*** loganbr has quit IRC00:00
DocScrutinizer05abd?00:01
freemangordonABP00:01
DocScrutinizer05adb?00:01
freemangordon:D:D:D00:01
freemangordonnaah00:01
freemangordonno android crap here :P00:01
Sc0rpiushahaha00:01
DocScrutinizer05so we're still talking about AddBlock+?00:02
Sc0rpiuswe.ñ00:02
Sc0rpiuswe..00:02
Sc0rpius:S00:02
Sc0rpiusI can't even type00:02
freemangordonapt-get install --reinstall adblock-plus-1.0 does the job00:02
freemangordonSc0rpius: could you rty it?00:03
freemangordon*try00:03
DocScrutinizer05and I assume ADP and ADB and ABD are all synonyms for AddBlock+?00:03
freemangordontwas a typo00:03
freemangordonADB i mean00:03
freemangordonand yes, we're talking about AddBlock+00:03
Sc0rpiusI could try, but it'll update patterns.ini anyway00:04
Sc0rpiuseventually00:04
freemangordonSc0rpius: how?00:04
freemangordonwhere you will get them from?00:05
DocScrutinizer05I'd like to believe it's been Java/JRE here, in konqueror00:05
DocScrutinizer05or this friggin flash11-plugin?00:05
Sc0rpiusit automatically does it, if you see where your patterns.ini is, you'll see different backups from different versions every time it updated itself00:05
Sc0rpiusand it seems to be once a day00:05
freemangordonSc0rpius: but it won't help then, tomorrow my microb will be screwed up again00:06
Sc0rpiusyes.00:06
Sc0rpiusunless we figure out how to disable that00:06
freemangordonsigh00:06
Sc0rpiuswhich I believe you can00:06
freemangordonlets again ask google :)00:07
Sc0rpiusthere's a Preferences button for Adblock00:07
freemangordonyeah, opens another not very useful window00:08
*** FIQ|n900 has joined #maemo00:08

*** wazd has joined #maemo00:11
freemangordonSc0rpius: that option is added in last ADP version (2.03) which is not available for microb00:12
freemangordon(disable automatic updates)00:12
Sc0rpius:S00:13
Sc0rpiusthen I'm not using Adblock Plus.  Anyway I don't visit websites with too much ads using the N90000:13
Sc0rpiusI need it to be fast more than to be clean00:13
vi_FWIW noscript works on microb.00:13
freemangordonyeah :S00:13
Sc0rpiussince I can't have both :(00:13
freemangordonvi_: what is that?00:14
robbiethe1stI use the flash "clickToRun" thing00:14
vi_You could also use a small hosts adblock without ABP overheads.00:14
robbiethe1stworks /excellently/ for keeping MicroB fast.00:14
vi_robbiethe1st: I use that too.00:14
Sc0rpiusyou mean settings 127.0.0.1 to in /etc/hosts to ads sites?00:14
Sc0rpiussetting00:14
vi_freemangordon: noscript disables ALL scripting of all everykind except on pages you whhitelist.00:14
vi_Helps keep things snappy.00:15
freemangordonit is in repos?00:15
vi_No, you have to go 'find it' from the firefox plugins web page.00:15
freemangordonaah, ok00:15
vi_And yes ABP is a massive hog.00:16

freemangordonhmm, seems to work after the restart00:31
freemangordonSc0rpius: seems ABP updates every 5 days00:32
Sc0rpiusit sucks.00:32
freemangordondon;t see any speed difference between 1.02 and 1.3.10 though00:33
freemangordontakes 10 seconds until TMO starts to download :(00:34
*** dos1 has quit IRC00:34
freemangordonbut that is only for the first site, after that everything is snappy00:34
vi_and you were wondering who ate your ram?00:35
freemangordonyeah :D00:35
freemangordonbut 1.3.10 seems much better than 1.02, lets see how it will be after blacklist update00:39
vi_you could perhaps configure it to use the fanboy super light weight block list as oppose to easy ist?00:40
vi_^list00:40
vi_That might yield a speed inprovment.00:40
freemangordonyeah, if the full list slows it again i will google for some light list00:41
*** loganbr has quit IRC00:41
vi_fanboy is your man00:41
vi_Fucking Rockoil SVI.00:43

*** jhb has joined #maemo00:48
Sc0rpiusthat's a bug some people have.  It's fixed in the current release00:49
Sc0rpiuswell if you speak japanese00:49
*** piggz has quit IRC00:49
Sc0rpiuswhen you (used to ) ask a Japanese: "there's no Whatsapp for N900" (in japanese of course)00:49
Sc0rpiushe would say "yappari..." as "I knew it"00:49
wmaronehehe00:50
Sc0rpiusand since it has "app" in between00:50
Sc0rpiusit makes a funny pun for the japanese00:50

*** ToJa92 has joined #maemo01:10
Estel_i.e. it works by having patterns for most popular adds - for sake of installing and running out of the box01:10
Estel_last time I've tried addblockplus it was possible to disable auto list...01:11
Estel_and rely on Your own patterns01:11
Estel_i.e. You see add -> You add it to list -> You don't see it again on that site01:12
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: we had ICQ skype msn aolm and tons of other shit ppl all over the world use for some reason... all do the same... eat your soul01:12
Estel_patterns try to block adds for whole world, they have to be ram hogs :P01:12
Estel_vi_,  freemangordon, how are You installing mozilla addonds for microB from out of repos?01:13
Estel_is it possible to install some old versions, or what?01:13

DocScrutinizer05you really think they will stop doing that just because you whine "that's evil!"01:17

Estel_I always though our UI is incompatible01:31
Estel_(microB UI)01:31
*** kraft has quit IRC01:35
Estel_freemangordon,  vi_, call me stupid, but I haven't had idea, that we're able to flawlessly install addons for microB...01:38
freemangordonEstel_, at least ABP 1.3.10 works (though there is no "block" tab on flash animations)01:38
Estel_I see01:38
*** kraft has joined #maemo01:38
Sc0rpiuswe can't, at least not flawlessly01:38
Sc0rpiusthere's always some kind of hack involved01:38
Sc0rpiusat least in my experience maybe nowadays is more n00b proof dunno01:38
Estel_well, installed flagfox for test (small thing that show flag near address, to indicate country where server is, + show IP address on demand)01:38
Estel_and obviously, as it relies on UI, it doesn't seem to work01:39
Estel_although, probably, backend thing does01:39
Estel_if i can find working spellcheckedr with switchable languages, I'm in heaven01:39
Estel_freemangordon,  restarting after installation01:42
*** habmala has quit IRC01:42
Estel_only microB closing and opening, or killall browser needed?01:43
Estel_or browserd?01:43
*** e-yes has joined #maemo01:43
*** kraft has quit IRC01:43
Estel_sorry for pestering You with questions01:43
Estel_it's just shock to me that we can try addons like that in microB01:43
freemangordonkillall browserd01:45
freemangordonkillall browser01:45
* Estel_ nods01:46
Estel_if lazarus form recovery and spellchecking are gonna work, I'm going officialy orgasmic01:46

luke-jrwhy does Gitorious's wiki markup suck?01:48
luke-jrEstel_: how's it look so far? :P https://gitorious.org/handheld-gentoo-overlays/pages/N90001:49
*** kraft has quit IRC01:52
Estel_luke-jr,  much better than before ;)01:52
Estel_btw, small info - kernel power support ext4 for ages, so info about it being limited to ext3 is wrong01:53
RST38hHehe, since Nokia started upgrading Symbian Belle with Microsoft shit, the OS has become less stable01:54
*** robink_ is now known as robink01:54
*** robink has joined #maemo01:55
Estel_luke-jr,  also, You have typo in wifi section - "start GPRS interface"01:55
*** kraft has joined #maemo01:55
*** zeq has quit IRC01:55
*** PeterWolf has joined #maemo01:55
Estel_overall, good beginning, I like it. Care to move it to Maemo wiki too?01:55
luke-jrEstel_: what's the typo? O.o01:55
Estel_oh, was it on purpose?01:55
luke-jrwhat on purpose? O.o01:56
Estel_I mean, start GPRS interface to run WiFi?01:56
luke-jroooooo01:56
luke-jrthanks :P01:56
Estel_np :P01:56
luke-jrMaemo Wiki would probably make it easier (Gitorious markdown sucks), but does it really fit there?01:56
Estel_see few lines ago, kernel-power reads ext4 without problems01:56
Estel_of course01:56
Estel_it fit there as hell01:56
luke-jrEstel_: it reads/writes ext4 without a journal?01:57
Estel_if ubuntu 12.04 fit there, why not gentoo01:57
luke-jrlol01:57
Estel_yea, it reads/write like desktop01:57
luke-jrEstel_: I thought it was too old for that, unless someone backported it o.o01:57
Estel_afaik yes01:57
luke-jrhmm01:57
Estel_kernel-power isn't 2.6.28 at all, in reality01:58
luke-jrXD01:58
Estel_considering all backports01:58
Estel_btw hope Your subpage "modern kernel" is going to be full of magic too :P01:58
luke-jrI'm not sure Gentoo's power kernel is completely up to date either - I think they've been doing a lot this year?01:58
Estel_of course01:58
luke-jrto write "Modern kernel", I'm going to have to start over with 3.4 or 3.5 :|01:59
Estel_;)01:59
Estel_to take it serious, You should maintain proper gentoo branch of KP01:59
luke-jr?01:59
Estel_unless You want to have PITA applying all gentoo changes to kp5001:59
luke-jrnot really anything special needed for Gentoo01:59
Estel_and every next version02:00
Estel_I see.02:00
luke-jrgentoo's kernel is really just bugfixes02:00
luke-jrit would be pretty awesome if I could get Maemo running inside LXC though02:00
Estel_are You sure that those bugfixes were't included in KP separately? ;)02:00
luke-jrEstel_: they are, which is why I don't see a point to any KP fork :p02:01
luke-jr(and if I find any that aren't, it makes sense to put them to main KP too)02:01
Estel_so for gentoo on N900, You may just use straight upstream kp50 flawlessly?02:01
luke-jrright02:01
Estel_yea02:01
luke-jrusing KP 49 right now02:01
luke-jronly gotcha is, Gentoo needs it built with GCC 4.502:02
Sc0rpiusI wonder if anyone knows here how to close the virtual keyboard in Qt or even GLIB works02:02
luke-jrto build kernel modules against it02:02
*** rcg has quit IRC02:02
Estel_luke-jr,  why not GCC 4.6.2 like in Maemo?02:02
luke-jrEstel_: it's not in Gentoo stable yet02:02
Estel_I see02:02
luke-jrwhen it gets promoted to Gentoo/ARM stable, it'll automatically work for N900 pretty much02:03
Estel_damn, why microB text fields doesn't have right-click context menu02:03
luke-jr(also, Gentoo is hardfp - not sure if that will affect kernel module linking or not)02:03
Estel_I can right click on address bar and got nice context menu...02:04
Estel_but on pages, it works onlhy for non-text02:04
luke-jr>_<02:04
Estel_and text context menu is where lazarus form recovery live :(02:04
Estel_luke-jr,  no idea02:04
Estel_and what about thumb?02:04
luke-jrlast I heard, N900's CPU is broken for thumb?02:05
Estel_thumb2, precisely02:05
Estel_last You've said that, I fixed You already :P02:05
Estel_freemangordon fixed it.02:05
luke-jryeah, but CPUs don't fix themselves usually :p02:05
freemangordonaaah, not again02:05
Estel_freemangordon is like chuck norris02:05
luke-jrO.o02:05
luke-jrso it wasn't really broken?02:06
Estel_he fixed every N900? cpu in universe02:06
freemangordonit was02:06
Estel_;)02:06
Estel_seriously though02:06
freemangordonthe errata is for real02:06
Estel_he found proper way to include errata fix02:06
luke-jrhmm02:06
freemangordonmhm02:06
Estel_hmpf02:06
*** githogori has joined #maemo02:07
Estel_luke-jr,  use the force. It makes - thumb, not force - Your executables smaller in ram02:07
Estel_consider that for gentoo in N90002:07
luke-jryes, that would be handy :P02:07
freemangordonluke-jr: you can see thumb2 errata fix in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRUlJ2GXI0402:08
freemangordon(Ubuntu 12.04 is thumb2 hardfp)02:08
*** eijk has quit IRC02:08
luke-jrnice02:09
Estel_now most important question02:12
Estel_any benefits from using Geento thumb2 hardfp over Ubuntu 12.04 with LXDE - or, other way around?02:12
Estel_...except for fact, that ubuntu was documented from very beginning, and, as a result, dozen of people are working on it, instead 1 person? :P02:13
Estel_(while it was also started by 1 person)02:13
*** teotwaki_ has quit IRC02:14
*** messerting has quit IRC02:14
Estel_no spell checker and no lazarus for microB, due to lack of right-clickable text fields :( No orgasm here02:14
*** zeq has joined #maemo02:20
HurrianEstel_, why not ubuntu-minimal then install lxde?02:21
Hurrianubuntu-desktop seems to pull in a crapload of extra stuff02:22
Estel_sounds reasonable. I'm newbie in all those things, so I rely on documentation02:22
Estel_those things = desktop OS'es on N900 without chroot02:22
Estel_what interest me is performance, hardware compatibility etc02:22
Estel_I don't even know why ubuntu, instead of minimal debian, for example02:23
Estel_or archlinux or whatever02:23
Estel_archlinux probably because got less packages etc, but why ubuntu with it's unity "glory", instead of good old debian?02:23
FIQ|n900archlinux-arm works on n90002:24
HurrianEstel_, arch would be nice too, packaging any new packages is definitely not a problem ;)02:24
Estel_if it works - quite good - on 16 MB RAM 200 mhz CPU router wrt54gl, it should in our case too ;)02:24
Estel_FIQ|n900,  yea, heard that02:25
Estel_although I'm loss in all those hardware/kernel compatibility02:25
HurrianEstel_, i'm pretty sure you're referring to embedded distros02:25
Hurriani'd be hard pressed to build a full glibc userland in 16mb02:25
Estel_Hurrian,  no, base debian (without desktop enviroment) works on wrt54gl02:25
Estel_hm02:26
Estel_maybe02:26
Estel_np idea honestly, as it's art for at itself, so I'm using openwrt there :P02:26
Estel_still, why ubuntu on N900, not debian?02:27
* Hurrian starts building chroot for rt-n1602:27
Estel_:)02:27
HurrianEstel_, no idea02:27
Estel_and why specifically Ubuntu 12.04?02:27

Hurrianwhoops, wrong window02:28
freemangordonany CSS guru here?02:28
Hurrianhere.02:29
luke-jrEstel_: the same reasons to use Gentoo over Ubuntu normally? :p02:29
Hurrianfreemangordon, need help with your new site?02:29
freemangordonadblockplus changed behaviour to show "block" tab only when hovered over the element in v1.102:29
luke-jrEstel_: such as being able to build everything customized to the hardware02:29
Estel_luke-jr,  maybe, but ubuntu is using some special 2.6.37 version of kernel02:29
luke-jrEstel_: no reason we can't use it with Gentoo :p02:30
luke-jr2.6.37 is pretty old already tho02:30
Hurrianfreemangordon, I just disable that function, even on desktop abp02:30
Estel_freemangordon,  what it's about this 2.6.37 so special?02:30
freemangordonHurrian: want to revert that02:30
Hurrianlemme look into it.02:30
freemangordonHurrian: how? I want "block" button always visible02:30
Hurrianany idea where the code may be?02:30
freemangordonyep02:30
freemangordonseems like objtabs.css02:31
freemangordonHurrian: if you gonna look at it, then look version 1.3.1002:31
freemangordonthat is the last version supporting microb02:32
Hurrianfreemangordon, something like hidebutton:hover{ opacity = 1.0 };02:32
freemangordonlet me check02:32
freemangordona.%%CLASSNAME%%:hover {02:32
freemangordonopacity: 0.8 !important;02:32
freemangordon}02:32
freemangordonthat is working version02:32
Hurrianmove it to a.%%CLASSNAME%%{opacity: 0.8 !important;}02:33
Hurrianthat way, you disable need to hover over it02:33
freemangordonok, let me try02:33

DocScrutinizer05for some of the magnets you can calibrate out the offset if the magnetometer chip has sufficient dynamic range08:59
ds3yep08:59
doc|homek273: someone should hit them up for a repo08:59
ds3there is a project out there about using the audio jack to interface sensors08:59

ds3a compass would let you have a fixed orientation09:01
DocScrutinizer05sensor at AV plug has a hard time getting powered09:01
ds3much rather do things Linux style instead of the Android hack09:01
ds3there is a design out there that can get about 5mW09:02
ds35mW can run some mag sensors09:02
DocScrutinizer05hmm, possible09:02
ds3was reading a paper where someone had a full setup09:02
ds3Left channel for power, Right channel for data in, Mic for data out (relative to the sensor)09:02
ds3for a mag, pull power from left and right together and double the power09:03
DocScrutinizer05I'd rather use USB09:04
DocScrutinizer05WAAAAY cleaner design09:05
ds3but USB is much more complex09:05
ds3and you need the host mode hacks09:05
ds3and you loose the ability to charge09:05
DocScrutinizer05hmm09:05
ds3to be really useful, the mag needs its ownaccelerometer09:06
DocScrutinizer051) no. 2) correct. 3) well, depends09:06
ds3you got a 1 chip solution for SPI or I2C to USB?09:06
ds3most 1 chip sol'n are for UART09:06
DocScrutinizer05several, iirc09:06
ds3Oh? who?09:06
ds3who makes one I mean09:07
DocScrutinizer05you can bitbang I2C via FTDI chip, and that's a solution I see while not yet awake09:07
ds3Hmmmm09:08
ds3still remember battery life issues with host mode though...has that been solved?09:08
DocScrutinizer05battery life issues quite likely are system immanent: 200mA@5V09:09
DocScrutinizer05if your plug doesn't use those, they won't drain battery09:09
ds3right now with my original battery, I am barely getting 4-5hours on 3G :(09:10
DocScrutinizer05USB controller on SoC though is also a bit of a energy hog09:10
ds3maybe it is what the code did, I remember having rapid battery drain after just trying host mode. a reboot seems to fix that09:10
ds3similar to what I saw on the N80009:11
DocScrutinizer05:shrug: 5h on 3G sounds about right09:11

ds3oh09:16
DocScrutinizer05you'd need to come up with a non-standard design09:17
DocScrutinizer05seems easy09:17
ds3it'd involve gluing09:17
DocScrutinizer05solder it09:17
DocScrutinizer05still09:17
ds3the ones I have seen are not amendable to soldering09:17
ds3there is a sheild blocking it09:17
DocScrutinizer05solder the shield, connect by wire09:18
ds3Ohhhh like that09:18
ds3interesting09:18
ds3but that'd require a pass through to handle power/charging, right?09:19
DocScrutinizer05hmm, unless you build in a barrel connector or 2nd USB female for charger...09:19
ds3hmmm that could work09:20
ds3the charging current would be a nasty H field to calibrate out though09:20
DocScrutinizer05I see another argument for AV: it's more sturdy, at least on N90009:20
ds3the AV jack route looks idiot proof for prototyping... build it, check to see if there is power...then the rest is a MSP430 talking to a SPI or I2C bus09:21
DocScrutinizer05(field) not if you run VBUS and GND in parallel and close to each other09:21
ds3I donno if htat is enough, saw 'issues' on another design relating to it09:21

This is used in both telecommunication and storage systems which move a medium past a fixed recording head. Specifically, RLL bounds the length of stretches (runs) of repeated bits during which the signal does not change. If ...09:38
DocScrutinizer05the last sentence says it all09:39
ds3I looked at that09:39
ds3and I don't see a lower bound on what frequency the channel must pass09:39
ds3the usage of the term 'DC' is a mistake on my part09:39
DocScrutinizer05the max run length09:39
ds3thinking of something like audio systems might high pass some at some frequency09:40
ds3Oh you mean use the max lenght of the 0's or 1's as a limiter on the min. freq?09:40
DocScrutinizer05I think usually max RL is ~5 bits09:40
DocScrutinizer05yep09:41
ds3hmm seems complicated09:41
DocScrutinizer05???09:41
ds3wouldn't know how to pick that out of a stream sampled by ALSA09:41
DocScrutinizer05you don't use any limiter09:41

jacekowskiyeah, but read the description14:33
DocScrutinizer05s/memcpy/memcmp/.14:33
jacekowskiit says it's comparing bytes14:33
jacekowskiand it's returning byte compare value14:33
DocScrutinizer05it *compares* bytes14:33
DocScrutinizer05which is friggin irrelevant14:33

jacekowskiBSD14:34
jacekowskiand you have inconsistent behaviour across different linux distros14:35
DocScrutinizer05jacekowski: still returns int14:35
SpeedEvilSlackware manpage The memcmp() function returns  an  integer  less  than,  equal  to,  or14:35
SpeedEvil       greater than zero if the first n bytes of s1 is found, respectively, to14:35
SpeedEvil       be less than, to match, or be greater than the first n bytes of s214:35
jacekowskiread the description14:35
SpeedEviland says nothing about the actual range14:35
DocScrutinizer05fact is the function still is defined as int  memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);14:36
SpeedEvilIt's clearly possible to assume that it's the result of subtracting each char in each input string, and returning the result if diffefrent14:36
SpeedEvilbut that isn't specified14:36
DocScrutinizer05doesn't matter14:36
petterijacekowski: maybe you are just one bitter mysql dev :P14:36
jacekowskinah, you just hit some random behaviour that makes stuff go wobbly14:37

mira_I was told to wait an hour22:38
vi__did you register for talk.maemo.org or maemo.org?22:39

*** kaawee has quit IRC22:39
vi__mira_: ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION.22:40
mira_well yes, I thought I could use the same credentials for both22:40
vi__mira_: no, for some bizzare reason they use differnt login details.22:40
mira_ok thanks22:40
vi__So to use talk.maemo.org, go to talk.maemo.org and register there.22:40
mira_okies I will22:41
vi__good22:41
mira_another question, is anyone experienced in using pocketsphinx22:41
mira_I am working a bit on a voice control app22:42
mira_the main idea is to improve the recognition rate by having several language models and using the one that depends on the app that is the foreground app22:44
*** Atarii has joined #maemo22:44
mira_it works so far but I would like to have an idea about the probability that the word pocketsphinx found is the corrent one22:45
*** piggz has joined #maemo22:45
GeneralAntillesvi_, because SSO is difficult to implement.22:45
GeneralAntillesvi__, and Talk was a completely different website in the past.22:46
fastamira_: are you saying you are thinking about the voice recognition problem?22:49
mira_yes22:49
fastamira_: why don't you first implement the current state of the art?22:49
fastamira_: I'd guess that would keep you occupied for >10 years at least.22:49
fastaThen you can start thinking about improvements.22:50
fastaIt's the same thing in most application areas.22:50
mira_n900 doesnt have a voice control app22:51
fastaGoogle does voice recognition on extremely large datasets, and it works.22:51
*** sq-one has quit IRC22:51
fastaThere are likely also ways to do it with less data, but hey, it works.22:51
fastanidO: so?22:51
fastamira_: voice control would be really cool, but it's not 'research'.22:52
mira_but dont I need to be online to use google voice control?22:52
fastaI wasn't implying you should use Google.22:52
mira_and I never said that I would to research22:52
mira_s/to/do22:52
mira_there is a nice module called pocketsphinx22:53
mira_that does the recognition22:53
mira_but it fails very often when you have a large dictionary22:53
*** sq-one has joined #maemo22:53
mira_so I want to have several small dictionaries, like every supported app has its own22:54
mira_its just using the pocketsphinx module, implemting the app dependent dictionary (language model) and code the stuff to control the app (mainly by dbus),  thats it22:55
*** luke-jr has joined #maemo22:55
mira_it works in general, but I would like to have a certain threshold of certainty, thats what I am currently looking for22:57

Woody14619There's an app being developed on TMO for N900/N9 currently for this, FYI.23:02
mira_yes the pocketsphinx is under development23:02
Woody14619fasta:  Please don't discourage people who are looking to help...23:03
fastaWoody14619: I am just helping him/her not to reinvent the wheel.23:03
Woody14619fasta: this person is saying they're looking at options on how to bring functionality to N900 using an existing tool (pocketsphynx)23:03
Woody14619fasta: They're not trying to re-invent.  They're looking to build on existing tools.23:04
mira_correct Woody1461923:04
*** Dynamit has quit IRC23:04
Woody14619fasta: and currently there is not an existing tool for doing this on the N900.23:04
fastaWoody14619: the 'application specific dictionaries'-part has some research papers on it.23:04
fastaI think it's more efficient to read a paper in 10 minutes than to think for a week about something.23:05
Woody14619That's great... Be usefull and point those out.  But don't discourage doing anything becuase it may be re-inventing.  Re-inventing is part of the learning process.23:05
fastaWell, I didn't mean to discourage you.23:05
*** sq-one has quit IRC23:05
fastaIt's more awesome than most projects.23:05
fastaThe resistor application is also awesome, btw.23:06
fastaThe GUI is just made of genious.23:06
Woody14619:)  Good... so, mira_, the app currently under development can be read about on TMO, at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=8475323:06
mira_fasta: I don't do any research, I just make use of existing tools23:06
fastaIt could be improved, of course.23:06
fastaFor example, currently it's only a one directional mapping.23:06
fastaIt could also show the resistor colors based on the resistor and tolerances input.23:07
mira_thanks for that link, I will see whether this one is better than mine23:07
Woody14619mira_, They're using just such an approach right now for command interface vs general entry.23:07
Woody14619mira_, also consider, it may be useful to merge both to pick up sub-sets of features each lacks that the other has...23:08
mira_indeed23:08
*** piggz has quit IRC23:08
Woody14619mira_, always easier to colaborate than compete.  Especially in an open environment like N900.23:08
Woody14619mira_, good luck! :)23:09
mira_yeah you are absolutely right Woody14619, I just didnt find THAT one23:09
Woody14619fasta, true. :)  Lots of apps could be refined and added.  But to do that we need people willing to put effort it.  Even if some of them have to re-learn chunks or wind up making the same widget again, sometimes newer is actually better.  Especially if that newer version has a maintainer, and the old one does not. ;)23:10
fastaWoody14619: how many n900 users are there left? 10,000?23:11
Woody14619fasta, there are times I've simply scrapped an existing tool and re-written, since deciphering what was already there would have taken longer than to simply re-create it in the way I think.  Especially if it's poorly written/commented source.23:12
*** piggz has joined #maemo23:12
fastaWoody14619: yeah, know the feeling.23:12
Woody14619fasta, in some cases user base is irrelivant.  The true measure is developer numbers.  And those are low, but stable right now.23:13
Woody14619fasta, one can change the other dramatically.  Yes.  But in a 2-year old product, those numbers are now semi-static, at least in slope if nothing else. :)23:13
fastaI think there are also infrastructure issues which are important.23:13
fastaE.g. when a new critical component comes out, the rest should still work.23:14
fastaBackwards compatibility needs to be transparent to both users and developers on any given platform.23:14
fastaI have no idea how n900 does it (seems to be good), but lots of platforms fail because they either don't offer anything or fail to do those things.23:15
*** setanta has quit IRC23:15
Woody14619fasta, agreed.  But those are side-issues.  One can re-write a component with an identical API if documented correctly.  The problems arise when the documentation is poor or non-existent. :)23:16
Woody14619Anyway.. while this is fun, I must get back to work.23:16
fastaYeah, I value undocumented code at $0.23:16
