zerojayIt's something most French people do.03:13
zerojayPutting a 20 before the 21s like that.03:13
zerojaySeparating them.03:13
pupniki did not know this :)03:13

|Rhaha03:16
zerojaypupnik: It's something you learn when you do a lot of text translations... and because our game would see the space, if it was at the end of the line, it would wrap so that the 21 was at the bottom of the next line all alone.03:16
zerojaySo I spent a good amount of time adding in A0's instead of 20's for those cases.03:17

cosmo469€ price for 810 in finland (was in verkkokauppa.com)15:25
czrin a purely platonic manner of course15:25
lardman /usr/local/ is probably the place one should install things, but it's not in the path afaik15:25
*** fsmw has joined #maemo15:25
cosmobut where is the stylus?15:26
_Monkeyit has been said that the stylus is madness15:26
lardmanso use /usr/bin  etc15:26
czrlardman, /usr/local/ is for modifications done by the local administration which fall outside package management (in FHS)15:26
czrlardman, so in this case /usr/bin would be more correct imho (when speaking about packaged software)15:26
lardmanczr: is it? I thought it was for packages added ontop of the standard ones15:27
czrlardman, well, not sure whether maemo is FHS compliant or not15:27

GeneralAntillesApp development has continued just fine for the 770, even with the N800 on the market.15:35
GeneralAntillesThey've already stated that the N800 is good for at least two more OS updates.15:35
pupnikU4so now ppl have the choice between an 800 w/o kbd and an 810 with kbd.  good news!15:36
GeneralAntillesHopefully we get the specs soon.15:36
revGeneralAntilles: has the api changed enough that that would matter? i always saw the 770 2005/OS2006/N800 binary thing as being a matter of abi or something15:36

pupnikU4rev you know that 2005-2006 switched from arm to armel, 2006 and 2007 are binary compatible tho15:38
* sciboy adds it to his vocabulary15:38
sciboyDoes any of the browsers, (opera, microb, minimo) have the option to call a url from the command-line and possibly jump directly to fullscreen mode?15:39
revpupnikU4: but are there any other substantial differences? dev-wise? other than not using the camera, say.15:40
revsciboy: i think there's a way to do it via dbus, but i can't recall15:40
revsciboy: not sure about the full-screen part, though15:40
sciboyrev, Well thing is I'm making a game for the n800 using javascript etc. all the toolbar options etc. are completely unnecessary and want to design for that extra screen real estate.15:41
revi need to upgrade/flash my N800. i tried installing microb a while back, hosed the browser, and for the last 6 weeks or so haven't been using it nearly as much, because of the non-functioning web browser. uff.15:42
pupnikU4yes some things have been changed between 2006 and 2007 but for the most part, 2006 apps seem to run on 200715:42
sciboyI still have to wait for my n800 to arrive, or even news of when it may arrive. =/15:42
revsciboy: yeah, fair enough. have you tried making a popup to ditch most of that stuff?15:43
revsciboy: or, you could just write a shell containing the HTML widget from opera, microb, etc, that'd probably be easier15:43
sciboyrev, I recall some javascript to push for fullscreen in IE, not sure about Mozilla or Opera.15:43
TPCsciboy, can't you just make a simple gecko frontend that behaves like you want it?15:43
revsciboy: i don't think there'll be a javascript means to push opera fullscreen, but possibly15:43
revyeah, do what TPC sez15:44

revsciboy: that is, doing it the way TPC and I are talking about could be done even by someone without much coding experience, with a few pointers from folks like us in the channel, or perhaps an actual dev helper15:48

blkhawk[work]well it probably will only power a usb flash stick but its cool nonntheless15:50
sciboyrev, I guess so, first though I need to know what resolution I'll be working with, all the content has to be actual-size in order to help performance, so what part of 800x480 is actually usable by the application?15:50
GeneralAntillesI don't think that's a USB A port.15:50
GeneralAntillesThe scale is wrong15:50
revi don't think that's a USB port, not one capable of histing15:51
GeneralAntillesCompare it to the port on the N800.15:51
revi think it's the same little guy on the N80015:51
GeneralAntillesI thought it was A when I first looked at it, too.15:51
revsciboy: well, if you actually had it full screen it'd be a full 800x48015:51
revsciboy: though you might want to have some sort of toolbar, giving you the ability to quit15:51
pupnikU4engadget must be lurking here15:51
sciboyrev, Can the user still switch between apps if one is fullscreen?15:52
revsciboy: yeah, but not as easily (e.g. there's no bar w/ icons)15:52
TPC[14:50:32] <blkhawk[work]> well it probably will only power a usb flash stick but its cool nonntheless15:52

GeneralAntillesIf anybody missed it.15:52
TPCwould be cool if it could power a usb 3G modem15:52
GeneralAntillesIt's not an A port15:53
GeneralAntillesSo I don't think it's going to be powering much of anything.15:53
sciboyrev, If I can use the whole screen that'd be pretty desirable since that means I have more control over the experience. But users must have the freedom to pause, quit and switch applications.15:53
TPCthey can just push the fullscreen button and get out of fullscreen mode15:54
pupnikU4'All your sdl keyboard problems magically wiped away... along with most of your personality.'15:54
sciboyrev, That reminds me, when they hit the power button, it still remains on right? Unless they go out of their way to fully power it down?15:54

guerbyI don't see why Nokia would not release new hardware for N800 as fast as they release phones: everyone knows product are replaced every 6 monthes by something better22:39
alteregoonion, depends what you mean. The platform is so open I'm sure developers could, on their own, compile root filesystem images from the latest releases. Though I imagine that OS2008 which uses main stream Gtk etc will be very slow on a 77022:39
guerbybuying one of these gadget and complaining that something better is out after a few monthes is not logical22:39
lardmanis H.264 supported on the n800?22:39

lardmanalterego: I was just thinking that the IVA is supposed to decode that22:40
alteregoThe issue here is not with the N800 it's continued OS images for the 770.22:40
guerbywumpus, software has to adapt to platform change continuously (especially in the UI world)22:41
wumpuspeople writing OS won't buy a new device every few months, so might get tired of it.. of course, they can release incrementally better devices (like the N810 seems to be)22:41
alteregoThe N800 will be supported until OS2009 I believe.22:41
