Damnshockmerlin1991: not everyone01:51
Damnshock;)01:51
merlin1991I had a funny driver safety training yesterday :D01:52
merlin1991now I know for sure, that my care behaves like crap on a wet surface01:52
Damnshockwell, everyone knows that01:53
Damnshock;)01:53
merlin1991also avoiding obstacles without an abs break is hard but fun :)01:54
Damnshocktell me about it01:54
merlin1991I like the feeling when the car completely loses ground contact01:54
Damnshockabs has saved my ass a couple of times on my bike01:54
merlin1991feels like free floating xD01:54
merlin1991my peugeot has nothing to help me, even the tires are sorta crap :/01:55
Damnshockthat's manageable: you can always buy better ones ;)01:55
merlin1991yea :D01:57
merlin1991but getting abs isn't that manageable01:57
DamnshockI know01:57
Damnshockluckily I listed to my mum when we got the bike01:57
merlin1991on the other hand, when I get my next car there probably isnt going to be any car without abs :D01:58
Damnshockhahahhahahaha01:58
DamnshockI could say the same about my bike01:58
Damnshockit's getting close to three years now01:58
Damnshockwow01:58
Damnshockit's been three years already!01:58
merlin1991my car is from 200201:58
merlin1991but I bought it about 1 year ago01:59
merlin1991I guess even now it would be damn hard to find a new car that doesn't have abs02:00
*** andre__ has quit IRC02:07
MohammadAGthe ABS light always goes on in the golf I drive02:11
MohammadAGnot sure if that's a bad/good thing, but the light's orange so it's like a warning I think02:11
Damnshockthat means it ain't working02:12
Damnshockyou should have it checked02:13
DamnshockI can't afford a car right now02:13
Damnshocka parking spot in Barcelona can go over 100€ per month02:13
*** s3cz0n3 has joined #maemo-ssu02:20

MohammadAGDamnshock, it only lights up when I press the brakes hard02:22
DamnshockMohammadAG: then it means it *is* working ;)02:27

merlin1991Damnshock: technically parking spots in vienna are free02:57

Damnshockhahaha02:57
Damnshocknot here02:57
Damnshockyou must pay even if you leave here02:57
Damnshockalthough it's not that much on the street02:58
merlin1991that's crazy02:58
merlin1991paying for the parking spots on the street02:58
merlin1991wtf!02:58
Damnshockwell, you have to in Barcelona02:59
Damnshockit's known as "green zone"02:59
Damnshockthe "blue zone" is for everybody02:59

Damnshock2'5€ per hour02:59
Damnshockmore than real pparking spots xD02:59
* merlin1991 wtfs again03:00
flailingmonkeyi've been lurking on Bug 1197603:02
povbotBug https://bugs.maemo.org/11976 viewing sms conversations in portrait mode without horizontal scrolling (patch)03:02
flailingmonkeyand using the patch, it works well. looks pretty close to completion, just details of packaging03:03
flailingmonkeybut I'm also wondering what options exist for making Conversations auto-rotate (without using global force-rotation) after having the patch applied?03:04

flailingmonkeyMohammadAG: how would the Conversations app be set to auto-rotate (rather than using global forced-rotation, or Ctrl-Shift-R)? that's the only thing missing from the proposed solution to bug 11976, tohave portrait mode Conversations05:05

DocScrutinizermerlin1991: figure this: here you must "buy" the already existing parking spaces in front of your house on the street when you're going to open a shop, esp restaurant or pub07:08
DocScrutinizerbut you may not reserve them for your customers, nor ask for any fee when somebody is going to park there07:09
DocScrutinizermy newest business idea: sell special trailers that can lift your car on top when you stop it on side of the trailer. Such a trailer is quite cheap for the number plate and tax (like ~100EUR/y) and may stay on any parking space as long as it likes07:11
DocScrutinizerso you get your own private exclusive parking for ~100bucks per year07:13
flailingmonkeyvery clever DocScrutinizer07:14
psycho_oreosthat'll piss people off, especially within city areas where parking is already a premium07:14
DocScrutinizerindeed, not my problem though ;-D07:15
DocScrutinizerI may consider selling specially hardened trailers X-D07:15
psycho_oreosthough I'm not going to defend those who have to put up with the idea, but if lots of people do that I'm sure other businesses would call towing trucks to tow these trailers away even if it is by force :)07:16
DocScrutinizerpremium protection of your premium class car when parking in premium zones where you have to deal with vandalism07:17
DocScrutinizertow away a trailer is like auto theft07:17
psycho_oreosbut businesses can do that if they deemed it to be a nuisance or preventing them from achieving their sales07:18
DocScrutinizernot here07:18
psycho_oreosnice07:18
DocScrutinizerwell, afaik. Need to consult a lawyer prior to searching for venture capital07:19
psycho_oreosthough I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before they crack out the whip if lets say 75% of the people who use that trailer idea within city areas07:19
DocScrutinizersure07:19
DocScrutinizerlocal authorities may outlaw it with no effort07:20
DocScrutinizerin a matter of days or months07:20
DocScrutinizerbut then I sold my trailers07:20
psycho_oreosyou probably won't reap much unless if the city area is huge or you raise the price of each of these special trailers to like maybe twofold :)07:21
DocScrutinizerthis is a luxury thing anyway, so price doesn't matter really07:22
DocScrutinizerclearly no mass market product07:22
psycho_oreossounds a bit like in the case of aava phones :D07:23
DocScrutinizerwhich also will keep chances low for authorities to get active about it07:23
DocScrutinizerlemme put it this way: somebody who got 120kEUR for a premium class car, but finds himself parking the car 5 min away from his downtown office due to lack of parking lots, this guy may consider paying a considerable part of the cost of car for such a trailer07:25
flailingmonkeysee I was thinking these were those rigs which lift a car up above another parking spot07:27
flailingmonkeylike you see in some parking lots07:27
*** DocScrutinizer has quit IRC07:29
*** DocScrutinizer has joined #maemo-ssu07:29
DocScrutinizeryou could probably do this if you need a second parking space for your friends or wife ;-)07:29
DocScrutinizer(reconnect, sorry)07:29
*** fatphil has quit IRC07:30
DocScrutinizerwhere's moh?07:31
DocScrutinizer(autorotation) I'm definitely averse of that rotate stuff, don't want it as it usually only annoys me. I hope it will sort out for those apps that started to rotate lately even when I don't want them to07:33
DocScrutinizerI think HAM been one of those07:35
DocScrutinizerincredible07:35
DocScrutinizerprobably comes in handy for installing/deleting/updating apps while you're biking07:35
DocScrutinizer;-P07:35
flailingmonkeylmao07:35
flailingmonkeyrotation, auto or otherwise, works well for Conversations, once the CSS files are patched, as is described in bug 1197607:36
povbotBug https://bugs.maemo.org/11976 viewing sms conversations in portrait mode without horizontal scrolling (patch)07:36
DocScrutinizer~nuke povbot07:36
flailingmonkeybut there isn't exactly a good way to change orientation in Conversations. there is the Ctrl-Shift-R to enable the rotation at runtime07:37
flailingmonkeyor force-rotation in the transitions.ini07:37
flailingmonkeyI think the sensitivity/detection of when to rotate could use fine-tuning, to reduce false-positives07:38
flailingmonkeythey're more annoying than false-negatives07:38
DocScrutinizerforce app-specific rotation in transitions.ini??? >:-(07:38
flailingmonkeysorry no, force app-specific rotation07:39
DocScrutinizerflailingmonkey: please don't tell me we got a per-app setting in transitions.ini now07:39
flailingmonkeysorry no, force-rotation is not app-specific07:40
flailingmonkey(messed that up)07:40
DocScrutinizeraaah07:40
flailingmonkeybecause I was reading your message while writing mine07:40
DocScrutinizerotherwise I had to send out my army of bats07:40
flailingmonkeyyeah, so you can rely on global force-rotation, but that sucks07:41
flailingmonkeyi only want apps that will not break to use rotation, so I was wondering how an app's rotation stuff can be controlled07:42
DocScrutinizeras nobody liked my idea to get a X-MAEMO-ROTATION in .desktop, we need another way to keep the rotation settings per app apart from each other07:42
DocScrutinizerI raised same concern as the last post of yours some 3 months ago07:44
DocScrutinizeranyway transitions.ini definitely is the most wrong place to keep such bits, as it's one file and there's no clean way to install app specific stuff to there07:45
flailingmonkeyyeah, it's become a dumping ground, mostly because its where people were already editing to enable/change stuff07:46
DocScrutinizerin my book that's clearly something to go to the .desktop files07:47
flailingmonkeycertainly makes sense07:47
flailingmonkeyI wonder what code detects orientation change from accelerometer values07:48
DocScrutinizerI've been told there's a bit to enable rotation somewhere in X calls to open app's window, but how's an app that never cared about rotation meant to set this bit, even worse clear it07:49
DocScrutinizergood question. Usually this was mce07:49
DocScrutinizerbut seems mce isn't used here, and somebody hacked a dirty botch into hildon desktop07:50
DocScrutinizerI elaborated on that whole topic in epic length here in this chan back when we first tackled that problem. Was about API incompatibilities and what not07:53
DocScrutinizermaybe chanlog will give you some hits07:53
DocScrutinizeralas I forgot 90% of what others told me about it, but back then I had all the bits together and gave a well founded advice on how to go about it07:54
DocScrutinizerthat's why I was WTF when I thought we got per-app in transitions.ini now nevertheless07:55
* DocScrutinizer waves07:56
flailingmonkeysorry, got distracted by x-files08:04
flailingmonkeyyeah, per-app in transitions.ini would be completely WTF08:04
flailingmonkeyi'll browse chanlog to learn more08:07
flailingmonkey"hacked a dirty botch" seems to be the approach of choice for further dev of maemo5 :p08:10
