, but that's not a license issue | 20:13 |

| tko | heh, I find it weird that in tableteer the second question on the top10 list is 'How do I set up my email account?' ... | 20:44 |
| tko | but then again, that's a step you need to take before experiencing the email client... :) | 20:44 |

| *** rambokid is now known as rktour1 | 21:29 | |
| tko | well, you can never make webmail as fast/efficient/integrated/convenient as native client | 21:31 |
| tko | though I'm not saying our email client would be any of those | 21:31 |
| _follower___ | there's a challenge if i ever heard one... :-) | 21:31 |
| tko | I'd like to see you implement offline mode... | 21:33 |
| shapr | Yeah, that's why I like the built-in client. | 21:33 |
| _follower___ | it really depends on the browser then... | 21:33 |
| shapr | I can write my replies and leave them in the outbox until I run across another open wifi point. | 21:34 |
| shapr | I was using Cingular's unlimited GPRS plan, but I was getting about 300 baud and that's not worth $20 USD a month. | 21:34 |
| tigert | tko: gmail is very close | 21:35 |
| shapr | I was hoping the soon-to-be-released UMTS would let me do VoIP from my phone, but that's out too. The providers won't allow it. | 21:35 |
| shapr | So I have a new idea... wifi-torrent :-) | 21:36 |
| tigert | tko: but then again, I totally loathe email | 21:36 |
| *** snorkelyd has joined #maemo | 21:36 | |
| tigert | what gmail has is this idea of combining jabber discussions and emails etc into one discussion thread | 21:36 |
| tigert | that rokcs | 21:36 |
| tigert | rocks even | 21:36 |
| tigert | shapr: voip over 3G works just fine | 21:36 |
| shapr | I 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 |
| shapr | So I'd be able to wander to the next city and use the AP of another member. | 21:37 |
| shapr | If that ever got enough coverage, I could get rid of my phone entirely and use my 770 instead. | 21:38 |
| spaetz | shapr: sounds like fon, just non-commercial | 21:42 |
| spaetz | (fon.com) | 21:42 |
| shapr | tigert: From what I've heard of the soon-to-be-available UMTS in the USA, it'll ports blocked etc. so that VoIP won't be available. | 21:42 |
| shapr | I hadn't heard of fon.com before. | 21:43 |
| *** pleemans has joined #maemo | 21:43 | |
| spaetz | it's a European thing | 21:43 |
| *** sKaBoy has joined #maemo | 21:43 | |
| shapr | It makes sense. | 21:43 |
| spaetz | They rip off most of the profits though (which non-members pay for access) | 21:44 |
| shapr | I am unsurprised. | 21:45 |
| tigert | shapr: yea, I guess phone companies are scared of losing voice calls :P | 21:46 |
| spaetz | tigert: they are right to fear :-) | 21:46 |
| _follower___ | but their rates are so *reasonable*... | 21:47 |
| * spaetz *coughs* | 21:47 | |
| tigert | well, if they block it, someone else will offer the same service people demand | 21:51 |
| _follower___ | i believe that's the theory... :-) | 21:53 |
| *** netmask has quit IRC | 21:53 | |
| spaetz | tigert: that would work i markets were perfect. | 21:54 |
| spaetz | but if the someone elses are all buddies, this becomes a bit unrealistic | 21:55 |
| *** brendan has left #maemo | 21:57 | |

| dwd | For the panel to chew on, one kernel developer has now asked Nokia about the kernel source. | 22:10 |
| _follower___ | dwd: did you see the link on the list? | 22:11 |
| dwd | Oh, and they've now released it, half an hour after said developer asked. Probably coincidental. | 22:11 |
| dwd | _follower___: Just got to that point in my stupidly oversized mailbox. :-) | 22:12 |
| shapr | tigert: imho, 'mobile phone' companies are just mobile ISPs. | 22:13 |
| tigert | mobile operators you mean | 22:13 |
| tigert | but yeah | 22:13 |
| tigert | and many of them are that, but they don't realize the price needs to be more reasonable | 22:14 |
| tigert | once flatrate 3G and EDGE is widely available, the mobile networking won't really catch | 22:14 |
| tigert | I use mobile internet very much | 22:14 |
| dwd | tigert: And not having really short NAT timeouts which penalize non-HTTP connections would also help a tad. | 22:14 |
| tigert | but I would never do that if I had to pay for it myself | 22:14 |
| tigert | since the major telco's here charge you per megabyte | 22:15 |
| tigert | its just totally stupid | 22:15 |
| tigert | dwd: yea | 22:15 |
| tigert | dwd: well, having Screen and irssi on a pretty active channels helps :) | 22:15 |
| dwd | tigert: Same here. But you can get 10M cheaply, and that's easily enough for me to have decent mobile email. | 22:15 |
| tigert | dwd: yea, but mobile emails is not what I mean | 22:15 |
| shapr | Yeah, I thought the unlimited data for $20 a month would be great... until I used the painfully flaky connection at 300 baud | 22:15 |
| tigert | jabber, surfing, weather, net radio etc | 22:16 |
| dwd | tigert: Full on web-browsing is certainly expensive. | 22:16 |
| dwd | tigert: Jabber's cheap. Much cheaper than SMS, and if you have compression on the go, it's even cheaper. | 22:16 |
| tigert | dwd: what about 128kbit mp3 streaming then? :) | 22:16 |
| tigert | I rather want last.fm than some top10 pop chart | 22:17 |
| dwd | tigert: Yeah, my brother's involved with audio streaming over mobiles. I have no idea if anyone actually listens, though. | 22:17 |
| shapr | I really really really want a mobile operator interface widget that has bluetooth and 3G *only* then I can use my Nokia 770 without having to deal with the irritations of closed and flaky phones. | 22:17 |
| tigert | but it needs to be cheaper | 22:17 |
| tigert | and the money needs to come from the services | 22:17 |
| tigert | not from the bandwidth | 22:17 |
| shapr | I wouldn't mind paying for my bandwidth if it were cheap. | 22:17 |
| tigert | yea. if it was fixed cost per month you know | 22:17 |
| shapr | But I expect to use several GB a month. | 22:17 |
| tigert | but this "ugh, this will cost me.." -feeling is what cuts down the usage | 22:18 |
| shapr | yeah, I didn't have that feeling until my first US Bill from Cingular >:-( | 22:18 |
| dwd | tigert: For web browsing and high-bandwidth stuff, yes. I've ceased to care about email and jabber, though. | 22:18 |
| shapr | They charge my half a dollar per minute that I go over my allowed voice minutes. | 22:18 |
| shapr | Why the heck am I buying a separate voice service? It's all data! | 22:19 |
| tigert | dwd: yeah | 22:19 |
| shapr | Anyone know if a UMTS phone from Europe will function on the future US UMTS networks? | 22:20 |
| dwd | shapr: Might do, the differences would be frequency, I think. Most EU phones are tri-band, though. | 22:21 |
| tigert | like, sonera has this 100MB/month, 15,90 EUR | 22:24 |
| tigert | 100M goes very quick if you surf even a bit | 22:24 |
| tigert | thanks to banner ads etc | 22:24 |
| Tak | I forget, does opera have some sort of ad-blocking goodness? | 22:27 |
| suihkulokki | why would anyone use sonera :) | 22:27 |
| shapr | There's a privoxy deb | 22:27 |
| *** benzea_ has quit IRC | 22:29 | |
| _follower___ | hey, here's a handy tip: in gtk if you set the foreground colour to white somewhere, changed text in labels tends not to be visible... :-/ | 22:31 |
| Tak | heh | 22:31 |
| shapr | The GPS in the OpenMoko phone will be nice to integrate with the Nokia 770. | 22:39 |
| *** sKaBoy has quit IRC | 22:41 | |
| * shapr considers buying a GNU USRP and just writing the whole stack himself. | 22:42 | |
| *** benzea has joined #maemo | 22:42 | |
| koen | the USRP is sweet | 22:44 |
| * koen wants one | 22:44 | |
| shapr | me too. | 22:45 |
| koen | the reminds me | 22:45 |
| shapr | On downside, my phone would then fill up much of my backpack. On the upside, I'd be able to fix bugs myself. | 22:46 |
| * koen registers for the signal processing course next trimester | 22:46 | |
| shapr | And I wouldn't have to deal with idiotic phone salespeople who are convinced of various stupidities like "Our SIM cards are unique to our provider, won't work in your phone." "You can only use the phone we sell, your already purchased phone will not work." | 22:47 |
| shapr | I got to say things like "I know my phone works on your network, I've already used it with my Swedish subscription." and stuff like "Ok, so why don't your sim cards look any different? Have you actually tried it?" | 22:48 |
| shapr | The moral of that story is that nobody in phone or service sales has any clue whatsoever. Also, if you haven't used google to research the phone/provider then you get what you deserve. | 22:49 |

| _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 |
| tko | needs screenshots :) | 23:09 |
| _follower__ | image a black circle with a smaller blackcircle inside it :-) | 23:09 |
| tko | ah, ipod wheel.. I was thinking mouse wheel | 23:10 |
| _follower__ | ok, so apparently I *did* need a screenshot :-) | 23:10 |
| Tak | now if only it was in C... :-P | 23:11 |
| *** _follower_ has quit IRC | 23:11 | |
| _follower__ | Tak: Feel free to port it :-) | 23:12 |
| _follower__ | where does the screenshot app dump its images? | 23:12 |

| Tak | I always use the CLI one that dumps them where you specify | 23:12 |
| _follower__ | for the record: ~/MyDocs/.images | 23:13 |

| _follower__ | Tak: I wouldn't advise reading the code... | 23:16 |
| shapr | I want an analog clock widget where I can drag the hands around. | 23:16 |
| Tak | eh, python is painful no matter what | 23:16 |
| _follower__ | isn't there already a demo for that? actually, no, i think i was thinking of a svg demo | 23:16 |
| shapr | Yeah, I prefer Haskell. | 23:16 |
| tko | _follower__, you might to chat with MDK -- he has something similar, in C I think | 23:17 |
| _follower__ | Tak: i don't find it so... | 23:17 |
| Tak | I know - just my opinion | 23:17 |
| tko | shapr, heh, I've been trying to understand haskell for a few days now | 23:17 |
| shapr | tko: Really? Got any questions? | 23:17 |
| _follower__ | tko: wouldn't suprise me, i did do a search a while back but didn't find anything | 23:17 |

| _follower__ | aCiDBaSe: why are there no public trackers as pymaemo? | 23:18 |
| shapr | Heh, want to see the Haskell intro I wrote for ADHD readers? | 23:18 |
| * shapr is an ADHD reader btw | 23:18 | |
| tko | I kind of get it, but it's far from being as obvious as python, for example | 23:18 |
| tko | shapr, sounds interesting | 23:19 |
| shapr | I thought that when I started, since I moved from Python to Haskell for my primary language. | 23:19 |
| tko | can't recall seeing in the haskell wiki | 23:19 |
| shapr | You'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 |
| shapr | Also, you may want to try #haskell for questions. #haskell is a seriously cool place to hang out | 23:20 |
| _follower__ | MDK: do you have an ipod-esque scrollwheel implementation in C? | 23:20 |
| shapr | But 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 |
| shapr | I try... | 23:21 |
| shapr | I 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 |
| shapr | But my job is to doing fulltime Haskell contracting from home, so... | 23:23 |
| shapr | tko: Oh, the ADHD intro - http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/HaskellDemo | 23:23 |
| shapr | Part 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, etc | 23:24 |
| shapr | I 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 |
| shapr | tko: Anyway, if you have any questions about Haskell the language or community, I'd be happy to help. | 23:26 |
