*** MikeL has quit IRC | 00:41 | |
GeneralAntilles | Try again, Tama^2. | 00:42 |
GeneralAntilles | You did something wrong. | 00:42 |
Tama^2 | from the wiki: 1 The first time I tried this on my N800 it led to continuous reboots 30-90 seconds after booting. Trying it a second time on a clean install (directly after flashing and erasing everything already on the device) worked fine. | 00:42 |
*** jackster has joined #maemo | 00:43 | |
Tama^2 | I could try again but I do not want to do a fresh install AGAIN... | 00:43 |
GeneralAntilles | Eh, you probably shouldn't have started in the first place, then. :P | 00:43 |

michele_ | I did | 00:53 |
maddler | it was working on os2007 | 00:53 |
j0tt | michele_: normal terminals support only fixed fonts ... | 00:53 |
GeneralAntilles | maddler, OS2007 was a different xterm. :P | 00:54 |
GeneralAntilles | An arguably less crappy xterm. | 00:54 |

michele_ | it's fontconfig | 01:05 |

* lcuk_2 can see and use comic sans | 01:06 | |
lcuk_2 | (os2008 though) | 01:06 |
maddler | yup... but I mean... xterm only get available fonts from the system... | 01:06 |

*** rtp has quit IRC | 01:07 | |

* lcuk_2 hates mx comic sans but its so distinctive its hard to miss | 01:08 | |
GeneralAntilles | /home/user/.fonts, lcuk_2? | 01:08 |

*** captainigloo has quit IRC | 01:11 | |

johnx | GeneralAntilles, install the recent rtcomm stuff? | 01:12 |
michele_ | it's rtcomm General | 01:12 |

GeneralAntilles | Yeah, but it booted fine just after I installed it. <_< | 01:12 |
maddler | GeneralAntilles: installed rtcom? :) | 01:12 |

GeneralAntilles | I've had 2 reboot loops. | 01:15 |
maddler | omap-wp caused to reboot as well... :( | 01:15 |
GeneralAntilles | Hardly worth the time investment for that. | 01:15 |

johnx | windows and mac can support them | 01:18 |
johnx | I guess cameras can be a problem | 01:18 |
johnx | Tama^2, did it not work for you? | 01:18 |
johnx | even if it fails all you have to do is *not turn the device off* and try again | 01:18 |
chrisak | I had suuccessfully installed rtcomm a week or 2 ago, but am confused about where I should be watching re news of updates? | 01:19 |
Tama^2 | it boots from the mmc, gets up to the boot splash, progress bar is 100 and then gets stuck there | 01:19 |
Tama^2 | until the watchdog forces a reboot | 01:19 |
*** AlphaLux has joined #maemo | 01:19 | |
johnx | hmm, how did you copy the files to the card? rsync or tar? | 01:20 |

Tama^2 | johnx: tar | 01:20 |
*** |tbb| has joined #maemo | 01:20 | |

johnx | you installed the gnu version of tar right? or did you use the builtin busybox tar? | 01:20 |
Tama^2 | not the builtin | 01:21 |
Tama^2 | I read the wiki and it mentioned it being an x86 elf bin... | 01:21 |
johnx | eh? | 01:22 |
Tama^2 | somewhere on the wiki it says not to use the builtin tar or something like taht | 01:22 |

NeoStrider_ | 1000 reais | 02:43 |
NeoStrider_ | way expensive | 02:44 |
Xamusk | whoa, I haven't found for less than 1300 | 02:44 |
NeoStrider_ | wow | 02:44 |
Xamusk | anyway, 1000 is still to much for me now | 02:44 |
NeoStrider_ | got a 770 from developer device program, about 2 years ago | 02:44 |

NeoStrider_ | but you have anything in mind for the devices? or just its coolness factor that appels to you? | 02:51 |
pupnik | i think ppl into 3d should definitely look at NeoStrider_ 's stuff :) | 02:52 |
Xamusk | NeoStrider_, first I want an eBook reader, then a schedule, then comes the coolness factor to be able to make my own apps for it (specially since it supports python), then I would like to learn usb to use the device as a controller in host mode | 02:52 |
NeoStrider_ | pupnik: not that much..Im still researching a new algorithm for my grad thesis, so things change too fast in my code =-) | 02:52 |

Xamusk | NeoStrider_, I know, but I'm picky ;) | 03:05 |
nelson | Xamusk: oh, yeah, typing portuguese with a portuguesean keyboard, that's almost like cheating. | 03:05 |
NeoStrider_ | hahahha | 03:05 |
NeoStrider_ | try coding a college work on a english kbd ;-P | 03:05 |
nelson | NeoStrider_: I thought all Brazilians spoke Spanish ..... too. | 03:05 |
NeoStrider_ | Xamusk: you use GL, right | 03:06 |
NeoStrider_ | ? | 03:06 |
Xamusk | actually, I hate brazillian keyboards... I have mine set as international english, and all the accents and special keys are in other places, but I type without looking at the keyboard | 03:06 |
NeoStrider_ | nelson: we came from the portuguese, not the spanish people ;-) | 03:06 |
elb | Xamusk: amen | 03:06 |
Xamusk | and I do speak a little spanish 3:-) | 03:06 |
elb | I mean, I don't know what a brazilian keyboard layout is | 03:06 |
nelson | NeoStrider_: yeah, but you're surrounded by people who hablan espan~ol. | 03:06 |
elb | but I have *never* seen a keyboard layout which wasn't strictly less reasonable than US int'l | 03:06 |
NeoStrider_ | elb: not that diferent...but we have ç as a key after L | 03:07 |
elb | (at least, for a programmer) | 03:07 |
nelson | elb: try typing on a french keyboard. | 03:07 |
nelson | elb: swedish is a little better, but not much. | 03:07 |
NeoStrider_ | nelson: not really...I indeed forgot the spanish I learn't at school for the lack of pratice | 03:07 |
Xamusk | my laptop came with a "brazillian" keyboard, but the darn thing skipped a key and I would have to use AltGr to type a slash, which would be awful for a linux user | 03:07 |
elb | I've only used .uk, .au, .jp, and .ru keyboards for any period of time -- they're all entirely unreasonable | 03:07 |
nelson | turkish is REALLY bad, because their 'i' is an undotted i, which is a completely different character than 0x69. | 03:08 |
elb | fortunately, if the physical keys are in reasonable places, xkb to the rescue ;-) | 03:08 |
Xamusk | nelson, what about dvorak? | 03:08 |
elb | *un*fortunately, on a lot of keyboards the Enter key is entirely ridiculous | 03:08 |
nelson | their dotted i is down below the comma key. hopeless for typing ASCII. | 03:09 |
nelson | Xamusk: not clear that dvorak is an improvement. I type pretty darned fast on a Kinesis Essential keyboard. | 03:09 |
NeoStrider_ | model M rules heheh | 03:10 |

lcuk_2 | nelson, reading your latest entry on the chordite thing where you don't see viable method for monitoring the tendons, make a note that people wear a wrist watch every day which presses on just the area you would need to monitor. | 03:21 |

lcuk_2 | it looks good by the way, i have often wondered if i could make use of some kind of chording keyboard but never had the motivation to actually build one. props to you :) | 03:22 |
nelson | lcuk_2: been playing with them for at least twenty years now. | 03:23 |
nelson | lcuk_2: they're specialized thingies, so you need the right circumstances to justify the learning curve. | 03:24 |
lcuk_2 | i dont doubt it. i put it on the same curve as dvorak. looks impossible at first and you wonder how people could swap, but once you make the jump you wonder how you coped before. (still qwerty for myself though..) | 03:25 |

nelson | yup. | 03:31 |
Xamusk | first because I have never seen one selling around here, then I use a laptop and I don't like putting sticks in keyboards, and last, everyone would be different, so I would still have to retain my typing skills to use other's computers | 03:31 |

lcuk_2 | i tried to configure it, but it would not let me adjust it how i wanted | 03:46 |
johnx | I got used to grafiti (the old one) on my visor, but since then I haven't bothered | 03:46 |
johnx | and learning how to use grafiti actually did make my normal handwriting worse | 03:48 |
lcuk_2 | i wanted to map "t" to how i type it, but it kept mapping it as "L". i unticked all variations of "L" and tried to teach it "t" and it told me it was too close to "L" even though i unmapped it. | 03:48 |
lcuk_2 | i havent been back since | 03:48 |
* lcuk_2 crosses his "t" at end of word but done as a curve, but draws l's as a straight line. | 03:49 | |
johnx | I bet I could teach it the original grafiti but my touch screen kind of acts up and I don't have a stylus for it anyways :/ | 03:50 |
Esworp | Has there ever been any serious work towards lefty-ifying the n800? | 03:50 |
johnx | Esworp, you mean hardware or software? | 03:51 |
Esworp | Anything. | 03:51 |
*** Raistl|n has joined #Maemo | 03:51 | |
johnx | not that I've heard | 03:51 |
Esworp | :/ | 03:51 |
lcuk_2 | Esworp, we are lefties in a right handed world. | 03:52 |
johnx | I'm a righty but I end up just using my thumbs on the screen | 03:52 |
lcuk_2 | i want scrollbars over on the left and it would be a bodgy but would help with lots of things | 03:52 |
Esworp | It'd be nice to put the left side bar on the right, etc. | 03:53 |
johnx | I saw a gtk theme that did that actually | 03:53 |
lcuk_2 | thats not such a problem for me - i like it where it is | 03:53 |
johnx | a looooong time ago | 03:53 |
lcuk_2 | john there were problems with it, i think the bug report is still open regarding it | 03:53 |
johnx | for maemo? or you mean gtkstep? | 03:54 |
lcuk_2 | its gotta lot of parameters mainly related to bidi printing i think | 03:54 |
*** greentux_ has joined #maemo | 03:54 | |
lcuk_2 | gtk in general i tihnk | 03:54 |
johnx | this was for gtk 1.x | 03:54 |
johnx | so maybe the unicode stuff added in gtk 2.x made things harder | 03:54 |
lcuk_2 | yer it automatically gets switched with the right 2 left script | 03:55 |
lcuk_2 | so what do you do in this instance? switch the switch? | 03:55 |

Luria | but admittedly are huge | 11:04 |
johnx | yeah | 11:04 |
johnx | it's just such a good standard though | 11:04 |

*** L0cutus has joined #maemo | 11:05 | |
Luria | thats a control chip issue, but yeah | 11:05 |
johnx | the old CF standard now has 32GB cards that will work fine in your laptop from 1993 | 11:05 |
Luria | i loved that you can just adapt a cf to take the place of a real hdd | 11:06 |
johnx | and if they eventually stop making higher capacity CF cards we can all just buy CF-to-SDHC adapters and not even notice the difference | 11:07 |
Luria | not going to happen any time soon | 11:07 |

*** AD-N770 has joined #maemo | 11:25 | |
liri | I'm talking about the alternatives rather than the obvious c+gtk | 11:26 |
inz | You can do also Gtk+/C ;) | 11:26 |
inz | And there's quite a bunch of python programs out there too | 11:26 |
liri | I read about pygtk a bit, would that run good? | 11:28 |
liri | I read on some talkbacks that it was somewhat slow/heavy | 11:29 |
inz | As far as I've understood, startup is the real problem | 11:29 |
inz | After that they should be quite smooth | 11:29 |
liri | ahh | 11:29 |
Blafasel | I'm still interested in java/mono for me | 11:30 |
liri | are there different combinations of python and gtk, I think that pygtk is one development platform but there are others, no? | 11:30 |
Blafasel | But the mono stuff seems to be outdated. At least the stuff on their webpage is. | 11:30 |
inz | liri, pymaemo is just extension of pygtk | 11:30 |
liri | ahh ok | 11:31 |
inz | liri, and on maemo you shouldn't use anything that is not gtk based (if possible) | 11:31 |
liri | I'll search maemo website for some info on starting out with pygtk | 11:31 |
liri | java is somewhat interesting also, would that run good? | 11:31 |
Tama^2 | great, I have this: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2637 | 11:32 |
Tama^2 | -_- | 11:32 |
inz | liri, http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/ is the homepage of pymaemo | 11:32 |

liri | thanks inz | 11:33 |
Veggen | Tama: Oh, I don't bother with grammar etc :) I learn by speaking, only. | 11:34 |
Veggen | Tama: Actually, travelling within italy, outside the mass-tourism places, you pretty much have to learn italian. | 11:34 |
Veggen | (at least a bit) | 11:34 |

johnx | they're close enough that it doesn't matter | 12:57 |
johnx | but it will mess with your dependencies | 12:57 |
johnx | but now that you've cloned to SD card it's worth a shot | 12:57 |
johnx | just rsync a backup onto your computer, add the repos and if it fails, restore from backup | 12:58 |

wikki | I've got a nokia N800 that I got from someone | 13:10 |
johnx | Tama^2, http://pastebin.ca/868318 there is my complete sources.list | 13:10 |
Khertan | wikki> rm -rf /home/user should work ... but ll delete other things :) | 13:10 |
Tama^2 | lol | 13:10 |
johnx | wikki, don't do what Khertan said :P | 13:10 |
Tama^2 | thanks johnx | 13:10 |
wikki | yes | 13:10 |
wikki | I wasn't going to do that | 13:10 |
johnx | Tama^2, keep in mind many repositories listed in their contradict each other | 13:11 |
johnx | wikki, just making sure :) | 13:11 |
wikki | is there a specific directory under there that I can delete though? | 13:11 |
Khertan | if i remember in /home/user/ there is a rep nammed email | 13:11 |
wikki | where are the settings for the email stored? | 13:11 |
Khertan | or should be in /home/user/application | 13:11 |
michele_ | ~user/apps/email | 13:11 |
Tama^2 | email accounts may be in gconf I suspect | 13:11 |
johnx | wikki, I honestly don't know. You could just reflash if you don't have any of your stuff on their yet | 13:12 |
johnx | give you a fresh start and get you up to the latest software version | 13:12 |
johnx | anyways | 13:12 |
johnx | I am afk for a while | 13:12 |
Khertan | on os2007 it wasn't in gconf | 13:13 |
Khertan | but don't know for os2008 | 13:13 |
Tama^2 | gconftool -R / | grep gmail | 13:13 |

jott | johnx: how do you run it currently? stock kernel + modified initfs and then debian root? | 15:08 |
johnx | I'm using fanoush's modified initfs | 15:09 |
johnx | so I have a white screen that says "Booting from int-sd . . ." | 15:09 |
johnx | (stock kernel -or- one of my own slightly modified kernels) + fanoush's initfs + debian armel on sd | 15:10 |

*** aloisiojr has joined #maemo | 15:11 | |
*** jackster has joined #maemo | 15:11 | |
johnx | it's really weird, because one time I booted and the framebuffer console I added to the kernel actually displayed one line of text on a black background | 15:11 |
jott | maybe there is something else called in the os2008 root to initialize the framebuffer.. | 15:11 |
johnx | I was thinking that | 15:12 |
johnx | I'm digging through the init scripts now :/ | 15:12 |
johnx | I just figured if someone had the inside story on this ... | 15:12 |
johnx | I should really see how the OE/Poky guys do this and copy them as much as I can | 15:12 |
johnx | it's bound to be more straightforward | 15:12 |

johnx | Blafasel, put maemo and libhildon on it | 15:15 |
johnx | but be able to use any package I want without all sorts of compiling | 15:15 |
*** matt_c has quit IRC | 15:15 | |
johnx | maybe I'll use matchbox panel instead of the default desktop. | 15:15 |
Blafasel | Ah, so you want to replace the underlying base system, but still stick to the UI? | 15:15 |
johnx | dunno yet | 15:16 |
johnx | I like the look of it for the most part, but I think I might prefer matchbox desktop for launching things | 15:16 |

*** Ryback_ has joined #maemo | 15:17 | |
johnx | jott, interesting that you should mention runlevels. Debian can't even figure out what runlevel it's *in* | 15:18 |
wikki | :) | 15:18 |
johnx | but it looks like all the runlevel 2 stuff is running (or tried to run | 15:18 |

johnx | thats good to know | 15:25 |
Blafasel | ok | 15:25 |
jott | johnx: hmm have you /tmp/dsmesock in your debian root? | 15:25 |
jott | or do like mount -n -o bind /mnt/initfs/tmp /tmp | 15:26 |
johnx | my tmp is empty | 15:26 |
jott | maybe you need the dsmesock!? | 15:26 |
jott | (for X that is) | 15:26 |
johnx | I'll give that a shot | 15:26 |
jott | just blind guess though... | 15:27 |
johnx | I admit I didn't even think about that | 15:27 |
johnx | actually, looks like they're both empty | 15:27 |
jott | hmm somewhere the socket must be created ;) | 15:28 |
johnx | could that really prevent anything from just writing to the fb and getting displayed on screen? | 15:29 |
johnx | is there somewhere I can read up on what dsme is responsible for? | 15:29 |
*** alterego has joined #maemo | 15:29 | |

johnx | heh...ran lsof and it looks like dsme still has /tmp/dsmesock held open...I just have no idea what happened to it | 15:31 |
jott | but your /mnt/initfs/tmp is also empty?! this should not be i gues.. | 15:31 |

*** maddler has quit IRC | 16:16 | |

pupnik | I still like my idea of replacement hardcovers with gaming controls on the sides | 17:08 |

liri | to start developing in py-gtk for n800 I don't need to mess around with scratchbox but rather simply apt-get python-gtk* and when I'm done I'll just cross-compile later and transfer to the n800 right? | 17:10 |
|tbb| | damn i dunno where my microusb cable is and got a reboot loop. have about 3 miniusb cable here but no microusb, grrr | 17:11 |
pupnik | liri: you don't need to compile with python | 17:11 |
lophyte | liri, if you're developing in python, there's no cross-compiling involved | 17:11 |
Tak | shouldn't need to cross-compile anything with...damn | 17:11 |
liri | right, but not even the gui? | 17:11 |
lophyte | no | 17:11 |
*** jprieur has quit IRC | 17:11 | |
lophyte | everything you write in python will run on your PC and your n800 without any changes | 17:12 |
lophyte | including pygtk stuff | 17:12 |
liri | haven't done gtk before... I'm familiar with qt where the interface is different | 17:12 |
liri | nice | 17:12 |
liri | so I can just install pygtk on my desktop and mess around freely. | 17:12 |
|tbb| | any other way to prevent n810 from reboot loop without cable and kill watch dog thing | 17:12 |
liri | lophyte: what about pymaemo? | 17:13 |
johnx | jott, well I just built the wireless driver with that patch | 17:13 |
johnx | I'll copy the modules over and see what happens O_o | 17:13 |
lophyte | liri, pymaemo just won't work on your PC | 17:14 |

GeneralAntilles | iTunes 6. ;) | 17:26 |
fysa | that's what I was afraid of. ;) | 17:26 |
GeneralAntilles | EyeConnect works well for me. | 17:27 |
fysa | How about Firefly? | 17:27 |
fysa | hmm. | 17:27 |
fysa | Can EyeConnect read iTunes database? | 17:27 |
fysa | I really just want the playlists. | 17:28 |
* pupnik kicks itunes in the nads | 17:28 | |
fysa | and references. | 17:28 |
fysa | You know.. | 17:28 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah, does playlists just fine. | 17:28 |
fysa | somebody did make an iTunes -> MythMusic playlist synchronizer. | 17:29 |
GeneralAntilles | Mildly expensive, though. | 17:29 |
fysa | If I could pull apart the iTunes database exporter, then filter the results with a regexp that converted each song to a URL link, it could be possible to make it work with mediaserv.. | 17:30 |
GeneralAntilles | I'm surprised Canola doesn't support iTunes 7 yet. | 17:30 |
maddler | GeneralAntilles: just realized your really look like an italian comic actor :) | 17:30 |
GeneralAntilles | fysa, there's always mpd if you just want playback from the computer. | 17:30 |
GeneralAntilles | Sssh, maddler, I'm in hiding in the US. | 17:31 |
maddler | GeneralAntilles: lol! :D | 17:31 |
GeneralAntilles | Seriously, though, really? Which one? | 17:31 |
fysa | With mpd, you control from the computer and it plays on the IT (remote speakers)? | 17:31 |
maddler | GeneralAntilles: he's called Rubens | 17:31 |
johnx | depends on where mpd is running | 17:32 |
GeneralAntilles | Basically turns the N800 into a remote control for the computer. | 17:32 |
maddler | GeneralAntilles: kinda demential... but one of my favs :) | 17:32 |

*** bmidgley_ has joined #maemo | 17:49 | |

*** straind has quit IRC | 17:52 | |

bmidgley_ | johnx I've been working on the encoder... same software runs in 2% cpu on pxa270 | 18:07 |
johnx | I'll be able to prove it soon now that I have a debian env to test a2dp away from some of the brain damaged nokia stuff | 18:07 |
bmidgley_ | and over 20% on omap | 18:08 |
johnx | bmidgley, that's a hell of a lot better than I see locally on either hardware, so where's the link? | 18:08 |

johnx | zoran, quick version: make a debian chroot on an ext2/3 formatted sd card, get boot from sd working with fanoush's initfs, boot | 18:19 |
johnx | of course at that point you tablet will just sit there | 18:19 |

*** mankod has joined #maemo | 18:20 | |
VRe | I think the best thing in long run with the debian running is that the cleanup and QA which is done for the packages - maemo really needs that | 18:20 |

GeneralAntilles | http://zeus.rm-fr.net/~skyhusker/xchat-chinook-betas/ | 20:22 |
lcuk_2 | you cant use the half sized instructions with vfp so the kernel ends up much larger compiled if you use it | 20:22 |
lcuk_2 | ^i think anyway | 20:23 |
jacques-work | half sized instructions == thumb ? | 20:23 |
lardman | lcuk_2: that was my understanding, yes | 20:23 |
lcuk_2 | yer | 20:23 |
lcuk_2 | didnt know the technical name ;) | 20:23 |
lardman | not the kernel presumably as you'd not use floating point there | 20:23 |
jacques-work | yeah I was thinking same thing | 20:23 |
lardman | but the rest of the system | 20:23 |
jacques-work | no FP in kernel | 20:23 |

t_s_o | hey thoughtfix, any more info on that limepc? | 20:24 |
jacques-work | heh | 20:24 |
thoughtfix | Haha | 20:25 |
lardman | I wonder if that's a limitation of GCC, it should be possible to switch to and from Thumb; shouldn't it? | 20:25 |
thoughtfix | t_s_o: I am waiting for an Email back from their VP in America | 20:25 |
lardman | i.e. use Thumb most of the time then switch to normal mode for vfp stuff | 20:25 |
thoughtfix | He's a ThoughtFix fan - watched my "how to release Linux devices" coffee with thoughtfix episode | 20:25 |
jacques-work | lardman, I dunno, the thumb / VFP limitation sounds vaguely familiar to me | 20:25 |
*** maddler810 has joined #maemo | 20:25 | |
lcuk_2 | lard, you would have thought so, but in the document i was reading i think that brings about its own problems | 20:25 |
lardman | fair enough, I've not read the docs in a while | 20:26 |
jacques-work | I guess in the general case, the space savings were worth the lower performance FP | 20:26 |
*** Mousey has quit IRC | 20:26 | |
lardman | All you need to do it compile libm for vfp then link against that, then you can do fast maths if you so desire and ignore the rest of the system | 20:26 |
lardman | yes, exactly | 20:26 |
lcuk_2 | hmmmm...... "It is possible to dynamically switch between the two instruction-sets, thus gaining the advantages of both." http://www.simplemachines.it/doc/ARM_COMBO_ap01.html | 20:27 |
*** mallum has quit IRC | 20:27 | |
lardman | yes, I thought so, perhaps a GCC limitation then | 20:27 |
jacques-work | hmm, "possible" could mean lots of things ;-) | 20:27 |
lardman | :) | 20:27 |
lcuk_2 | The GNUPro compilers are able to produce code for both the ARM and Thumb instruction sets, but only at a file level of granularity. Thus the programmer can choose whether individual functions should be encoded as either ARM or Thumb instructions, but they cannot specify that specific parts of a function should be ARM or Thumb. | 20:27 |
*** slomo has joined #maemo | 20:28 | |
ph|ber | ahh! | 20:28 |

*** T][s][o has joined #maemo | 20:29 | |
T][s][o | there we go | 20:29 |
T][s][o | thanks for the link GeneralAntilles | 20:29 |
kulve | switching between thumb and non-thumb is slow on armv6 | 20:29 |
lardman | lcuk_2: so does file level mean complied file level or object file level? | 20:30 |
lardman | s/compiled/end binary | 20:30 |
lardman | kulve: ah, well that will be the kicker then | 20:30 |
lcuk_2 | it says the gnupro toolkit includes 2 seperate compilers which produce the different instruction sets, so i would say per resultant object file | 20:30 |
lardman | assuming they can then be linked together that is | 20:31 |
maddler810 | heya lardman... how is your course going? | 20:31 |
T][s][o | one annoying thing about this keyboard is the placement of the enter key. i keep hitting it when im going for right shift... | 20:31 |
lcuk_2 | When the assembled object files are linked together the linker will generate special code to switch between the two instruction sets whenever a call is made from an ARM function to a Thumb function or vice versa. | 20:31 |
lardman | maddler810: not too bad thanks | 20:31 |

LinuxCode | is that hildon also takes some time to build the appz list in the menu | 21:45 |
LinuxCode | pupnik, there has to be a full list somewhere | 21:45 |
LinuxCode | ;-D | 21:45 |
Tak | hmm...not enough to make it 4x | 21:45 |
*** guardian has joined #maemo | 21:46 | |
fysa | SNES is 256x224 (most games) to 512x448 | 21:46 |
* LinuxCode checks remo stuff on site | 21:46 | |
GNUton | Hi | 21:46 |
elb | 512x448 is higher resolution than PAL can actually display | 21:46 |
elb | err, than NTSC can actually display, sorry | 21:47 |
elb | PAL gets closer | 21:47 |
fysa | I believe you would lose some in overscan/transmission/conversion.. | 21:47 |
fysa | but I believe that res is rather rare | 21:47 |
*** lmoura has quit IRC | 21:47 | |
elb | overscan is only relevant for width, and that's more height than NTSC can render | 21:47 |
GNUton | have someone compiled snes emulator for maemo? | 21:48 |
fysa | doesn't mean the pixels aren't there :) | 21:48 |
fysa | you just can't see them ;) | 21:48 |
elb | but, it likely samples from al arger resolution than it sends out on its video signal | 21:48 |
elb | that's not an uncommon trick | 21:48 |
* fysa used an Amiga 500 on a regular TV at one point.. | 21:48 | |
fysa | the horrors of video signals | 21:49 |
elb | TVs are really crappy | 21:49 |
elb | not only are they low resolution, but they don't actually have pixels | 21:50 |
Tak | GNUton: pupnik built snes9x, but it was pretty slow | 21:50 |
fysa | is there an svn with it? | 21:50 |
fysa | or was that just raw snes9x compiled in sb? | 21:50 |
* lardman hates compact keyboards, why change the position of Insert, delete, home, end, etc. AArrrgh! | 21:51 | |
thoughtfix | Okay ... I need developer and community advice | 21:52 |
lardman | fire away | 21:52 |
unique311 | the answer is yes | 21:52 |
Tak | Double yes. | 21:52 |
fysa | only if nobody catches you | 21:52 |
fysa | alleys are the best | 21:52 |
thoughtfix | Apparently, as a face of the community, I've been invited to speak at Openbossa in Brazil | 21:52 |
fysa | have you set your rate? | 21:53 |
unique311 | Tak, having issues with xmaeme, for some reason i have a version that doesn't allow me to choose neogeo bios folder. | 21:53 |
unique311 | same issue i had before. | 21:53 |
unique311 | but i forgot how i got pass it. | 21:53 |
GNUton | Tak: k | 21:54 |
thoughtfix | Well | 21:54 |
thoughtfix | I have three potential topics that are mostly-written editorials | 21:54 |
thoughtfix | that could easily become lectures to developers | 21:54 |
thoughtfix | "Don't Fear the Penguin" - about overcoming non-geeks' fear of Linux devices | 21:55 |
thoughtfix | "The Other Pocket" - making a case for secondary (non-phone) devices. | 21:55 |
thoughtfix | "Noise to Signal" on strategies for learning from community feedback without wasting time | 21:55 |
unique311 | How about "The NIT motherf'n rocks....Go get one." | 21:56 |
dhd | "the other pocket" is a nice one... since one of the common complaints about the iPhone is that it isn't a very good phone | 21:56 |
lardman | I'd not do #1, it's quite a popular topic | 21:56 |
Tak | unique311: yeah, it's because os2008 doesn't have a GtkFileChooserButton | 21:56 |
lardman | i.e. there seem to be lots of articles about it | 21:57 |
unique311 | Tak, i got it to work last time. | 21:57 |
fysa | I would do #1 twice, but targetted at the people in charge of making SDKs and buildkits because the developers don't care. ;) | 21:57 |
fysa | they just want to compile it and get it working. | 21:57 |
lardman | in which case you need to target the tutorial writers | 21:57 |
unique311 | by uninstalling it, rebooting the device and then installing xmaeme again | 21:57 |
unique311 | hope it works | 21:58 |
fysa | the SDK should come with instructions on branding something properly -- down to the little nuances of icon selection | 21:58 |
fysa | and (re)naming a package to suit the general public | 21:58 |
Tak | unique311: I'm sending a prerelease of the next xmaeme | 21:58 |
unique311 | cool | 21:58 |
unique311 | thanks | 21:58 |
Tak | np | 21:58 |
lardman | fysa: that is debian packaging, I have troubles with that | 21:58 |
elb | thoughtfix: I'd personally be interested in noise to signal | 21:58 |
fysa | package manager needs a checkbox for 'advanced mode' | 21:59 |
Tak | you'll be the first one to try it on os2008 since I've ported to vala ;-) | 21:59 |
elb | though I'm not going to be at any Brazilian conferences any time soon ;-) | 21:59 |
fysa | turn it off, you see friendly names (already in most debs!) | 21:59 |
lardman | fysa: or specifically for Maemo? | 21:59 |
*** sbaturzio has joined #maemo | 21:59 | |
fysa | turn it on, you see real names | 21:59 |
unique311 | thoughtfix, go with #4 | 21:59 |
fysa | many environments are affected | 21:59 |
fysa | as a developer, my #1 goal is to write myself out of a job. | 21:59 |
thoughtfix | .... 4? | 22:00 |
unique311 | How about "The NIT motherf'n rocks....Go get one." 4 | 22:00 |
fysa | make it once, make it right, make it usable by everyone, release it and move on. | 22:01 |
fysa | the hildon taskbar full of generic 'tool' icons is no fun | 22:01 |
*** xbmodder_ has joined #maemo | 22:01 | |
thoughtfix | rofl | 22:02 |
thoughtfix | I think noise-to-signal is the preferred | 22:02 |
pupnik | netcatting a tgz over wep to N810 with kingston 4gb miniSDHC gives me about 800kB/s | 22:02 |
unique311 | Tak, thanks. | 22:02 |
unique311 | option is there now. | 22:02 |
fysa | how much CPU is wasted on WPA-PSK encryption? | 22:03 |
fysa | maybe that's why nfs is so cpu hungry. | 22:03 |
alterego | Heh | 22:03 |
glass | hehe | 22:03 |
lardman | does the omap have wpa-psk helper hw? | 22:04 |
fysa | pupnik is closest to testing ;) | 22:04 |
fysa | he already has the netcat line in his history | 22:04 |
pupnik | thoughtfix: good subjects btw. no preferences here | 22:04 |
GeneralAntilles | I like noise-to-signal, but all of them sound really interesting. | 22:05 |
elb | thoughtfix: I think "noise to signal" has the highest usefulness content to other projects, if that's part of the goal :-) | 22:05 |
elb | I know Pidgin experiences a very low S:N ratio in its user feedback | 22:05 |
pupnik | if the developers there are from non-tablet camps, the 2nd topic could be worthwhile also | 22:06 |
GeneralAntilles | Yeah, #2 or #3 depending on the audience. | 22:06 |
thoughtfix | Thanks | 22:07 |
thoughtfix | :D | 22:07 |
pupnik | cause i think it's a subject missed by some people who like portable *nix... the advantages of a seperate tablet computery thing instead of packing all functions onto a phone | 22:07 |
thoughtfix | I've been sort of a filter for a number of developers | 22:07 |
thoughtfix | They send me stuff they're working on | 22:07 |
thoughtfix | I demo it and get feedback | 22:07 |
elb | yeah, I had a run-in with some dude a while back who had this GIANT wonder-phone thing, that was a pocket computer, telephone, camera, etc. | 22:07 |
elb | this was in like 2004, so it was truly giant | 22:07 |
thoughtfix | Then distill the crap out of the feedback and send it back | 22:07 |
elb | and I said something about not being impressed with the concept, and he started to make fun of me, talking about "bat belts" and crap ... I just shook my head and walked away | 22:08 |
lcuk_2 | NEVER walk away from batman | 22:08 |
unique311 | thoughtfix, how about, "Motherfuck'n Noise-to-signal" on Motherfuck'n strategies for Motherfuck'n learning from community Motherfuck'n feedback without Motherfuck'n wasting Motherfucki'n time. | 22:08 |
fysa | haha | 22:08 |

fysa | but how good is it for ssh given the lack of proper keys? | 22:33 |
Tak | fysa: nah, I gave my n800 to my fiancee | 22:33 |
pupnik | you can adapt the keyboard to include tab and | etc | 22:33 |
*** suihkulokki has left #maemo | 22:33 | |
fysa | do they include a bottle of Testors model paint? :) | 22:33 |
lcuk_2 | fysa, since i only ssh into the device its not that much of a biggy. i do miss the tab key though, but thats down to dev language choice | 22:34 |
Tak | anybody using pyboy/gnuboy ? | 22:34 |
fysa | how is your wpm compared to the N800 vkb? | 22:34 |
fysa | (thumb) | 22:34 |
pupnik | most of the time i use a tablet while sitting, so the BT keyboard is preferable to builtin thumbboard then | 22:34 |
pupnik | but it's fun to shell/vi while walking about too. just somewhat dangerous | 22:35 |
|tbb| | anyone knows something about the njoy rgb format nokia uses for led flashing on n810? | 22:35 |
lcuk_2 | pup, have you tried typing whilst lay on your back with the builtin kb? | 22:35 |
pupnik | no but that would be another good use case | 22:35 |

Veggen | fysa: You can get used to a keyboard. Even the n810 keyboard. | 22:37 |
Veggen | I'm considering trying to use my n810 as my exclusive home machine for a week, to force myself to adjust and learn to use the keyboard :) | 22:38 |
fysa | yeah, I can imagine so. I would love to wait for a device with better CPU (just got the N800 a few months before the N810 was released), but I'm finding it hard. | 22:38 |
GeneralAntilles | Heck, I'm used to the N800's keyboard. | 22:38 |

*** DaniloCesar has quit IRC | 22:38 | |
pupnik | ./configure : 'maybe you need to recompile python with --shared-libs' | 22:39 |

fysa | and KDE/X11 make much more sense with the slide-out keyboard. | 22:39 |
GeneralAntilles | fysa, wait for the N900. :P | 22:39 |
Veggen | I used my n800 exclusively for a week travel including a conference. It's quite usable if you just try it for a while. | 22:39 |
fysa | do you know something I don't? :) | 22:39 |
fysa | yes, it's excellent for taking notes. | 22:40 |
fysa | using the Apple bluetooth keyboard.. | 22:40 |
Veggen | GA: I can never manage to wait. That's why I have all three of them (770, n800 and n810) ;) | 22:40 |
Veggen | And will end up with the n900 when it comes, surely.. | 22:40 |
Tama^2 | I prefer n800 with BT keyboard | 22:40 |
fysa | there was no outlet near me at the desk, so at one point I moved the N800 into the corner of the room at an outlet, set the font size to 28pt and kept taking notes as normal.. | 22:40 |

lcuk_2 | the lower one if i remember rightly | 22:54 |

* lcuk_2 is going to fancydress party in a couple of weeks as neo | 22:58 | |
* lcuk_2 needs guns. lots of guns | 22:58 | |
Veggen | I said that I was just as good at that as her. "I take *well* care of which t-shirt I use in the meetings. *always*" | 22:58 |
czr | lcuk_2, and a angry and malnourished looking posse | 22:59 |
thoughtfix | Hahaha | 22:59 |
jott | czr: hehe.. yeah or patch readline and remove those bloat features ;) | 22:59 |
Tama^2 | Veggen: s your work env very formal? | 22:59 |
thoughtfix | Leather coat? | 22:59 |
Veggen | Tama: Nah. | 22:59 |
czr | lcuk_2, do they have a lot of marble in the place you're going? otherwise it's going to be boring | 22:59 |
* lcuk_2 wears t shirt and jeans to work | 22:59 | |
lcuk_2 | its on an army base | 22:59 |
Veggen | Not really. But it happens that I end up in meetings which are more formal than othetrs. | 22:59 |
czr | that works :-) | 22:59 |
lcuk_2 | actually, best not take a gun | 22:59 |
lcuk_2 | crap | 23:00 |
czr | lcuk_2, yeah, take a helicopter. | 23:00 |
lcuk_2 | plan b: austin powers | 23:00 |
czr | a great bush of breast hair? | 23:00 |
Veggen | Tama: I actually work with system integration for banking environments, really. Much projects etc. | 23:00 |
Veggen | Tama: Sometimes, I end up in meeting with managers pretty high in the hierarchy of large banks. | 23:01 |
lcuk_2 | veggen, i hope you have a formal black tshirt | 23:01 |
Veggen | Tama: I find the strategy of always wearing a nerdy t-shirt is highly successfull. | 23:01 |
czr | Veggen, you wear your "I read your email." T-shirt to those? | 23:01 |
czr | I used to have a bumper sticker of that on my laptop. it got pretty good reception at formal project meetings | 23:02 |
Veggen | czr: I have a "happy hacking" GNU t-shirt. That's one of my favourites. | 23:02 |
czr | heh | 23:02 |
Veggen | czr: strategy works. Everyone thinks I know a lot, because there can't be another reason why they drag me to the meeting. | 23:03 |
Tama^2 | Veggen: why highly succesful? (me thinks of a dilbert comic that fits...) | 23:03 |
czr | Veggen, maybe they drag you just into the meetings in order to be amused and entertained? | 23:03 |
czr | I used to feel like that when I was working in the financial sector | 23:03 |
*** sladen has quit IRC | 23:03 | |
czr | our project manager was a complete boot. | 23:04 |
*** mk8 has joined #maemo | 23:04 | |
Veggen | czr: I once had a project manager without technical understanding *whatsoever*. And he was in a different city than those of us doing the technical stuff. | 23:04 |
czr | Veggen, my boot lived in the same city | 23:05 |
czr | otherwise exactly same qualifications. | 23:05 |
lcuk_2 | isnt that the definition of project manager | 23:05 |
Veggen | czr: He'd call me, and ask me to explain what I was doing. And then he'd ask me to explain what I'd just told him. And even that was beyond him. | 23:05 |
lcuk_2 | they arent paid to know the inner workings. | 23:05 |
czr | I've worked with semi-good ones as well.. although hmm.. | 23:05 |
Veggen | czr: Until I finally told him "I don't have time for this anymore. I have to get some work done." | 23:05 |
czr | lcuk_2, it would be nice if they would have at least some idea about the project and how things can be done (and how they cannot be done) | 23:06 |
lcuk_2 | if a manager gets caught up in the inner workings then they arent managing you properly | 23:06 |
Veggen | It'd usually take around 30 seconds, and he'd call up the guy next to me, asking *the exact same questions*. | 23:06 |
czr | Veggen, he wanted to feel that he participated! | 23:06 |
Veggen | lcuk: agreed :) | 23:06 |
*** rtp has quit IRC | 23:06 | |
czr | lcuk_2, I don't think we're talking about inner workings here exactly. | 23:06 |
*** zodman has quit IRC | 23:06 | |
*** rtp has joined #maemo | 23:06 | |
*** blassey has joined #maemo | 23:06 | |
Tak | a project manager should be able to understand the properties of a technical project in order to properly manage it | 23:07 |
Veggen | czr: I also once had a boss who got nervous when things were critical, and always asking a and bugging us. He was away for a customer meeting in another city, and I'd promised I'd be done with quite a bit of work after that day... | 23:07 |
Tak | somebody who thinks software is magic that can do anything without limits is not going to be a good project manager | 23:08 |
lcuk_2 | i do agree czr - there is a difference between knowing something can be done (from experience, hands on or prior projects) and knowing nothing | 23:08 |
Veggen | czr: But then he called me every half hour, asking for status: It was getting on my nerves by an hour after lunch, so when he asked "Now, you'll be ready, right?" | 23:08 |
* czr nods | 23:08 | |
Veggen | czr: so I answered him "No. I won't. Not unless you hang up *now*, and don't call me again. *ever*" | 23:08 |
czr | heh | 23:09 |
*** Cymor-Work has joined #maemo | 23:09 | |

LinuxCode | thanks | 23:09 |
lcuk_2 | typo or a big mess? | 23:10 |
czr | most of people I've worked for just politely get out of my way. if they're good, they'll know which questions they should ask me for feedback and that if I can't provide a "no/yes" answer, it's a good thing.. | 23:10 |

*** Vulcanis has quit IRC | 23:12 | |

czr | ahh. no :-) | 23:12 |
czr | robtaylor, I'm using the same design process as the maemo team, can you blame me? | 23:13 |
robtaylor | What the world needs is *real* extreme programming | 23:13 |
robtaylor | czr: heh | 23:13 |
mgedmin | there's extreme ironing | 23:13 |
mgedmin | which is what lcuk already mentioned... | 23:14 |
lcuk_2 | robtaylor, entirely plausible with the 810 | 23:14 |
robtaylor | lcuk_2: heh, damn right :) | 23:14 |
mgedmin | and linuxcode | 23:14 |
czr | what about base jumping and ironing? | 23:14 |
czr | does that count? | 23:14 |
mgedmin | the strategy of reading irc logs very fast by skipping 75% is not working that well... | 23:14 |

lcuk_2 | it depends if you are ironing your parachute | 23:15 |
robtaylor | The Nokia Extreme Programming Championship - "Nokia, Breaking People" | 23:15 |
Tama^2 | any ironing not done by mum is by definition extreme | 23:15 |
lcuk_2 | lol | 23:15 |
czr | mgedmin, you should make a tool that combines new lines by skipping 3/4 of words but by keeping them otherwise intact | 23:15 |
lcuk_2 | i can iron anything as long as it is towel shaped | 23:15 |
mgedmin | step 1: run a busy loop on your N800 to get it really hot | 23:15 |
*** jackster has quit IRC | 23:15 | |
czr | hah Tama^2 | 23:15 |
mgedmin | step 2: apply it to a shirt | 23:15 |
mgedmin | czr: why words? characters | 23:15 |
czr | one of my exes got really mad at me once when I noted her that she completely didn't iron my shirt correctly. | 23:15 |
czr | well. she didn't iron my stuff afterwards.. | 23:15 |
robtaylor | mgedmin: step 3: buy a new N800? | 23:16 |
Veggen | heh. I'm replacing a few servers that 1.5 million customer goes through, tonight. Sort of extreme sysadmining. I didn't know when I got to work today that I had to do it tonight, but looking at the numbers, I said "I can't guarantee *anything* about tomorrow. I advice doing it today." | 23:16 |
czr | mgedmin, hmm. only take the first and last letter of each word? | 23:16 |
mgedmin | robtaylor: (a N810 actually... "but I have to upgrade, the old one doesn't work any more" | 23:16 |

Veggen | there are situations where patents are good, but software is not one of them. | 23:25 |
czr | yeah. basmati rice is one of those situations. | 23:25 |
Veggen | Or alternatively, a software patent could last for 5 years. That'd be a long enough duration. | 23:25 |
elb | or at least, the current patent terms are ridiculous | 23:25 |
Tak | I disagree that there are any situations anymore where patents are good | 23:25 |
* czr agrees with tak | 23:25 | |
Tama^2 | I tend to agree with tak | 23:25 |
elb | then you don't understand patents | 23:25 |
*** Vulcanis has joined #maemo | 23:25 | |
Tak | or perhaps you don't understand reality | 23:26 |
elb | in manufacturing processes, they are still very powerful | 23:26 |
Tama^2 | lol | 23:26 |
elb | oh, I do | 23:26 |
czr | it's not possible to develop a system which wouldn't be molested by patent lawyers | 23:26 |
*** eber_ has quit IRC | 23:26 | |
Tak | powerful != good | 23:26 |
elb | and I'm informed on more than just software | 23:26 |
czr | so it's just better to get rid of the whole crap completely. | 23:26 |
elb | powerful for the *public* | 23:26 |
elb | not for the patent owners | 23:26 |
Veggen | Tak: Maybe it could be solved other ways. Or alternatively, patent abuse should actually be made illegal. | 23:26 |
elb | trade secrets are worse than patents | 23:26 |
elb | in many ways | 23:26 |
lcuk_2 | its not possible to develop ANYTHING which can't be molested my lawyers | 23:26 |
czr | Veggen, more lawyers? whee. | 23:26 |
czr | lcuk_2, pink fur. | 23:26 |
elb | patent terms are out of hand; 17 years made a lot of sense during the industrial revolution, but today it's multiple product cycles in many industries | 23:26 |
czr | no lawyers added. | 23:27 |
Tak | Veggen: it's possible that the problem could be solved other ways than complete patent abolition | 23:27 |
Veggen | czr: Ok, bad idea. | 23:27 |
lcuk_2 | "Yahoo Patents 'Smart' Drag and Drop" <<<<< WTF?????? | 23:27 |
elb | but open and complete documentation of revolutionary processes is a *great* think | 23:27 |
elb | thing | 23:27 |
czr | Tak, make it illegal to study to become a patent/"IP" lawyer? | 23:27 |
Tama^2 | a patent that involves anything but manufacturing process is silly | 23:27 |
Veggen | Tak: but for example in the medical business, the costs of testing a new drug is actually sky-high. | 23:27 |
Tak | czr: nah, just make it legal to assassinate "IP" lawyers ;-) | 23:27 |
elb | Tama^2: patents covering mechanical apparatus are also reasonable, in many circumstances | 23:27 |
czr | lcuk_2, it's for dogs! they drag their owners and drop "packages" here and there. and they're pretty smart too. | 23:27 |
czr | Tak, heh. reminds me of an old joke. "what do you call three lawyers at the bottom of the sea?" | 23:28 |
*** xbmodder_ has joined #maemo | 23:28 | |
lcuk_2 | a good start :D | 23:28 |
Tak | I don't buy into the pharmacos' "Testing drugs is SO expensive!" rigamarole | 23:28 |
* czr nods | 23:28 | |
elb | Tak: the thing is, though, it really is, and that's documented fact | 23:28 |
czr | Tak, there's a limit on how many uppers and downers the managers can take, be reasonable.. | 23:28 |
lcuk_2 | tak ,it does cost lots | 23:28 |
Veggen | Tak: At the same time as it's usually ridiculously easy to copy the work of others, because one really need to know what's in a drug. | 23:28 |
LinuxCode | "what do you call three lawyers at the bottom of the sea?" | 23:28 |
elb | of course, a lot of that cost is ridiculous government intervention | 23:28 |
LinuxCode | mafia funeral ? | 23:29 |

*** MoRpHeUz has quit IRC | 23:29 | |
*** djcb has joined #maemo | 23:29 | |
lcuk_2 | because believe it or not, the government doesnt want people killing other people | 23:29 |
elb | also, keep in mind that for every compound which succeeds, *thousands* fail | 23:29 |
lcuk_2 | so they regulate it and make sure they cant | 23:29 |

*** jackster has joined #maemo | 23:29 | |

* LinuxCode sends lcuk_2 to army boot camp | 23:30 | |
elb | lcuk_2: various lobbies have convinced most first-world governments to do *entirely* unreasonable things with pharmaceuticals | 23:30 |

LinuxCode | ready for afghanistan | 23:30 |
LinuxCode | lol | 23:30 |
Veggen | but software? I don't think it should be patentable, or alternatively patent protection should be *way* shorter. | 23:30 |
Tak | elb: IMO, first-to-market can completely cover development cost nowadays | 23:30 |
LinuxCode | elb, pharma cos are always unreasonable | 23:30 |
Veggen | and submarine patents should be made illegal. | 23:30 |
LinuxCode | they dont want cures for cancer and aids | 23:30 |
LinuxCode | cures dont make money | 23:30 |
elb | Tak: except that you *have* to publish the compounds you're marketing -- which means second-to-market takes a matter of weeks | 23:30 |
LinuxCode | treatments do | 23:30 |
*** mat has quit IRC | 23:31 | |
lcuk_2 | why not, i might make a really novel way of building submarines | 23:31 |
Tak | a matter of weeks is plenty | 23:31 |
elb | LinuxCode: of course they are, they're government-protected monopolies | 23:31 |
LinuxCode | elb, dont say that | 23:31 |
elb | Tak: I think you underestimate the cost of drug development | 23:31 |
Veggen | i.e once you *should* have known that your patent was becomeing widely used (as in the gif patent, for example), you should lose all protection. | 23:31 |
czr | lcuk_2, a smart drag and drop submarine? | 23:31 |
Tak | because if you come out with a revolutionary new drug, you're going to sell as much as you can produce in those two weeks | 23:31 |
LinuxCode | the EU likes to fine people | 23:31 |
lcuk_2 | czr, on the internet | 23:31 |
elb | Tak: only if it's for a common disease | 23:31 |
LinuxCode | dont mess with the competition commission | 23:31 |
LinuxCode | ;-p | 23:31 |
czr | an internet submarine! | 23:31 |
Veggen | And what about the guys who bought the patents from the Xerox Parc guys, recently? | 23:32 |
elb | Tak: you're advocating a system under which rare conditions receive no research or treatment | 23:32 |
Tak | if it's not for a common disease, nobody's going to spend the money to research it anyway | 23:32 |
elb | right now, that's not the case | 23:32 |
Tak | elb: That's the system we have now. | 23:32 |
lcuk_2 | they are if it effects them | 23:32 |
Veggen | ...suing Linux companies for X.org-stuff. | 23:32 |
LinuxCode | Tak, universities do | 23:32 |
elb | many drug companies do, as well | 23:32 |
LinuxCode | and always did | 23:32 |
elb | because they have 17 years to recoup costs | 23:32 |
czr | Veggen, didn't hear about that. where's that? | 23:32 |
Veggen | (suing or threatening, don't remember) | 23:32 |
LinuxCode | thats what unis are/were for | 23:32 |
elb | and universities really can't compete on the drug-testing fields any more, except in some very special circumstances | 23:33 |
Tak | s/nobody/no company/ | 23:33 |
lcuk_2 | unis are for frat parties and naked twister | 23:33 |
Veggen | czr: it's true. A purely patent company is making threats to that end. | 23:33 |
czr | Veggen, sad days. once again. | 23:33 |
elb | medical schools complain about this endlessly | 23:33 |
Veggen | czr: In no sane world should that be possible. | 23:33 |
elb | they simply can't try enough compounds fast enough | 23:33 |

lcuk_2 | veggen, what are you still doing online anyway - arent you meant to be shittin yourself about now? | 23:40 |
Veggen | These days, sharepoint is sort of getting popular. I know there exist a sharepoint somewhere that I think we're supposed to work. | 23:40 |
LinuxCode | czr, course not.. | 23:40 |
LinuxCode | ;-| | 23:40 |
Veggen | eh, use. | 23:40 |
czr | GeneralAntilles, yeah, just like Nokia is the land of the small Nok-people. | 23:40 |
LinuxCode | that buttler guy is a moron | 23:40 |

czr | Veggen, I feel your pain. SPS is the devil's spawn | 23:40 |

LinuxCode | ttyl | 23:42 |
LinuxCode | ;-} | 23:42 |
*** LinuxCode has quit IRC | 23:42 | |
lcuk_2 | right, time for some code from me as well for half hour | 23:42 |
*** weiweijwiops has quit IRC | 23:42 | |
czr | sadly, I still have nothing useful to do | 23:42 |
pupnik | ?! | 23:43 |
lcuk_2 | i am still pondering the best way to control an active media player in linux (desktop) | 23:43 |
fysa | mind | 23:43 |
lcuk_2 | in windows i can code up SendKeys(...) and make things work | 23:43 |
megabyte405 | rem00t | 23:43 |
lcuk_2 | cant see anything for linux tho | 23:43 |
pupnik | now can anybody involved in open-source ever be lacking in things to do is a mystery to me | 23:43 |
czr | pupnik, _useful_.. | 23:44 |
czr | I have things to do. they're just not very useful atm :-) | 23:44 |
megabyte405 | I use rewwwoot/remoot to control media players using a web interface | 23:44 |
*** |tbb| has quit IRC | 23:44 | |
megabyte405 | works really nicely | 23:44 |
czr | like verifying bugs and such | 23:44 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, mpd? or am I missing something? | 23:44 |
megabyte405 | lcuk_2: if you're looking to integrate/control an existing desktop media player, try remoot. If you just want the PC as a media server, then mpd might be a better pick | 23:45 |
lcuk_2 | GeneralAntilles, i know nothing about linux as i said - ive written a basic remote control for 810 which sends commands to my windows machine and works nicely, but that uses sendkeys to control the active media player | 23:45 |
*** zodman has joined #maemo | 23:45 | |
lcuk_2 | megabyte405, im just searching for that now | 23:45 |
GeneralAntilles | You want the same for a Linux desktop? | 23:45 |
lcuk_2 | yer | 23:45 |
megabyte405 | should do exactly what you want - it's what I use it for | 23:46 |
GeneralAntilles | I'd just use mpd + mmpc | 23:46 |
Tama^2 | ok, n00b question: I would like to use my n800 as a music player (ipod replacement). Which media player do you suggest? (something that indexes and uses mp3 metadata) | 23:46 |
megabyte405 | I like ukmp | 23:46 |
GeneralAntilles | I'd try them all yourself, Tama^2. | 23:46 |
GeneralAntilles | Everybody is gonna give you a different answer. | 23:46 |
megabyte405 | there are lots of options and lots of people have their own favorite for wathever reason | 23:46 |
lcuk_2 | tama, GeneralAntilles is right, go shopping | 23:46 |
GeneralAntilles | There really isn't a single _perfect_ media player. | 23:46 |
lcuk_2 | there should be | 23:46 |
GeneralAntilles | They all have their strengths and weaknesses that work or don't work for different people. | 23:46 |

GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, there's never gonna be one answer that works for everybody. :P | 23:47 |
lcuk_2 | too many cooking pots mean you are full before you chose your favorite | 23:47 |
GeneralAntilles | Unless you integrate a lot of different paradigms into one application. | 23:47 |
*** VimSi has quit IRC | 23:47 | |
Tama^2 | right, I see the point but I mentione ipod replacemtn for a reason | 23:47 |
GeneralAntilles | Personally, the built-in Media player works really well for me. | 23:47 |
lcuk_2 | i know GeneralAntilles its like windows has 4 or 5 normal players that people use | 23:47 |
*** VimSi has joined #maemo | 23:48 | |
GeneralAntilles | I'm impressed with Canola2 so far, but it still needs some more spit'n'polish. | 23:48 |
HardandFast | i'll be back | 23:48 |
Tama^2 | GeneralAntilles: does it index metadata? | 23:48 |
*** HardandFast has quit IRC | 23:48 | |
GeneralAntilles | UKMP is pretty cool. | 23:48 |
lcuk_2 | i dont like canola, it feels slow | 23:48 |
GeneralAntilles | Support has been dropped, though. | 23:48 |
lcuk_2 | specifally the pictures | 23:48 |
GeneralAntilles | Kagu is another good one. | 23:48 |
GeneralAntilles | lcuk_2, you didn't use the photo browser under OS2007. :P | 23:49 |
lcuk_2 | lol | 23:49 |
GeneralAntilles | Media Center a lot of people seem to like. | 23:49 |
* Tak wait for someone to write a sdl-based media player in vala | 23:49 | |
GeneralAntilles | Or OS2005 for that matter. <_< | 23:49 |
megabyte405 | support has been dropped for UKMP? | 23:49 |
megabyte405 | or it just hasnt'seen a up date in a while? | 23:49 |
GeneralAntilles | Dropped | 23:49 |
lcuk_2 | gen, im serious about wanting to lower the bit depth and get speed, i could handle less colors = faster updates for entire experience | 23:49 |
megabyte405 | man, that sucks... | 23:49 |
GeneralAntilles | Konttori bowed out in favor of Canola | 23:50 |
megabyte405 | seems weird to me - there was just starting to be an apparent community of devs (like, active svn) | 23:50 |
GeneralAntilles | Plus, he's working at Nokia now. | 23:50 |
* lcuk_2 wanders off on a tangent ->>>>>>>>> sorry, all this talk of program choices made me think of speed | 23:50 | |
