04:07.21 | convivial | my application is not running ... it is simply hell world |
04:07.41 | convivial | I just get a a little dot moving across the damn screen |
04:07.50 | convivial | ok, it ran |
04:07.59 | convivial | why is it so damn slow to run? |
04:08.03 | convivial | damn! |
04:08.07 | jasta | because it's an emulator. |
04:08.09 | jasta | and it has to boot. |
04:08.11 | muthu | convivial: it takes some time to boot |
04:08.16 | convivial | that sucks |
04:08.22 | convivial | I hope actually phone isn't like that. |
04:08.24 | jasta | it only has to boot once. then you just leave it running. |
04:08.33 | muthu | phone would be faster |
04:08.34 | convivial | and why can't it be faster? |
04:08.47 | jasta | convivial: why should they spend time optimizing that? |
04:08.54 | convivial | my main complaint with Nokia S60 EMU is that it is slow too |
04:09.20 | convivial | jasta: because it increases my output ... i program more effectively and I have fewer coffee breaks |
04:09.43 | convivial | besides, do everything well is what I say |
04:09.50 | jasta | if the emulator boots faster? |
04:09.52 | convivial | don't half ass any part of it |
04:09.58 | muthu | convivial: once you have the emulator up and running, no issues |
04:10.07 | jasta | again, you can leave the emulator running. then interact with it. |
04:10.08 | convivial | muthu: sure. |
04:10.21 | Kraln | sleep time |
04:10.32 | convivial | so I can leave it open ? no need to close? no issues with leaving it open? such as resource constraints on PC? |
04:10.35 | muthu | Kraln: droid dreams! |
04:10.58 | jasta | convivial: it will not be significant. |
04:11.08 | convivial | ok, we'll see. |
04:11.36 | convivial | well, i wrote my first app... i too and taking my fat ass pot belly self to bed... night |
04:11.54 | convivial | *bald headed self < |
04:12.00 | muthu | convivial: nite |
04:17.08 | muthu | wow, heated forums |
04:17.19 | muthu | thankfully i'm not posting anymore ;) |
04:18.05 | muthu | dan clearing up a few judging queries helped a lot |
04:20.07 | muthu | jasta: you believe may 5 is the day? |
04:20.46 | jasta | dan has confirmed twice that they are on schedule to hit may 5th. |
04:21.04 | muthu | right |
04:21.13 | jasta | last Tuesday he also said that they were in the final 100. Which meant they have 5 days and some change to go from 100 to 50. Is that so hard? |
04:21.21 | muthu | not for me |
04:21.27 | muthu | but why the forum users are so confused? |
04:21.54 | jasta | i think they are associating server activity too closely to the judging process. |
04:22.00 | muthu | correct |
04:22.12 | muthu | for the top 50, i'm guessing they don't even run the app |
04:22.19 | jasta | i even claim that i only saw 2 hits to my system, but morrildl confirmed that all 4 judges scored my app, and none reported broken. |
04:22.31 | muthu | jasta: makes sense to me |
04:22.43 | jasta | so that's why i think people are confused. |
04:22.50 | muthu | how hard is it to get your music player? |
04:23.01 | muthu | i look at your app, immediately understand what its for |
04:23.03 | muthu | then the readme |
04:23.13 | muthu | so guess that's the way the judges went |
04:23.29 | jasta | perhaps. but really, let's just wait and see. |
04:23.39 | muthu | my cooking app is either a hit or a miss |
04:23.40 | jasta | i'm going drinking tomorrow, regardless. |
04:23.52 | muthu | i'm already in may 5.. waiting... |
04:23.59 | rhett | jasta, is your media player open now? |
04:24.39 | muthu | i'm hoping the judges like eating big time ;) |
04:24.57 | rhett | we're pretty excited for them to announce the top 50. Wow, it will be stressful to try to to make the top 20 |
04:25.11 | muthu | top 20 would be cool |
04:25.46 | muthu | $250k - can set up a startup comfortably |
04:27.37 | muthu | by now, dan knows the top 50! |
04:29.21 | muthu | jasta: how are the winners announced? |
04:30.09 | muthu | ok |
04:30.18 | muthu | its not before wednesday |
04:30.43 | muthu | now i can get to work :) |

04:45.57 | muthu | haha |
04:46.11 | muthu | hey thanks for the ADC explanation btw |
04:46.17 | muthu | people were all over me!! |
04:47.12 | dueynz | why were they all over you? |
04:47.26 | muthu | dueynz: roasting me for saying a few facts |
04:47.40 | muthu | like top 100 were filtered |
04:47.42 | morrildl | hehehehehe |
04:47.56 | dueynz | i figured you were just bsing |
04:47.59 | morrildl | muthu: that's what you get for playing your insider's hand ;) |
04:48.00 | muthu | haha |
04:48.12 | muthu | true, learned my lessons |
04:48.15 | dueynz | well stating obv facts |
04:48.45 | muthu | i'm so tempted to reply, but keeping quiet for now |
04:49.03 | muthu | since i know emotions will run high until results are out |
04:49.41 | dueynz | ah im not to worried about the result |
04:49.52 | muthu | a lot of us don't |
04:50.07 | muthu | but there are a few, who just can't take it |
04:50.13 | dueynz | yeah i guess |
04:51.12 | muthu | morrildl: is it May 7 for sure? |
04:51.42 | morrildl | muthu: no |
04:51.50 | muthu | ok |
04:51.55 | morrildl | a lot depends on the attorneys |
04:52.03 | muthu | that much of legal work?? |
04:52.05 | morrildl | apparently they have to check with the US State Dept |
04:52.11 | muthu | wow |
04:52.14 | dueynz | qq |
04:52.20 | dueynz | muthu: there goes all your chances! |
04:52.24 | morrildl | b/c we can't give money to terrorists or people residing in a set of forbidden countries |
04:52.24 | muthu | haha |
04:52.41 | muthu | dueynz: i have a SSN! |
04:52.47 | dueynz | must be stolen |
04:52.50 | muthu | hehe |
04:52.56 | muthu | dueynz: check your card!!!! |
04:53.07 | muthu | lol |
04:53.13 | dueynz | I don't live in USA |
04:53.17 | dueynz | so I do not have a SSN ;) |
04:53.20 | muthu | NZ.. noticed |
04:53.50 | muthu | morrildl: so you do the legal work, before selecting 50? |
04:54.25 | dueynz | it would be very funny if it gets delayed until next week |
04:54.34 | morrildl | we have to make sure they are not on the list before they can win |
04:54.40 | muthu | correct |
04:54.51 | morrildl | ultimately taht's why we have the "first 100" |
04:54.58 | muthu | agree |
04:55.05 | morrildl | they are alternates in case one of the top 50 is banned or something |
04:55.17 | muthu | yeah, but doubt it |
04:55.22 | dueynz | im 99% sure im not in the top 100 |
04:55.29 | muthu | dueynz: how so? |
04:55.34 | dueynz | no hits |
04:55.43 | muthu | you have a readme? |
04:55.46 | dueynz | sure |
04:56.12 | muthu | is your readme out of the world? |
04:56.18 | dueynz | ? |
04:56.26 | dueynz | no its to the point |
04:56.27 | muthu | is it really impressive? |
04:56.43 | muthu | i'm trying to tally your no hits to your readme |
04:56.50 | dueynz | oh i had 5 hits |
04:56.54 | dueynz | just no hits recently |
04:56.58 | muthu | ha come on! |
04:57.01 | muthu | you had 5 |
04:57.17 | muthu | and you say 99% you are not in top 100 |
04:57.22 | muthu | you are BIG pessimist! |
04:57.26 | dueynz | yeah i am |
04:57.54 | muthu | dueynz: the OCR right? |
04:58.01 | dueynz | yeah |
04:58.08 | muthu | what? that's a winner man!! |
04:58.11 | dueynz | the app was pretty simple on the outside |
04:58.26 | muthu | such a useful app |
04:58.29 | dueynz | will see |
04:58.38 | dueynz | anyway doesn't bother me either way |
04:58.49 | muthu | you can easily find out |
04:58.50 | morrildl | ocr? |
04:58.52 | dueynz | as i have to do it to get honours |
04:59.14 | muthu | morrildl: you didn't check out dueynz app? |
04:59.37 | dueynz | muthu: my app was pretty basic |
04:59.43 | dueynz | it doesnt have a camera interface |
04:59.53 | dueynz | and it doesnt support complex pictures yet |
04:59.58 | dueynz | bbl home |
05:00.03 | muthu | cool |
05:00.12 | muthu | morrildl: did you see my cooking app? |
05:00.37 | muthu | * our * |
05:00.41 | muthu | its a team submission |
05:01.22 | morrildl | has checked out a lot of apps :) |
05:01.28 | morrildl | and yeah, I saw the cooking app |
05:01.33 | muthu | you like it? |
05:02.42 | muthu | not much of an innovation.. but a useful one |
05:03.37 | mickrobk_ | @morrildl: now i have to ask if u saw my painting app - fingerprint |
05:03.57 | jerkface03 | morrildl: results tmrw? |

05:07.40 | muthu | right |
05:08.24 | muthu | 1 cooking, 1 painting etc., |
05:08.27 | muthu | haha |
05:10.25 | muthu | morrildl: are you planning to send the scores to the participants? |
05:10.45 | morrildl | we are not currently planning to share the scores, I think |
05:10.50 | muthu | heard scoble is doing an android video? are you in it? |
05:10.59 | morrildl | ? |
05:11.07 | morrildl | doing an android video? |
05:11.10 | jerkface03 | how is it sharing if you're just emailing the participant back with their score? |
05:11.27 | muthu | scoble tweeted me, that he's soon planning to do an android interview. |
05:11.29 | morrildl | ^share^reveal :) |
05:11.37 | morrildl | ahh |
05:11.59 | muthu | asked scoble about android coverage, and that's the reply he gave me |

05:17.37 | jasta | out |
05:17.38 | morrildl | wtf |
05:17.43 | morrildl | how do you type that fast, muthu? |
05:17.44 | muthu | haha |
05:17.55 | muthu | i had a typewriting class |
05:17.59 | muthu | very young |
05:18.10 | morrildl | god if your code comes out that fast, why aren't YOU writing Android? |
05:18.16 | muthu | haha |
05:18.26 | jasta | hmm |
05:18.30 | muthu | Android is my saviour, now!! |
05:18.37 | morrildl | jasta: nah, we have to check with the state department to make sure people aren't known terrorists and such |
05:18.56 | morrildl | and also, the final-100 judges don't have to have their scores back before Weds |
05:19.02 | jerkface03 | morrildl: are you joking or are you being serious? |
05:19.09 | morrildl | jerkface03: about what? |
05:19.16 | jerkface03 | morrildl: so what you're telling me, is that terrorists can't win prizes? |
05:19.27 | morrildl | jerkface03: correct |
05:19.38 | morrildl | jerkface03: also, people who live in Syria, Iran, etc. etc. can't either |
05:19.43 | morrildl | Cuba I think too |
05:19.47 | muthu | Italy |
05:19.50 | jerkface03 | Canada |
05:19.54 | morrildl | muthu: that too |
05:19.57 | muthu | NOT India |
05:19.59 | morrildl | jerkface03: no, just Quebec |
05:20.04 | jerkface03 | lol |
05:20.07 | jerkface03 | no one likes quebec |
05:20.07 | muthu | NOT SanFrancisco |
05:20.09 | jerkface03 | not even the canadians |
05:20.34 | morrildl | is trying so hard not to make ethnopolitical jokes right now |
05:20.58 | jerkface03 | morrildl: so have any peoples names come up on the background terror checks? |
05:21.25 | jasta | morrildl: you're serious, you guys haven't heard back from the final judges? |
05:21.32 | jasta | they've had the apps for a week? |
05:21.48 | morrildl | oh I'm sure we've heard from them |
05:21.58 | morrildl | anyway it's not quite a week |
05:22.03 | morrildl | I think it'll be a week on Weds |
05:22.11 | jasta | i meant, haven't received their scores? |
05:22.11 | muthu | i can understand about the delay |
05:22.30 | morrildl | it's not a delay :P |
05:22.37 | morrildl | it's well within the stated window :P |
05:22.40 | jasta | damnit, i really thought we were finding out tomorrow |
05:22.54 | morrildl | I don't know why people keep assuming these things are delays |
05:22.57 | morrildl | they did that for M5 too |
05:23.16 | morrildl | We said something like "Yeah, we took everyone's feedback into account and will be releasing M5 in a couple weeks" |
05:23.22 | jasta | i had actually thought i confirmed with you twice that you guys were on track meet the may 5th date. |
05:23.22 | muthu | morrildl: its not a delay, if we don't count the edit that happened midway |
05:23.39 | morrildl | and everyone reported it as "ZOMG TEH GOOGEL DELAYS TEH SDK!!1!" |
05:23.50 | muthu | haha |
05:24.09 | morrildl | muthu: well, that edit was not me :) |
05:24.18 | muthu | yeah, right! |
05:24.20 | jasta | *sigh* |
05:24.34 | jasta | this is agonizing hehe |
05:24.37 | morrildl | there are.... uh.... I think 4 people who know how to edit that page and have permission to |
05:24.37 | muthu | here's the deal |
05:24.51 | muthu | you can make all of us happy, by saying we won :) |
05:24.58 | muthu | right now! |
05:24.58 | morrildl | Well |
05:25.03 | morrildl | That would make you all happy right now |
05:25.13 | morrildl | But some of you might be pretty pissed off later this week |
05:25.18 | muthu | oh oh |
05:25.51 | muthu | but do you know? |
05:25.53 | jasta | morrildl: so what is the new plan? any time this week? |
05:25.56 | morrildl | do I know what? |
05:26.02 | muthu | the top 50? |
05:26.05 | morrildl | jasta: Weds-ish |
05:26.13 | morrildl | muthu: what about them? |
05:26.16 | jasta | lame. |
05:26.31 | morrildl | I should probably go update the script that collates the results |
05:26.36 | muthu | if i know the winners, it would be very hard for me to not give hints |
05:26.38 | muthu | ;) |
05:26.57 | morrildl | muthu: I think you'd find that when your job depends on you NOT giving hints, it becomes a lot easier ;) |
05:27.01 | jasta | muthu: i would assume that if they knew the winners, they would release that information. |
05:27.09 | muthu | haha |
05:27.11 | morrildl | jasta is correct |
05:27.20 | jasta | i mean, why would you want to just sit on it if it's final and decided? |
05:27.28 | morrildl | heh |
05:27.30 | muthu | jasta: its the legal work now |
05:27.37 | jasta | the legal work of what? |
05:27.38 | morrildl | b/c the mktg people want to refine the crap out of the "message" |

05:28.13 | mickrobk_ | @morrildl: but u do know the top 100..... though ur prbly bound by nda huh |
05:28.18 | jasta | i must admit, i'm very disappointed that the winners won't be released tomorrow. |
05:28.25 | morrildl | I do know the top-100, yes |
05:28.35 | jerkface03 | join the club |
05:28.47 | morrildl | jasta: yeah, I hear you |
05:28.50 | muthu | morrildl: were you satisfied with the top 100? |
05:28.54 | rhett | we can't know if we're top 100 now? |
05:28.56 | jasta | you confirmed twice that you guys were on target to meet the 5th deadline. |
05:29.15 | jasta | i figured there'd be no problem meeting that date, sigh. |
05:29.59 | muthu | i too thought May 5 is the day |

05:31.01 | muthu | jasta: your plans are all screwed huh? |
05:31.18 | jasta | not really, but i am disappointed. |
05:31.26 | muthu | yeah.. this wait might be longer |
05:31.44 | jasta | i mean, no reason to cancel drinking just because of this setback :) |
05:31.49 | muthu | oh no |
05:31.54 | muthu | life must go on ;) |
05:32.04 | rhett | ooh cinco de mayo. I think I'll operate the ATM in spanish today |
05:32.05 | umdk1d4 | ooh active people tonight :) |
05:32.10 | jasta | but still, i swear morrildl confirmed that May 5th would be the day :\ |
05:32.13 | jasta | just last week, even |
05:32.24 | muthu | jasta: he fooled you |
05:32.31 | muthu | got it? |
05:32.33 | muthu | haha |
05:32.38 | jasta | what? |
05:32.57 | jasta | what would he stand to gain by misinforming us? |
05:33.00 | muthu | now we know May 07 is the date |
05:33.07 | umdk1d4 | im assuming most people have already found this good writeup about adc results process http://www.helloandroid.com/node/532 |
05:33.17 | jasta | if he says Weds-ish, I wouldn't conclude that May 7th is the date. |
05:33.22 | jerkface03 | jasta: it's only a few more days |
05:33.27 | jerkface03 | i'm not too sure what good sulking will do |
05:33.32 | umdk1d4 | oh it was in the forums too i guess |
05:33.56 | muthu | umdk1d4: oh yeah, that was a nice one |
05:34.20 | umdk1d4 | im glad dan took the time to explain it |
05:34.42 | jasta | alright, whatever. |
05:34.44 | muthu | it might be May 09 |
05:35.04 | umdk1d4 | oh heh crazy its may 5th already |
05:35.27 | muthu | as i noted earlier, if May 5 skips then it might be May 9 |

05:48.51 | muthu | wouldn't it be funny, Google announces the winners and the top 10 are terrorists!! |
05:48.52 | muthu | hehe |
05:48.57 | jerkface03 | ya tell me out |
05:49.07 | jerkface03 | i was held at the peacearch bordercrossing once |
05:49.11 | umdk1d4 | i dont thinkg they will rank the top 50, just release a list maybe |
05:49.11 | jerkface03 | does that mean im a terrorist? |
05:49.43 | duey | i am back! |
05:49.55 | muthu | jerkface03: US has the definitions and they'll go by that |
05:50.10 | duey | lol muthu |
05:50.21 | duey | you certainly observe and spew |
05:50.26 | jerkface03 | muthu: the definition is: anyone who has an arabic-sounding name |
05:50.37 | muthu | jerkface03: oh right |
05:50.50 | muthu | i was in US in 2001, and i know how it feels |
05:50.50 | jerkface03 | i feel sorry for white girls who have the name ali |
05:51.21 | muthu | especially going through the airports at that time |
05:51.55 | muthu | you would be ridiculed, laughed and then insulted - by the airport staff |
05:52.36 | muthu | thankfully, guess it quickly disappeared and now we are back to normal |
05:52.51 | jerkface03 | nope it's still around now, the us border guards have a tendancy to be jackasses |
05:53.01 | muthu | right |
05:53.13 | muthu | i expect the worst always |
05:53.24 | muthu | so doesn't bother me anymore |
05:54.51 | muthu | i remember the times when you can carry jars and jars of oily pickles in planes, without any issues |
05:54.55 | muthu | haha |
05:55.28 | jerkface03 | muthu: before 2001 the us/canada border was a joke |
05:55.36 | muthu | yeah |
05:55.37 | jerkface03 | you could walk across a field and you'd be in the us |
05:55.42 | jerkface03 | now they have sensors and cameras and all kinds of shit |
05:55.43 | muthu | correct |
05:55.57 | muthu | we went to niagra.. and it was like cakewalk |
05:56.05 | muthu | 1996.. i guess |
05:56.05 | duey | i want to work on classification of suspects |
05:56.08 | duey | that would be cool |
05:56.14 | duey | but very very evil |
05:56.24 | muthu | duey: how you do it? |
05:56.37 | duey | well I guess you could detect stress levels |
05:56.41 | duey | via facial expressions |
05:56.48 | duey | the tech isnt really around yet |
05:56.54 | duey | but it will happen |
05:57.04 | jerkface03 | duey: whats to stop the terrorist from taking a xanex? |
05:57.05 | muthu | haha |
05:57.26 | duey | detct they have taken xanex! |
05:57.32 | muthu | duey: hope you are not catching me after i have that heavy biriyani for lunch |
05:57.41 | jerkface03 | and how you going to do that? force everyone in the airport to take a fucking bloodtest? |
05:57.48 | muthu | facial expressions!! |
05:57.48 | duey | yes! |
05:57.49 | duey | haha |
05:58.10 | duey | "please stay here for 10 days while we process your blood sample" |
05:58.16 | muthu | lol |
05:58.23 | muthu | right there in the toilets |
05:58.32 | muthu | we'll provide with you everything you need.. haha |
05:59.42 | jerkface03 | they'll give you a nice suite in abugrahb while they process your results |
06:00.05 | jerkface03 | complete with prison guards to force you naked, rub you down with feces, and pile you ontop of each other |
06:00.08 | jerkface03 | while they take pictures |
06:00.18 | jerkface03 | it's like being at the 4 seasons |
06:00.22 | muthu | yeah terrible |
06:01.29 | muthu | in any travel, the hours you spend at the airport immigration counters are the worst |
06:01.48 | duey | mines always been pleasent |
06:01.56 | duey | but i only travel to aus from nz |
06:02.27 | muthu | duey: you need a visa to aus? |
06:02.38 | duey | not if you are from nz |
06:02.42 | muthu | right |
06:03.01 | morrildl | Screw it |
06:03.17 | duey | home time morrildl :)? |
06:03.19 | morrildl | ADC2's Terms and Conditions are simply going to be an elaborate game of red-light/green-light |
06:03.25 | duey | hahaha |
06:03.31 | morrildl | this whole administration thing, just not worth it |
06:03.35 | duey | i agree |
06:03.56 | duey | you reads them anyway? |
06:04.13 | muthu | morrildl: you set the rules up front and stick to them |
06:04.48 | morrildl | muthu: yeah, that's the problem ;) |
06:04.57 | morrildl | next time the rules are going to be much easier to stick to ;) |
06:05.28 | muthu | right |
06:05.32 | muthu | keep it simple |
06:05.41 | morrildl | hehehehe |
06:05.49 | duey | i dont even know what the rules are |
06:05.54 | duey | no copyright is the only one i know |
06:06.10 | morrildl | actually the only issue is just automation really |
06:06.34 | duey | robots |
06:06.35 | muthu | morrildl: what's the need for automation? |
06:06.38 | morrildl | all jasonchen and I had to do was automate the process of distributing apps for judging |
06:07.28 | morrildl | muthu: fairness |
06:07.46 | muthu | morrildl: i can see how automation would complicate things |
06:07.52 | muthu | even though the objective is fair |
06:07.53 | morrildl | I'm sure some poor bastard judge out there has an 800MHz Pentium III or something |
06:08.04 | morrildl | we don't want him failing everyone b/c his laptop is too slow |
06:08.12 | morrildl | so we sent out laptops for judges to judge on |
06:08.32 | muthu | right |
06:08.35 | umdk1d4 | did they run linux? :D |
06:09.06 | morrildl | meanwhile VP of Something/Other at Alliance Member, Inc. is probably not going to know what to do with "start up the emulator, don't forget to use --sdcard if the README file says to" |
06:09.20 | muthu | now the judges have fallen in love with the laptop, they don't want to give out the scores fast |
06:09.29 | morrildl | umdk1d4: Ubuntu |
06:09.37 | morrildl | umdk1d4: whatever the H version was |
06:09.46 | morrildl | Hello Hairball |
06:09.48 | morrildl | something like that |
06:09.50 | duey | one thing that might be good is to be less random in the assignment of judges (assuming they were random in the first place) |
06:09.57 | umdk1d4 | hoary hedgehog :D awesome |
06:10.13 | morrildl | duey: why? |
06:10.19 | duey | because you might get a cluster of judges from the same area with certain favouritism towards some apps |
06:10.23 | morrildl | yeah it was pretty random, it was so random I got an interview question out of it |
06:10.55 | jerkface03 | how random? what algorithm did you use? |
06:10.55 | duey | say for example you were randomly assigned to people all from the same company |
06:11.03 | muthu | my guess is a lot of super duper innovative apps will be too hot for the judges to handle |
06:11.11 | umdk1d4 | so because some of these judges were VP-level at other OHA companies, our scores probably heavily depended on our readme presentation |
06:11.54 | muthu | umdk1d4: i would say readme will have to make an impact |
06:11.54 | duey | umdk1d4, all depends on the person |
06:12.05 | muthu | * equally just like the apk |
06:12.30 | muthu | the right balance between readme and apk will be a good bet |
06:12.40 | umdk1d4 | true true |
06:13.22 | muthu | hope my partner did a good job with readme ;) |
06:13.22 | umdk1d4 | the depth of the apk needs to be there, but from the forums it sounds like most judges are just looking at the surface |
06:13.35 | muthu | for me its simple |
06:13.45 | muthu | you need to treat the judges like any other customer |
06:14.01 | morrildl | jerkface03: all in the fullness of time |
06:14.20 | jerkface03 | morrildl: never heard of it |
06:14.27 | jerkface03 | googling.. |
06:14.53 | duey | lol |
06:14.55 | muthu | the standalone apps will never know if they crashed |
06:15.11 | morrildl | neither will some network apps I suppose |
06:15.21 | duey | its a mystery! |
06:15.24 | duey | :D |
06:15.26 | muthu | the networkapps will know |
06:15.31 | muthu | since they are trying to connect |
06:15.42 | duey | muthu, i dont know if someone tried to conect and failed |
06:15.53 | morrildl | muthu: ...unless the author is too busy complaining about how the judges aren't judging their app ;) |
06:16.00 | muthu | haha |
06:16.01 | duey | lol |
06:16.41 | duey | I was actually impressed with the speed at which judging started |
06:17.14 | jerkface03 | morrildl: so i don't get it, if we ask you personally for our score will you be able to give it to us? or are you not giving them at all no ifs ands or buts? |
06:17.24 | morrildl | I can't give out scores |
06:17.34 | jerkface03 | hrm |
06:17.36 | jerkface03 | k |
06:17.39 | morrildl | whether we are going to or not is not yet decided |
06:17.48 | morrildl | ultimately it's not my decision |
06:17.51 | muthu | morrildl: a fun question |
06:18.03 | muthu | there's about 100 that are logged in here |
06:18.15 | muthu | what's the percentage of them, who are in top 100? |
06:18.19 | duey | ... |
06:18.29 | duey | speaking of which |
06:18.36 | duey | never seen this channel at 100 morrildl |

08:09.20 | davidw | looks like the race is on between the baby and the results;-) |
08:10.04 | varjag | breaking is so 80s |
08:10.14 | varjag | davidw, heh cool :) |
08:13.32 | duey | Lede, sometimes i wonder.. |
08:13.50 | Lede | davidw: congratulations then! |
08:14.13 | davidw | heh, well... it may be a day or two, but it seems as if things are getting started |
08:14.25 | varjag | "I suspect very few of the 1788 submissions were in it just for the |

08:14.27 | davidw | is definitely rooting for the baby over the android results:-) |
08:14.35 | varjag | *cough* *cough* |
08:14.40 | duey | davidw, might get both! |
08:14.47 | duey | at the same time.. |
08:14.48 | Lede | duey: what is it that you wonder :-o |
08:14.53 | duey | re digg.com |
08:15.31 | muthu | davidw: you win, will you name the baby as "droid" ;) |
08:15.40 | Lede | varjag: well everyone wants to win, so in a sense a lot of people want to get the money |
08:15.48 | davidw | don't think so;-) |
08:15.59 | Lede | or Java |

08:16.40 | Lede | duey: yeah, i'm telling myself not to expect to win |
08:16.43 | muthu | i thought today it'll be over |

08:17.07 | varjag | muthu, they say wednesday's likely now? |
08:17.16 | muthu | yeah likely |

08:17.21 | Lede | i think friday |
08:17.34 | muthu | May 9 - most likely |
08:17.42 | varjag | yeah what we need for good weekend |
08:18.00 | varjag | 1788 teams drunk |
08:18.10 | muthu | just wanted to get over it and move on |

08:27.10 | duey | they mean that if you arein the final 100 |
08:27.14 | muthu | duey: who came up with that number? |
08:27.20 | duey | uh |
08:27.22 | muthu | right, that's what they say |
08:27.33 | duey | 15 judges |

08:32.55 | duey | yeah neither |
08:33.00 | duey | maybe they just read the docs |
08:33.05 | duey | keep its secret |
08:33.10 | muthu | right |
08:33.30 | duey | wait and see i guess :) |
08:33.30 | muthu | what's Yahoo thinking? |
08:33.38 | muthu | 33$ not good enough? |
08:33.51 | duey | quite clear yahoo board doesnt want to be part of MS |
08:33.56 | duey | and i dont blame them |
08:34.02 | muthu | they were at 19$ to start with |
08:34.21 | muthu | yhoo is not able to do anything significant by itself |
08:34.30 | duey | they are at 28.67 atm.. |

08:35.40 | duey | Pre-Market: 22.31 -6.36 (-22.18%) |
08:35.47 | muthu | yup |
08:35.51 | duey | does that means its fallen 6$ prior to opening? |
08:36.05 | muthu | yeah.. it'll open a lot less |
08:36.31 | muthu | http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/04/yahoo-prepares-for-a-black-monday/ |
08:37.10 | muthu | if i was jerry yang, i would have happily taken 33 |
08:37.45 | Lede | i'm happy microsoft didnt get their stinking paws on yahoo |
08:38.22 | muthu | Lede: it depends on what yhoo is planning for the future |
08:38.37 | duey | muthu, MS poisens everything it touches |
08:38.47 | duey | im sure lang doesnt want his company to die |
08:38.55 | Lede | muthu: what do you think microsoft will do with yahoo mail? |
08:39.27 | Lede | merge it with hotmails (one of the best free email services turned into shit) |
08:39.40 | muthu | my point is, yhoo has reached its peak already |
08:39.56 | Lede | peak of what? |
08:39.58 | duey | yahoo doesnt have a brand |
08:40.02 | duey | well brands a bad word |
08:40.06 | duey | they dont have a stigma |
08:40.09 | muthu | yhoo cannot battle google |
08:40.14 | duey | like when i hear google i think search |
08:40.16 | duey | microsoft i think windows |
08:40.21 | duey | yahoo i think ??? |
08:40.22 | muthu | yhoo is dead already |
08:40.34 | duey | what is yahoo? |
08:40.39 | muthu | haha |
08:40.40 | Lede | duey: yahoo is really known as /the/ email service and IM in many countries |
08:40.49 | duey | Lede, i guess but its not here |
08:40.49 | Lede | in like Japan and east-europe |
08:41.00 | muthu | and msft merger might be a good thing actually for yhoo |
08:41.14 | duey | probably would of killed msft |
08:41.15 | duey | so yeah :D |
08:41.19 | Lede | muthu: only good for the shareholders |
08:41.21 | muthu | haha |
08:41.24 | varjag | ok, i'm from eastern europe, and yahoo there is known as the american thing |
08:41.32 | Lede | muthu: the company yahoo as we know it wouldnt be the same anymore |
08:41.51 | muthu | Lede: YHOO is going down |
08:42.00 | Lede | down? |
08:42.06 | duey | its partnership with google might be interesting |
08:42.15 | muthu | that's what i said the peak is up for yhoo |
08:42.36 | muthu | battling google is not easy |
08:42.47 | Lede | ugh |
08:43.03 | Lede | they are even cooperating with google serving ads you know |
08:43.04 | muthu | msft + yhoo might be a good competition for goog |
08:43.05 | duey | problem with yahoo is that have put there fingers in to many things |
08:43.12 | duey | just like msft |
08:43.24 | duey | msft should be concentrating on fixing windows |
08:43.31 | duey | yet they are off pissing around with yahoo |
08:43.55 | muthu | only goog seems to be focussed now |
08:44.02 | muthu | making all the right moves |
08:44.03 | duey | yeah |
08:44.27 | muthu | pretty impressed with the android strategy |
08:44.56 | Lede | google is looking for more markets to serve other then search/ads |
08:45.02 | Lede | i don't think they will succeed |
08:45.26 | duey | or they are looking for more markets to push advertising |
08:45.27 | muthu | never know |
08:45.36 | Lede | just like how microsoft fails with their live-search |
08:45.59 | muthu | how goog does mobile ads will be interesting |
08:46.14 | duey | who clicks the ads on google btw |
08:46.15 | duey | i never do |
08:46.16 | muthu | can it monopolize like internet? |
08:46.19 | duey | do you guys? |
08:46.35 | muthu | duey: there's a crowd which is clicking |
08:46.46 | muthu | when you have a need, you'll clikc |
08:46.47 | duey | yeah but none of my friends do |
08:46.54 | duey | and i dont know anyone who does |
08:47.03 | varjag | i clicked once or twice i think |
08:47.35 | Lede | sometimes |
08:48.17 | varjag | normally i don't click ads because it filters down to buying something in the end |
08:48.21 | Lede | but doesnt google also serve non-text based ads? |
08:48.30 | varjag | but when im looking to buy something, it's fine |

09:18.53 | duey | how so? |
09:19.02 | duey | it would be depressing as |
09:19.11 | Lede | why would they be angry about it? |
09:19.22 | Lede | they would have probably lost their jobs with a merge |
09:19.37 | duey | oh right |
09:19.42 | duey | yeah they are probably happy about that |
09:19.47 | duey | but still its not over |

09:20.00 | muthu | the merge takes care of it |
09:20.02 | muthu | that's the deal |
09:20.24 | muthu | you simply can't be fired because of the merge |
09:20.45 | duey | well they can get rid of your position |
09:20.59 | duey | search term out the door, ads team gone |
09:21.04 | duey | mail too |

15:02.42 | lummie | muthu: are you being serious about the delay ? |
15:03.05 | lummie | I can't find anything on the blog about it.. |
15:03.31 | ligi | lummie: in the forums |
15:03.40 | lummie | ta |
15:03.49 | ligi | lummie: and in the FAQ - "around may 5" |
15:04.01 | ligi | 7. is some new info |
15:04.09 | ligi | but I think it will be friday |
15:04.13 | ligi | ^^ |
15:04.29 | lummie | I'll be in hospital by then..... |
15:04.52 | muthu | shit, already had one bad news today |
15:05.26 | dmoffett | Guess someone pulled your plonker to hard? |
15:06.42 | muthu | haha |
15:06.53 | muthu | yeah, really |
15:07.05 | muthu | hope google don't do it |
15:07.42 | romainguy__ | The results are not delayed, the ADC website talks about "week of May 5" |
15:07.48 | romainguy__ | it never said "on May 5" explicitely |
15:08.10 | romainguy__ | (that said I have *no idea* when the results will be announced, that doesn't mean it won't be today) |
15:08.37 | muthu | romainguy_: what? |
15:08.41 | muthu | today, no way |
15:09.01 | lummie | lol, just caught up... |
15:09.16 | romainguy__ | muthu: http://code.google.com/android/adc_faq.html << read "what are the deadlines" section |
15:09.48 | muthu | romainguy_: i know, it says week of May 5 |
15:10.01 | Dougie187 | that means it "could" be today |
15:10.05 | Dougie187 | or any day this week |
15:10.13 | muthu | but its been explained clearly, its not going to be before wednesday |
15:10.21 | Dougie187 | by whom? |
15:10.21 | muthu | in the forums, by dan |
15:10.33 | Dougie187 | well then you can wait until wednesday |
15:10.45 | muthu | right |
15:10.51 | muthu | no more bad news for me today |
15:11.07 | michaelnovakjr_2 | muthu: it that is what you want i would come back here wednesday :) |
15:11.11 | Dougie187 | it might be good news |
15:11.13 | lummie | muthu: it's raining here.... |

15:11.31 | lummie | but good news it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow. |
15:11.41 | muthu | good news is we won |
15:11.41 | Dougie187 | and if you expect to lose, then knowing you lost wont be bad news. |
15:11.48 | muthu | bad news is we were so close to winning! |
15:12.01 | Dougie187 | lol the only way you would know that is if scores were sent out. |
15:12.12 | Dougie187 | and if you knew the lowest score in the top 50 |
15:12.13 | lummie | and of course don't forget, no news is good news |
15:12.22 | muthu | 40 is the max |
15:12.30 | Dougie187 | well. |
15:12.35 | Dougie187 | maybe 50 people got 40 |
15:12.45 | muthu | doubt it |
15:12.46 | lummie | hope not.... |
15:12.53 | Dougie187 | but i would think if it was all based on the x/40 they wouldnt have two phases. |
15:12.55 | muthu | above 30, you got a chance |
15:13.06 | *** join/#android matt_c (n=mcroydon@gozur.sunflowerbroadband.com) |

16:45.20 | dmoffett | Just think about it that you would want the best judging possible and that takes time. If Google just rubber stamped the process then it would be over soon and probably not with the best apps. |
16:45.24 | Dougie187 | it went by pretty quick for me |
16:45.27 | muthu | got a winning notification.. but its from nigeria! |

16:46.54 | Dougie187 | to confirm you won |

16:47.08 | davidw | "Hi, my name is Larry Page, and I have a check for 10 bazillion dollars for you, Mr. DAVID WELTON..." |
16:47.12 | Dougie187 | i bet they would direct deposit or something |
16:47.15 | jasta | they must get your bank account information and direct deposito |
16:47.17 | jasta | deposit* |
16:47.27 | davidw | they get in their Google-jet and fly it to you |

16:52.50 | davidw | I'm a bit more inspired, for some reason, by guys who made something... more attainable |
16:53.06 | davidw | Google was a winning lottery ticket, like Microsoft or Oracle, IMO |
16:53.38 | Dougie187 | Oracle? |
16:53.42 | Dougie187 | i hear that stuff blows. |
16:53.43 | davidw | well, maybe not |
16:53.57 | davidw | you get the point though... those huge companies are all outliers |
16:53.57 | michaelnovakjr_2 | Oracle does blow |
16:54.24 | Dougie187 | i wouldnt put them in the same boat. |
16:54.31 | Dougie187 | its disrespectful to google. |

17:09.21 | Lede | there was also one with the freebsd thing |
17:09.27 | Lede | daemon thing |
17:09.37 | Lede | -> http://www.google.com/bsd |
17:10.02 | Dougie187 | thats pretty neat |
17:11.03 | davidw | and a linux one.... |
17:15.12 | Lede | oh wow |
17:15.27 | Lede | davidw: http://www.google.com/davidw |
17:17.39 | Lede | (in case you wonder, no there shouldnt be anything there, i have a strange sense of humour) |
17:29.33 | jasta | this is going to be intense to submit for the second round. |
17:29.41 | jasta | there is less than 60 days from today. |
17:29.51 | michaelnovakjr_2 | thats nice :) |
17:30.17 | jasta | and the due date is the day after my birthday :) |
17:30.22 | michaelnovakjr_2 | good thing you have 25K, in case you lose your job because of it |
17:30.23 | ligi | jasta: 60 Days to deadline of ADC II ? |
17:30.35 | michaelnovakjr_2 | ligi: second round .... ? |
17:30.38 | jasta | ligi: of round 2 of ADC I. |
17:30.45 | ligi | ah k |
17:31.03 | jasta | i have been developing my app under the assumption that i did win the qualifying round, because you don't have any time to lose! |
17:31.28 | michaelnovakjr_2 | yep |
17:31.31 | jasta | we got 4 1/2 months for ADC I, and most of us produced barely more than a workable demo. |
17:31.45 | jasta | less than 2 months now to produce a launchable application! |
17:31.51 | Lede | well, not everyone has the time |
17:32.04 | Lede | most (including myself) had only time in the weekend |
17:32.09 | Lede | so it was even less then that |
17:32.12 | michaelnovakjr_2 | Lede: thats unfortunate... |
17:32.26 | michaelnovakjr_2 | its going to be tough to compete in round two with the full timers |
17:32.34 | michaelnovakjr_2 | or those who spend more time on it |
17:32.51 | Lede | yes, well good for them |
17:32.56 | Lede | for not having a life |
17:32.57 | Lede | lol |
17:33.06 | jasta | if i win the qualifying round, i fully intend to take a 2 weeks unpaid vacation from work :) |
17:33.17 | michaelnovakjr_2 | :) |
17:33.42 | jasta | i already plan to quit once the ADC is over :) |
17:34.06 | michaelnovakjr_2 | where do you plan to go? |
17:34.38 | Lede | work for google! |
17:35.01 | jasta | not sure, but the ADC isn't what made up my mind. i have wanted to quit for a while now. |
17:35.13 | jasta | my job satisfaction is in the toilet in 2008 :) |
17:35.54 | jasta | i would like to enter the mobile industry, but i haven't made up my mind where yet. |
17:36.30 | jasta | the manufacturer side (both software and hardware) of the business seems the most interesting to me. |
17:37.51 | davidw | do a startup |
17:38.09 | jasta | never |
17:38.27 | Lede | why not? |
17:39.01 | jasta | i do not have the competencies necessary to start my own company successfully. i'm extremely disorganized, forgetful, and i prefer to reduce my interaction with business type folks moving forward :) |
17:39.24 | Lede | hm |
17:39.48 | davidw | I hate having other people run my life |
17:40.00 | davidw | my wife is more than sufficient for that;-))) |
17:40.16 | jasta | nobody runs your life just because they sign your paycheck. if that's true, then you have given entirely too much power to your employer. |
17:40.43 | jasta | employment should be an agreement between you and your employer. you give only what you're willing to give. |
17:40.59 | Lede | yeah in theory |
17:41.18 | davidw | well, speaking of... it has been comunicated to me that it's dinner time |

23:11.40 | tomgibara | romainguy: not intended for public consumption? :) |
23:11.46 | romainguy_ | not at all :) |
23:12.27 | Dougie187 | can anyone submit to phase two? |
23:12.31 | Dougie187 | or just the top 50? |
23:12.34 | jasta | i did actually think it strange that he said "you must start using this feature now" |
23:12.39 | tomgibara | At least it gives us something to look forward to in the next release |
23:12.40 | jasta | Dougie187: just the top 50. |
23:12.56 | Dougie187 | thats what i thought |
23:12.58 | jasta | Dougie187: ADC II, however, will be open to all |
23:13.02 | jasta | except possibly ADC I winners :) |
23:13.07 | Dougie187 | lol |
23:13.12 | Dougie187 | whens adc 2? |
23:13.23 | jasta | second half of '08, according to the docs which change at will :) |
23:13.31 | Dougie187 | ha |
23:13.57 | jasta | any date google projects more than 5 days out should be taken with a grain of salt ;) |
23:17.28 | Dougie187 | lol so you mean, other than the release of ADC 1 top 50 list? |
23:19.46 | jasta | whatever ;) |
23:20.36 | poffy | Haha, what was in that thread? |
23:22.18 | Dougie187 | maybe ill have to dump that one idea into adc 2 than |
23:22.51 | jasta | what one idea? |
23:23.22 | Dougie187 | the restricting usage based on plan details |
23:24.51 | jasta | you mean the idea i gave you about electric fencing the user? |
23:26.10 | Dougie187 | perhaps |
23:26.42 | jasta | perhaps you mean that? |
23:27.02 | Dougie187 | well i guess im not sure what you mean by electric fencing the user, but it was the idea we talked about a couple of weeks ago |
23:27.32 | Dougie187 | not your "secret weapon" but the other one |
23:27.52 | jasta | yeah, about warning the user when they are in excess of their plan limits |
23:28.04 | jasta | and optionally providing parental controls to set hard limits and such |
23:28.30 | jasta | like caging yourself in an electric fence. it will shock you if you touch the edges ;) |
