GeneralAntilles | jaem, sipphone.com is a better VoIP solution if you don't have a lot of other people using Skype. | 02:25 |
GeneralAntilles | Open standards. | 02:25 |
*** chx_afk is now known as chx | 02:26 | |
jaem | GeneralAntilles: I fully agree on the Open Standards part, but I do have a bunch of Skype contacts, and although some of them would be sympathetic to that point, their contacts may not | 02:26 |
jaem | does sipphone.com have cheap calling to real phones? | 02:26 |
GAN800 | jaem, marginally cheaper than Skype. | 02:29 |
GAN800 | You can use rtcomm which is a big plus. | 02:29 |
jaem | yeah, that's what I was thinking | 02:29 |
jaem | when you say cheaper, are you referring to per-minute billing, or do they have subscriptions, too? | 02:30 |
GAN800 | Per-minute | 02:30 |
jaem | darn | 02:30 |
jaem | that's out, then | 02:30 |
GAN800 | Don't think they have subscriptions but I'm not sure. | 02:30 |
jaem | I already pay too much for my cell, and I can only afford Skype as well because of the subscriptions | 02:30 |
GAN800 | You use that many minutes? | 02:31 |
*** benh has joined #maemo | 02:31 | |
jaem | I use enough on average that it's still significantly cheaper | 02:31 |
GAN800 | Ah | 02:31 |
jaem | but nowhere near the 10,000 minute/month limit | 02:31 |
jaem | what I had thought of doing was setting one of the unlimited calling numbers on my cell (plan feature) to my dorm landline, and then routing calls through Skype | 02:32 |

jaem | gah - my touchpad is acting up | 02:44 |
jaem | conveniently, this laptop is technically on loan, so if it is actually borked, I won't have to pay for a replacement | 02:45 |
jaem | I've been discussing Todo apps over at #tasque on irc.gnome.org... I haven't found anything yet that I like | 02:47 |
jaem | DoneIt for maemo seems promising | 02:47 |
jaem | but DoneIt isn't Done | 02:47 |
kfx | I've been banging my head against finding useful groupware that can sync with maemo apps | 02:47 |
kfx | almost got it working with funambol+citadel and the pimlico apps | 02:48 |
kfx | ...but not reliably or well :/ | 02:48 |
*** stv0 has joined #maemo | 02:48 | |
jaem | hrm | 02:48 |
jaem | Pimlico is pretty barebones...] | 02:48 |
jaem | otherwise it would be okay | 02:48 |
jaem | but the calendar app can't even do repeating events :S | 02:49 |
jaem | is development on Pimlico still happening? | 02:49 |
kfx | no idea | 02:49 |
kfx | I can't find a whole lot that's been worked on in a year or two | 02:49 |
kfx | I'd use gpe if it integrated at all with anything else on the device | 02:50 |
jaem | same here | 02:50 |
jaem | but it just doesn't | 02:50 |
kfx | on the other hand, pimlico stuff is GPL | 02:50 |
jaem | there are so many PIM suites out there, and aside from a few desktop-oriented suites, and a few individual programs, everything seems half-finished, abandoned, or just not what I'm looking for | 02:51 |
jaem | kfx: true, but I'm not up to that atm | 02:51 |
kfx | jaem: neither am I but I'm getting there fast | 02:51 |
jaem | I learned coding on useless languages of the MS variety, and haven't had nearly enough experience with anything else to do much on Linux yet | 02:52 |
kfx | I'll probably wrench calendar source out of jpilot and cram it into dates | 02:52 |
jaem | speaking of, I need to get some studying done in that area ;) | 02:52 |
kfx | then make the sync backend speak something more modern, like ical 2.0 | 02:52 |

jaem_N810 | that has advantages ;) | 03:28 |
kkrusty | zutun doesnt install and Doneit doesnt run | 03:29 |
jaem_N810 | now we need *distributed* recursive bogosort | 03:29 |
kkrusty | anyone? | 03:30 |
jaem_N810 | so that people all over the world can help us reach the ultimate goal of sorting a 100-element array before the universe ends | 03:30 |
jaem_N810 | okay, that number was pulled out of thin air, but the time complexity of bogobogosort is painful | 03:30 |
samueldr | if we're lucky, the first iteration will be sorted | 03:30 |
jaem_N810 | kkrusty: DoneIt is in its early stages | 03:32 |
jaem_N810 | hence it being in extras-devel | 03:32 |
jaem_N810 | aside from those two, I think there is an app that allows task entry only on the Garage, but I can't think of the name | 03:32 |

thux | i red about some .fi student who got 30.000e via iphone app store | 08:56 |
thux | he said that iphone apps is much easier to do than symbian app is it true? | 08:57 |
Stskeeps | symbian development is similar to poking your eyes out, so i guess anything's better.. | 08:57 |
Stskeeps | :P | 08:57 |
thux | hehe | 08:58 |
Macer | haha | 08:58 |
thux | also apple takes apps from private persons | 08:58 |
Macer | they take apps from private persons? :) | 08:59 |
thux | nokia doesn't he said | 08:59 |
thux | with nokia you had to have company | 08:59 |
Macer | like a job that takes all things made by employees as their own "proprietary" stuff? | 08:59 |
Macer | i hate it when tv shows get military things wrong | 09:00 |

thux | this same guy also complaint that n5800 doesn't have 3d accel | 09:01 |

RST38h | creating a company isn't a big deal | 09:02 |

liri | canola2 beta from the repos isn't working well for me (it hangs while playing an mp3). where should I find (in which repos) a stable version maybe? | 09:03 |
thux | you have to pay taxes and such | 09:03 |
RST38h | Few hundred bucks and you have got a nice Delaware-registered company | 09:03 |

liri | RST38h: how do I re-install it? (just to remove, then install or is there a quicker way?) | 09:05 |
RST38h | thux: So, you have got yourself an international company | 09:05 |
RST38h | thux: As I said, registration related stuff is just a few hundred bucks | 09:05 |
RST38h | liri: You install it with app manager (make sure you remove extras-devel from the list) | 09:05 |
thux | RST38h: no not me, but know people who have them in jersey or gibraltar | 09:05 |
RST38h | liri: You remove it with canola-cleanup | 09:05 |
*** sphenxes has joined #maemo | 09:06 | |
RST38h | thux: Company that isn't making money costs you next to nothing | 09:06 |
RST38h | thux: So, register one wherever it is cheap and does not incur annual costs, then present yourself to Nokia as a company | 09:06 |
liri | RST38h: ok. doesn't look like I have that canola-cleanup script | 09:06 |
RST38h | liri: Extras. | 09:06 |
liri | RST38h: I have canola, canolad and canola-thumbnailer | 09:07 |
liri | RST38h: a sec | 09:07 |
thux | RST38h: but you need offshore bank accounts and such and these app developers try to make money | 09:07 |
liri | RST38h: I have extras enabled | 09:08 |
RST38h | thux: No. | 09:09 |
RST38h | thux: Although you can probably just open one in a US bank, it won't cost you | 09:09 |

thux | i just red the story from newspaper and it said so | 09:17 |

lbt | dneary: hi... | 13:22 |
Stskeeps | Macer: how come? | 13:22 |
lbt | did you see my WikiTalk email? | 13:23 |
dneary | hi lbt | 13:25 |
dneary | Yeah - I'm going to be jumping into that thread this morning | 13:25 |
dneary | lbt: Nice idea | 13:25 |
dneary | I would be wary of things like navigation - where do new pages get linked from? Will we get a lot of new pages? | 13:26 |
lbt | Oh, it has the potential to create a real mess! | 13:26 |
dneary | We'd also need to be aware of editing issues - how to deal with duplicates? Merge articles? Indicate that an article had already been wikified? | 13:26 |
lbt | yes... I mentioned some of those problems | 13:26 |
lbt | and there are more | 13:26 |
dneary | indeed | 13:26 |
lbt | OTOH I think it may motivate the sifting | 13:27 |
lbt | and things like automating some tags | 13:27 |
lbt | and strongly suggesting a process | 13:27 |
lbt | should help | 13:27 |
lbt | eg 'forcing' a search before allowing a page to be auto-made | 13:28 |
lbt | it's a balance | 13:28 |
lbt | heh - strongly driven by my distaste for forums as an information store!! | 13:28 |
Jaffa | Ditto | 13:29 |
* lbt wonders if he should approach IBM to patent the idea... | 13:32 | |
lcuk | forums are good for testing and feedback and perhaps the "wikify me" button shouldnt actually make a wiki entry, but should flag a post as potential, if we have an interface to list them they can be organised as required | 13:38 |
Jaffa | Sounds good | 13:39 |
Jaffa | The flag could be a "wikiteam" tag | 13:39 |
lcuk | also, people happy with forum syntax arent always happy with wiki syntax | 13:39 |
lcuk | (like me, i can write a simple post, but dont know the first thing about wiki organisation or special things required or layout etc, and tbh dont ever want to have to know | 13:40 |
* lcuk has enough tihngso n his plate | 13:40 | |
lcuk | jaffa, sounds simple enough, but would users know to tag something with that | 13:42 |
lcuk | or will this be a button which behyind the scenes set it (simplest really?) | 13:43 |
Jaffa | lcuk: I was imagining the latter - but I've not been following lbt's comments too closely | 13:44 |
Macer | a marine caught in the middle of a family fued in a hillbilly romeo and juliet | 13:44 |
Macer | lol | 13:44 |
Macer | that damn hollywood can come up with anything! | 13:44 |
lcuk | jaffa, ditto, but i came across something over the weekend which seems to fit the bill between something that should be wikified but my fear of the wiki kicked in | 13:45 |
* lbt has an all-singing proposal.... everything said here makes sense insofar as it's all in the same direction | 13:45 | |
lcuk | good lbt :) | 13:45 |
RST38h | macer: what is the body count so far? | 13:45 |
lbt | at some point we stop refining/automating it | 13:45 |
lcuk | awww lbt, but that takes time away from our important pontification | 13:46 |
lbt | adding wikiteam tags is a good start thoug | 13:46 |
lbt | I would say that I was thinking of a thread-based approach | 13:46 |
lbt | where the entire thread was dumped into a page | 13:46 |
lcuk | seems reasonanle | 13:46 |
lbt | and then slashed back ruthlessly | 13:47 |
lbt | that's actually *really hard* to do today (AFAIK) | 13:47 |

pupnik | to understand iphone, think of pop music stars | 14:06 |
pupnik | you solidly hit a lowest-common denominator. some luck involved. mostly marketing. and then you get a feedback cycle in popularity. | 14:06 |
RST38h | Somehow, I do not think that iPhone qualifies for this theory | 14:07 |
pupnik | yes, i could be wrong on this | 14:07 |
RST38h | Funny think is, I do not really know what would qualify for this theory. Feature phones? | 14:09 |

pupnik | i persuaded my employer to buy one, but i didn't deliver on the promised software... so argh. | 14:15 |
pupnik | wanted to use the dsp for accelerated gene-homology searches | 14:15 |
pupnik | back in the day | 14:15 |
pupnik | they had a nice fractal browser running on the dsp | 14:15 |
RST38h | Using NeXT for anything custom wasn't a good idea, it was more or less like a standard Mac | 14:16 |

aspect | is there a way to get os2008 to be verbose on boot? | 15:05 |
jeremiah | aspect: There should be, and I should know it, but I don't. | 15:06 |
jeremiah | Some one here will know though. | 15:06 |
aspect | I have a recurring problem where it sits on the nokia screen with the blue bar at 100% for indeterminate lengths of time, apparently related to trouble reading the vfat on an mmc .. would be nice to have some indication of what's going on | 15:06 |
jeremiah | aspect: Does it boot? | 15:06 |
jeremiah | Can you read the logs? | 15:06 |
aspect | nope, just sits there until I get impatient and remove the battery | 15:07 |
aspect | I didn't think any useful logs would be kept persistently in that instance | 15:07 |
jeremiah | Yeah, not sure they would be. | 15:07 |
jeremiah | So you cannot boot at all? | 15:08 |
jeremiah | You may need to re-flash you OS. | 15:08 |
aspect | once I remove the sd card, it boots fine | 15:08 |
jeremiah | aspect: Ah, okay. | 15:08 |
jeremiah | Good | 15:08 |
pupnik | the samsung cheapo mp3 players now use linux + sdl | 15:08 |
pupnik | love how the GPL forces them to disclose that | 15:09 |
aspect | and putting the sd card in my laptop and fsck'ing has fixed it in the past .. but it keeps reocurring | 15:09 |
lcuk | new card? | 15:09 |
aquatix | and using another card? | 15:09 |
aspect | old card | 15:09 |
*** alecrim has joined #maemo | 15:09 | |
aspect | quite old; it came with my 2nd hand n800 about 6 months ago | 15:09 |
lcuk | try it with a different card | 15:10 |
lcuk | if that works, throw away the old one and move on | 15:10 |
lcuk | you have already identified the problem lol | 15:10 |
aspect | righto | 15:10 |
jeremiah | lcuk: Do those flash cards die often? | 15:10 |
jeremiah | I haven't had that yet happen to me. | 15:11 |
aspect | the laptop hasn't had any issues reading the card, and someone else mentioned a vfat related issue, so I thought it might be that | 15:11 |
jeremiah | But I don't use a lot of them. | 15:11 |
jeremiah | And, your original question aspect was getting boot info from the maemo. Does anyone know how to turn off the Nokia boot image so one can see dmesg info? | 15:12 |
* aspect ordered a new card ~3 weeks ago but the damn retailer screwed up delivery so it's not here yet | 15:12 | |
RST38h | jeremiah: they do die every now and then | 15:13 |
RST38h | jeremiah: but you usually do not see it as the card remaps its blocks internally to avoid immediate FAIL | 15:13 |
jeremiah | RST38h: Aha. Kinda clever. :) | 15:13 |
* aquatix should get a 32GB microsd | 15:14 | |
aquatix | that'd be... spacy | 15:14 |
aspect | 8GB is still the decent price point here .. fortunately the n800 can take 2 :) | 15:15 |
*** lizardo has joined #maemo | 15:15 | |

*** fysa has joined #maemo | 15:18 | |
aspect | right, just retested: laptop can read the sd card without issues, but even after fsck'ing the nit has the same boot problem: is this an indication of a problem with the card that the laptop's tolerant to but not the nit? | 15:20 |
*** fysa has quit IRC | 15:21 | |
aquatix | might be | 15:22 |
aquatix | maybe just a matter of the laptop having more power for the reader | 15:23 |
aquatix | you don't have another SD card to test with? | 15:23 |
*** bergie has quit IRC | 15:23 | |
aspect | makes sense | 15:23 |
*** Cwiiis has joined #maemo | 15:24 | |
aspect | only one other, but this card went from problematic to fine after a reformat previously so I thought it might be on the fs level. Given how it's behaving now I guess not | 15:24 |

*** secureendpoints_ has joined #maemo | 15:27 | |
aspect | RST38h: yes ... I just chucked it in the external mini slot and we're booted ... I was having problems in the external slot before reformatting though | 15:28 |
RST38h | all right | 15:29 |
aspect | I also use the converter to mount the card in the laptop, if that makes any difference | 15:29 |
RST38h | then 70% probability that it is the converter | 15:30 |
RST38h | N810 is for some reason very sensitive to the converter type | 15:30 |
aspect | hmm | 15:31 |
aspect | it's an n800, and that convertor has been used with the other card without issue since I've had the tablet | 15:31 |
aquatix | the card itself is a minisd? or microsd? | 15:31 |
aspect | mini | 15:31 |

luke-jr | no more than it already does | 20:56 |
timeless_mbp | nah | 20:56 |
timeless_mbp | this way no one sees it unless the app is "special" | 20:56 |
timeless_mbp | instead of confusing all the non English speakers | 20:56 |
timeless_mbp | it is arguably better for the ecosystem | 20:56 |
timeless_mbp | i'm not saying it's right | 20:56 |
timeless_mbp | or actually defending it | 20:56 |
timeless_mbp | (i mostly think it's stupid) | 20:57 |

RST38h | andrew: Well, aside from that 100kB thing, my comments are somewhere at page #2 | 21:11 |
lcuk | andrewfblack, surely the answer to that is because theres no wifi everywhere | 21:11 |
RST38h | andrew: I think the main screen needs some separators between items. Nothing fancy, just thin lines | 21:11 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: what name do you post in t.m.o on? | 21:12 |
RST38h | andrew: I think the top menu is way larger than necessary, making it in normally sized, bold font on a differently colored background will do the job | 21:12 |
RST38h | andrew: fms | 21:12 |
RST38h | andrew: The result will look like a thin light-colored menubar | 21:13 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: ahh I like you better in chat room :) | 21:13 |
andrewfblack | most people want finger clickable menu bar though | 21:13 |
RST38h | andrew: In forum, I basically try to systemize comments, that is why it is somewhat impersonal | 21:13 |
RST38h | andrew: weirdly, it will still be finger clickable, as the menu items are elongated | 21:14 |

*** zimmerle has joined #maemo | 21:14 | |
andrewfblack | RST38h: on the main screen seporators you want lines between each category or each sub forum as well? | 21:15 |
RST38h | andrew: I would use thin 1-pixel borders around categories and thin lines between subforums | 21:15 |
RST38h | andrew: may show category name on a slightly lighter background | 21:16 |
andrewfblack | I will give it a try I was asked by some people to removed the colored backgrounds behind them at first but I think lines will work ok | 21:16 |
RST38h | andrew: see comment #5 in the thread | 21:16 |
*** qgil has joined #maemo | 21:16 | |
RST38h | as long as there are some separators (whatever they are), the whole page should look much better IMHO | 21:16 |
andrewfblack | yeah I remember your post now just didn't know it was you | 21:17 |
RST38h | andrew: UserCP just needs to be a normal vertical menu, really | 21:17 |
qgil | hi andrewfblack, thanks for the good work! | 21:17 |
RST38h | Has got lots of long options, no reason trying to make it horizontal | 21:17 |
qgil | GAN8001: ping? | 21:17 |
andrewfblack | I agree on that point I was just trying to keep people from complaining about wasted space | 21:18 |
andrewfblack | qgil: thanks | 21:18 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: or scrolling | 21:18 |
napsy | Hm it seems my internal mmc2 memory is read only. Can I remount it? | 21:18 |
RST38h | andrew: it is usercp, people visit it rarely | 21:19 |
qgil | any user of Advanced Backlight? | 21:19 |
RST38h | napsy: I suggest you read about The Bug first | 21:19 |
RST38h | qgil: yes, what? | 21:19 |
napsy | It's a bug? | 21:19 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: I figure more people will use it now on minimalist then any other theme since its more of a link hub now then a user cp | 21:19 |
Stskeeps | <- user too | 21:20 |
qgil | is AB playing with the light sensor as well or just with the % defined by the user? | 21:20 |
RST38h | napsy: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=18043 | 21:20 |
RST38h | qgil: I *think* it is fixed | 21:20 |
qgil | RST38h: the thing is, we initially took the action of having a full slider to define the brightness, just like the volume | 21:21 |
RST38h | andrew: just put subscribed threads link on top :) | 21:21 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: the size part there really isn't anymore code I can strip away without removing features. | 21:21 |
RST38h | andrew: can I have that js file? =) | 21:21 |
qgil | however, the tests show that is quite complex to play with 0-100% + light sensor in a meaningful way | 21:21 |
andrewfblack | there is js in all the theme template files | 21:21 |
RST38h | qgil: maybe a checkbox "Auto" is the answer? | 21:22 |
qgil | RST38h: so this is why I was wondering how AB does it, with or without light sensor, because then the calibration is more complex | 21:22 |
qgil | RST38h: "Auto" what? :) | 21:22 |
lcuk | rm_you, wakey wakey, qgil wants you | 21:22 |

lcuk | \o | 21:23 |
qgil | rm_you: please read above my comments about AB + light sensor | 21:23 |
andrewfblack | qgil: think nokia can send me a new s60 phone to design a t.m.o mobile theme on :) | 21:23 |
lcuk | heh afb | 21:23 |
qgil | andrewfblack: Nokia is sending you something better than a S60 phone: a real betatester ;) | 21:23 |
rm_you | ah yes | 21:23 |
andrewfblack | lcuk: can't blame a man for trying thats how i got my 770 for test stuff on | 21:23 |
rm_you | qgil: light sensor support was one of my next tasks. | 21:24 |
qgil | rm_you: then the theory is confirmed | 21:24 |
rm_you | qgil: there was quite a bit of discussion as to how we would interface in a meaningful way, yes | 21:24 |
andrewfblack | qgil: I would rather have the phone :) | 21:24 |
lcuk | no blame at all :) you are doing the community members a valuable service :) | 21:24 |
qgil | rm_you: the guys in the "light laboratory" (however they called it) | 21:24 |
qgil | said that it's not easy | 21:24 |
rm_you | qgil: what we decided was something like a "light level scheduler" i believe, or an enabled/disabled checkbox for the light sensor | 21:24 |
qgil | and they have fallen back to the 5 positions | 21:24 |
lcuk | qgil, i have covered my light sensor up with a little sticker :) | 21:25 |
lcuk | it stops the random dim changes from happening ;) | 21:25 |
qgil | now having a better calibration in steps | 21:25 |
qgil | so the lowest is really low etc | 21:25 |
lcuk | ive got some spare "im a star" and "well done" ones ;) | 21:25 |
andrewfblack | hmm now that I have everyone hooked on new minimalist I should charge for updates lol you want you bug fixed $5 each lol | 21:25 |
*** igagis has joined #maemo | 21:25 | |
rm_you | qgil: yes, the five steps would be more meaningful if they were configurable | 21:25 |
RST38h | qgil: Auto makes it control backlight with light sensor | 21:25 |
lcuk | ahhh but andrewfblack that would assume you left bugs, and a professional such as your self will make it right first time :P | 21:25 |
RST38h | qgil: When auto unchecked, it would be fixed brightness | 21:26 |
RST38h | andrew: here is something that bugs me | 21:26 |
qgil | guys, the thing is: if you find good 5 steps then the bug majority of users won't care | 21:26 |
rm_you | qgil: yes, having the ability to enable/disable light sensor control was something we thought was very important | 21:26 |
RST38h | andrew: In the original ITT, there was a "mobile" theme, very simple one, that only took 30kB per page or even less | 21:26 |
qgil | the bIg ;) | 21:26 |
andrewfblack | lcuk: I think there was one real bug so far a missing | other then that its basically preference on the look. | 21:27 |
*** trofi_ has quit IRC | 21:27 | |
RST38h | andrew: how come the new one needs 100kB of JS? Has something important changed? | 21:27 |
*** trofi has joined #maemo | 21:27 | |
qgil | I think what bug people was that the lowest leverl was still too bright, and AB had an answer for that | 21:27 |
lcuk | if the light sensor was +- 10% of the middle of a step it wouldnt matter | 21:27 |
rm_you | qgil: yes, that was the initial primary reason for the creation of AB | 21:27 |
lcuk | yeah it did, it just knocked it to minimum minimum | 21:27 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: this isn't the mobile theme I'm making, I could make a mobile theme that used that much but you would lose thanks, quick reply and some other stuff | 21:27 |
RST38h | andrew: I do not really mind losing any of that | 21:28 |
rm_you | qgil: now it is a bit more than just that, but people do still find complete and easy control with a full slider useful, I believe | 21:28 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: I have offered to do a mobile theme but I've been waiting and being selfish about it, I guess I should go ahead and do it | 21:28 |
RST38h | andrew: By all means, ask Quim - he needs to put his E71 into action :) | 21:28 |
lcuk | rm_you, the only one ive heard people really complain about is the lowest minimum, the other steps are just fluff :P | 21:28 |
rm_you | qgil: i know I would still prefer it to a five step system, though admittedly most users would probably be ok this time around if the steps were configurable | 21:28 |
qgil | andrewfblack: (((the mobile version HAD thanks and I used it a lot - nothing else though, you could strip away anything but the content))) | 21:29 |
* RST38h is actually in somewhat better state than Quim, as his phone has higher resolution | 21:29 | |
RST38h | qgil: 100% agree | 21:29 |
lcuk | ahhh,, the age old problem of defining a user interface that makes everyone happy :) | 21:29 |
qgil | rm_you: can those 5 steps be configured now even if there is no UI for it? | 21:29 |
andrewfblack | qgil: I guess I'll give up on bumming a free phone and start work on it this week | 21:30 |
rm_you | qgil: no | 21:30 |
andrewfblack | I was kinda holding mobile theme hostage for a phone lol | 21:30 |
qgil | andrewfblack: you can alway try with AB + rotation... 480px wide is a good hint :) | 21:31 |
rm_you | qgil: the main advantage of something like AB in the future of maemo (if the light team fixes the UI for the new backlight controller) is statusbar space efficiency (combining multiple functions) and rotation support | 21:31 |
qgil | rm_you: the status area is totally reshaped, rotation support is part of the system now | 21:32 |
rm_you | even if rotation support is made official in fremantle (any word on that?) it is still very much a convenient and space efficient way to control all of that, without using three different buttons for no reason | 21:32 |
lcuk | it makes sense that the 5 step ui had light levels: 10 30 50 70 90 which gave the sensor room to adjust but no way to ever get it lower than low. abl just lets you choose anything 0..100 | 21:32 |
rm_you | qgil: ok | 21:32 |
rm_you | qgil: are there screenshots or anything of the new UI area? i have been a bit out of the loop for a bit | 21:32 |
qgil | rm_you: not about the status area, but coming in the next beta release | 21:33 |
*** timeless_mbp has quit IRC | 21:33 | |
rm_you | qgil: ok, would be interesting to see how that works. any details about the reshaping that you can divulge? | 21:33 |
qgil | (if nothing weird happens, that is - aka don't quote me when I'm at home digesting my dinner) ;) | 21:33 |
rm_you | lol ok | 21:34 |
*** rsalveti has quit IRC | 21:34 | |
andrewfblack | qgil: only thing I kinda worry about doing mobile theme without a mobile is font sizes and navigation | 21:34 |
rm_you | Is the new app going to be Open or will it be part of a set of proprietary apps like the last set? | 21:35 |
qgil | rm_you: it's better that you wait and see, otherwise is like explaining a painting over the phone | 21:35 |
andrewfblack | I guess if phones are touch screen it wont matter | 21:35 |
RST38h | andrew: no touch screen in most nokia phones | 21:35 |
qgil | andrewfblack: actually you could just keep doing the minimalistic minimal, you are not far frok it imo | 21:35 |
RST38h | andrew: use default font size, do not force your own, the phone will figure it out | 21:35 |
qgil | now that there is the classic bright/dark available, why not | 21:36 |
*** L0cutus has quit IRC | 21:36 | |
rm_you | qgil: heh, alright... I suppose I will have to see how that develops... If the backlight is fully configurable in the new version, the statusbar doesn't suffer from clutter issues, and rotation support is officially built in, then I suppose my effort would be better spent fitting AB into the Mer side of things | 21:36 |
qgil | rm_you: I don't think the brightness will be user configurable, not via UI at least | 21:37 |
*** christefano1 has quit IRC | 21:37 | |
*** Sargun has joined #maemo | 21:37 | |
andrewfblack | well minimalist theme is designed for tablets over data connection its suppose to be every feature of regular site minus the images and a little better layout. Had alot of comlaints about the old minimalist missing to many options | 21:37 |
qgil | we really strive to make life simple to end users, and most of them don't care about brightness as long as it responds to their expectations | 21:37 |
*** romullo has joined #maemo | 21:37 | |
rm_you | qgil: hrm... well, you are right still, normal users probably won't be as upset if the default values of the five steps are SANE, unlike last revision | 21:37 |
qgil | and 5 steps should make happy most of us | 21:37 |
qgil | for the rest is ok if there is AB :) | 21:38 |
andrewfblack | you guys want mobile version dark or light colors? | 21:38 |
rm_you | though I would still push for the ability to set the steps somehow, even if it HAS to be in a console | 21:38 |
RST38h | qgil: I wonder if it is possible to do automatic brightness control that responds to everyone's expectations... | 21:38 |
qgil | rm_you: apart from the lowest brightness being too bright... what else was wrong in your opinion? | 21:38 |
rm_you | qgil: the light sensor "brightnes scheduler" system may have shown some promise | 21:38 |
rm_you | ah, not much | 21:39 |
RST38h | andrew: the old one was light | 21:39 |
qgil | RST38h: I think this is what the N810 does, except the lowest level | 21:39 |
rm_you | besides the space issues I mentioned | 21:39 |
andrewfblack | RST38h: is that what you guys want now? | 21:39 |
* lcuk likes current abl | 21:39 | |
RST38h | andrew: dark is also fine but do use more color, almost Teletext style | 21:39 |
rm_you | lcuk: I haven't really seen anyone who doesn't :P lol | 21:39 |
qgil | andrewfblack: I actually was quite happy with the boring grey un-branded Mobile there was before | 21:39 |
RST38h | andrew: mostly because the stuff is all very small and using bright colors makes it stand out | 21:39 |
lcuk | heh rm_you you are right there :) | 21:40 |
RST38h | qgil: not the more colorful version though? | 21:40 |
lcuk | does its job without gettin in the way | 21:40 |
qgil | RST38h: I found it confusing | 21:40 |
andrewfblack | qgil: well do you want me to work on a new mobile or do you want to try and get reggie to bring old one back? | 21:40 |
RST38h | qgil: weird, I found the grey one bland but the bright one was quite ok | 21:40 |
qgil | andrewfblack: I don't want anybody to work on themes actually ;) | 21:41 |

andrewfblack | lcuk: lol | 21:41 |
RST38h | andrew: bringing old ones back makes sense, if Reggie can do it with relative ease of course | 21:41 |
andrewfblack | I know qgil has an old nokia phone somewhere just lying around | 21:41 |
qgil | andrewfblack: so much energy.... Most users of most websites eat what they get and don't complain - even in mobile devices | 21:41 |
rm_you | I need a new phone really badly :P was thinking about poking someone from Nokia to bring one to Copenhagen for me, lol :P | 21:42 |
lcuk | people do what they are good at and what makes them feel fulfilled :) | 21:42 |
qgil | andrewfblack: I do, of course - but I'm not supposed to give them away | 21:42 |
RST38h | qgil: sorry but I really really can't eat the maemo branded itt theme :( | 21:42 |
andrewfblack | qgil: thats true but I have given up on my maemo theme designing and I'm not good for any other developing but web so this is about my only use anymore | 21:42 |
RST38h | qgil: Classic one if fine though so I am not complaining :) | 21:42 |
RST38h | s/if/is | 21:42 |
qgil | RST38h: sure, but now there are... how many? 5 themes? I think it's enough to make happy everybody | 21:43 |
andrewfblack | qgil: you know I wont tell lol | 21:43 |

qgil | andrewfblack: and to conclude with the minimal/mobile discussion | 21:48 |
qgil | what about a poll? | 21:48 |
lcuk | ahhhh | 21:48 |
qgil | asking the Minimal users (and only those) if they would keep it like that or go for a more mobile-friendly version | 21:48 |

rm_you | johnx linked me this yesterday: http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/05/17/travel/17surfacing.html?emc=eta1 | 21:49 |
qgil | most of the recent opinions about the Minimalistic came from people that found that theme being the only salvation from the maemo.org "orange & not-dark" theme | 21:49 |
qgil | but I bet most of these are happy now with the dark & Classic variations | 21:49 |
andrewfblack | I based alot of my redue on comments from when minimalist first came out last year as well | 21:49 |
lcuk | rm_you, that first senstence reminds me of berlin :) | 21:49 |
qgil | my suspicion is that most of the current true Minimalistic users really appreciate minimalism (like me)... in a mobile device | 21:49 |
*** VDVsx has joined #maemo | 21:50 | |

* lcuk loves the spy | 21:50 | |
qgil | andrewfblack: last year minimalistic was useful to get rid of that heavy weight N810 image | 21:50 |
qgil | and mobile was around for the mobile users | 21:51 |
qgil | now the situation is different | 21:51 |
qgil | "rm_you: qgil: I heard some stuff from GA, not sure 100% what he was talking about, but... essentially, are you guys thinking that AB is superfluous in Fremantle?" | 21:51 |
qgil | "you guys" didn't say anything, it was me in a chat like this | 21:51 |
rm_you | right | 21:52 |
qgil | and I only told him the same than I said to you: rotation support is there for the apps willing to use it (not for the whole thing, so it might make sense for you to keep implementing) | 21:52 |
rm_you | sorry, what I meant by "you guys" was not you and GA, but like... you and the nokia people | 21:52 |
qgil | although it will be funny to see how the apps allowing automatic rotation will deal with a rotated desktop... | 21:52 |
rm_you | lol | 21:52 |
qgil | rm_you: this is what I'm saying "the Nokia people" has no opinion about AB | 21:53 |
rm_you | does the light team know it exists? :P | 21:53 |
qgil | saving status bar icons is something that also changes in Fremantle | 21:53 |
rm_you | alright, understood. sometimes it is hard to tell what is from you directly and what is being passed on, as you are basically the only interface we see with internal stuff | 21:54 |
qgil | and then the light... it was just at the end of last week that the "bright" people told me that 0-100% slider with light sensor was very difficult to calibrate | 21:54 |
qgil | rm_you: of course many people know it exists but they (rightly) don't think is any of their business to tell you whether the app is useful, useless or something in between | 21:54 |
rm_you | hey, if i'm wasting my time going in one direction when I should be going in another, i'd like to hear it :) | 21:55 |

qgil | andrewfblack: just listen to any suggestion about removing things that doesn't get a frontal opposition | 22:09 |

ShadowJK | but it's hard to get right, i find myself moving tablet if light level is automagically adjusted when im reading... | 23:00 |

andrewfblack | RST38x: take a look at what this site says about minimalist site <a href="http://www.linkvendor.com/seo-tools/site-analysis/website-speed-test,46.html" title="LinkVendor: Website Speed Test">Website Speed Test</a> | 23:13 |
ShadowJK | it's be interesting to make a theme restricted completely to a subset of html2, most browsers should be fast at that by now :) | 23:13 |
andrewfblack | opps didn't mean to copy the entire thing lol | 23:13 |

andrewfblack | ShadowJK: you want to trick me into making it? | 23:14 |
andrewfblack | ShadowJK: I'll tell you how to do it lol | 23:14 |
andrewfblack | btw 0k external .css would be a nightmare to write. | 23:16 |
ShadowJK | oh I was thinking about what the minimal subset you'd need | 23:16 |
ShadowJK | like, ideally | 23:17 |
ShadowJK | <p> and <a href>... do you need more? :P | 23:17 |
*** t_s_o has quit IRC | 23:17 | |
ShadowJK | <hr> between posts! | 23:18 |
ShadowJK | at that point, it should be trivial to strip to markup completely and scrape it into a mailspool for viewing in mutt | 23:19 |
ShadowJK | :D | 23:19 |

RST38x | andrew: Says the same thing as the site I used | 23:21 |
ShadowJK | there used to be several with http, mail and nntp interfaces to the same contents :) | 23:21 |
RST38x | andrew: BUT actually lists JS scripts | 23:21 |
Myrtti | ShadowJK: posts should be in divs, not separated by <hr />'s ;-) | 23:22 |
*** hellwolf has joined #maemo | 23:22 | |
ShadowJK | well ok :) | 23:22 |
RST38x | andrew: I wonder what yahoo-dom-event is... | 23:22 |
RST38x | vbulletin_menu is still there | 23:23 |
RST38x | Estimated times are wrong: you get 3.66s for UMTS and 0.53s for the modem | 23:23 |
RST38x | The real time over GPRS is more like 10-30 seconds | 23:24 |
ShadowJK | umts != gprs | 23:27 |
RST38x | UMTS should be faster, right? | 23:27 |
ShadowJK | yes | 23:27 |
RST38x | UMTS should be faster than normal modem right? | 23:27 |
ShadowJK | I would have guessed "average reallife" latency of gprs to be 5-10 times worse than umts | 23:29 |
*** myosound has quit IRC | 23:29 | |
RST38x | Whatever it is, ITT loads in 10-30 seconds for me over GPRS, using minimalist scheme | 23:30 |
RST38x | Which it about three times longer than it should, content-wise | 23:30 |
ShadowJK | it's the number of requests | 23:30 |
ShadowJK | you've got an average latency when idle of about 1 to 1.5 seconds | 23:30 |
ShadowJK | can get as "good" as .3 secs if connection is loaded exactly the right amount :) | 23:31 |
*** oilinki3 is now known as oilinki | 23:31 | |
ShadowJK | but quickly 5 second latencies during moderate load | 23:31 |
ShadowJK | absolute worst case is much worse :) | 23:32 |

ShadowJK | GAN8001: about your expired cert issues... anyone suggested the obvious yet? turn off auto-fetch time from network, manually set clock to 2007 or something | 23:37 |
ShadowJK | rst38x: opera mini wins because it makes just one request :) | 23:37 |
ShadowJK | so typical "not ideal case" delay is something like 1.5 sec + .3*2 before data comes in, and then it all comes at once | 23:39 |
ShadowJK | less on subsequent pages because it doesn't close connection to opera's server | 23:39 |

ShadowJK | this is why I mentioned self-contained html, the number of objects matter much more than datasize, atleast for speed | 23:40 |
ShadowJK | it's ahother question whether user would want to tradeoff speed for less bytes transfered :) | 23:41 |
ShadowJK | (if they get metered by the byte) | 23:41 |
luke-jr | what idiot put the N810's mic in the BOTTOM? | 23:42 |

luke-jr | not as a stealth conversation recorder | 23:48 |
luke-jr | or speakerphone to a group around a central point | 23:48 |
luke-jr | I now have to compromise: recording, or notes? | 23:49 |
luke-jr | I will have to choose recording and hope I can make out well enough to add notes later | 23:49 |
