00:02.02Kralnreiser was found guilty
00:03.36jastayikes
00:03.40jastaprobably is, too :)
00:04.49jastahis wikipedia entry didn't take long to update.
00:11.20f00f-:(
00:11.25f00f-what about reiser4 stability
00:11.35Kralnnamesys is still working on it
00:11.44jastawhat a bizarre story
00:12.04f00f-yeah, he could/should have acted better in court
00:12.13jastamaybe he couldn't?
00:12.22f00f-probably true
00:12.27jastai mean, maybe he acted like a crazy man who had recently killed someone?
00:12.29jasta;)
00:12.52jastahe tried to throw that defense that he's a software engineer and therefore strange
00:12.55f00f-well judging from his comments in court, he seemed to try to elevate himself as someone who is superior
00:13.07f00f-'excessively logical' you could say
00:13.10jastabut reviewing some of the case information publicly available, he was acting a bit beyond normal software engineer crazy.
00:13.26f00f-doesn't work in court, especially when judges/jury are clewbs and not logical engineers
00:13.38jastai don't think that reasoning would work on me, either.
00:13.43f00f-jasta: yeah, definitely
00:13.49jastabeing excessively logical, you'd also find him guilty.
00:15.00jastawhat strikes me most of all is the extremely short duration of their marriage/relationship leading up to her murder
00:15.47jastait was like, what, 8 months?
00:16.53f00f-oh i thought it was longer
00:17.12jastai dont think so, let me see if i can confirm
00:17.16f00f-"In 1999, while working in Russia, Hans Reiser met and married Nina Sharanova.... The Reisers separated in May 2004, Nina Reiser filing for divorce three months later..."
00:17.19f00f-but that's just wikipedia :)
00:17.56f00f-but dude, that book he bought
00:18.01f00f-was the stupidest thing ever
00:18.03jastaoh, i may have missed that.  i concluded they had known each other only briefly because i knew she had an ex-bf in the same year that she was killed
00:18.30f00f-like, how to kill whatever, any jury is going to notice that's not normal

00:19.11jastahe probably was :)

06:12.02muthuvery early days, though
06:12.19michaelnovakjrhow come you chose 6/30 for release?
06:12.23michaelnovakjrexpecting handsets by then?

06:12.57muthubut its only v1.0
06:13.06muthuso must be demoable to interested folks
06:13.14muthumy plan is find a carrier to adopt it
06:13.22michaelnovakjrtrue.... will you be releasing it even if there are no handsets at that time?
06:13.25muthuand bundle it with their offerings
06:13.52muthuyes
06:13.56michaelnovakjrcool
06:14.03muthuto get feedback

06:19.25muthuright, doesn't make sense to spend a huge fortune
06:19.34muthuyou'll have to keep it small
06:19.40muthuwhen you start, then slowly expand
06:19.48michaelnovakjrtrue

06:25.02romainguy___I do a lot of graphics oriented stuff

06:26.38michaelnovakjrwell, nothing beats emacs

06:26.50romainguy___except a good IDE :p
06:27.14michaelnovakjrhaha
06:27.19michaelnovakjri use emacs on linux :)
06:27.25michaelnovakjrfor c programming
06:27.57jastayawn
06:28.16jastajust 1 week left until the ADC winners are announced ;)
06:28.17romainguy___speaking of which, I just wrote C code
06:28.23romainguy___it's been a long time since I did that
06:28.25michaelnovakjrc :)
06:28.33jastaromainguy___: then you'd better have someone check it ;)
06:29.06romainguy___especially since it's in adb :p
06:29.07muthuC - distant memories
06:29.19michaelnovakjrah distant is no good
06:29.20muthuhope i don't see C again!
06:29.21michaelnovakjri love C
06:29.31muthuyeah C is great
06:29.37romainguy___it is
06:29.44romainguy___but it depends on what you have to do
06:29.50romainguy___I would certainly not write a UI with it
06:29.54romainguy___(unlike some people here ;-)
06:30.06f00f-i'm toying with python for x-platform GUI's
06:30.07michaelnovakjr::cough:: gtk ::cough::
06:30.15romainguy___PyQT is really cool
06:30.23jastadestroys romain with his awesome C-fu.
06:30.29michaelnovakjrhaha
06:30.33romainguy___dodges with a Bus Error
06:30.40michaelnovakjrhaha
06:30.42jastabus errors do not occur with valid C code.
06:30.47romainguy___they just did
06:30.48romainguy___twice
06:30.53jastathen your code isn't valid fool :)
06:30.56romainguy___I was just dereferencing a NULL pointer :p
06:30.57muthuhaha
06:31.10michaelnovakjrwell obviously there's memory issues there
06:31.13f00f-i'm working on a nav/media system for an in-car computer and am considering pygame+pysdl+pyopengl
06:31.15romainguy___but a crash with only "Bus Error" in the console, it's not very helpful ^^
06:31.31f00f-C code is scary for GUI's :)
06:31.39muthutry CURSES
06:31.43muthuhehe
06:31.49f00f-heh
06:31.59muthuor is it CURSORS?
06:32.03muthuoh damn
06:32.43jastait's curses.
06:32.47muthuright
06:32.52jastaor new curses.
06:33.02muthucool, then my memory serves right
06:33.36jastaromainguy___: really, the problem is that C has just been abused *waaayyyy* too much :)
06:34.29michaelnovakjrjasta, that is because there's a lot of wrong people write C
06:34.29jastacompilers permit a lot of crud they should not.
06:34.29michaelnovakjrwriting C
06:34.29romainguy___michaelnovakjr: same for Java :p
06:34.29michaelnovakjrtrue
06:34.30michaelnovakjrverrrry true
06:34.30romainguy___jasta: I don't mind that
06:34.34romainguy___I'm more concerned about the C++ crowd :p
06:34.43jastathe ANSI C standard, in particular, is very elegant and if you write knowing it your experience will be much improved :)
06:34.44michaelnovakjrif you know how it is supposed to work then the compiler won't be fed 'crap'
06:34.56jastaromainguy___: oh, well, C++ all bets are off.  that language is bogus.
06:35.19jastawith C++*
06:36.32f00f-i guess you'd prefer erlang or haskell :P
06:38.49jastai'm gonna go to bed.
06:38.59muthujasta: wait

06:42.19jastano, i'm just probably going to give the music player specifically a name at some point.
06:42.22jastafive is the name of the system
06:42.27jastabut the player can and should have a different name
06:42.34muthuok.. the player name?

16:02.47jastavol_: well, what do you expect it to do and how have you tested that it does not do that?
16:03.19vol_I've set breakpoints and logging output on onStart, onPause, and onCreate
16:03.29vol_onCreate is hit when the service is bound
16:03.38vol_but nothing else is ever hit
16:03.56vol_I call startService inside of the onServiceConnected method of my ServiceConnection in the client
16:03.58jastatry invoking it by class, to be sure you have not screwed something else up
16:04.04vol_I am invoking it by class
16:04.16jastahuh, you are starting two services right?
16:04.18vol_Intent i = new Intent(MyClient.this, MyServer.class);
16:04.32vol_no, same service. I'm binding to it, then starting it to keep it active in the background
16:04.42vol_this way when the client closes the service continues to run
16:04.44jastai have implemented this strategy differently
16:04.55vol_if you can suggest a better way, please let me know
16:05.01jastahang on, let me pull up my code

16:06.14vol_hmm.
16:06.19jastahttp://pastebin.com/m5735c2e
16:06.22vol_if I replace my bind code with just starting the service, ti works.
16:06.24vol_*it
16:07.43jastado note that there is a special relationship you construct with this code.  specifically, being bound with BIND_AUTO_CREATE, the service cannot stop until the activity quits.
16:08.05jastabut if the activity quits, the server won't necessarily stop
16:08.34vol_well, in the other app I made (music player) it did stop when the activity stopped
16:08.50jastai assure you, it will not.  check my code.
16:09.28vol_I'm looking at your code. you're starting the service, then binding
16:09.30jastaif the service invokes stopSelf() at any point, it will stop when the BIND_AUTO_CREATE relationship disappears (the activity quits, or unbinds)
16:09.40jastaor if some other component calls stopService.
16:09.42jastabut not otherwise
16:10.14jastathe relatiosnhip i've setup here is a service that synchronizes in the background but that you can open an activity to spy on its progress
16:10.31jastaso it can continually start/bind to it even while it's already running (or not).
16:10.36jastaand disconnect at will and it will stay running.
16:10.45jastabut if the service finishes syncing, it will not forcefully disconnect
16:10.56jastait'll wait until the activity quits to stop itself

16:11.22vol_hmm.
16:11.41vol_What I did as a test was bind the service, then unbind it. The service stopped running.
16:11.55jastaand it would without startService
16:11.57vol_I never called stopSelf, however.
16:12.04vol_alright, I guess I misunderstood you
16:12.17jastathat's why i'm doing both.  but i start the service first.
16:12.36vol_ok, I will try it that way.
16:12.55jastaalso do realize that BIND_AUTO_CREATE is important here
16:14.46vol_yes, I've been using that
16:14.57jastafyi, looking at this now, i have no idea why i create two intents
16:15.08jastai must have refactored the code that way without realizing it
16:16.35leivjasta:i have find the problem, that i defined a same class that has defined in a .jar file."already added: Lentagged/audioformats/AudioFile" is the class

17:11.15jastaif thats what you mean
17:11.24KralnI mean from the menus

17:11.36Kralnand youtube?
17:11.38jastaaccessories, terminal as its always been
17:11.47Kralnit's a great linux distro for people new to operating systems
17:11.59Kralnit's a terrible distro for power users or for people used to windows.
17:12.14Kralnthere's still no good 'newb' linux distro
17:12.38jastaactually, i'm more of a power user than you've probably ever met.
17:12.41jastaand i like ubuntu
17:13.03jastaFirefox is actually one of the only GUI apps I use :)
17:13.13jastaand even then, I am familiar with and often use links ;)

17:13.59Kralnthat doesn't answer my question
17:14.07Kralnwhat do you like, as a power user, that ubuntu gives you that debian doesn't
17:14.16jastathough i find ubuntu makes me fight less when i try to install it on newer hardware
17:14.47jastabecause they keep the kernel more up-to-date, more aggressively patched, and the restricted drivers system they employ works nice.
17:15.21jastai'm installing the multiverse flashplugin package now btw
17:15.25jastai'll let you know if it works
17:15.35Kralndid that install automagically when you went to youtube?
17:15.44jastayup, worked perfect.
17:15.52jastait opened an automagic box that asked me to next my way through it, yes
17:16.06jastajust like it would've in Windows
17:16.30jastathough i can't say that i like the new firefox.  i'm not sure why they chose to put a beta version on here too
17:16.44Kralnfirefox 3 beta 5?
17:16.49jastayeah
17:17.00Kralnactually 3b5 looks/runs great on osx. very well integrated
17:17.15romainguy___Kraln: the integration is still lacking on many aspects
17:17.20jastaright off the bat i'm struck that iGoogle looks stupid because the buttons and widgets from GTK are "shaped"
17:17.22romainguy___but it's much better than it used to be
17:17.48jastabut they are not transparently shaped.  they are a perfect gray rectangle with shaped buttons atop that ;)
17:18.16jastai'm gonna test all these firefox performance claims and hit up google docs with a giant spreadsheet
17:18.35jastayuck, the auto history bar that pops down when you start typing looks awful.  way too cluttered.
17:18.40jastaand they use bold and underline!  eww.
17:19.01Kralnromainguy: it's better. I still use safari
17:19.23jastaactually, performance in google docs does seem to be much improved with the new firefox
17:19.25romainguy___I still use safari too
17:19.31romainguy___when I need Gecko I turn to Camino
17:20.00jastaso, i guess my only problem from the dist-upgrade is that urxvt fonts don't look right.  too much letter spacing.
17:20.07jastabut i used to have this problem before.  i just don't remember how i solved it.
17:20.16jastamaybe there's some xft: rendering engine feature
17:20.36Kralnso why ubuntu over, say, opensuse
17:20.50romainguy___and why not?
17:20.56romainguy___Ubuntu offers a nice experience out of the box
17:20.59romainguy___it just works
17:21.05romainguy___it has a nice desktop
17:21.12Kralnhe doesn't use the ui
17:21.17romainguy___ah
17:21.21romainguy___then he's not a power user :)
17:21.33KralnI'm curious as to why as a 'more power user than I've ever met' he chooses ubuntu, is all
17:21.38jastaUbuntu's package maintainers are much less stoned than Debian's, too.
17:22.22jastaKraln: Power user doesn't mean I like wasting my time.  If I liked that, I'd use Gentoo or RedHat.
17:22.36jastaOr Windows :)
17:23.20jastaI spent a lot of time fighting with Linux to learn it.  Now that I've got that out of the way, it would just seem tedious to keep fighting.
17:23.58romainguy___that reminds me what I first started using Linux
17:24.11romainguy___making X run on 486 laptops was very very painful at the time :))
17:24.13Kralnlast time I had to mess with ubuntu it was nothing but fighting. especially to get audio working I had to compile up some kernels and soforth
17:24.48Kralnand, as far as 'just works' goes, I'm pretty happy with osx =)
17:24.48mnel_workromainguy___: I had X running on a 386 with 8mb of ram.  It was terrible. :)
17:25.00romainguy___mnel_work: a *laptop*
17:25.08romainguy___the problem was getting X to work with the screen :)
17:25.18mnel_workneomagic?
17:25.19Kralnromainguy: I had a 486 touch-screen laptop tablet thingy
17:25.23Kralnthat was a huge pita
17:26.10romainguy___that said thing weren't that great a year ago when I tried Ubuntu again
17:26.19romainguy___it was stuck in 1280x900 on my 30"
17:26.22mnel_workMy old pentium laptop didn't have quite enough memory to do 800x600@16bit color, so in windows you could only do 8bit.  In X, I was able to do a custom modeline at 800x576 and get my full 16bit color. :D
17:26.53Kralnromainguy: yeah, configuring X on ubuntu also required some custom asshattery three months ago when I set it up for the gf
17:27.33mnel_workKraln: I had to do that for my media box, but I've got a rather weird configuration there.
17:29.16jastamy gf uses Ubuntu ;)
17:29.53muthunow we know why jasta uses ubuntu
17:30.02jastaactually, for simple users, it is much better than Windows.  you fight with it a lot less for the basic e-mail and media.
17:30.18Kralnjasta: if they've never seen windows
17:30.22Kralnotherwise it's just confusing
17:30.25jastaalso, for some reason my girlfriend *loves* when it has updates. a nd it has updates like every other day.
17:30.44Kralnseen this? http://contentconsumer.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/is-ubuntu-useable-enough-for-my-girlfriend/
17:30.48jastaKraln: i wouldn't agree with that.
17:30.55jastamostly, it is very similar to Windows.
17:31.12jastain terms of its basic user experience assumptions.  you can double click on things.  menus do the same thing.  right click usually does something.
17:31.49Kraln"where's the internet"
