| * RST38h has doubts about this | 00:03 | |
| RST38h | it is one thing to reread config file, and completely another to kill and restart the whole thing | 00:03 |

| Stskeeps | once you understand powerlaunch, its actually quite powerful :P | 00:05 |
| Stskeeps | and is a decent replacement | 00:05 |
| lcuk | thought you lose your sanity in the processs. its a balancing act | 00:05 |
| Stskeeps | yes, you do | 00:06 |
| Stskeeps | which is why someone needs to make something alike it, but saner | 00:06 |
| lcuk | without the t of course | 00:06 |
| lcuk | i dont think theres ever been an api invented which didnt piss off someone | 00:06 |
| GeneralAntilles | If it came with a half-dozen sane default configurations, it'd be workable. | 00:06 |
| GeneralAntilles | Oh, and if it were stable. | 00:06 |
| qwerty12_N800 | Configuration is fine imho, it emulates systemui in looks well but the functionality is not all there | 00:07 |
| Stskeeps | it's basically a small script language reacting to events | 00:07 |
| Stskeeps | all the magic happens in the scripts | 00:07 |
| Stskeeps | i | 00:09 |
| *** chenca has quit IRC | 00:09 | |
| Stskeeps | but i'm unsure what kind of language would be good for all the bloody many kind of events a tablet can have :P | 00:09 |
| RST38h | REXX? | 00:10 |
| lcuk | scottish | 00:10 |
| * qwerty12_N800 hopes ohm is a serious replacement for mce, you have *so* much daemons listening from 3rd party programmers for events on dbus so they can o something | 00:10 | |
| RST38h | java! java likes events! :E~~~~ | 00:11 |
| lcuk | rexx is just python before they added tabs isnt it | 00:11 |
| qwerty12_N800 | s/ o/do/ | 00:11 |
| *** krau has quit IRC | 00:11 | |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Nah, Java has no event stuff built-in. You want C# *cough* | 00:11 |
| RST38h | yea, right! mono! | 00:12 |
| lcuk | no, we need full color | 00:12 |
| Stskeeps | i really think a simple 'eval' could do the trick.. | 00:12 |
| johnx | full color? then you want LOGO! | 00:12 |
| Stskeeps | or something | 00:12 |
| lcuk | nice | 00:13 |
| RST38h | color forth? | 00:13 |
| lcuk | go forth | 00:13 |
| lcuk | + * | 00:13 |
| Jaffa | :) | 00:13 |
| Stskeeps | but having python as a generic event daemon might be freakish | 00:13 |
| johnx | dbus+a giant bash script | 00:14 |
| lcuk | would be kindof sensible, python has squirreled its way into most of the system now | 00:14 |
| qwerty12_N800 | python works well for certain things like the headset ;) *cough* | 00:14 |
| lcuk | is it easy to make an app have a python interface (like it used to be kinda easy to add an arexx interface | 00:15 |
| Stskeeps | lcuk: quite | 00:15 |
| Stskeeps | well, or embed python | 00:15 |

| qwerty12_N800 | You'll make alterego cry if you ignore ruby :p | 00:17 |

| *** dougt has joined #maemo | 00:23 | |
| qwerty12_N800 | ke-recv is also somewhat of an event handler come think of it | 00:23 |
| Stskeeps | yeah | 00:24 |

| Stskeeps | thought they removed those again though | 00:25 |
| johnx | Stskeeps, besides first-boot-wizard is there something else you wanted me to work on? | 00:26 |

| *** birunko has quit IRC | 00:27 | |
| * qwerty12_N800 recommends building fiferboy's clock applet. something so simple but it sure as hell increases the usefulness of the statusbar | 00:28 | |
| johnx | think I should make it part of auto-startx or separate it into another script? | 00:28 |
| Stskeeps | johnx: good question :P | 00:29 |
| johnx | if I make it part of auto-startx then auto-startx will pull in zenity as a requirement or a recommend (if I make it only start if it's found) | 00:29 |
| Stskeeps | well, boot process should go along the lines of boot -> start X -> pop up first boot wizard -> startx as user as chosen -> hildon | 00:30 |
| Stskeeps | - i think | 00:30 |
| johnx | right, it won't work as part of a a different script :) | 00:31 |

| lcuk | yeah the full 3d ones were, but clutter had 2 actors | 01:07 |
| lcuk | and those were controlled by box2d | 01:08 |

| lcuk | thats a better powervr omap3 demo | 01:10 |
| johnx | those are the old drivers though. that new video was the just released drivers :) | 01:11 |
| Stskeeps | johnx: i think mer post-first-boot-wizard would need the following: an xterm (with HIM), hildon-control-panel in image, some degree of connectivity (i dont really care which as long as it works), installer working, libhildon providing libhildon-1-0 or whatever ubuntu hildon is (so we can use the -hildon packages in ubuntu); maybe building some things in extras | 01:11 |
| johnx | the ones that will ship to pandora/beagle users | 01:11 |

| qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps, heh, I've had text completion in xterm, didn't work well... | 01:19 |
| tehforum | Cleaned the inside, and when i put it on charge and switched the tablet on | 01:19 |
| Stskeeps | qwerty12_N800: re xchat build, you probably need to run autogen.sh or 'libtoolize --force --copy' in rules somewhere | 01:20 |
| tehforum | The display wouldn't "show" but the keyboard did light up | 01:20 |
| tehforum | So i was like "crap", and thought my display was broken | 01:20 |
| tehforum | But after a few more restarts the nokia logo comes on | 01:20 |

| qwerty12_N800 | alterego, thank god :) but it isn't hard to enable - a one line change to libvte | 01:42 |
| alterego | :) | 01:42 |
| tehforum | Theres a shift option | 01:42 |
| alterego | Just got back from the pub, did a pub quiz . AND WON A MEAL FOR TWO! | 01:42 |
| tehforum | So yeah | 01:42 |
| tehforum | :@ | 01:42 |
| alterego | Ended on 66 points the 2nd place got 53 :D | 01:42 |
| qwerty12_N800 | alterego, wicked :D | 01:43 |
| alterego | Yup | 01:43 |
| Stskeeps | qwerty12_N800: we should get osso-xterm to work with ubuntu vte or something :P | 01:43 |
| tehforum | Try and beat the eggheads | 01:43 |
| tehforum | Bbc2 | 01:43 |
| alterego | libvte-ruby ftw :P | 01:43 |
| qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps, it's what I kept suggesting ;) | 01:43 |
| Stskeeps | alterego: are you staying close to ubuntu ruby package names? please say you do | 01:44 |
| alterego | What does osso-xterm use at the moment? | 01:44 |
| qwerty12_N800 | libvte4 | 01:44 |
| alterego | Stskeeps: yes, pretty close. | 01:44 |
| Stskeeps | alterego: thank god. | 01:44 |
| alterego | In fact, almost identical. | 01:44 |
| tehforum | Oh, the emelfm2 is chinook, | 01:44 |
| * Stskeeps has been dealing with pymaemo today | 01:44 | |
| Stskeeps | on mer, as part of work | 01:44 |
| Stskeeps | that was an interesting experience | 01:44 |
| alterego | The only difference is the ruby1.8-dev package which I call libruby1.8-dev | 01:44 |
| Stskeeps | add in a "Provides: ruby1.8-dev" if you can | 01:45 |
| alterego | Yeah, it's ubuntu that is wrong though. | 01:45 |
| alterego | ubuntu/debian | 01:45 |
| johnx | Stskeeps, it's a good thing you're doing it as part of work. sounds too frustrating to be part of the personal time you put into this | 01:45 |
| alterego | ubuntu has a package: libruby1.8-dbg | 01:45 |
| alterego | wtf?! | 01:45 |
| *** rsalveti has quit IRC | 01:46 | |
| johnx | gotta pick and choose your battles | 01:46 |
| Stskeeps | alterego: debug package++ | 01:46 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 01:46 | |
| alterego | Stskeeps: ubuntu does: libruby1.8-dbg and ruby1.8-dev. | 01:46 |
| Stskeeps | heh | 01:46 |
| Stskeeps | silly | 01:46 |
| alterego | Which is b*llsh*t | 01:46 |
| alterego | Again, ubuntu/debian :) | 01:47 |
| alterego | So my dev package is named libruby not ruby .. | 01:47 |
| alterego | Mainly because you don't need to install the interpreter to develop libraries. | 01:47 |
| *** ceyusa has quit IRC | 01:48 | |
| qwerty12_N800 | cdBS, hehe... | 01:48 |
| alterego | Oh, I also have a 'erb1.8' package which debian/ubuntu don't have. | 01:48 |
| johnx | if they don't have it it doesn't conflict so that's ok | 01:49 |
| *** florian has quit IRC | 01:49 | |
| alterego | Well, the executable that my package provides, I /think/ is in the ruby1.8 package .. Though it could be in the irb1.8 package. | 01:49 |
| qwerty12_N800 | Is erb a part of any other package in debian/ubuntu | 01:50 |
| qwerty12_N800 | nvr mind | 01:50 |
| *** vivijim has quit IRC | 01:51 | |
| alterego | Oh, I have extras access now :) So I'll be uploading packages this weekend :) | 01:51 |
| alterego | Or before, :) | 01:51 |
| qwerty12_N800 | whee :) | 01:51 |
| alterego | Does Mer have an autobuilder yet? ;) | 01:51 |
| tehforum | For what | 01:51 |
| tehforum | May i ask | 01:51 |
| alterego | tehforum: ruby-maemo ;) | 01:52 |

| *** hannesw has quit IRC | 01:52 | |
| *** StsN800 has joined #maemo | 01:52 | |
| tehforum | Nice | 01:53 |
| tehforum | Big project? | 01:53 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 01:53 | |
| alterego | Fairly. | 01:53 |
| alterego | It's the ruby equivalent of pymaemo I guess. | 01:53 |
| qwerty12_N800 | alterego, like Jaffa said (I think), a single ruby meta package in user/ that installs the minimum to run most ruby apps would be nice. pymaemo's method of installing it is a little odd :/ | 01:54 |
| alterego | Better language, though slightly less maemo oriented features at the moment as I've not put in as many hours. | 01:54 |
| *** juergbi has quit IRC | 01:54 | |
| alterego | qwerty12_N800: yeah. I'm hearing what everyone is saying. But I'm still not convinced ;) | 01:54 |
| alterego | I want application devs to depend on the packages they depend on. | 01:54 |
| alterego | If they need full Gtk/Hildon then depend on hildon1-ruby1.8 | 01:55 |
| *** hannesw has quit IRC | 01:55 | |
| alterego | osso: libosso-ruby1.8 etc. | 01:55 |
| Stskeeps | alterego: its not really an autobuilder but it woeks. jaiku.com/channel/merbuilder | 01:55 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 01:57 | |
| alterego | Stskeeps: I'd quite like to help with the Mer project. What kinds of things need to be done? | 01:58 |
| Stskeeps | alterego: well, contribution will soon be easier once we finish the initial image. | 01:59 |
| alterego | Presumably you're working on a scratchbox rootfs? | 01:59 |
| *** hannesw has quit IRC | 01:59 | |
| Stskeeps | you can grab armel sdk at | 01:59 |
| Stskeeps | ~mer | 01:59 |
| infobot | extra, extra, read all about it, mer is http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer_Blueprint_New and http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer_Blueprint | 01:59 |
| alterego | Will maemo.org be hosting repositories for you? | 01:59 |
| Stskeeps | in sb1 sdk | 02:00 |
| Stskeeps | and yes, at some point | 02:00 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 02:00 | |
| Stskeeps | wanted sdk stable first | 02:00 |
| StsN800 | we have a chroot x86 package builder and sb armel sdk builder atm | 02:01 |
| alterego | Cool | 02:01 |
| johnx | and native building is always a possibility for on the go dev work :) | 02:02 |
| tehforum | Is there a way to view cookies saved on microb? | 02:02 |
| *** greentux has quit IRC | 02:03 | |
| alterego | tehforum: if you go to the website you can do in the location bar: 'javascript: alert(document.cookie);' :) | 02:03 |

| tehforum | Ok how would i copy that cookies file to my internal memory card | 02:05 |
| tehforum | but that was fast :o, fast | 02:05 |
| tehforum | Thanks | 02:05 |
| Stskeeps | alterego, from earlier: i think mer post-first-boot-wizard (0.7) would need the following: an xterm (with HIM), hildon-control-panel in image, some degree of connectivity (i dont really care which as long as it works), installer working, libhildon providing libhildon-1-0 or whatever ubuntu hildon is (so we can use the -hildon packages in ubuntu); maybe building some things in extras, hildon application manager, changing themes sanely | 02:06 |
| alterego | cp ~/.mozilla/microb/cookies.txt /media/mmc2 | 02:07 |
| alterego | Right | 02:07 |
| *** punkass has quit IRC | 02:07 | |
| alterego | So Mer needs some open versions of Nokias closed utilities. | 02:08 |
| tehforum | Thanks | 02:08 |
| johnx | yeah, in a lot of places | 02:08 |
| alterego | I'd be quite interested in porting ubuntu's package manager to hildon .. | 02:08 |
| johnx | the add/remove one? | 02:08 |
| tehforum | Is there a place i need get a quick reference of command to use in xterm | 02:08 |
| johnx | or synaptic? | 02:08 |
| tehforum | They'd be pretty handy | 02:08 |
| *** danilocesar has joined #maemo | 02:08 | |
| StsN800 | alterego, all of the before is open though | 02:08 |
| *** hannesw has quit IRC | 02:09 | |
| alterego | Synaptic is a bit resolution hungry. | 02:09 |
| alterego | The update manager would be sweet though. | 02:09 |
| GeneralAntilles | Application Manager is open anyway. | 02:09 |
| tehforum | Yeah | 02:09 |
| StsN800 | isn't ham largely synaptic based? | 02:09 |
| johnx | StsN800, well they're all just apt front-ends | 02:09 |
| qwerty12_N800 | if it is, it doesn't show... | 02:09 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 02:09 | |
| alterego | I was thinking more gnome-app-installer and gnome-update-manager | 02:10 |
| tehforum | Ubuntu rocks btw | 02:10 |
| qwerty12_N800 | How about gdebi too? :) | 02:10 |
| tehforum | but i can't get sound to work in WINE | 02:10 |
| *** rsalveti has joined #maemo | 02:11 | |
| alterego | StsN800: I'd seriously be interested in porting gnome-app-manager and gnome-update-manager if you want me to :) | 02:12 |
| alterego | s/porting/hildonizing/ | 02:12 |
| infobot | alterego meant: StsN800: I'd seriously be interested in hildonizing gnome-app-manager and gnome-update-manager if you want me to :) | 02:12 |
| johnx | anything is good. just don't bring in all of libgnome* in the process :) | 02:12 |
| StsN800 | hehe.. it sounds a bit heavy though | 02:12 |
| alterego | And I promise I wont s/python/ruby/ ;) | 02:12 |
| alterego | StsN800: not at all. | 02:12 |
| *** punkass has joined #maemo | 02:12 | |
| alterego | We're not talking about the 1,000's of packages ubuntu has in it's "universe". | 02:13 |
| *** rzr is now known as rZr | 02:13 | |
| StsN800 | but try get our sdk first and perhaps image | 02:13 |
| alterego | gnome-app-manager is pretty light weight .. | 02:13 |
| alterego | And it has pretty icons for the categories .. Unlike maemo ;) | 02:14 |
| alterego | Sorry ITOS :) | 02:14 |
| johnx | if you wanted to fix hildon-application-manager that would be even better of course :) | 02:14 |
| alterego | Is it broken? | 02:15 |
| alterego | I thought it was proprietary. | 02:15 |
| johnx | nah, it's open | 02:15 |
| johnx | and anything without pretty icons is b0rken of course :) | 02:15 |
| alterego | Is that application not the software used in IT OS? | 02:16 |
| johnx | same one | 02:16 |
| johnx | it's open source and people have already been hacking on it. Might need some logic tweaks to work nicely with ubuntu though... | 02:16 |
| *** alecrim has quit IRC | 02:20 | |
| StsN800 | johnx, oh and continual ports of diablo/fremantle dbus interfaces could be good. simply get source package, dpkg-source -x, dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa -us -uc and try to see if builder agrees, if no, hack | 02:20 |
| johnx | "dbus interfaces" what package would that be? | 02:20 |
| StsN800 | tablet-browser-interface and friends | 02:22 |
| GeneralAntilles | alterego, s/ITOS/Maemo/g | 02:22 |
| StsN800 | alarmd.. | 02:22 |
| * alterego shudders | 02:23 | |
| alterego | Done osso? | 02:23 |
| johnx | GeneralAntilles, actually, that's kind of useful to have the distinction in this case :P | 02:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | johnx, but it's entirely inaccuaret. | 02:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | alterego, reacquaint yourself with Maemo's open source components. :P | 02:23 |
| alterego | I was attempting to draw a line between OSS and Nokias closed binaries. What would you have me say? | 02:24 |
| GeneralAntilles | Well, if you're talking about h-a-m, then it's open source. :P | 02:24 |
| alterego | I was asking whether it was closed though :P | 02:24 |
| *** t0h has quit IRC | 02:24 | |
| johnx | GeneralAntilles, being understood > "accuracy" | 02:25 |
| alterego | Heh | 02:25 |
| alterego | Oh crap, did I miss the meeting? | 02:25 |
| StsN800 | anyhow, bedtime | 02:25 |
| johnx | 'night StsN800. I'll put up first-boot-wizard in a bit, and maybe look at some of the other stuff on that list :) | 02:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | johnx, well, I didn't understand him. :P | 02:26 |
| johnx | GeneralAntilles, that's ok :) | 02:26 |
| *** b-man has joined #maemo | 02:26 | |
| *** t0h has joined #maemo | 02:27 | |
| johnx | GeneralAntilles, so if we're just referring to the UI part of Maemo, then hildon is the official name handed down from the Nokia gods, right? | 02:27 |
| *** johnnyjohnjohn has quit IRC | 02:28 | |
| GeneralAntilles | Right | 02:28 |
| *** ignacius has quit IRC | 02:28 | |
| johnx | and Maemo is the overall project and the name of the distribution | 02:28 |
| * johnx should make a $%*&ing hierarchical chart | 02:28 | |
| johnx | but this part always gets me: there is "maemo the overarching open source initiative" and "maemo the distro full of closed source stuff" | 02:29 |
| johnx | s/initiative/project or whatever | 02:29 |
| *** dougt has quit IRC | 02:31 | |
| GeneralAntilles | There's no differentiation between the open and closed parts. :) | 02:32 |
| GeneralAntilles | Maemo the OS and Maemo the platform is somewhat confusing | 02:32 |
| *** alextreme has quit IRC | 02:33 | |
| *** ceyusa has joined #maemo | 02:34 | |
| johnx | which is why it was nice when we could call the distro ITOS to differentiate it from "maemo the platform" | 02:34 |
| johnx | actually I like "The distro formerly known as ITOS" :) | 02:35 |
| `Mace | skype lite for android | 02:35 |
| `Mace | ! | 02:35 |
| johnx | had to happen eventually | 02:35 |
| `Mace | supposed to be put on the market tomorrow but aren't sure when it will be available | 02:35 |
| `Mace | first native java app from skype | 02:35 |
| `Mace | they're cutting out their 3rd party licenses haha | 02:36 |
| `Mace | this is usually the first step in becoming a conglomerate | 02:36 |
| `Mace | skype is on the path towards being the next vonage :) | 02:36 |
| Stskeeps | countdown till someone reverse engineers skype protocol... | 02:36 |
| lcuk | can i transfer my project from being svn hosted to git? | 02:36 |
| lcuk | and if so, what benefits do i get | 02:37 |
| `Mace | start out cheap... gather clients and customers... cut out licenses by making your own software... raise price | 02:37 |
| `Mace | it's the same thing apple did :) | 02:37 |
| johnx | and MS, if you tilt you head a little bit. :) It's the great American dream: start out small and screw everyone who helped you along the way | 02:38 |
| `Mace | of course! | 02:38 |
| `Mace | :) | 02:38 |
| `Mace | eventually you pass that threshhold where you have good users and clients.. | 02:38 |
| `Mace | and then you just start to have the people who want a hand me out | 02:39 |
| johnx | lcuk, git is supposed to handle distributed development better, but if svn is working for you and your other devs aren't complaining it might not be a big deal | 02:39 |
| `Mace | look at comcast :) | 02:39 |
| `Mace | i related comcast to when the city used to put salt on the corners in these box things... so people in the neighborhood could salt their sidewalks after shoveling during the winter | 02:39 |
| `Mace | what do you think started to happen to the salt? :) | 02:40 |
| lcuk | well since im not updating svn at the mo its probably for the best i look towards the future | 02:40 |
| lcuk | svn will get updated in the next week or so, but its not ready for now | 02:40 |
| `Mace | some ASSHOLE.. in a truck.. systematically went box to box stealing all the salt leaving everybody else to fend for themselves | 02:40 |
| `Mace | and fucked it up for everybody haha | 02:40 |
| johnx | `Mace, and then his truck rusted? | 02:40 |
| `Mace | doesn't matter.. he had more than enough salt to sell to make up for a rusted truck ;) | 02:41 |
| lcuk | i understand the need for truckfuls of salt, but where did he get enough lemons? | 02:41 |
| `Mace | comcast was in the same situation | 02:41 |
| `Mace | they left salt out for people because they had plenty of it | 02:41 |
| `Mace | and 5 people came along and used enough salt that 40 people could have used | 02:42 |
| johnx | then they realized they had less than they thought they did and realized they could get away with charging for it now that they're the only game in town | 02:42 |
| `Mace | can't blame them for being assholes with their connections .. especially when someone paying 20/month expects to download 5TB/month | 02:42 |
| `Mace | johnx - yeah that too :) | 02:42 |
| johnx | no sympathy for big cable, big telco or big wireless | 02:43 |
| `Mace | ATT is around here.. but their dsl is GARBAGE | 02:43 |
| `Mace | it's absolutely horrible | 02:43 |
| `Mace | i don't know if it's the archaic phone lines here or what.. but it is bad | 02:43 |
| `Mace | the FASTEST i could get here is 1.5mbit | 02:43 |
| `Mace | i tried to get them to bump it up because that really is slow as hell for today's internet connection | 02:43 |
| `Mace | but they said they couldn't :) how sad | 02:43 |

| `Mace | i didn't look into it too much tho | 02:45 |
| johnx | w/ a 5GB/month cap | 02:45 |
| `Mace | really? | 02:45 |
| `Mace | damn.. i'd go through that in a day | 02:45 |
| johnx | `Mace, you're next on the list of comcast's heavy users :P | 02:45 |
| `Mace | when comcast started getting antsy about their bandwidth.. i just called them up and told them to bump me up to a capless business line | 02:45 |
| `Mace | ;) | 02:45 |
| johnx | `Mace, they'll just keep going down their list starting from the top until they get to you | 02:46 |
| `Mace | you would be suprised how difficult it was to find information on how to get a business line | 02:46 |
| `Mace | i got the india indian call a long time ago saying i was using too much | 02:46 |
| `Mace | and asked him.. ok.. then how do i get a better line and give you mor emoney so it isn't a big deal anymore? | 02:46 |
| `Mace | and he had no clue | 02:46 |
| `Mace | lol | 02:46 |
| `Mace | business lines aren't capped | 02:46 |
| `Mace | and cost around 20/month more | 02:46 |
| `Mace | :) | 02:47 |
| `Mace | it's just simple extortion | 02:47 |
| `Mace | i don't mind payin gan extra 20/month to avoid the headache | 02:47 |
| `Mace | haha.. they already got to me once when i had a res line | 02:47 |
| johnx | I guess $20/month isn't bad if you're allowed to host servers on it | 02:47 |
| `Mace | "You have downloaded 250G and it is only 2 weeks into the month..." | 02:47 |
| johnx | I mean $20 more than a normal plan | 02:48 |
| `Mace | yeah. they had a sale on it though | 02:48 |
| `Mace | plus you have to sign a 2 yr lease | 02:48 |
| johnx | I'd setup my own little CoLo | 02:48 |
| `Mace | i think the 1yr lease was a little higher | 02:48 |
| johnx | probably couldn't get it going to an apartment :) | 02:48 |
| *** hannesw has quit IRC | 02:48 | |
| `Mace | i got this line going into my house ;) | 02:48 |
| `Mace | just tell them you run your business out of your apartment | 02:49 |
| `Mace | haha | 02:49 |
| `Mace | they don't really care.. they just want the money | 02:49 |
| johnx | apartments are usually just one option though unless you can get wimax or want to use 3G | 02:49 |
| `Mace | only kids can't pay extra money for more bandwidth ;) which is who they are trying to cut off | 02:49 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 02:49 | |
| `Mace | wimax! blah | 02:49 |
| `Mace | i was hoping they had it here in chicago but no go | 02:49 |
| `Mace | it's still "planned" | 02:50 |
| `Mace | whatever :) | 02:50 |
| *** hannesw has quit IRC | 02:50 | |
| `Mace | so i went to tmob and got my g1 | 02:50 |
| johnx | nah, two birds with one stone: get rid of their biggest users to avoid having to improve their infrastructure and get money out of everyone else | 02:50 |
| `Mace | att's 3G SUCKED | 02:50 |
| `Mace | it was constantly cut off.. their voice service went straight to shit too | 02:50 |
| `Mace | i think they're cutting off towers to save money | 02:50 |
| `Mace | they have a good infrastructure | 02:51 |
| johnx | they're moving more spectrum from EDGE to 3G now though | 02:51 |
| *** hannesw has joined #maemo | 02:51 | |
| `Mace | one thing i can say about comcast.. they do keep up with good speed | 02:51 |
| johnx | won't last with everyone hitting youtube all the time | 02:51 |
| `Mace | i have rarely if ever had a problem with them other than the long wait for the install | 02:51 |
| `Mace | naw.. eventually it will level down | 02:51 |
| johnx | Video-over-IP is the future though | 02:52 |
| `Mace | plus i'm sure they lost a lot of users during the economic crash | 02:52 |
| `Mace | i dunno | 02:52 |
| johnx | that's the direction it's going | 02:52 |
| `Mace | most people just want to talk on the phone | 02:52 |

| `Mace | no way | 02:53 |
| `Mace | usenet is still going pretty strong | 02:53 |
| johnx | everyone's dropping it though | 02:53 |
| `Mace | wow really? | 02:54 |
| johnx | the ISPs I mean | 02:54 |
| `Mace | oh.. maybe their personal servers | 02:54 |
| `Mace | yeah | 02:54 |
| `Mace | the isps aren't serving it anymore | 02:54 |
| `Mace | which means $40/month is going to giganews ;) | 02:54 |
| `Mace | x 189237928137189372 | 02:54 |
| `Mace | for the price of buying 1 bray a month | 02:54 |
| johnx | right, but people are watching TV over the internet | 02:54 |
| `Mace | you can download 500 | 02:54 |
| `Mace | i've never really done that | 02:55 |
| *** Grackle has joined #maemo | 02:55 | |
| `Mace | honestly don't even know how to tell you the truth.. i'd probably do it if my popcornhour box supported it | 02:55 |
| johnx | been watching CES coverage? new TVs have it built in | 02:55 |
| johnx | youtube / netflix / amazon / some with hulu I think | 02:56 |
| `Mace | i download the shows i want.. only time i watch something would be local sports or the news | 02:56 |
| `Mace | which i could get ota | 02:56 |
| *** bef0rd has joined #maemo | 02:56 | |
| `Mace | with my tv's digital tuner ;) | 02:56 |
| johnx | you could get it OTA, but you don't because it's on when you don't feel like watching TV :) | 02:56 |
| *** kcome has joined #maemo | 02:57 | |
| `Mace | no.. i watch the local news every now and then ota | 02:57 |
| `Mace | signal isn't that bad either | 02:57 |
| `Mace | was expecting it to skip a lot more than it does.. i'll probably get a stutter once a day | 02:57 |
| `Mace | ok.. i'm going to go to the store | 02:57 |
| `Mace | waiting on skype to get released onto the google market soon :) | 02:57 |
| `Mace | haha | 02:57 |
| `Mace | tmob 3G is pretty good | 02:58 |
| `Mace | i downloaded like 3G on it so far | 02:58 |
| johnx | I'll keep it in mind :) | 02:58 |
| `Mace | 3Gigabytes | 02:58 |
| `Mace | heh | 02:58 |
| `Mace | want to see how long it takes before they comcast me :) | 02:58 |
| `Mace | they are probably allowing people to get away with murder in order to test their network out for android | 02:58 |
| johnx | I think after 5GB they'll drop you to EDGE or something | 02:59 |
| johnx | don't remember | 02:59 |
| `Mace | well. there is only one way to find out! | 02:59 |
| `Mace | :) | 02:59 |
| `Mace | although when i'm home i can just use the wifi | 02:59 |
| `Mace | mp4s that i play on the phone are like 150MB/hr | 02:59 |
| `Mace | and i only download them when i'm desperate and forgot to copy something to watch onto it | 02:59 |

| MaceN800 | pupnik, skype announced an official android program | 08:16 |
| MaceN800 | first java skype made by skype | 08:16 |
| MaceN800 | thank god because all they have is iskoot | 08:17 |
| MaceN800 | which is absolute garbage | 08:17 |
| *** lardman has joined #maemo | 08:17 | |
| MaceN800 | it uses minutes to use skype.. uses call forwarding through the voice channel rather than actual pkkt data | 08:18 |
| MaceN800 | they should be lined up and shot | 08:18 |
| MaceN800 | the whole dev team | 08:18 |
| GeneralAntilles | pupnik, not in a Maemo capacity | 08:20 |
| *** gentooer has joined #maemo | 08:21 | |

| MaceN800 | no fring for android | 08:23 |
| MaceN800 | i'll just wait for an official skype release | 08:23 |
| pupnik | nokia is not being effective in the media-space | 08:23 |
| pupnik | god damn google | 08:23 |
| MaceN800 | haha | 08:23 |
| MaceN800 | android is absolutely awesome | 08:23 |
| GeneralAntilles | Eh, there's nothing to talk about Maemo-wise. | 08:23 |
| *** robink has joined #maemo | 08:23 | |
| GeneralAntilles | Especially not for a consumer electronics show | 08:23 |
| MaceN800 | nokia should do a major update to symbian to compete prretty soon | 08:24 |
| MaceN800 | keep the base but make it a little prettier to use | 08:24 |
| pupnik | i could think of nice media apperances | 08:24 |
| pupnik | nice model woman, wearing 3 n810s | 08:24 |
| GeneralAntilles | N810 is basically EOL | 08:25 |
| pupnik | yeah | 08:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | There'll be fanfare and media coverage when the RX-51's out. | 08:25 |
| MaceN800 | maemo needs to look nicer too | 08:25 |
| pupnik | the display could be screenshot nipples | 08:25 |
| MaceN800 | i don't know.. after getting my g1.. nokia seems behind the running | 08:25 |
| GeneralAntilles | MaceN800, compared to what? :\ | 08:25 |
| pupnik | pls explain MaceN800 | 08:25 |
| pupnik | srsly | 08:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | It looks better than almost everything else as-is. | 08:26 |
| MaceN800 | i think android is better | 08:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | Meh | 08:26 |
| MaceN800 | then again android has stronger hardware | 08:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | Either way, who cares? | 08:26 |
| MaceN800 | but my n95 is very strong | 08:26 |
| GeneralAntilles | Android is a cellular platform | 08:26 |
| MaceN800 | and runs symbian which looks like it is from the mid 90s | 08:26 |
| MaceN800 | so is symbian | 08:26 |
| MaceN800 | and it has been the same for about a decade | 08:27 |
| pupnik | ok wait | 08:27 |
| MaceN800 | :) | 08:27 |
| GeneralAntilles | MaceN800, #maemo not #symbian | 08:27 |
| pupnik | google phone manages your data in web-apps | 08:27 |
| pupnik | right? | 08:27 |
| GeneralAntilles | We don't much care about cellular platforms | 08:27 |
| MaceN800 | well. he said "nokia..." | 08:27 |
| pupnik | MaceN800: | 08:27 |
| MaceN800 | and android is more a portable platform | 08:27 |
| MaceN800 | the cell part is more of a bonus | 08:27 |
| MaceN800 | the n900 will have a built in utms modem | 08:27 |
| LinuxCode | eneralAntilles> There'll be fanfare and media coverage when the RX-51's out. | 08:28 |
| MaceN800 | so does that make maemo a cell platform too? | 08:28 |
| pupnik | any | 08:28 |
| LinuxCode | rx-51 ? is that linux based ? | 08:28 |
| pupnik | any | 08:28 |
| pupnik | platform | 08:28 |
| pupnik | that is based upon transferring private data to a 'free' service | 08:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, RX-51 is the next tablet | 08:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | using OMAP3 | 08:28 |
| pupnik | is a total-information-awareness trojan | 08:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | We don't know that it'll be called "N900" | 08:28 |
| LinuxCode | based on linux though ? | 08:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | But we do know it's current device code is RX-51 | 08:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | Er? | 08:28 |
| MaceN800 | pupnik, haha | 08:28 |
| GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, it's the next Maemo tablet. . . . | 08:29 |
| pupnik | so as long as 'android' is based on google apps | 08:29 |
| LinuxCode | col | 08:29 |
| pupnik | fuck it | 08:29 |
| LinuxCode | I just had to check | 08:29 |
| LinuxCode | ;-p | 08:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | MaceN800, voice is cellular | 08:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | Data really isn't | 08:29 |
| LinuxCode | I was getting worried for a moment | 08:29 |
| MaceN800 | GeneralAntilles, because you can talk on it? | 08:29 |
| LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, i take it thats the device ari was talking about | 08:29 |
| MaceN800 | yu can use skype on an n800... voice is always data nowadays | 08:29 |
| pupnik | skype is also a trojan | 08:29 |
| GeneralAntilles | Because the regulatory and carry requirements that apply to voice are different from the ones that apply to data-only. | 08:30 |
| LinuxCode | with 3g/umts ? | 08:30 |
| MaceN800 | heh | 08:30 |
| pupnik | i'm tellin you | 08:30 |
| MaceN800 | pupnik, i have yet to try the android flash on my n800 | 08:30 |
| GeneralAntilles | MaceN800, whatever you may believe it to be, or whatever it may actually be, it doesn't have a whole lot to do with what carriers and regulatory industries believe it to be. :) | 08:30 |
| MaceN800 | since it is rather immature | 08:30 |
| GeneralAntilles | and cellular is a different formfactor | 08:31 |
| MaceN800 | heh | 08:31 |
| MaceN800 | you're just playing symantics | 08:31 |
| MaceN800 | android is not a "cellular" platform.. it is a portable platform | 08:31 |
| MaceN800 | just as palm used to be.. then it moved onto phones | 08:31 |
| pupnik | yeah well the time is coming | 08:32 |

| pupnik | store-and-forward bluetooth fidonet | 08:32 |

| Stskeeps | morning | 12:34 |
| Stskeeps | hehe | 12:34 |
| Stskeeps | beagleboard is cute, but it had a tendancy to bring out the worst in my sd cards | 12:34 |
| florian | alterego: I can confirm that this combination is a nice toy. | 12:35 |
| alterego | It's strange, that I was predicting devices would have the hardware we have _now_ about 10 years ago :) | 12:35 |
| alterego | florian: :P | 12:35 |
| alterego | florian: Did you get the TI devkit? Or separately? The projectors cost £250 on their own. | 12:35 |
| * florian currently tests if latest kernels do what I need | 12:36 | |
| alterego | OMAP3 kernel? | 12:36 |
| florian | alterego: no i had the board already but not much time to do somethign useful with it | 12:36 |
| florian | alterego: yes | 12:36 |
| alterego | Cool, | 12:36 |
| alterego | I plan on building a 3D DVB-T PVR | 12:37 |
| alterego | I want to do things like cover-flow with TV channels :) | 12:37 |

| alterego | I've never seen this happen without someone changing the desktop background. Maybe you should submit a bug report. | 12:47 |

| *** gopi has quit IRC | 12:56 | |
| aleksiL_ | And how do I do that? :) | 13:01 |

| lcuk | or was that just showboating? | 13:36 |

| lardman | they had a pre-launch iirc | 13:36 |
| RichiH | lardman: historic reasons | 13:36 |
| lardman | RichiH: no worries, just wondering | 13:36 |
| lcuk | bbl | 13:36 |
| glass | lcuk: they generally announce tech flagships way ahead of release | 13:36 |
| lardman | hmm, where's the announce on the n900... | 13:37 |
| glass | lcuk: other phone manufs do the same.. at least nokia mostly releases those tech flagships | 13:37 |
| glass | urgh | 13:37 |
| RichiH | a n900 has been announced? | 13:37 |
| glass | meant lardman | 13:37 |
| RichiH | atm, i am kinda waiting for the pandora | 13:37 |
| lardman | RichiH: not really, other than with info from the next SDK | 13:37 |
| lardman | RichiH: more of waiting than kinda ;) | 13:37 |
| RichiH | lardman: don't tell anyone, but they will start shipping in feb at the latest | 13:38 |
| lardman | hmm | 13:38 |
| RichiH | (tell anyone you like :p ) | 13:38 |
| RichiH | but yah, if i am lucky, i might be able to take a full prototype or even one of the first finished ones to fosdem | 13:39 |
| lardman | I'm still torn, will probably get one anyway | 13:39 |
| RichiH | i _will_ bring a devboard for the embedian people to play with | 13:39 |
| lardman | RichiH: are you involved in the project? | 13:40 |
| RichiH | lardman: no, but i know one of the lead devs | 13:40 |
| lardman | ok | 13:40 |
| * RichiH wonders when maemo will run on the pandora ;) | 13:41 | |
| Stskeeps | mer prolly will very easy. | 13:41 |
| RichiH | Stskeeps: i suspect so, as well | 13:41 |
| johnx | RichiH, working on it ... | 13:41 |
| RichiH | if anyone will be at fosdem, i could poke ED about a second devboard | 13:41 |
| Stskeeps | and since it works on x86 already.. :P | 13:41 |
| RichiH | johnx: ah. do you have a devbboard? | 13:42 |
| Stskeeps | .. and a zaurus | 13:42 |
| RichiH | Stskeeps: it's arm | 13:42 |
| Stskeeps | i know | 13:42 |
| RST38h | Feb 2010? | 13:42 |
| johnx | RichiH, nope, but if the pandora boots ubuntu and has an x server, then maemo on mer is easy | 13:42 |
| RichiH | johnx: it runs angstroem | 13:43 |
| RichiH | but gentoo, debian & ubuntu are being worked on, as well | 13:44 |
| johnx | exactly :) | 13:44 |
| lardman | so end of feb is the current shipping prediction then? | 13:48 |
| johnx | I'd bet march on the safe side | 13:48 |
| johnx | and I hope it's in march or I'll need to have them ship to a different address (!) | 13:48 |
| lardman | yeah, that was my prediction | 13:48 |
| lardman | I hope it's December, no wait, that's already gone | 13:48 |
| johnx | did you see the "mini-roadmap" post | 13:48 |
| lardman | yep | 13:49 |
| johnx | it looked awfully optimistic to make a feb shipping date | 13:49 |
| lardman | yeah | 13:49 |
| johnx | and if it is out in feb I'll be pleasantly proven wrong :) | 13:49 |
| * lardman wonders what other cool hw will be about in March | 13:51 | |
| *** kcome_ has quit IRC | 13:52 | |
| johnx | well, if CES is anything to go by: a couple more crappy MIDs and a decent atom-based netbook from HP | 13:52 |
| johnx | the ARM-based and MIPS-based netbooks seem to be either targeted at Asian countries (not Japan either...) or coming out late this year | 13:53 |
| lardman | hmm, not too exciting then | 13:53 |
| johnx | yeah, I'm not too worried :) | 13:53 |
| johnx | hey, is Nokia at CES? | 13:53 |
| Stskeeps | peter@marketing said maemo wasn't, at least | 13:54 |
| johnx | bah | 13:54 |
| johnx | there's some android-based tablet concept it seems making the rounds | 13:54 |
| johnx | but with a 480x320 screen. thoroughly "meh" in terms of a target for Maemo | 13:55 |
| RichiH | lardman: end of jan is the earliest, end of feb the latest starting date | 13:55 |
| *** chenca has joined #maemo | 13:55 | |
| johnx | "latest"? after that they'll just cancel the project or something? | 13:55 |
| RichiH | nah | 13:55 |
| RichiH | but from what i gather of internal predictions | 13:55 |
| RichiH | what roadmap post, btw? | 13:55 |
| johnx | was mentioned on: http://openpandora.wordpress.com/ | 13:56 |
| RST38h | johnx: Anything Atom-based is going to be crappy performance wise | 13:56 |
| johnx | RST38h, yeah, but $330 isn't a bad price for crappy performance :) | 13:56 |
| RST38h | Same goes for the MIPS based devices. Just had a chance to compare similarly specced ARM and MIPS boards and MIPS sucks moose balls | 13:56 |
| RST38h | johnx: "I am not rich enough to buy crappy goods" (C)unknown | 13:57 |
| johnx | now, get me a PPC based netbook and I'd be interested... | 13:57 |
| RST38h | johnx: Would you like refridgeration with that? ;) | 13:57 |
| Jaffa | lcuk: if you're in London post-26th January (back to work after paternity), give me a shout | 13:57 |
| johnx | I think freescale does a low-power 603e | 13:58 |
| RichiH | the new sony gadget is nice | 13:58 |
| *** k-s[AWAY] is now known as k-s | 13:58 | |
| RichiH | but kinda expensive | 13:58 |
| Jaffa | The Vaio-P? | 13:58 |
| johnx | yeah, you pay a lot for the form factor | 13:58 |
| Jaffa | I was thinking "$900" isn't much, but then remembered that GBP's crashed recently, and so $900 != 450GBP | 13:59 |
| johnx | wonder what they want in JPY... | 13:59 |
| johnx | but, I had a chance to do another hands-on with that HP mini-note 2133 and mini 1000...those are just about perfect in every respect for me | 14:00 |

| *** gomiam has joined #maemo | 14:02 | |

| dneary | roughly | 14:02 |
| dneary | grats Jaffa! | 14:02 |
| Jaffa | ta | 14:02 |
| dneary | How many kilos in 7lb11oz? | 14:02 |
| Jaffa | Interesting: http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/200901081192/download-windows-7-for-free-from-tomorrow.html | 14:02 |
| dneary | 3.5 about? | 14:02 |
| X-Fade | Use google.. | 14:02 |
| Jaffa | dneary: no idea, babies are always measured imperially in the UK | 14:03 |
| lardman | johnx: I know, but then I have to use arithmetic to work out how large it is, rather than just looking at my ruler | 14:03 |
| Jaffa | 3.487kg | 14:03 |
| dneary | Jaffa: What's 53cm in metric, then? | 14:03 |
| johnx | lardman, sizeeasy.com or ... learn both systems :P | 14:03 |
| Jaffa | Babies' weights, sorry | 14:03 |
| dneary | Jaffa: My guesstimate was pretty close, then :) | 14:03 |
| Jaffa | aye | 14:04 |
| *** t_s_o has quit IRC | 14:04 | |
| Stskeeps | Jaffa: woo, congratulations :) | 14:04 |
| dneary | The guess was from the 500g pots of jam, which were 1lb pots with "10% extra free!" when I was a kid | 14:04 |
| dneary | So 7lb +10% = 3500g | 14:05 |
| *** oilinki has quit IRC | 14:05 | |
| lardman | Jaffa: yes, congrats | 14:05 |
| dneary | And 10% of 7lb is roughly 0.7*15 | 14:05 |
| dneary | Or 10.5oz | 14:06 |
| *** t_s_o has joined #maemo | 14:06 | |
| dneary | (anywayn, that's that for the anecdote of how I do imperial weight to kgs) | 14:06 |
| dneary | I've found imperial volume to metric much harder - esp. for fl. oz. and US gallons | 14:06 |
| dneary | Because we never used those in Ireland | 14:07 |
| dneary | I know 8 pints is a gallon in Ireland, which makes about 4.5l | 14:07 |
| dneary | And I know the difference between a half litre and a pint (68ml) | 14:07 |
| dneary | But I think US gallons are smaller, or something | 14:08 |
| *** johnnyjohnjohn has joined #maemo | 14:08 | |
| dneary | Or bigger | 14:08 |
| lardman | they;re smaller | 14:08 |
| lardman | 14:09 | |
| lardman | 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 litres | 14:09 |
| lardman | according to Google | 14:09 |
| dneary | Ah - there's the difference | 14:10 |
| lardman | so US mpg figures aren't quite as dire as they seem | 14:10 |
| dneary | A US fl.oz. is bigger than a British fl.oz., but there are 16 US fl.oz. in a US pint (473ml) and 20 British fl.oz. in a British mint (568ml) | 14:11 |
| dneary | lardman: It still makes me want to slap US people around the place when they complain about gas at $3 a gallon | 14:11 |
| lardman | yeah, absolutely :) | 14:12 |
| dneary | When in France we were paying €1.35 a litre, or $1.83, or $6.40 a gallon | 14:12 |
| lardman | we're down in the 90s now (p/l) | 14:13 |
| johnx | dneary, but you have a public transportation system that works | 14:13 |

| dneary | When they went up to $4 a gallon, we were at €1.50 a litre | 14:13 |
| lardman | certainly can't say it works in the UK | 14:13 |
| dneary | $7 a gallon | 14:14 |
| dneary | The difference is, a 33% increase in US gas prices equals an 18% increase in French petrol prices | 14:14 |
| dneary | Because it's over 50% tax in France | 14:15 |
| dneary | And we're down to under a euro for diesel here, about €1.05 for petrol | 14:15 |
| RST38h | that is all for the good of the environment! rejoice! | 14:16 |

| RST38h | Do they run MS Word? | 14:21 |
| johnx | har har | 14:22 |
| RST38h | Thought so. | 14:22 |
| RST38h | If it looks like a laptop, it is supposed to run MS Word. | 14:22 |
| johnx | not reason it wouldn't run open office of course. it'd be fine for kids | 14:22 |
| johnx | and actually I'd expect them to show up at k-mart or target or walmart instead of best-buy | 14:23 |
| lcuk | kids hate it (esp in uk) they are taught with office | 14:23 |
| *** guardian has joined #maemo | 14:23 | |
| johnx | hey, kid, would you like a laptop to check facebook and lolcats (but open office instead of word) or are would you like to not have a laptop? | 14:24 |
| RST38h | johnx: What is open office? I dunno how to use it and my teacher can't open my homework afterwarss | 14:24 |
| RST38h | johnx: He wouldn't | 14:24 |
| johnx | that's BS | 14:24 |
| RST38h | johnx: It is not. I may not necessarily agree with this, but this is how things are. | 14:24 |
| lcuk | johnx, luke uses nokia for facebook etc, but for homework office is whats expected | 14:24 |
| johnx | RST38h, adults are one thing, kids are another | 14:24 |
| lcuk | i got shouted at when i offered open office (ok, i told him it was linux as well) | 14:25 |
| RST38h | johnx: same crap | 14:25 |
| RST38h | johnx: and you can't imagine how mean those "educators" are nowadays | 14:25 |
| Stskeeps | admittedly i don't like OO either, but that's cos when I used it and recommended it to people, it was -very- unstable :P | 14:25 |
| johnx | RST38h, in a choice between having a computer and not having a computer, a kid is not going to turn down a computer | 14:25 |
| lcuk | yes, they are | 14:25 |
| lcuk | its like offering a kid a ps-one when really they wanted an x-box | 14:26 |
| Stskeeps | i find it curious how many people accepted Works instead of office back then | 14:26 |
| lcuk | MUCH more opinionated | 14:26 |
| lcuk | it was microsoft | 14:26 |
| Stskeeps | and how everyone says they need Word | 14:26 |
| Stskeeps | (now) | 14:26 |
| * lcuk remembers a time before office | 14:27 | |
| johnx | Stskeeps, probably because MS poisoned the well by making Works and Word not place nice. now they know they can't trust anything but Word | 14:27 |
| johnx | lcuk, I still hold that it's different with computers than it is with game systems. A PS1 doesn't have Halo, but this has facebook and AIM | 14:28 |
| johnx | and for kids they probably care about how it looks more than what it's running, provided you get them at a young enough age | 14:29 |
| lcuk | johnx, homework is a big factor, i was moaned at because i didnt have the same version of office.. | 14:29 |

| RST38h | johnx: The reason why you wouldn't is to keep your kids from getting addicted to WoW or Facebook or whatever | 14:40 |
| johnx | eh. like I said...not commenting on commercial viability. I was thinking of one for myself | 14:40 |
| RST38h | Ah | 14:40 |
| RST38h | Consider getting a real light subnotebook then :) | 14:41 |
| johnx | I thought you might be interested in seeing that they have working prototypes since you seem to be some what interested in non-x86 hardware :P | 14:41 |
| Stskeeps | i think if i have a kid and he reaches 6 years of age, or whatever, i'd give him a computer he'd have to hack on to get things working | 14:41 |
| Stskeeps | did wonders for me | 14:41 |
| Stskeeps | .. provided he shows same tendancies | 14:41 |
| RST38h | johnx: I had no doubts they would have working prototypes | 14:42 |
| lardman | those handbag laptops look more like the size | 14:42 |
| johnx | and yes, my potential offspring will likely end up with linux computers unless they 1) really need it for school or 2) feel the need to buy themselves a windows license | 14:42 |
| RST38h | Sts: A kid nowadays wouldn't hack | 14:42 |
| RST38h | Sts: Kids have changed somewhat | 14:42 |
| RST38h | johnx: What I have doubts about if whether anyone needs these prototypes | 14:43 |
| johnx | RST38h, I don't buy it. there's hackers in every generation...or did you forget some of the people on here? | 14:43 |
| Stskeeps | what johnx said.. even my nephew has been hacking about since he was 13 | 14:43 |
| RST38h | johnx: Yes, what I mean is there are much fewer people interested in tinkering with each generation | 14:43 |
| RST38h | johnx: It kinda went out of fashion | 14:43 |
| johnx | ha. it was never in fashion unless I missed something | 14:44 |

| X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Heh, yeah. Had to laugh when that ended up in my mailbox. | 14:48 |
| Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: the fucky part is this comment is not even by someone participating in the bug report | 14:48 |
| GeneralAntilles | Whatever you remember, your snapshot of both experiences is so small as to be meaningless when generalized to "kids these days" | 14:48 |

| Stskeeps | ah | 14:49 |
| RST38h | General: And it is not anecdotal, as we are talkibg about several dozens of students | 14:49 |

| johnx | what's the big reason to go git vs bzr? | 15:18 |
| Stskeeps | getting closer to maemo.org | 15:19 |
| Stskeeps | bzr has easy "create new repository" :P | 15:19 |
| RST38h | doesn't maemo.org use SVN? | 15:19 |
| Stskeeps | yeah, it does, but it will have git too soon | 15:19 |
| Stskeeps | distributed vcs or wtf it's called is good for contribution though | 15:20 |
| Jaffa | I dunno what's driving the git move on maemo.org; Maemo Software seem to have started using it, but I suspect it's tool-envy/grass-is-greener/cool-buzzword stuff rather than any real pressing technical problem with svn | 15:20 |
| Jaffa | It's not exactly like Maemo is a hub of decentralized development projects ;-) | 15:21 |
| Stskeeps | Jaffa: i can see good things for it really | 15:21 |
| Stskeeps | you're not forced to a certain vcs-determined workflow | 15:21 |
| Jaffa | But git's so geared for Linus' Linux development, patch-oriented workflow (or was, last time I looked) | 15:22 |
| Stskeeps | yeah, but if you get away from the abstraction of svn, it's patch-oriented too :P | 15:23 |
| Jaffa | Now svn's got merge tracking, the only thing a DVCS would give *me* on my variety of projects is local commits. | 15:23 |
| Jaffa | Stskeeps: true | 15:23 |
| *** andre__ has joined #maemo | 15:24 | |
| zeenix | Jaffa: git does (seem to) have merge tracking | 15:25 |
| zeenix | Jaffa: check `gitk` | 15:25 |
| Jaffa | zeenix: oh, I'm sure it does - but lack of merge tracking was a big problem with svn for long running branches which are due for merge to the trunk at a later date. | 15:25 |
| zeenix | Jaffa: there are lots of problems with svn, lets not go there :) | 15:26 |
| Jaffa | There are lots of problems with everything | 15:26 |
| zeenix | i think people who still ask `what's wrong with svn` have been living under a rock | 15:26 |
| jamey | local commits are really useful. I like git more and more, even when the repository I'm working against is svn. | 15:27 |
| w00t | git is much, much nicer, and I say that as someone who used SVN for 5 years before moving to git under a year ago | 15:28 |
| jamey | git-rebase --interactive is also very powerful -- so you can rearrange and combine those local commits before pushing them upstream. | 15:28 |
| Jaffa | fiar enough | 15:28 |
| zeenix | yeah, unfortunately the boring dudes who only work in their offices don't understand the value of local commits | 15:28 |
| * jamey is a boring dude who does most of his work in his office but still likes local commits. :) | 15:29 | |
| *** pupnik_ has joined #maemo | 15:29 | |
| Jaffa | And developers go off on some techno-wankery to push out new tools and changes to a stable system when there's been no community push for it. | 15:29 |
| w00t | being able to create multiple copies of the repository for different patchsets is also useful | 15:29 |
| w00t | (if branches aren't suitable) | 15:29 |
| Jaffa | w00t: yeah, that's very useful | 15:30 |
| *** ToyKeeper has quit IRC | 15:30 | |
| jamey | has anyone here tried QGraphicsScene on the N810? | 15:30 |
| Jaffa | zeenix: perhaps you should be careful about using phrases like "boring dudes" and "don't understand"; since I'm like jamey. | 15:31 |
| zeenix | also, git (or any DCVS i know of) doesn't stop you from having more or less the same workflow you had with svn if you still insist on sticking with old technology | 15:31 |
| zeenix | Jaffa: i didn't mean you or anyone in particular | 15:31 |
| w00t | zeenix: yeah, you can use any workflow you like instead of being *forced* into one particular box | 15:31 |

| Jaffa | BrentDC: indeed, most apps probably not. I imagine there's similar stuff though to what Symbian and Maemo have/are getting. Widgets? What did Nokia call them? You could scale that up to full-size apps reasonably well | 22:40 |

| *** Grackle has quit IRC | 22:41 | |
| BrentDC | Although CSS/Javascript can layout an application, those apps look far too "rich". | 22:42 |
| lcuk | as long as the XHTML/CSS renderer can do things quickly you can script all the actions entirely and not know or care whats under it | 22:42 |
| RST38h | lcuk: js and css are both memory and cpu intensive | 22:42 |

| RST38h | BrentDC: It is all fakeable in JS/CSS given some minor and straightforward enhancements like alpha channel support for images | 22:43 |
| lcuk | its just a few pages with dynamic stuff, they havent got the res to do much more | 22:43 |

| lcuk | RST38h, come on, you know yourself you can code in a dirty wasteful manner or you can do things carefully and cleanly | 22:45 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Badly written C can slow down an 80x86, your point? | 22:45 |
| lcuk | heh | 22:45 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: Yes, but JS/CSS is much easier to screw up. Way, way easier | 22:46 |
| lcuk | but this is a tiny tiny screen | 22:46 |
| lcuk | not much is capable of happening | 22:46 |
| RST38h | Of course, "one can write fortran in any language", but some are more than the others :) | 22:46 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: I still don't see your point. You're saying noone would ever suggest using JS/CSS for a way of writing simple apps on their device, because it's easy for a crap developer to screw it up? | 22:46 |
| doc|home | RST38h: they make writing scripts easier too :) | 22:46 |
| wazd | The point is Omap3 will eat a lot less power to render such smooth UI than current CPU | 22:46 |
| RST38h | doc: Yep, true | 22:46 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Except, to some extent, Apple, Google, Palm and Nokia are all encouraging that. | 22:47 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: My point is that your average js/css app will be more wasteful than your average C/C++ app of the same functionality | 22:47 |
| *** hellwolf has joined #maemo | 22:47 | |
| wazd | you can't do UI if it's eating 100% of CPU time, like apple did | 22:47 |
| *** danilocesar has joined #maemo | 22:47 | |
| lcuk | and the same is true for asm apps | 22:47 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: They do, they do, but how many serious js/css apps have you seen? iPhone devs plainly refused to write "web apps" | 22:47 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: And jailbroke their devices | 22:48 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: yes, JS apps are harder to execute but run within a "richer" and "more easy-to-use" environment. | 22:48 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: does not matter to a user if it slows down to a crawl | 22:48 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Well, except lots *did* write iPhone web apps, and that wasn't the offline version we're positing here. | 22:48 |
| wazd | So, what's with Maemo.org?) | 22:49 |
| RST38h | Lots? mmm...maybe a dozen or so, unless I am missing something | 22:49 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Well, duh. I'm still trying to understand your point? | 22:49 |
| RST38h | wazd: Nice design. Probably won't be used. | 22:49 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: I directly stated my point above. | 22:49 |
| *** rangaparmastan has joined #maemo | 22:49 | |
| wazd | Should I make an awful one to be used?) | 22:49 |
| Jaffa | That JavaScript apps are slower than an equivalent C app (assuming the absence of intelligent, adaptive JITs). | 22:49 |
| Jaffa | Who's arguing with that? | 22:49 |
| RST38h | wazd: No, it is just that maemo.org guys seem to be almost done with the new design (judging from their messages) and they won't change it any time soon | 22:50 |
| Jaffa | That doesn't mean that some companies aren't trying to make it easier to move Web technologies to desktops/devices to write fully-functional, offline, full-blown applications. | 22:50 |
| lcuk | actually, depending on the library cant you breakeven - ie nice fast c/asm based UI lib and scripted app engine | 22:50 |
| Jaffa | And that for a notepad-type app, there's no reason that couldn't be done in JavaScript, taking advantage of rich UI and persistence libraries | 22:51 |
| lcuk | it was the reason visual basic worked ;) | 22:51 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: You are going into some high level sociopoliticallyeconomic conclusions | 22:51 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: But the point is much simpler | 22:51 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: The point is that in an embedded device, you do not want to slow yourself down with all this glue. | 22:51 |
| RST38h | EVEN if it is possible to skate on it somehow, if you know the right moves. | 22:51 |
| Jaffa | Who is this "you"? The *makers* of these devices are suggesting using JavaScript. | 22:52 |
| Stslaptop | wazd: so how long time in advance did you write your blog posts/designs? if you came up with a new one each day, that's impressive :) | 22:52 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: But not using it themselves very activaly, are they? :) | 22:52 |
| Jaffa | Is this just an updated version of your "Android sucks because it uses Java, a bytecode-based device will never be successful because you can't write a video player from scratch" argument? Or even the same one. | 22:52 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: Let us call it a generalized version | 22:53 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Who knows, we haven't seen how the pre's OS is put together (although it's probably using "Web OS" as marketing and because it's designed to operate always-on, sharing data between services and using cloud-computing resources to manage your data) | 22:53 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: But of course, you are free to believe what you wish and a good step in advancing your belief into the masses would be to create a nice lightweight JavaScript environment for NITs | 22:53 |
| wazd | Stslaptop: well, 4 of them I had in sketches already. Others were been made each day :) | 22:54 |

| Jaffa | RST38h: What, like Nokia are (supposedly) doing? | 22:55 |
| * Jaffa isn't arguing from a position of personal belief, just observation. | 22:55 | |
| lcuk | RST38h, if you could use your emulib to load and manage the graphical assets but give a nice easy to use scripting (python?) manager would it be a serious amount slower/less efficient than currently? | 22:55 |
| wazd | I'm trying to learn Flash to make some "active" mockups | 22:55 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: But I am also arguing based on observation really. I am just taking a dimmer, more realistic view of reality | 22:55 |
| RST38h | lcuk: Dunno. EMULib is really skin deep and won't be of much use like this | 22:56 |
| RST38h | lcuk: If you mean, use hw components emulation from EMULib and write missing hw emulation in Python, then it will be slow, sorry | 22:56 |
| lcuk | was just an example, my libliqbase has graphics and sketches and drawing tools and im thinking of putting a python front end on it to allow rapid prototyping/dev | 22:57 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: How many apps are in the Android app store compared with downloads.maemo.org? Based on your generalised argument, and your definition of "success", the former number should be lower (perhaps by an order of magnitude or two) | 22:57 |
| lcuk | it should be just as fast at drawing but a much lower level of entry | 22:57 |
| RST38h | lcuk: That will prbably work, just don't forget about creating actual apps :) | 22:57 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: You took two arbitrary and different devices for comparison | 22:58 |
| *** t_s_o has quit IRC | 22:58 | |
| *** setanta has quit IRC | 22:58 | |
| RST38h | Jaffa: please, compare S60 vs Android, WinMobile vs Android, or iPhone vs Android, ok? | 22:58 |
| *** Meiz_n810 has joined #maemo | 22:58 | |
| lcuk | RST38h, of course, im writing the lib so its logical to build from | 22:58 |
| *** setanta has joined #maemo | 22:58 | |
| *** mgedmin has joined #maemo | 22:59 | |
| lcuk | i wouldnt be doing it otherwise, the python bit will come as a natural extension of the hopefully sane api | 22:59 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: also, the number of apps may not be an indication of anything. The number of j2me apps is humongous for example | 22:59 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: 99% of them are shite though | 22:59 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: What, you mean I *can't* generalise one bytecode-based device against another arbitrary non-bytecode based device? And yet, the other way round is fine? | 22:59 |
| lcuk | RST38h, thats perfect though | 22:59 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: When you compare, you should compare similar devices and similar marketplaces | 22:59 |
| wazd | omg, sprint has already launched flash-ads with Pre | 22:59 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: Since when did "success" include quality? Most of the output of the X Factor finalist is shit, but it's still successful. | 23:00 |
| RST38h | AdBlock to the rescue :) | 23:00 |
| *** wms has quit IRC | 23:00 | |
| lcuk | heh, adblock the UI :D | 23:00 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: Well, that is why you need to do comparisons correctly | 23:00 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: You want really similar markets, and you probably need more than two | 23:01 |
| Stslaptop | Meiz_n810: can i see your /var/log files from Mer at some point? | 23:02 |
| RST38h | And if 99% of android apps are Tetris clones, for example, or social network clients, you probably want to group | 23:02 |
| lcuk | RST38h, btw im already porting the liqbase original apps to the new library and can get on with extending soon | 23:02 |
| *** sp3001 has quit IRC | 23:02 | |
| *** TheFatal is now known as TheFatal^Away | 23:02 | |
| RST38h | lcuk: It may be nice to implement all the apps in pure Python | 23:02 |
| RST38h | lcuk: Unless they load for 40 seconds like Canola does of course :) (but Canola is doing some extra checking, according to handful and that takes time) | 23:03 |
| lcuk | I might just do that one day, but its not a priority right now | 23:03 |
| Jaffa | python-launcher should help with startup time | 23:03 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: It does not | 23:03 |
| lcuk | and why should a python app take 40 seconds to start? | 23:03 |
| lcuk | though granted most apps take a horrid length of time | 23:04 |
| wazd | The whole disappointment was the Pandora's UI. OMAP3 and old-skool win95 style, oh my( | 23:04 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: Apparently, Canola spends most of its loading time dynamically loading Python modules and checking their versions | 23:04 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: python-launcher can't predict that :) | 23:04 |
| mgedmin | python has this suboptimal imperative execution model | 23:04 |
| RST38h | wazd: Expecting *anything* from Pandora isn't a good idea | 23:04 |
| mgedmin | you don't load modules, you execute code that creates classes and functions at runtime | 23:04 |
| mgedmin | hence, not a lot of opportunity for caching | 23:05 |
| Stslaptop | wazd: heh, 10 bucks they'd be on Mer on pandora like banana flies on a garbage bag in the sun.. :P | 23:05 |
| Jaffa | RST38h: I meant for lcuk's apps | 23:05 |
| mgedmin | and multiple python processes can't share the code | 23:05 |
| RST38h | Jaffa: depends on how they are written I guess...A lot of Python apps start up "instantly" for me, even without py-launcher | 23:05 |
| *** b-man has joined #maemo | 23:05 | |
| Jaffa | wazd: That's just the default Matchbox stuff. And given they can't seem to get a case, who'd've spent time cooking up a whole new Linux mobile UI, which no-one had seen before. | 23:05 |
| lcuk | jaffa, depends which way round i decide to do it - make liqbase a standard library, or allow python fragments from within | 23:05 |
| Stslaptop | b-man: status? | 23:06 |
| mgedmin | hi, lcuk | 23:06 |
| RST38h | lcuk: Here is an idea: | 23:06 |
| lcuk | hiya marius :) did you have a good xmas and new year? | 23:06 |
| RST38h | lcuk: Forget Python for now. Make a REALLY NICE high level C++ lib | 23:06 |
| *** punkass has quit IRC | 23:06 | |
| lcuk | no, really nice low level c lib for talking to the screen, an intermediate lib for UI and whatever ontop. if i use C++ i lose flexibility | 23:07 |
| RST38h | lcuk: It is actually a difficult design task: you want to design an API so, that 90% of apps can be coded in C++ almost like if it were a scripting language | 23:07 |
| *** bergie has joined #maemo | 23:07 | |
| b-man | I'm working on getting a fuew minor bugs worked out | 23:07 |
| Stslaptop | b-man: alright, like? | 23:08 |
| RST38h | lcuk: Just provide alternative C API, not a big deal | 23:08 |
| lcuk | why do work twice? just write it in C where im happy and the compiler is happy on device and then its usable everywhere :) | 23:08 |
| RST38h | lcuk: The C functions will of course look more cumbersome and take an extra pointer, ut so what | 23:08 |
| RST38h | lcuk: It is not doing the work twice really | 23:08 |
| lcuk | it is since ive already got a shed load of the code and a workflow all sorted | 23:08 |
| lcuk | i have targets | 23:09 |
| * lcuk is behind though :S | 23:09 | |
| *** kimitake__ has quit IRC | 23:09 | |

| Stslaptop | b-man: you used wifi-radar or what before? | 23:17 |
| b-man | yes | 23:17 |
| Stslaptop | JarodTLG: have you tried turning it off and on? | 23:17 |
| *** lubyou has joined #maemo | 23:17 | |

| lcuk | hold down ctrl alt delete | 23:17 |
| Stslaptop | b-man: even on Mer? | 23:17 |
| wazd | have you tried turning it just on?) | 23:17 |
| JarodTLG | the menu is gone, i can click the icon, and it shows up, but theres no applications or anything | 23:17 |
| JarodTLG | and yea, i tried rebooting | 23:18 |
| lcuk | all menu items gone? or are some there? | 23:18 |
| wazd | Have you installed something like Personal Menu? | 23:18 |
| JarodTLG | i cloned the os to the memory card, so i can boot off the internal and try to fix it | 23:18 |
| b-man | Stslaptop: i have not tryed it in mer yet, but i'm shure it will work | 23:18 |
| *** setanta has quit IRC | 23:18 | |
| JarodTLG | nope, didnt install personal menu, everything is gone, no categorys, no icons, just a grey box | 23:19 |
| Stslaptop | b-man: feel free to try it :) we had issues with it earlier | 23:19 |
| Stslaptop | .. because we have a broken pygtk atm | 23:19 |
| JarodTLG | its been ok for a long time off the card, just last night it crapped out on me | 23:19 |
| lcuk | JarodTLG, check the contents of "/home/user/.osso/menus/applications.menu" | 23:19 |
| b-man | hehe | 23:19 |
| qwerty12_N800 | cp /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu /home/user/.osso/menus/ | 23:19 |
| lcuk | :O omg i beat qwerty to posting something linuxy :D | 23:20 |
| lcuk | (i *only* know that because i needed to parse it to read the menu structures ;) | 23:20 |
| * qwerty12_N800 awards lcuk with the linux northerner noobs award :p | 23:20 | |
| JarodTLG | looks like a bunch of gibberish, not a normal menu or xml type file | 23:20 |
| JarodTLG | starts out ^B)q^A(U | 23:21 |
| lcuk | its meant to be xml | 23:21 |
| JarodTLG | then goes oncover_path^BU^Y/home/user/.canola/conversq^CU^Mdown | 23:21 |
| JarodTLG | not xml, or vi doesnt understand xml | 23:22 |
| lcuk | to my untrained eye that looks more like old fashioned crosslinked files | 23:22 |
| JarodTLG | on a unrelated note, how do you quit vi :) | 23:23 |
| lcuk | is anything else dodgy or do you recall an event which started this off | 23:23 |
| qwerty12_N800 | :q | 23:23 |
| JarodTLG | yea, its no xml file, canola stopped working after a stupid move i made, installed beta10 by accident, which is broken | 23:23 |
| JarodTLG | and i had to use the installation cleanup tool to fix it. | 23:24 |
| JarodTLG | the menu still worked for a while tho | 23:24 |
| JarodTLG | because i checked and rolling back to canola2 beta9 fixed the not playing problem | 23:24 |

| lcuk | wazd, btw, now you have seen a glimmer of my example usage for the icons, do you understand why i was very interested in ensuring they scaled well | 23:44 |
| wazd | lcuk: yep, but. Icons are made for special resolutions. | 23:46 |
| wazd | They can't be resized properly to other reses | 23:47 |

| mgedmin | SVG icons scale up to devices with high resolutions | 23:48 |
| mgedmin | not so well to devices with low resolutions where you can actually see the pixels | 23:48 |
| mgedmin | those need fine-tuning | 23:48 |
| wazd | Minimalistic design is not very eye0catching | 23:48 |
| lcuk | but the world exists in multiple scales | 23:48 |

| wazd | For now, vector icons are useless for mobile UI's, cause on a mobile device the main factor is CPU load, which affects battery life and responsivity | 23:51 |
| lcuk | heh | 23:51 |
| * mgedmin was floored when he first saw that one | 23:52 | |
| lcuk | wazd, i can draw vector graphics faster and in a more battery efficient way than scaling a bitmap | 23:52 |
| *** JussiP has joined #maemo | 23:52 | |

| RST38h | wazd: So, no, not useless | 23:52 |

| wazd | RST38h: do I really need infinite scaling?) | 23:58 |
| lcuk | and anyway - i see that more as a widget :: a live image in the background owuld be better | 23:58 |
| RST38h | wazd: Well, you need 3-4 sizes, most of the time | 23:58 |
| RST38h | wazd: Doing them by hang is damn cumbersome though | 23:58 |
| wazd | RST38h: iPhone, for example, needs 2. Standart and superlarge (for iTunes Store) | 23:58 |
| wazd | So basicaly only one | 23:59 |
| RST38h | That is iPhone | 23:59 |
| RST38h | S60 needs 3 | 23:59 |
| RST38h | Maemo needs 3. | 23:59 |
| wazd | Quallity of UI affects on how many different icons you need | 23:59 |
| RST38h | Windows is ok with 2, but I guess looks better with 4-5 | 23:59 |
