shodanjr_gr | hello guys! | 00:12 |
---|---|---|
shodanjr_gr | and gals! | 00:12 |
shodanjr_gr | ive been thinking of getting a used 770, can anyone answer a few questions? | 00:12 |
pupnik | yes | 00:14 |
pupnik | probably 6+ billion | 00:14 |
shodanjr_gr | excellent :) | 00:14 |
shodanjr_gr | first of all | 00:15 |
shodanjr_gr | how is it speed wise? | 00:15 |
pupnik | about as fast as a pentium 2 | 00:15 |
pupnik | or an intel xscale 400mhz | 00:16 |
shodanjr_gr | in usage terms for instance, how is the speed/usability of the web browser compared to the one in the recent S60 phones. | 00:16 |
pupnik | the browser is plenty fast, just some websites are terrible | 00:17 |
shodanjr_gr | aha | 00:17 |
shodanjr_gr | what about applications? | 00:17 |
pupnik | you can run applications on it | 00:17 |
shodanjr_gr | i mean | 00:17 |
shodanjr_gr | is there a large variety? is there an office suite compatible with MS Office documents? (at least for viewing) | 00:18 |
pupnik | well on that account 1) ms office documents are a poorly defined standard, with built-in incompatibilities and flaws | 00:19 |
pupnik | but there is a word processor and a .doc viewer | 00:19 |
shodanjr_gr | in responce to 1) i am very well aware of that, unfortunately its a necessary evil | 00:19 |
*** melunko has quit IRC | 00:19 | |
shodanjr_gr | cant get every professor @ my uni + every co-student switch to Open Office :P | 00:20 |
pupnik | it's called abiword and very nice. open office is too big to run on the 770 | 00:20 |
pupnik | but abiword still has a few crash bugs | 00:20 |
shodanjr_gr | well i dont really care about editing, i just want to be able to VIEW files | 00:20 |
pupnik | for that i think people use evince | 00:20 |
shodanjr_gr | What about the email client? has it improved? i read in some reviews that it had some usability issues. | 00:21 |
pupnik | there is a port of claws mail - the standard email client is a bit like 'wordpad' in lack of features | 00:21 |
derf | Just use webmail. | 00:21 |
* celesteh takes notes | 00:22 | |
*** pleemans has quit IRC | 00:22 | |
shodanjr_gr | i use a gmail a lot, but also i gota have access to my uni's email | 00:22 |
pupnik | i use webmail, but i can understand people wanting to connect to a hotspot, download their mails and process them while not online | 00:22 |
shodanjr_gr | yup | 00:22 |
shodanjr_gr | that too | 00:22 |
shodanjr_gr | i also have a nokia e61 smartphone, i'd suppose the two would work well together? (D.U.N over BT for instance for when i am not in range of a hotspot) | 00:22 |
pupnik | anyway searching claws mail threads on internettablettalk.com should return usability reports | 00:23 |
shodanjr_gr | hm... | 00:23 |
shodanjr_gr | another thing | 00:23 |
pupnik | i think dun over bt works with most phones - no experience with it | 00:23 |
shodanjr_gr | does the tablet have a microphone + spearker arranged in such a way that it is skype-friendly? | 00:23 |
* celesteh looks for the reop with clawsmail and abiword | 00:24 | |
pupnik | i've done some feedback tests (it's funny, there's a one-liner in the shell that lets you set up a feedback loop) | 00:24 |
pupnik | and i can get to about 3/5 volume before feedback gain becomes > 1 | 00:24 |
shodanjr_gr | i just checked a compatiblity list and it seems that it cooperates with N-series phones so it would probably work with the E-Series as well | 00:24 |
pupnik | sorry 2/5 | 00:24 |
shodanjr_gr | i didnt quite get those last 2 sentences :p | 00:25 |
pupnik | it has a mic and speaker, the mic hears the speaker | 00:25 |
shodanjr_gr | aaah | 00:25 |
shodanjr_gr | does the headphone slot support phone-headsets? | 00:25 |
shodanjr_gr | (single ear-thingie + mic) | 00:25 |
pupnik | from what i've heard yes, but this isn't confirmed - maybe someone else knows for sure | 00:26 |
shodanjr_gr | hm... | 00:26 |
shodanjr_gr | oh | 00:26 |
shodanjr_gr | another one | 00:26 |
shodanjr_gr | what about PIM apps? | 00:26 |
*** ryanfaerman has joined #maemo | 00:29 | |
*** Pooh22 has joined #maemo | 00:29 | |
pupnik | hmm just found a headset here but it is the 2-plug variety | 00:29 |
pupnik | PIM diehards say the bundled apps fail | 00:30 |
celesteh | you can get a calendar, contacts etc in 3rd party apps | 00:31 |
pupnik | but there's a port of GPE, which is supposedly better | 00:31 |
celesteh | i use that | 00:31 |
celesteh | and i can sync my calendar to google, which is cool | 00:31 |
WhisperingVoices | I really like GPE, compared to everything else I've tried | 00:31 |
WhisperingVoices | although I'm on the N800 not the E61 | 00:31 |
*** alex-weej has quit IRC | 00:32 | |
pupnik | i really need to update the 770 PalmOS emulator someday | 00:33 |
*** krau has quit IRC | 00:33 | |
shodanjr_gr | hm... | 00:34 |
shodanjr_gr | is any of the supported calendar apps sync-able to outlook? | 00:35 |
*** alex-weej has joined #maemo | 00:35 | |
pupnik | http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1180.html this thread deals with that | 00:35 |
*** konttori_ has quit IRC | 00:35 | |
shodanjr_gr | cheers ;) | 00:35 |
*** birunko has quit IRC | 00:36 | |
pupnik | have you found a place that still sells new 770s shodanjr_gr ? | 00:36 |
shodanjr_gr | nope | 00:37 |
shodanjr_gr | im scouting on ebay | 00:37 |
shodanjr_gr | for a used one | 00:37 |
shodanjr_gr | on www.nokia770.com i saw a couple of links to eshops | 00:37 |
shodanjr_gr | with N770s on sale | 00:37 |
shodanjr_gr | you could check it out | 00:37 |
pupnik | i was just wondering - i bought mine last november | 00:38 |
shodanjr_gr | Nokia never released the damn thing here in Greece | 00:38 |
pupnik | goes with me everyehwere | 00:38 |
shodanjr_gr | and they just NOW released the N800 | 00:38 |
shodanjr_gr | which is too expensive for my CS student allowance :p | 00:38 |
shodanjr_gr | oh | 00:38 |
shodanjr_gr | another question | 00:38 |
celesteh | alas | 00:38 |
pupnik | girls think it's cute | 00:38 |
shodanjr_gr | hehehe | 00:38 |
shodanjr_gr | gadgets are converstation starters | 00:39 |
celesteh | total chick magnet | 00:39 |
shodanjr_gr | i get that with my smartphone all the time | 00:39 |
WhisperingVoices | [22:36] <shodanjr_gr> is any of the supported calendar apps sync-able to outlook? <- Ermining allows GPE Calendar to sync to Google Calendar and you can sync Google Calendar to Outlook separately | 00:39 |
pupnik | most people ask questions when they see the 800x480 display | 00:39 |
celesteh | i have to carry a stick with me to beat them away when i'm trying to walk around with my n800 | 00:39 |
shodanjr_gr | aaah cheers WhisperingVoices | 00:39 |
WhisperingVoices | yea the display is sexy as hell | 00:39 |
shodanjr_gr | :p | 00:39 |
shodanjr_gr | yup | 00:39 |
WhisperingVoices | but Shodan I don't know if Ermining will work on the E61 | 00:39 |
shodanjr_gr | i just want something to surf the net on so that i dont have to lug my ultraportable to school every day | 00:40 |
shodanjr_gr | btw does the n770 support WPA-Enterprise wireless security? does it support certificate importing? | 00:40 |
pupnik | with a bluetooth keyboard it would be an excellent lecture note-taking + sketch device | 00:40 |
shodanjr_gr | i dont take notes :p i just pay attention | 00:40 |
WhisperingVoices | I find mine is decent for sketching ... no bluetooth keyboards I've found yet though | 00:41 |
shodanjr_gr | how's the handwritting recognition? | 00:41 |
celesteh | i find the finger keyboard thing to be pretty good for note taking, actually | 00:41 |
shodanjr_gr | back when i had a palm i was pretty fast with graffiti | 00:41 |
WhisperingVoices | I don't know about Enterprise security, mine is running WPA-PSK | 00:41 |
pupnik | get a Nokia 770 and help test the palm emulator please | 00:42 |
WhisperingVoices | I can't get used to the finger keyboard, I guess I should practice more | 00:42 |
shodanjr_gr | if and when i get it, ill be spending some time here :p | 00:42 |
shodanjr_gr | anyone here have experience with running skype on the 770? | 00:43 |
*** Pooh22 has left #maemo | 00:43 | |
WhisperingVoices | No but then I haven't found out how to operate my webcam yet | 00:43 |
*** booiiing_ is now known as booiiing | 00:43 | |
WhisperingVoices | I know you'll need to patch the OS to get Skype | 00:43 |
shodanjr_gr | im talking about the 770, i dont think that has a webcam :p | 00:43 |
WhisperingVoices | I was illustrating my lack of connectivity :P | 00:44 |
shodanjr_gr | hahahah :p | 00:44 |
shodanjr_gr | it'd be pretty handy if skype where usable | 00:44 |
celesteh | i hate handwriting recorgnition. bluetooth keyboards are kind of hard to find in the netherlands | 00:44 |
shodanjr_gr | id love free phonecalls and i cant get my E61 to connect to my Uni's Wifi net | 00:44 |
celesteh | i mean, tiny portable ones. there's one shop that sells them and they're always sold out | 00:44 |
shodanjr_gr | did you check on ebay? | 00:45 |
celesteh | want to try before i buy | 00:45 |
WhisperingVoices | I think Skype is usable on the n770 | 00:45 |
WhisperingVoices | but it has lots of features disabled like file sharing and so on | 00:46 |
shodanjr_gr | ah kk celesteh | 00:46 |
shodanjr_gr | id just check reviews and buy on ebay though | 00:46 |
* celesteh checking out claws mail | 00:46 | |
shodanjr_gr | btw | 00:47 |
celesteh | ooh, this is fancy. it has a wizard and everything | 00:47 |
shodanjr_gr | what's up with the Hacker edition of 2007 for the 770? | 00:47 |
shodanjr_gr | is it usable? | 00:47 |
* shodanjr_gr wishes the n880 werent so expensive | 00:48 | |
WhisperingVoices | there's an n880!? | 00:48 |
*** birunko has joined #maemo | 00:48 | |
shodanjr_gr | eeer | 00:48 |
shodanjr_gr | sleight of finger | 00:48 |
shodanjr_gr | N800 :p | 00:48 |
WhisperingVoices | Well I know there are some articles on how to set up your 800 for packetsniffing and other hijinks, abusing its wireless and assorted Linux stuff - for which you need to flash your OS to get root access | 00:49 |
*** birunko has quit IRC | 00:49 | |
WhisperingVoices | the hacker version could be a root-enabled version | 00:49 |
pupnik | shodanjr_gr: it is usable and offers some improvements, but it is a hackers playtool - for normal use 2006 is better | 00:50 |
shodanjr_gr | aha | 00:51 |
shodanjr_gr | and on top of it all, i STILL havent recieved my Call of Duty 4 beta acceptance email :p | 00:52 |
pupnik | with respect to games, there is one danger | 00:53 |
pupnik | once you get a 770 and set-up scratchbox, you might find that porting your favorite apps/games is more fun than playing them | 00:53 |
WhisperingVoices | what's Scratchbox? | 00:54 |
_Monkey | Scratchbox is like the glue that ties it all together | 00:54 |
pupnik | gonna fix that | 00:54 |
WhisperingVoices | Say you're a complete novice to Linux and software and everything, but there is an application you really want to port and you don't mind doing the work and learning | 00:54 |
WhisperingVoices | Where would you start? | 00:54 |
* celesteh curses | 00:55 | |
WhisperingVoices | I *really* want Kdissert for the n800, or Brainstorm | 00:55 |
*** melmoth has quit IRC | 00:55 | |

celesteh | yarg, i told claws mail to use my primary gmail account and it's trying to download 1k messages. oops | 00:55 |
shodanjr_gr | hahhaha | 00:55 |

shodanjr_gr | or not | 00:56 |
shodanjr_gr | keep a fire extuinguisher handy incase it catches fire | 00:56 |
lle2 | WhisperingVoices: follow the maemo sbox guide, make a tiny little test program, package it up and run it on the device. after you're sure you got that, start playing with the app that you want to port. | 00:56 |
shodanjr_gr | if i knew how to program on anything BUT java, id try porting some stuff over :p | 00:57 |
* celesteh powercycles | 00:57 | |
lle2 | WhisperingVoices: do not use scratchbox.org documentation, it will confuse you. | 00:57 |
*** sbaturzio has quit IRC | 00:57 | |
shodanjr_gr | btw will Asus EVER release that EEE pc? | 00:57 |
celesteh | alas, java is unsupported so far, but python isn't too hard to pick up | 00:57 |
WhisperingVoices | hmm | 00:58 |
WhisperingVoices | it seems odd that Java is unsupported | 00:58 |
celesteh | also, it is wise to learn more than one language when you're a cs student :) | 00:58 |
celesteh | it's annoying, as i have a bunch of java apps i'd like to run. i think javasoft is working on a port right now | 00:58 |
*** birunko has joined #maemo | 00:59 | |
shodanjr_gr | none of you guys have heard of the EEE? | 00:59 |
WhisperingVoices | I'm not a CS student | 01:00 |
*** birunko has quit IRC | 01:00 | |
WhisperingVoices | :/ | 01:00 |
shodanjr_gr | :p | 01:00 |
shodanjr_gr | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_Eee | 01:00 |
WhisperingVoices | eee looks nice | 01:01 |
WhisperingVoices | I hope I have a better paying job when it comes out | 01:01 |
shodanjr_gr | its pretty cheap and its got good specs | 01:01 |
lle2 | electrical engineers and math and physics seem to be more useful for embedded sw development than plain cs. | 01:01 |
shodanjr_gr | lots of good things can happen with a 900mhz CPU and 512 megs of ram | 01:01 |
*** andrunko has quit IRC | 01:03 | |

shodanjr_gr | i wish they had given a touchscreen to the PSP :p | 01:03 |
pupnik | scratchbox? | 01:03 |
_Monkey | scratchbox is, like, a cross-compilation toolkit designed to make embedded Linux application development easier. It is used by Maemo development platform but is not restricted to that use. Homepage: http://www.scratchbox.org/ Maemo 3.x (bora/N800) tutorial: http://qurl.org/yN Maemo 2.2 (gregale/770) tutorial: http://qurl.org/zN A walkthrough for 3.x: http://qurl.org/0O | 01:03 |
kikka | The eee in germany costs more than in the usa. i think that#s a little bit unfair :/ But... eventually i buy it. | 01:05 |
shodanjr_gr | well | 01:06 |
pupnik | germany has stronger consumer protection laws, higher taxes and import tarriffs and higher energy prices - all of these are reflected in product prices | 01:06 |
shodanjr_gr | since the USD went to hell eveyrthing costs more in the EU than in the US | 01:07 |
shodanjr_gr | think XBOX 360, PS3, all kinds of software etc etc | 01:07 |
lle2 | eh? funny logic. I guess you're from US? | 01:07 |
shodanjr_gr | plus most US prices are listed without VAT while most EU prices include VAT | 01:07 |
pupnik | that is backwards. when the value of the dollar falls, prices go up in the USA | 01:07 |
pupnik | that is correct | 01:07 |
pupnik | scratchbox? | 01:08 |
_Monkey | rumour has it scratchbox is a cross-compilation toolkit for maemo application development. Homepage: http://www.scratchbox.org/ Maemo 3.x (bora/N800) tutorial: http://qurl.org/yN Maemo 2.2 (gregale/770) tutorial: http://qurl.org/zN A walkthrough for 3.x: http://qurl.org/0O Scratchbox Downloads: http://qurl.org/1O | 01:08 |
shodanjr_gr | its not about the value of the dollar, its about the way companies decide to set the dollar as equal to the euro | 01:08 |
shodanjr_gr | while thats not the case | 01:08 |
lle2 | no longer true | 01:08 |
shodanjr_gr | $399 is not €399 and companies should know that | 01:08 |
xorAxAx | @@? | 01:08 |
shodanjr_gr | that second 399 is in Euros :p | 01:09 |
pupnik | lle2 do you want to improve that scratchbox hint for _Monkey? | 01:09 |
kikka | Yes. It sucks. I'll have an ee for 199$. | 01:09 |
kikka | Not for 299€ or 399€. | 01:09 |
lle2 | pupnik: not really, I don't have anything constructive to say about sb1 :) | 01:09 |
tso | hmm, it seems my current fonts have issues with non-english letters... | 01:10 |
*** Blacksitox has joined #maemo | 01:10 | |
*** sbaturzio has joined #maemo | 01:11 | |
pupnik | you pay higher prices in europe because your governments know what to do with your money better than you do | 01:11 |
pupnik | (or at least they think they do) | 01:11 |
*** Darksmurf has joined #maemo | 01:11 | |
shodanjr_gr | even after taxes we end up paying more pupnik | 01:12 |
pupnik | yes do you know why? | 01:12 |
lle2 | also because here you need localised versions for each 5-15 million people | 01:12 |
lle2 | with localised support | 01:12 |
shodanjr_gr | no we dont :p | 01:12 |
pupnik | well consider that in germany, computer products must carry a three year warranty. Who ends up paying for all those devices that get sent back after 2.5 years? | 01:13 |
pupnik | You pay for it, in the purchase price. | 01:13 |
pupnik | In england i think it's 5 years. | 01:13 |
*** lsobral has quit IRC | 01:13 | |
Blacksitox | re | 01:13 |
shodanjr_gr | actually its european law or something that all electronics come with a 2 year warranty | 01:13 |
celesteh | the taxes aren't so great, but my gf got a root canal for about 150€, so i think i'm coming out ahead so far. | 01:14 |
pupnik | In the US you have the *option* of purchasing an extended warranty - if you want to pay for it. | 01:14 |
shodanjr_gr | also | 01:14 |
shodanjr_gr | here in Greece | 01:14 |
shodanjr_gr | its freaking hot | 01:14 |
pupnik | Which solution offers choice to the consumer? | 01:14 |
celesteh | hahaha | 01:14 |
lle2 | funny, most of the stuff I buy in finland seem to carry only a 12month warranty. not that it really matters. end up losing most of the crap before that anyway. | 01:14 |
celesteh | the guy at the media markt tried to sell me an extended warranty with my n800 | 01:15 |
*** ssvb has quit IRC | 01:15 | |
celesteh | because it only came with 6 months or something | 01:15 |
shodanjr_gr | let me restate the above | 01:15 |
shodanjr_gr | i meant a 2 years MANUFACTURER's warranty | 01:15 |
shodanjr_gr | not a store-warranty | 01:15 |
shodanjr_gr | or maybe its the other way | 01:15 |
shodanjr_gr | im not sure, havent slept in a long time | 01:15 |
pupnik | i think you are correct shodanjr_gr | 01:15 |
celesteh | ah. well, he also told me the warranty would cover me if it died because of a bike crash, but i'm skeptical of that | 01:16 |
shodanjr_gr | well accidental insurance is different | 01:16 |
tso | pupnik: as some have tried to point out with linux distros, to much choice is a bad thing, at times... | 01:16 |
shodanjr_gr | the manufacturer's warranty covers you on hardware failures | 01:16 |
Darksmurf | On the wiki there is a section on integrating bt pan into the connection manager on the 770. It links to a page to download 'dbus-s'. The link has a ) at the end. It causes a 404 error. It took me awhile to notice the problem. I just thought the file was goe. Could someone fix it? | 01:16 |
shodanjr_gr | although most of my electronics at some point or other end up out of warranty before their time | 01:17 |
celesteh | i don't really beleive that they would cover me if i, say, crashed cuz i was drunk bicycling (don't drink and bike) | 01:17 |
shodanjr_gr | cause i always brek the warranty seals and poke inside :p | 01:17 |
shodanjr_gr | celesteh there are some store-warranties that cover ANY sort of damage regardless of cause | 01:17 |
shodanjr_gr | there was a store in the US that would even replace your console if YOU poored water on it on PURPOSE | 01:17 |
*** Zword has quit IRC | 01:18 | |
lle2 | what happened to the store? | 01:18 |
celesteh | that's nuts. | 01:18 |
shodanjr_gr | its a large chain | 01:18 |
shodanjr_gr | and thats an extra charge service | 01:18 |
shodanjr_gr | its not the default warranty | 01:19 |
pupnik | of course there are positives and negatives tso - recall the USA N770 buyer whose 770 broke after 18 days and he could not get it fixed for free because it wasn't from an authorized reseller | 01:19 |
shodanjr_gr | and it costed quite a big | 01:19 |
shodanjr_gr | *bit | 01:19 |
lle2 | that's different. sure you can buy such idiot insurances in europe as well | 01:19 |
tso | yep, there is no black or white, only infinite shades of gray... | 01:19 |
celesteh | i finally pointed claws mail at the right gmail account and now it's timing out when connecting to the SMTP server | 01:20 |
shodanjr_gr | in other news i aced my compilers project today :p | 01:20 |
celesteh | yay! | 01:20 |
* shodanjr_gr duffman pelvis thrust | 01:20 | |
pupnik | shodanjr_gr: you should implement X86-ARM dynamic recompilation in dosbox | 01:20 |
shodanjr_gr | hm... | 01:20 |
shodanjr_gr | actually | 01:20 |
lle2 | fix qemu instead | 01:20 |
shodanjr_gr | for the moment id like to add a division operation to the small subset of java i had to make a compiler for :p | 01:21 |
shodanjr_gr | brb gona go get some cereals | 01:22 |
pupnik | I wish universities would put computer science students to work on *useful* things | 01:22 |
celesteh | undergrads at uc berkeley wrote GIMP, iirc | 01:22 |
pupnik | uc berkeley also wrote BSD | 01:23 |
pupnik | before the days of the microsoft takeover of universities | 01:23 |
celesteh | but not undergrads in their free time | 01:23 |
celesteh | which is who wrote gimp | 01:23 |
celesteh | java is really really popular with cs departments now, and with good reason | 01:23 |
pupnik | yeah i remember | 01:23 |
lle2 | sure they write useful things, if you value some enterprise java beans | 01:24 |
celesteh | i don't know if i've ever written anything useful actually | 01:24 |
WhisperingVoices | how virus-proof is Linux? I haven't spotted anything like ClamAV for the n800 yet | 01:25 |
celesteh | no, scratch that. lots of cgi scripts :p | 01:25 |
shodanjr_gr | yeah | 01:25 |
shodanjr_gr | id like that too | 01:25 |
shodanjr_gr | we dont get the chacne to work on "usable" stuff | 01:26 |
* celesteh drones on about current theories of university pedagogy | 01:26 | |
celesteh | actually, i think there's a trend going on, away from usable. | 01:27 |
shodanjr_gr | actually the only projects ive ever done that were close to "usable" were a couple of web based applications (PHP and JSP) | 01:27 |
Darksmurf | Anyone here know how to make a bootable cd that is more than a few megs in size? | 01:27 |
shodanjr_gr | and they were BORING as hell | 01:27 |
shodanjr_gr | im talking "slice my wrists like an emo kid boring" | 01:27 |
celesteh | most programming is boring as hell. large reason i don't do it for money any more | 01:27 |
shodanjr_gr | well | 01:27 |
shodanjr_gr | idk | 01:27 |
shodanjr_gr | i loved both the compiler's project | 01:28 |
shodanjr_gr | and a cryptography project i did | 01:28 |
shodanjr_gr | very fun and very challenging | 01:28 |
celesteh | i loved school too. it's great. always doing new things. nobody asks you to fix bugs in the stupid project of doom that never ends. it's great | 01:28 |
shodanjr_gr | hahhaha :p | 01:29 |
celesteh | programming for money on the other hand . . . | 01:29 |
shodanjr_gr | that IS true | 01:29 |
*** Darksmurf has left #maemo | 01:29 | |
shodanjr_gr | yeah thats one of the things i fear for when im done with the university tvh | 01:29 |
shodanjr_gr | what do you do for aliving now celesteh? | 01:29 |
celesteh | find out why the db gets out of sync when people use this giant collection of broken CGI scripts that don't do locking correctly. arg. | 01:29 |
*** Vudentz has quit IRC | 01:30 | |

shodanjr_gr | that sounds cool | 01:30 |

shodanjr_gr | hm... | 01:36 |
shodanjr_gr | what to do... | 01:36 |
WhisperingVoices | it's my favourite British comedy | 01:36 |
WhisperingVoices | well worth a look if you're into understated savage humour | 01:36 |
shodanjr_gr | i like the old school stuff | 01:36 |
shodanjr_gr | Monty Pythons | 01:36 |
shodanjr_gr | John Cleese | 01:36 |
WhisperingVoices | Fawlty Towers, Fools and Horses? | 01:36 |
shodanjr_gr | oh yeah | 01:36 |
shodanjr_gr | Fawlty Towers is soooooooooooooooooooo good | 01:36 |
WhisperingVoices | So anyway - is the N800 virus-prone or too small to have any viruses written for it? | 01:37 |
celesteh | tso, i don't know how you can fix that except for reflashing | 01:37 |
shodanjr_gr | well | 01:37 |
shodanjr_gr | like any device in theory its virus prone | 01:37 |
*** cmarcelo has quit IRC | 01:37 | |
tso | i was afraid of something like that | 01:37 |
WhisperingVoices | [23:36] <tso> hmm, i have a feel that the database (or whatever) that the application manager uses have been corrupted. it seems i have minimo installed while i cant find it in said manager... <- can you not access it through Extras either? | 01:38 |
shodanjr_gr | its been proven that for every combination of OS and harwdare platform there CAN be a virus | 01:38 |
shodanjr_gr | however getting an Internet Tablet infected would be the least of my worries :p | 01:38 |
celesteh | i could just be a problem with minimo | 01:38 |
WhisperingVoices | Okay, but since there are no AV programmes (that I've found) what are my chances of picking something up? | 01:38 |
celesteh | IT could just be a problem with minimo. lord knows that app has problems | 01:38 |
shodanjr_gr | very very very slim to nilch | 01:38 |
tso | WhisperingVoices: i can run it just fine from extras, thats why i think its still installed. under its not listed under installed apps, but shows up under "installable apps"... | 01:38 |
*** tank17 has joined #maemo | 01:39 | |
lle2 | tried re-installing and then removing? | 01:39 |
celesteh | what happens if you try to install it, tso? | 01:39 |
shodanjr_gr | the Internet Platform user base is too small for a virus writter to actually bother | 01:39 |
tso | the install fails, with a very non-informative error... | 01:39 |
celesteh | one of the bajillion lurkers is going to take that as a challenge | 01:39 |
WhisperingVoices | when I tried to install Minimo it pretended to crash half way through, I tried again and it said it was installed and it shows up fine for me | 01:39 |
shodanjr_gr | :p | 01:39 |
*** |tbb| has joined #maemo | 01:39 | |
lle2 | shodanjr_gr: I think virus writers are simply not smart enough to get the dev environment working | 01:39 |
WhisperingVoices | I'll use the default browser instead of minimo then | 01:40 |
*** |tbb| has left #maemo | 01:40 | |
tso | but i have a feel the install fails because of a lack of space... | 01:40 |

celesteh | you can check how much space you have by looking at the file manager. | 01:40 |
tso | also, minimo is just the largest of the programs not listed iirc. there are some others in "extras" that i cant find listed in installed apps... | 01:40 |
WhisperingVoices | try Red Pilling? | 01:41 |
WhisperingVoices | maybe there's some sort of weird permissions problem in getting it to show | 01:41 |
shodanjr_gr | ahahhaah Black Adder 2 is hilarious | 01:41 |
tso | hmm, didnt think about that. sillty me | 01:41 |
* celesteh is lazy and would just backup and reflash | 01:42 | |

tso | hehe, cool picture :) | 02:13 |
tso | looks like a interesting device that :) | 02:14 |
tso | does it have triggers on top? | 02:14 |
tso | still, there is allways the gp2x | 02:16 |
tso | well talk about the sun, does this look familiar? http://gp2x.com/ | 02:18 |
pupnik | I know the gp2x but i don't want to buy a device just for games | 02:22 |
pupnik | And i don't want to carry around two or three devices | 02:22 |
tso | i know the feel... | 02:23 |
tso | hell, with the 770, im allready carrying two device (it and a phone, the SE Z710) | 02:24 |
pupnik | I'm afraid Nokia will not put any buttons on the right hand side for two reasons: 1) The tablet is supposed to look 'serious' and rhs buttons might make it look too 'gamey' and 2) Nokia might not want to turn the tablet into a device that could compete with their N-Gage line. | 02:24 |
tso | thats why i said "put in n-gage support in the sprint-bound wimax version of n800" | 02:24 |
pupnik | Ahh | 02:25 |
pupnik | But even with n-gage support, the controllers on the N800 are not suitable. | 02:25 |
pupnik | You *need* an 8-way dpad that can be moved swiftly, and at least 4 buttons on the rhs | 02:26 |
pupnik | An interesting possiblity might be a slide-on case with integrated gaming dpad on the left and buttons on the righthand side | 02:27 |
tso | hmm... | 02:27 |
tso | usb connected maybe? | 02:27 |
*** krau has joined #maemo | 02:27 | |

tso | still, that gp2x-f200 looks sexy. and by the looks of it comes with cave story installed?! | 02:27 |
*** red-zack has quit IRC | 02:28 | |
pupnik | Yes, i like it best of all the portable gaming platforms. | 02:28 |
tso | i would go with usb if the port on the n800 is in the same place as the 770. especially if its a slide on design... | 02:28 |
pupnik | However it has the same cpus as the f100, which means no full-speed Snes or PSX possible | 02:29 |
*** jonty_ has joined #maemo | 02:29 | |
pupnik | I might build my own slide on case controller with the bluetooth gamepad that's sold for 30 euro. | 02:30 |

tso | http://buglabs.net/products | 02:40 |

tso | hmm, seems to be the same as the one in the n800... | 02:41 |
tso | but there is no talk about the amount of ram... | 02:41 |

konttori | http://psyco.sourceforge.net/introduction.html | 14:03 |
*** colinl has quit IRC | 14:05 | |
konttori | It would need porting to be compatible with arm. They say: "2x to 100x speed-ups, typically 4x, with an unmodified Python interpreter and unmodified source code, just a dynamically loadable C extension module." | 14:06 |
konttori | OTOH: they also say it consumes quite a lot of memory. | 14:06 |
*** jnettlet has quit IRC | 14:07 | |
*** colinl has joined #maemo | 14:08 | |
konttori | also, pypy seems like more mature JIT for python: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/news.html | 14:11 |
*** colinl_ has quit IRC | 14:19 | |
MoRpHeUz | konttori: hmm...this "lot of memory" could be also an issue for us on the device.. | 14:28 |
*** vmarks has joined #maemo | 14:31 | |
xorAxAx | no, psyco is more mature than pypy's partial evaluation jit generator | 14:32 |
* xorAxAx hacked already on pypy | 14:32 | |
*** Sho_ has joined #maemo | 14:43 | |
konttori | ahh.. interesting | 14:48 |
konttori | but pypy is more portable (to arm) right? | 14:48 |
konttori | Also, even partieal evaluation might be very much better. | 14:49 |
konttori | (than none) | 14:49 |
xorAxAx | konttori: well, the generated JIT compiler currently slows down most programs | 14:49 |
xorAxAx | konttori: in order to port it to arm, you need to write a new code generator for the target | 14:50 |
xorAxAx | unfortunately, llvm doesnt offer the necessary features to fit into the architecture of the result of the partial evaluated program | 14:50 |
konttori | ahh.. that's sad | 14:52 |
*** colinl has quit IRC | 14:52 | |
*** colinl has joined #maemo | 14:52 | |

*** Sulis_ has joined #maemo | 14:59 | |

WhisperingVoices | is there any navigation software for the n800? | 23:33 |
theril | WhisperingVoices: MaemoMapper | 23:33 |
celesteh_rules | maemo mapper | 23:33 |
_Monkey | hmmm... maemo mapper is geographical mapping software specifically designed for the Maemo platform and the Nokia 770/N800 form factor. http://maemo.org/downloads/product/maemo-mapper/ | 23:33 |
celesteh_rules | monkey is finely useful | 23:33 |
WhisperingVoices | I love you monkey. | 23:33 |
celesteh_rules | it is a really good program | 23:33 |
theril | Damn, for some reason maemo's xorg-server won't take --enable-randr | 23:34 |
timelyx | i hope you mean mapper and not monkey | 23:34 |
celesteh_rules | especially good witha bluetooth gps dongle | 23:34 |
* celesteh_rules means mapper | 23:34 | |
celesteh_rules | saved the day several times on my last bike trip | 23:35 |
timelyx | um | 23:35 |
celesteh_rules | however, battery life is shortened a lot, i think because of the bluetooth connection | 23:35 |
timelyx | does maemo really not support ext2? | 23:35 |
celesteh_rules | you get maybe 3 hours if you only turn on the display sparingly | 23:35 |
theril | Hmm.. I read from logs that [mbm] has had a X server with RANDR enabled | 23:35 |

celesteh_rules | which reminds me . . . little generators that you can attach to a bike tire generate 6 V, 3W. Could I plug this directly into the n800 charger? | 23:36 |

smokie | I have a problem with rising processor load (caused by jffs2_gcd_mtd4) and automatic reboots on my N770 with OS 2006 49-2. Reflashing the device helps, but that`s not what i want to do every 14 days. The Last time it happened while using maemo-mapper and a BT GPS device. Any hints ? | 23:48 |

timelyx | smokie: where is mapper storing its maps? | 23:51 |
*** red-zack has joined #maemo | 23:51 | |
smokie | on mmc | 23:51 |
*** sbaturzio has quit IRC | 23:52 | |
celesteh_rules | that shouldn't happen. you might be accidentally filling up all your memory | 23:52 |
timelyx | what is /usr/bin/chage ? | 23:52 |
timelyx | df -h | 23:53 |
*** red-zack has quit IRC | 23:53 | |
smokie | right after boot the system is accesible and i can start xtrem an top where i can see jffs2_gcd_mtd4 preformance rising up. After some minutes xterm gets closed and after some more, the device reboots. | 23:54 |

sp3000 | smokie: version? | 23:55 |
sp3000 | oh, you mentioned | 23:55 |
*** red-zack has quit IRC | 23:56 | |
sp3000 | but yeah, what timelyx said, don't store huge amounts of files (like map tiles) in internal flash | 23:56 |
timelyx | i didn't actually say that, but what sp3000 said :) | 23:57 |
smokie | /dev/mtdblock4 -> /mnt/initfs 2M use 0100% .... and .... /dev/mtdblock4 -> / ??? Use 89% | 23:57 |
smokie | the map files are stored on MMC | 23:57 |
milhouse | timeless: hopefully bug 1955 is to your satisfaction :) | 23:58 |
_Monkey | Bug 1955 might be found at https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1955 | 23:58 |
*** red-zack has joined #maemo | 23:58 | |
sp3000 | smokie: what about jffs2_gcd_mtd4 grows? | 23:59 |
