MDKqgil: yeah, I'm trying to create a whole D bundle for 77011:22
MDKI think it makes sense11:23
qgilnew languages for new platforms, sounds sensible11:23
qgil(I'm saying this having no clue about D, but I'm a Concepts Victim)11:24
Guardian.11:24
qgilgood luck MDK, sounds like an interesting project - good for GNOME as well11:24
MDKwel, D is a natural upgrade over C I'd say11:25
MDKvery similiar to C# in terms of semantics11:26
MDKbut compiles to native code, like C11:26
MDKI used to think C# is a way to go11:26
MDKbut after the whole novell/ms thing I'm not so sure about it11:26
MDKnot that I join the "panic club"11:27
MDKbut there is just too much confusion/politics in all that11:27
inzI'll stick with C11:34
*** koen has joined #maemo11:35
MDKinz: C is not a solution to develop more complex stuff11:35
MDKsoftware is becoming too complex11:35
MDKor rather -- it's too expensive to develop higher-level stuff with C11:35
MDKgobject is a shit hole11:36
suihkulokkiMDK: mono (and shitload of other FOSS code) will only get lawsuits and nastystuff(tm) when microsoft is in the same market position as SCO was 3 years ago11:38
MDKsuihkulokki: possibly. The question remains -- will it hurt it11:39
MDKlawsuits might hurt novell, but community/usage is another thing11:40
suihkulokkiMDK: I think it'll end like decss, the code and support will be there, but you need to gets bits from somewhere11:41
MDKin any case, the recent moves by novell seem pretty chaotic11:44
MDKmaybe they're just drowning much faster than everybody else11:45
MDKhopefully not11:45
qgilwhat I like is the fact that every time a non-fully-free-of-suspition free option gets some kind of trouble (or quick success) there is people happy to work on a reliable 100x100% free alternative11:48
qgil(I'm saying this having no clue about C#, but I'm a Concepts Victim)  ;)11:48
MDKhehe11:49

greentuxflorian_kc: can I call you by phone?18:54
florian_kcgreentux: you can... hmm as soon as i found our temporary number18:55
greentuxflorian_kc: on the website there is aphone number ;)18:55
greentuxflorian_kc: ah you moved...18:55
qgilQuestion from someone moving to helsinki in 10 days: if I have cable in the house do I need to contract a phone line as well or do people deal with mobile phones and voip?18:58
qgilI'm asking about current habits and trends  :)18:58
inzpeople do deal with mobile phones18:59
inzvoip might be trickier18:59
inzAt least I18:59
inzhad a cable internet connection in helsinki without a land line18:59
qgilinz: i'm thinking of voip for calling abroad and receiving internartional calls, where maybe mobiles are too expensive?19:01
qgilmaybe gizmo can help here19:01
inzIf you have a phone number for your voip, I guess there's no problem using that19:02
suihkulokkiqgil: you can get both cable and DSL connections without landline.19:03
*** Guardian has joined #maemo19:06
qgilsuihkulokki: mmm... do you mean paying dsl as well as cable?19:06
qgilan objective woiuld be to pay just one service19:06
*** Guardian has quit IRC19:07
suihkulokkiqgil: no, I meant you don't need landline even if you choose dsl instead of cable19:07
hubqgil: calling cell phones in europe is a huge scam19:08
hub:-/19:08
qgilsuihkulokki: ah well, yes, this is what I have now in Spain, but since the house is equipped with cablñe and perhaps we miss some international tv...19:08
*** fab has quit IRC19:08
llehub: umm, from whose perspective?19:09
hublle: the caller19:09
hubwhose do you think?19:09
llehub: as in, how?19:09
hublle: Canada -> France, .07$/min. Canada -> France (cell), .27$/min19:09
hublle: you need more?>19:09
qgilcalling mobile phones is a secondary priority, it's more about relatives and the usual friends at nights and weekends - typical homesick phone contact  ;)19:10
hublle: some all across the world actually BUT for north america19:10
hubqgil: people calling you on your mobile phone, that's what I meant19:10
hubqgil: from abroad19:10
llehub: ah, you mean that it's more expensive than local calls, well. uhm.19:10
hublle: NO, I mean it cost me more to call a cell than to call a land line from Canada to the same country19:11
huband by more it is like 4 times19:11
huband when I was in France it cost me more to call a cell in France from a land-line than Canada19:11
suihkulokkihub: it's still cheaper than international calls used be..19:11
hubso distance does not matter19:11
hubsuihkulokki: *used* to19:11
qgilhub: ah yes, but we all know that - this is why voip could come into play: call me to my mobile if it's urgent, otherwise call to this voip number from your normal phone and my 770 or my laptop or my voip phone will ring19:11
llehub: that's seriously no news to anyone ;)19:12
hublle: so why do you argue?19:12
llehub: I argued? I just didn't see how it was more of an issue than normally19:12
suihkulokkihub: the current cheap landline rates is simply operators trying keep people from disconnecting their landlines (which typically are not much used anymore but have hefty monthly bill)19:12
hubbottom line I never call my parents on their cell, they always call me on my cell :-)19:13
hubsuihkulokki: "cheap"?19:13
hubnot really19:13
suihkulokkiwhatever19:13
llesame19:13
qgilok guys, thanks for your feedback19:16
qgilmy first conclusion is that I'll start digging the cable possibilities combined with the nice mobile phone I hope to get at work  ;)19:17
qgilperhaps this will be enough to solve calls & internet & international tv19:17
*** stanlly has joined #maemo19:17
hubqgil: you'll get an Ericsson phone ? ;-019:18
* hub runs19:18
qgilI've some Motorola that are pretty cool actually  :P19:18
qgilI've seen19:18
* hub has a Moto19:18
* hub does not work for a phone manufacturer19:18
hubit did replace my Nokia that died19:19
* desrt is sure to bring a moto to guadec this year, steal quim's phone, slip out the sim card and toss it in the moto19:19
* qgil has to read carefully the terms and conditions when he gets the lended mobile from Nokia19:20
desrtonly lended?19:20
hubas long as they don't give you a crackberry19:20
hub:-)19:20
hubdesrt: no freebies19:21
desrtvery odd.19:21
qgil(in the meantime I'll keep my ol' cheap alcatel for the people calling to my current spanish number)19:21
qgili believe it's not given - as the laptop you get19:21
hubah19:21
desrtit'll be nice if voip really takes off19:21
desrtimagine phone-by-google19:21
hubalcatel, that why people at alcatel have Motorola phones :-)19:22
qgilI'd say it's closer than it seems19:22
desrthttp://phone.google.com?q=quim+gil19:22
desrt*ring*19:22
hubdesrt: "all you conversations are belong to us"19:22
desrtthen you don't have to worry about "my spanish number" vs. "my new number", etc19:22
desrthub; nah. they'd just be the search service19:22
desrtit would actually be interesting to hijack google for uses like this19:23
desrtjust invent some keyword like phonesearchunlikelyname1234519:24
*** ssvb has quit IRC19:24
desrtthen publish some spec somewhere that says you should create an HTML page containing the phrase "phonesearchunlikelyname12345 your name" and proceed to get yourself listed on google19:24
desrtthen people can use (the normal) google to find an html page with your phone number in some meta tag19:25
qgildesrt: forget phone numbers, go semantic19:26
qgilyou should be able to shout to your [multimedia portable device] something like "please find f***** desrt right now!"19:27
hubbut I'm in a desert?19:27
hubs/?/!/19:27
desrtya.  that system doesn't work if you can't pronounce the person's name :)19:28
qgilthe device would reply " who you mean, that Canadian guy saying "ai" at GUADEC?" - remember devices will have bigger/better memory19:28
desrt:)19:28
desrtthe system would be cool for these reasons:19:29
qgilsemantics go nowhere without foaf19:29
desrt1) if you change your number, since you control the html page, you can change it instantly19:29
desrt2) same popularity metrics as google already does19:29
desrt3) you could even have some sort of cgi script to give different numbers for different times during the day19:29
desrtand btw -- it's "eh?" :)19:30
mgedminheh, it could play 20 questions at you19:31
mgedmin"is that the guy you met at GUADEC?"19:31
desrt"is the entity you are calling an animal mineral or vegetable?"19:32

qgilimagine, before having a conversation with your friends you could have a conversation with your device - making your friends almost useless  ;)19:33
Takyeah, that sounds about like my friends ;-)19:34
qgilMy device answers: "If you want to talk to the "desrt" I'm thinking of, I have to tell you that I got bad karma reports lately from "hub", that guy so well ranked in your del.icio.rkut profile"19:35
desrtdel.icio.rkut is a delicious concept19:36
qgil... in the meantime I'll try the cable - even if at the end of 2007 I would probably watch more online video time than broadcats tv...19:36
desrtnext step, of course, is del.icio.rkutr19:37

pahartikkeesj: "irssi" is running as proxy (and client under "screen") on my Alpha server... I create tunnels with SSH, so that remote IRC clients can connect to "localhost"...22:48
pahartikkeesj: same thing with HTTP, IMAP, SMTP, NNTP clients... all go fine through SSH port redirection22:50
pahartikkeesj: and yes, Nokia 770 is not direct upgrade from Handspring Visor Edge... I did carry Apple iBook G4 all over for two years, and now I do not need to take it along everywhere22:54
keesjI would like to use xchat. perhaps like described here http://deb.riseup.net/desktop/dircproxy/22:58
keesjI have several linux routers at home that can run this kind of apps22:59
pahartikkeesj: sure, SSL is nice, but SSH is easier to set up... and I have used standalone IRC proxies too, even before "irssi" existed23:02
* pahartik does not understand SSL well enough yet23:07
*** djcb has joined #maemo23:09
pahartikkeesj: oh, and... SSH supports compression before encryption... I think SSL by itself does not have such feature23:10
