| 07:31.01 | straind` | It doesn't seem to work in VNC. |
| 07:32.02 | timelyx | you're vncing to your device? |
| 07:32.49 | straind` | from |
| 07:33.25 | timelyx | from i.e. you're running vnc client on your device? |
| 07:34.10 | straind` | Yeah. VNC viewer connecting to VNC server on my desktop. |
| 07:34.39 | timelyx | so, getting those keyboards to work requires the application be able to explain widgets well enough to a gtk im |
| 07:35.02 | straind` | I get the virtual for password entry, but once connected, it's finger. |
| 07:35.14 | straind` | im? |
| 07:35.24 | timelyx | the simplest test of this is trying to run vnc on your desktop to a second workstation and trying to use japanese input methods [im] on your client desktop |
| 07:35.43 | timelyx | if you can't make that work, then expecting this to work is unreasonable |

| 07:36.41 | straind` | I need sleep. That looks like english, but I don't understand it. :) |
| 07:40.33 | timelyx | some languages are so complicated you can't really have a keyboard w/ just ~100 keys to input the characters |
| 07:40.50 | timelyx | so they generally require software and some sort of window for dealing w/ input |
| 07:41.10 | timelyx | this begat Input Method Editors [IMEs] |
| 07:41.31 | straind` | It's weird. I can get the finger up with the select button, and close it with the same. When I try to get the keyboard up by tapping the icon of the paper and pencil, nothing happens until I tap it again and get the fingerboard again. |
| 07:42.27 | timelyx | some devices are so frustratingly small, that they too needed some sort of window for dealing w/ input, this resulted in using the same system of IMEs on small devices |
| 07:43.11 | timelyx | but typically in order to support an IME you need to either use widgets predesigned for the IME (e.g. Gtk widgets will sorta automatically work w/ gtk-im-modules) |
| 07:43.19 | timelyx | or you need to write your own glue to connect to them |
| 07:43.33 | timelyx | opera, mozilla, and vnc would fall into that latter catgeory |
| 07:43.39 | timelyx | s/geo/ego/ |
| 07:43.59 | timelyx | since they all draw their own "widgets" to the extent that they even understand what a widget is |
| 07:44.28 | timelyx | in the case of vnc, it would basically have to pretend to be an IM in order to ask the apps it's rendering enough questions to make a local IM happy |
| 07:46.14 | straind` | Ok. So it's VNC on the 770s fault for not requesting the right thing, but it could be fixed by someone who understands it more than I do right now. :) |
| 07:46.29 | timelyx | that's my presumption, yes |
| 07:46.38 | timelyx | and the way to test it is to use japanese w/ desktop boxes |
| 07:46.52 | timelyx | if japanese "works correctly", then the problem could be maemo's fault instead |
| 07:46.57 | timelyx | could. IMEs are pains |
| 07:47.16 | timelyx | i think they make general unicode handling seem like a piece of cake |
| 07:47.22 | straind` | Ok. I'm hoping I won't have to deal with that too soon. :) |
| 07:47.58 | straind` | While I've got you, how hard is it to modify a virtual keyboard? |
| 07:48.44 | timelyx | please be more specific |
| 07:49.00 | straind` | I use the US & UK keyboards. |
| 07:49.02 | timelyx | there are keyboard layouts, i think that someone reverse engineered enough to get hebrew working |
| 07:49.19 | timelyx | there's actually a public doc explaining how to write your own layout |
| 07:49.32 | timelyx | and there's a package w/ the program to "compile" layouts |
| 07:49.43 | straind` | Ok. I'll look for it when my eyes aren't closed. :) |

| 09:14.01 | timelyx | same problem |
| 09:14.13 | timelyx | getting sources involves figuring out who has sources and how to retrieve them |
| 09:14.26 | timelyx | to /some/ extent, my computer at work solves that problem |
| 09:14.33 | timelyx | but only when i found out, which can be months late |
| 09:14.44 | theril | Wasn't atleast for me, I just put the integration repository to sources.list and pulled all the fresh stuff |

| 09:20.49 | lle2 | timelyx: mind what? |
| 09:21.13 | timelyx | if i fixed the spelling of "built" by forcibly adding myself to svn access and committing the fix |
| 09:21.26 | theril | lle2: BTW, is it possible in Sb2 to have the .sbconfig file somewhere else than in the "root" directory? |
| 09:21.33 | lle2 | that's counter-revolutionary thinking |
| 09:21.52 | theril | I'm thinking of using a mount of N800 root as Sb2 root fs |
| 09:21.58 | lle2 | theril: sure it would be possible, what would be a good place? |
| 09:22.21 | timelyx | what's a "root" directory in this case? |
| 09:22.28 | timelyx | the root of the scratchbox? |
| 09:22.32 | lle2 | the root of the buildroot |
| 09:22.43 | lle2 | as in $HOME/buildroot/.sb2config |
| 09:22.58 | theril | lle2: Well perhaps home directory or someplace writable by 'user' (instead of root) |
| 09:23.15 | timelyx | does sb2config let me have more than one scratchbox? |
| 09:23.23 | lle2 | timelyx: yes |
| 09:23.31 | theril | I really don't want to have sb2 running with root access on my device ;) |
| 09:23.38 | lle2 | timelyx: as many as you like |
| 09:23.49 | timelyx | theril: what am i missing? |
| 09:23.52 | timelyx | where does root come in? |
| 09:24.21 | theril | timelyx: It would use a remotedly mounted FS of the N800 |
| 09:25.00 | theril | And if I want to write the config to root of the N800, it would have to be mounted as root |
| 09:25.01 | timelyx | oh |
| 09:25.12 | timelyx | so you're using sb2 for sbrsh transparency |
| 09:25.15 | theril | And then sb2 magic would probably fuck up the system totally :P |
| 09:25.17 | timelyx | or trying to |
| 09:25.21 | theril | timelyx: Not exactly |
| 09:25.33 | lle2 | theril: that's interesting way of setting it up |
| 09:25.45 | lle2 | might be useful |
| 09:25.48 | theril | In fact I'm thinking of using raemo to mount and run stuff with sb2 |
| 09:25.59 | timelyx | Raemo? |
| 09:26.12 | `0660 | Raimo |
| 09:26.13 | theril | timelyx: http://raemo.garage.maemo.org/ |
| 09:26.24 | lle2 | theril: but raemo doesn't do that, as far as I know |
| 09:26.41 | theril | lle2: Do what? |
| 09:26.52 | theril | BTW, I'm the one that wrote raemo ;) |
| 09:26.57 | lle2 | theril: mount entire root filesystems anywhere |
| 09:27.02 | lle2 | theril: right :D |
| 09:27.08 | theril | lle2: Sure it can |
| 09:27.29 | lle2 | theril: are you planning to sshfs the entire root from the device to the pc? that would work |
| 09:27.34 | timelyx | theril: raemo didn't exist as a public svn creature when i pushed garage to timeless.justdave.net and practically speaking, i don't look at garage directly if i can avoid it :) |

| 09:28.13 | theril | lle2: Exactly |
| 09:28.24 | lle2 | theril: .sb2config is only used by the sb2 script to read in and set some environment variables |
| 09:28.37 | theril | And I was about to run sb2 on it, but I didn't really want to mess around as root |
| 09:29.01 | theril | lle2: So I can use ~/.sb2config to override it? |
| 09:29.19 | *** join/#maemo colinl (n=colin@paperstreet.colino.net) |
| 09:29.23 | lle2 | theril: basically yes, you just need to modify sb2 script a bit |
| 09:29.29 | theril | OK |
| 09:29.48 | lle2 | theril: it currently looks for .sb2rc file to find the buildroot from which to dig up .sb2config |
| 09:30.19 | theril | And it goes upwards the directory structure until it finds one? |
| 09:30.33 | lle2 | theril: you might change it so that if the buildroot doesn't have a .sb2config it just uses whatever was in .sb2rc |
| 09:30.37 | lle2 | theril: yes |
| 09:30.41 | theril | And the cache stuff could be configured in the same way |

| 09:31.22 | theril | Hmm.. perhaps even more elegant would be to put the .sb2config one directory below the root and in that .sb2config there would be path to the root |
| 09:31.42 | theril | So the magic still works but it doesn't clutter the rootfs |
| 09:31.46 | lle2 | theril: that wouldn't gain you anything |
| 09:31.51 | timelyx | config files should not be visible in the environment system |
| 09:31.53 | lle2 | theril: I want to have multiple roots |
| 09:32.09 | timelyx | ideally an app running in a scratchbox should not be able to figure out it's in scratchbox :) |
| 09:32.52 | lle2 | theril: just do it so that the .sb2config parameters can be defined in .sb2rc as well |
| 09:33.11 | theril | lle2: Yes, but you'd have like sb2/root1 sb2/root2 and sb2/.sb2config.root1 (or something like that) and when sb2 is run from inside sb2/root1 it would find the .sb2config.root1 from sb2/ |
| 09:33.32 | lle2 | theril: I don't run sb2 from inside the buildroot |
| 09:33.32 | theril | And also it would have sb2/.sb2config.root2 etc |

| 10:31.12 | timelyx | because some annoying free thinker thinks that maemo sucks |

| 10:32.36 | lle2 | although even that's backwards |
| 10:32.36 | theril | timelyx: So that every time window opens, it opens to same place or something like that? |
| 10:32.53 | timelyx | theril: typically it has the same toolbar state |

| 10:39.00 | lle2 | uhhuh |
| 10:39.03 | theril | So every program would have to be hacked to explicitly set the name using XProperty or something like that |
| 10:39.23 | lle2 | I'm so glad I don't have to use gtk to do my work |
| 10:39.33 | timelyx | i'd love to get rid of gtk |
| 10:39.39 | theril | Is not that bad IMHO :) |
| 10:39.41 | timelyx | it's such a stupid system upon which to build a platform |
| 10:39.48 | timelyx | theril: no, it's much worse |
| 10:40.09 | lle2 | maybe we shouldn't get rid of it, just build up something more sane on the side |
| 10:40.18 | timelyx | lle2: gecko |
| 10:40.18 | lle2 | that integrates well with it |
| 10:40.19 | theril | The abstraction level is a bit wrong though, but it makes a fine low level widget set |
| 10:40.25 | timelyx | xul based applications |
| 10:40.37 | theril | gecko is a pile of hack |
| 10:40.39 | timelyx | they scale, they flex, they persist |
| 10:41.07 | timelyx | three things the maemo platform doesn't do |
| 10:41.29 | lle2 | maemo scales, in man months |
| 10:41.31 | timelyx | oh, and generally, gecko doesn't kill itself when it runs out of memory |
| 10:41.46 | theril | They could be easily incorporated in the API |
| 10:41.49 | timelyx | lle2: that's something like 200 man months |
| 10:42.01 | theril | Just force programmer to set window name when creating a HildonWindow |
| 10:42.37 | *** join/#maemo MoRpHeUz (n=morphbr@82-128-196-144-Torikatu-TR1.suomi.net) |
| 10:42.43 | theril | And properly coded GTK apps do scale |
| 10:42.44 | lle2 | yeah, more maemo specific crap will solve the problem |
| 10:42.53 | timelyx | ++lle2 |
| 10:43.07 | timelyx | using Gazpacho (?) might solve the problem |
| 10:43.27 | timelyx | since it's basically getting rid of C initializers and using an xml dialect (xul done w/ gtk instead) |
| 10:43.58 | theril | I'm not too big a fan of that kind of stuff |
| 10:44.17 | theril | You'll soon end up with having a gecko (which IMO isn't very good thing) |
| 10:44.34 | theril | But a API like that over GTK would be good |
| 10:44.37 | timelyx | theril: gazpacho is basically yet another gecko |
| 10:44.41 | timelyx | which is silly |
| 10:45.02 | timelyx | we'd have a notes app that wouldn't suck |
| 10:45.08 | timelyx | we'd have a chance at a mail app that didn't suck |
| 10:45.11 | theril | AFAIK gazpacho is yet another glade |
| 10:45.22 | timelyx | we could make the ui designers actually write the UI instead of specifying it |
| 10:45.42 | timelyx | yeah, i originally wrote glade but replaced it w/ gazpacho |
| 10:45.52 | theril | And we'd have apps that take minutes to load |
| 10:45.56 | timelyx | i can't remember or understand the difference |
| 10:46.09 | timelyx | theril: we have skype :) |
| 10:46.14 | theril | And 30Mb of javascript and XML loaded in the memory at all times |
| 10:46.33 | timelyx | but actually, it becomes less of a problem if it's already loaded |
| 10:47.18 | theril | Yeah, but the 30MB could be used to something more sane |
| 10:47.34 | lle2 | like the current email client? :) |
| 10:47.35 | timelyx | theoretically sure |
| 10:47.41 | timelyx | but do you really trust nokia to manage that? |
| 10:47.52 | *** join/#maemo _pcfe_ (n=pcfe@a83-245-162-212.elisa-laajakaista.fi) |
| 10:47.56 | timelyx | actually, at this point, i think you're likely to get the current email client :) |
| 10:48.43 | theril | Well maybe they'd make good use of a few of those 30 MBs :) |
| 10:48.51 | timelyx | pigs might fly |
| 10:49.06 | timelyx | would you like a meta crawler with that? |
| 10:49.10 | theril | timelyx: Have you done any gecko programming? |
| 10:49.17 | timelyx | theril: only around 7 years |
| 10:49.28 | timelyx | that's what i do for a living |
| 10:49.32 | timelyx | that's why i'm working for nokia |
| 10:49.35 | theril | And you like the mess that's its architecture? |
| 10:49.48 | timelyx | in comparison to nokia/osso/maemo? absolutely |
| 10:50.16 | timelyx | i'm glad you asked ;-) |
| 10:50.27 | theril | I think the comparsion is more against GTK+ etc |
| 10:50.47 | timelyx | glib/gdk/gtk/gnome/hildon/dbus |
| 10:50.57 | timelyx | how many cards did i miss in my house of cards? |
| 10:51.26 | timelyx | but even ignoring all those layers |
| 10:51.29 | theril | IMHO putting that monster on a portable device is plain insane |
| 10:51.56 | timelyx | the uis designed by/for mozilla.org are better than the junk shipped by nokia |
| 10:51.57 | theril | So you compare the whole gecko to the separate libraries |
| 10:52.13 | timelyx | i'll compare it however |
| 10:52.22 | timelyx | i can compare nss(works) with libcst (POS) |
| 10:52.43 | timelyx | i can compare PSM(works) w/ certman (has to hack around libcst) and still won't always work |
| 10:52.48 | theril | How about something like glib vs nsoldcludge, dbus vs the interface spec hacks etc |
| 10:53.23 | theril | And I don't think gecko even has functionality that could be compared with dbus |
| 10:53.27 | timelyx | theril: nspr v. glib? i don't mind, nspr works, is stable, and can be fairly safely used whereever |
| 10:53.41 | theril | Same for glib |
| 10:54.02 | timelyx | glib and nspr are fairly comprable |
| 10:54.14 | theril | yes |
| 10:54.25 | timelyx | dbus is basically a library guaranteed to enable your app to crash when the system runs out of memory |
| 10:54.32 | timelyx | i'm happy not to be forced to have such a library |
| 10:54.33 | theril | And doesn't gecko use GDK? |
| 10:54.42 | timelyx | it doesn't have to use gdk |
| 10:54.50 | timelyx | at some point i'm hoping for cairo-xlib |
| 10:54.58 | theril | But it uses |
| 10:55.05 | timelyx | and on windows and osx and qnx and beos it certainly does not use gdk |
| 10:55.20 | timelyx | it only uses it on a handful of backwards platforms :) |
| 10:55.25 | theril | I think that apps should be free to crash when run out of memory |
| 10:55.32 | timelyx | sure |
| 10:55.37 | timelyx | but they shouldn't be killed by libraries |
| 10:55.39 | timelyx | there's a difference |
| 10:55.57 | theril | Working around memory ending situations is IMO too complex for application level anyway |
| 10:55.58 | timelyx | if my app wants to crash or not crash when it runs out of memory, that should be its cohice |
| 10:56.14 | timelyx | it shouldn't be in a position where a fundamental system library will crash/kill the app |
| 10:56.27 | timelyx | you think the system does better? |
| 10:56.28 | timelyx | you're nuts. |
| 10:56.46 | theril | I don't usually even bother to check mallocs |
| 10:57.01 | timelyx | the os is the thing that gets apps into the problem in the first place, and the only thing it can do to deal with it is go around shooting things |
| 10:57.24 | timelyx | the os is *not* in a good, or even particularly useful place to make anything close to sane decisions |
| 10:57.51 | timelyx | in 2006, the os decided that the only thing it could do when it ran out of memory was shoot alarmd |
| 10:58.00 | theril | I have yet to see program that manages handling out of memory really better than just shutting down |
| 10:58.06 | timelyx | after it shot alarmd, it remembered it was supposed to run alarmd whenever alarmd died |
| 10:58.11 | timelyx | so, it went off and started it again |
| 10:58.14 | timelyx | and then it shot it again |
| 10:58.18 | timelyx | this repeats |
| 10:58.55 | timelyx | they eventually did fix that one ... |
| 10:59.13 | timelyx | but integrating sanity into the os is clearly rocket science |
| 10:59.14 | lle2 | I think the memory use of apps should be compartmentalized, and localise the killing to the box that is actually overflowing instead of going out and killing some random process |
| 10:59.36 | theril | The D-Bus implementation admittedly isn't very great |
| 10:59.45 | timelyx | lle2: what do you do when the user is annoying and tries to build make -j 100 on a box? |
| 10:59.55 | timelyx | no one specific process uses a lot of memory |
| 11:00.05 | timelyx | now sure, you could claim a job pool is |
| 11:00.11 | timelyx | i'd claim it's the X server :) |
| 11:00.22 | theril | I vote for gecko |
| 11:00.23 | timelyx | or init :) |
| 11:00.28 | theril | :P |
| 11:00.39 | lle2 | timelyx: those processes would sit in the "misc" box which gets only a limited chunk to be split among them |
| 11:00.46 | timelyx | lle2: but the main problem w/ shooting the biggest consumer |
| 11:00.56 | timelyx | is that on average you shoot the app the user was actually *using* |
| 11:00.57 | lle2 | timelyx: and X resource allocations should be taken into account |
| 11:01.02 | timelyx | namely, the web browser or media player |
| 11:01.21 | lle2 | timelyx: I'm not shooting the biggest user, as long as it stays within its boundaries, it will live |
| 11:01.50 | timelyx | lle2: best way to set the boundaries is by actually returning NULL for alloc failures |
| 11:01.52 | timelyx | and letting the app deal |
| 11:02.00 | timelyx | everything else is just bad hacks |
| 11:02.02 | timelyx | that don't work |
| 11:02.10 | lle2 | timelyx: yes, that would be returned when the boundary is exceeded |
| 11:02.14 | theril | Programs should tell the OS how much memory they need and after the process tries to allocate more, it's shut down |
| 11:02.26 | timelyx | theril: how much does a web browser need? |
| 11:02.32 | timelyx | answer: as much as the user demands the browser need |
| 11:02.36 | theril | timelyx: A lot less than it uses now |
| 11:02.38 | lle2 | theril: it needs to be more dynamic than that |
| 11:02.56 | theril | lle2: Of course, but something in those lines |
| 11:02.59 | timelyx | theril: user decides to open 100 very heavy web pages |
| 11:03.09 | timelyx | user expects them all to be alive and fully functional |
| 11:03.14 | lle2 | timelyx: the user is then told that's not possible |
| 11:03.15 | timelyx | (user is crazy, but whatever) |
| 11:03.21 | timelyx | lle2: i'd love to |
| 11:03.30 | timelyx | lle2: theril wants the app to die instead |
| 11:03.41 | lle2 | timelyx: yup, murderous bastard |
| 11:03.50 | timelyx | yup |
| 11:03.58 | timelyx | or at least bloodthirsy |
| 11:04.02 | timelyx | s/y/yt |
| 11:04.06 | timelyx | arg |
| 11:04.08 | timelyx | or at least bloodthirsty |
| 11:04.19 | theril | I'd rather let my application die than to try to write a desperate attempt in rescuing it |
| 11:04.28 | timelyx | theril: fwiw, i'd rather not let users exceed 4 windows |
| 11:04.37 | timelyx | but i atm have no budget for making such a ue |
| 11:04.41 | timelyx | s/e$/i/ |
| 11:04.53 | sp3000 | set a tax on windows :P |
| 11:04.57 | lle2 | theril: the browser must be able to deal with that, it's just bad form to crash if you go to a massive slashdot comment page or something |
| 11:05.18 | theril | Let them have all the windows they want, but write the DOM to HD and let it rerender it when needed |
| 11:05.45 | theril | lle2: Yes, but I'm talking from developers' point of view |
| 11:05.45 | lle2 | theril: there's no space for that on the flash, besides that would suck anyway |
| 11:06.13 | theril | So the better solution is just to spam the memory until it ends? |
| 11:06.13 | timelyx | theril: for kicks, consider: http://timeless.justdave.net/stress/1024-768.html |
| 11:06.22 | timelyx | theril: it's a start |
| 11:06.34 | timelyx | ideally gecko will recognize that it can drop an image that's not currently visible |
| 11:06.41 | timelyx | and replace it w/ one that it needs to show *now* |
| 11:06.47 | timelyx | theril: anyway, try loading that page |
| 11:06.57 | timelyx | butt be warned, i killed a Samsung Q1 w/ that last year |
| 11:06.59 | theril | timelyx: I loaded it in lynx :P |
| 11:07.08 | timelyx | and i've killed various unix boxes in the past |
| 11:07.23 | timelyx | the Q1 bluescreened, unix boxes panic |
| 11:07.32 | timelyx | or the xserver gets killed, which is equally amusing |
| 11:08.02 | timelyx | theril: anyway, how do you "render" that page? |
| 11:08.19 | timelyx | specifically, user loads the page and jumps to the bottom |
| 11:08.28 | timelyx | how do you know where the "bottom" is? |
| 11:08.38 | timelyx | hrm, wrong url |
| 11:08.48 | theril | True, I got the point |
| 11:08.54 | timelyx | sorry, http://timeless.justdave.net/stress/stress.html |
| 11:08.58 | timelyx | that's the right url |
| 11:09.10 | theril | But then we'll get to the subject of how much HTML sucks |
| 11:09.21 | timelyx | i have to live with it |
| 11:09.23 | lle2 | browser is special of the apps that we have on the device |
| 11:09.27 | timelyx | i'd rather you not kill me over it |
| 11:09.37 | timelyx | lle2: mail and media player are not too far from it |
| 11:09.40 | lle2 | maybe email is a second one |
| 11:09.42 | timelyx | rss reader too |
| 11:09.47 | lle2 | kill that |
| 11:09.48 | timelyx | depending on how stupid you make them |
| 11:09.49 | theril | Well, I'm sort of pro-euthanasia |
| 11:09.51 | timelyx | lle2: gladly :) |
| 11:10.16 | timelyx | anyway, yeah, the browser is special |
| 11:10.22 | timelyx | most of the other apps have little excuse |
| 11:10.47 | timelyx | consider images which seems to get sick of the themes graphics directories :) |
| 11:11.00 | timelyx | it sorta goes off and hangs itself |
| 11:11.24 | timelyx | note: it is possible for browser to actually deal w/ that page properly |
| 11:11.40 | timelyx | and in fact, it doesn't do /such/ a bad job today in gecko, although it can do a better one |
| 11:11.57 | timelyx | actually, all things considered, that page is tame, albeit slightly overweight |
| 11:11.57 | theril | timelyx: Couldn't that be handled by just downloading size of the images and rendering empty boxes in place of them? |
| 11:12.03 | timelyx | theril: no |
| 11:12.10 | timelyx | you need to know if the image is valid |
| 11:12.15 | timelyx | which requires decoding it start to finish |
| 11:12.21 | timelyx | because if it's corrupt you're required to replace it |
| 11:12.34 | theril | By some spec? |
| 11:12.38 | timelyx | oh, and what happens if the image is dynamically changing between corrupt and not corrupt |
| 11:12.41 | timelyx | theril: html spec, yes |
| 11:13.02 | theril | Well, I'd say fuck you to that |
| 11:13.04 | timelyx | now, you could go off and download each one in turn, and determine its size and then discard it |
| 11:13.11 | timelyx | and then pray that the image doesn't change |
| 11:13.18 | timelyx | which i'm fine w/ doing |
| 11:13.36 | timelyx | but if you're on GPRS and paying by the byte, you /might/ not appreciate that :) |
| 11:13.55 | timelyx | actually, at 100+mb for the entire directory, you will never appreciate that page if you pay by the byte :) |
| 11:14.27 | theril | If I were to write a browser (that nobody would use :P), it would throw a parse error on corrupt data just like any other sane parser does |
| 11:14.50 | timelyx | no one would use it, it'd render maybe 5 pages |
| 11:14.57 | theril | It would also ease lots of the pain in creating the pages |
| 11:15.04 | timelyx | and i'm not sure which sort of corrupt data you're talking about |
| 11:15.04 | theril | Yes, but that's how it should work |
| 11:15.11 | theril | timelyx: Any |
| 11:15.12 | timelyx | corrupt images throw dom events |
| 11:15.18 | timelyx | which web pages can react to :) |
| 11:15.24 | timelyx | by e.g. changing the image location ... |
| 11:15.46 | timelyx | see... users are annoying, they expect web pages and web browsers to self correct |
| 11:15.50 | theril | Why the hell should corrupt images be supopported? |
| 11:15.52 | timelyx | offering them something instead of an error |
| 11:16.04 | timelyx | what do you mean "supported"? |
| 11:16.15 | timelyx | if an image is corrupt, you get a dom event and the image is replaced |
| 11:16.19 | theril | That browser should do anything else than stop rendering when one is encountered |
| 11:16.32 | timelyx | ?? |
| 11:16.39 | timelyx | the browser does lots of other things |
| 11:16.57 | timelyx | but the web app might want to pick an alternate image if the one it got from some server is broken |
| 11:17.07 | timelyx | the browser isn't a program, it's a platform |

| 11:17.26 | timelyx | the web app is the program, and it's the browser's job to offer the web app full flexibility |
| 11:17.35 | timelyx | theril: you're confused |

| 11:18.55 | _Monkey | OK, timelyx. |
| 11:19.02 | lle2 | theril: compilers are used by programmers, browsers are supposed to eat random crap from real people |
| 11:20.09 | timelyx | users have higher expectations than programmers |
| 11:20.16 | timelyx | oh, and they have money |
| 11:20.22 | lle2 | that helps too |
| 11:20.23 | timelyx | and they vote with their wallets |
| 11:20.51 | timelyx | programmers either know not to use gcc or don't have a choice |
| 11:20.59 | timelyx | :) |
| 11:23.50 | theril | So everybody has to suffer so that any moron can spit crap from Frontpage that should be rendered fine? |
| 11:24.09 | timelyx | define suffer |
| 11:24.12 | timelyx | but sure |
| 11:24.16 | theril | I don't think that people who don't know HTML write HTML anymore |
| 11:24.28 | timelyx | you clearly don't browse the web |
| 11:24.34 | theril | I think the official definition of suffering is to get any non-trivial website working with all browsers |
| 11:24.38 | timelyx | or you don't use anything interesting to check for web quality |
| 11:25.07 | timelyx | because it's more important that i can get access to poorly written and unmaintained content than that you have some pristine value |
| 11:25.11 | theril | And people would learn to write HTML if the parser/browser would just spit a parse error |
| 11:25.27 | timelyx | chicken, meet egg |
| 11:25.44 | timelyx | and no, they won't |
| 11:25.49 | timelyx | validator.w3.org exists |
| 11:25.54 | timelyx | extensions exist to integrate it |
| 11:26.08 | timelyx | most decent web design toolsets include some sort of validator |
| 11:26.16 | theril | Yeah, lets drag some 1985 weight just to not to have to deal with chicken-egg |
| 11:26.41 | theril | Yes, but because the browser renders badly formatted stuff, the validator is essentially useless |
| 11:27.01 | timelyx | http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmaemo.org&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 |
| 11:27.22 | theril | And also as long as same HTML is rendered differently by browsers (especially with the current extent) |
| 11:27.26 | timelyx | http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmaemo.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=XHTML+1.0+Transitional&group=0 |
| 11:28.02 | theril | timelyx: That is useless |
| 11:28.32 | timelyx | theril: what about it? |
| 11:28.34 | theril | As long as browsers accept to render that, that has no importance at all |
| 11:28.38 | theril | timelyx: Validating the code |
| 11:28.42 | timelyx | it's basic web 101, include ALT tags for all images |
| 11:28.50 | timelyx | maemo.org can't even get that right on their main apge |
| 11:28.54 | timelyx | s/apg/pag |
| 11:29.08 | theril | And that basic web 101 is idiocy |
| 11:29.22 | timelyx | you were the fool using lynx |
| 11:29.26 | timelyx | or was it links? |
| 11:29.42 | theril | I use both from time to time |
| 11:30.13 | theril | But for me it doesn't matter if it says [IMG] or "Image of cat" |
| 11:30.14 | timelyx | don't go complaining about me complaining about lack of alt tags when you use multiple browsers who benefit from it |
| 11:30.30 | timelyx | that's because you don't care about content |
| 11:30.43 | timelyx | which makes you a user i don't need to support |
| 11:30.47 | timelyx | users care about content |

| 11:33.53 | theril | Well, forcing the alt would be ok, if CSS wouldn't be such crappy |
| 11:34.08 | theril | So that you'd have to use the img-tag only for "content" images |
| 11:34.29 | Jaffa | CSS is fine - it's idiotic web designers using images for text that cause problems in the CSS/no images combo |

| 15:15.44 | lle2 | I've /seriously/ punished some of those displays and I can't get them to scratch |
| 15:16.39 | Lynoure | lle2: this was used... I see some layer on the screen, but a part of it (about 2mm) seems to go under the bevel at the top... so I thought it was the touch sensor layer and decided not to try remove it with force |

| 15:17.18 | lle2 | hmm, in the lower left corner there should be a "flap" that you can get it off from |
| 15:17.29 | lle2 | maybe the original owner cut that off |
| 15:17.32 | Lynoure | no flap, whatsoever |
| 15:18.20 | Lynoure | I wish I could show this, but no way I can get that good macro shot |
| 15:19.19 | sp3000 | it's really easy to get smudges that look like scratches |
| 15:20.05 | Lynoure | But, when you guys look at the very edge of the screen, can you see a border about 1-2 mm from the edge? |
| 15:20.18 | pupnik | the display coverings are made out of a chemical with a long name that i forget |
| 15:20.27 | sp3000 | that said I do have a few scratches but the smudges usually win |
| 15:20.39 | Lynoure | I really do not want to put force in removing something that should stay there... |
| 15:21.15 | Lynoure | So I need to first be sure it's something removable :) |
| 15:21.24 | lle2 | sure I can see the edge of the whole lcd panel, but the covering shouldn't go underneath the case |
| 15:22.20 | Lynoure | lle2: this edge is inside the lit area... |
| 15:22.28 | Lynoure | ever so slightly |
| 15:23.55 | Lynoure | and I can feel my fingernail running along it, if I try that. The scratches are definately scratches, or at least microfiber cloth would not remove them |
| 15:24.12 | lle2 | hmm, maybe try it with something not too pointy but slim enough to fit there and try to lift it |
| 15:25.12 | lle2 | no way could I get a fingernail to the edge of the lcd, but that's mostly 'cause I ain't got any |
| 15:26.37 | lle2 | btw, do the testing at the bottom middle of the screen, least used area ;) |
| 15:27.30 | Lynoure | lle2: you could feel the same edge with an edge of a paper or business card, if it there |
| 15:27.42 | Lynoure | s/it/it is |
| 15:28.41 | lle2 | I only hit the metal edge of the lcd, under which the glass + ts films go |
| 15:29.46 | lle2 | if you're not sure about it, just leave it. easiest way to break the lcd is to press with a sharp object near the edge |
| 15:30.35 | Lynoure | I need to do something... now it gets a scratch every time I draw a line with a stylus, no matter how light touch I use |
| 15:31.16 | lle2 | for sure those are not real scratches, I've hit one with a stylus so hard the stylus broke in pieces and there was no trace of it |
| 15:31.16 | Lynoure | That's why I asked recommendations for screen protectors |
| 15:31.57 | Lynoure | lle2: how do you define real scratches? I just rubber them with microfiber for 20 seconds, and they still seem real enough |

| 15:35.34 | lle2 | I've had the n800 going around without any cover at all, for about 6months, and there are no scratches I could see when the backlight is on and it's showing something other than solid black |
| 15:38.05 | Lynoure | I guess it must be then that the protective film is still on and it gets scratches easily... I'm waiting a verification from the ex-owner before pulling it off with a tape |
| 15:39.54 | lle2 | I've seen screens that went through 30 000 - 60 000 chinese characters to the same place by a robot and I have to look *very* carefully to see any sign of that load |
| 15:40.40 | lle2 | sure it affects the electrical properties, but it's very difficult to see it visually |
| 15:40.52 | Lynoure | That's nice to hear |
| 15:40.53 | pupnik | cool |
| 15:41.51 | Lynoure | Then, once I get that thing off thing, I'll only need a case, and no protector |
| 15:42.10 | pupnik | well as long as the protector is on, only the protector is getting scratched |
| 15:43.39 | Lynoure | pupnik: yes, sounds so. I bet no pulling on the screen has been tested, though, so I hope this film is not too stickily on. |
| 15:47.47 | Lynoure | http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4975 sounds like my story (minus the fact I never saw the tab) |
| 15:51.10 | Lynoure | especially this bit sums up why I was wondering about whether it was the touchfilm: " I've looked closely at the factory 'screen protector' - there's a strange tiny tab at the top that disappears under the plastic rim (top mid-right) - never removed it as I feared the screen protector may actually be the touchscreen film itself!" |
| 15:52.32 | lle2 | we really should mark it with "remove before use" |
| 15:52.59 | lle2 | in big bold opaque letters diagonally across the whole screen |
| 15:54.03 | Lynoure | Got it out now with the tape trick |
| 15:54.29 | Lynoure | :) |
| 15:55.15 | lle2 | I bet that "protector" wears off pretty badly as it's only designed to protect the lcd during the manufacturing process |
| 15:56.54 | lle2 | same thing as some people leave that film in place for their mobile phones, can hardly see anything through after couple of months |
| 15:57.03 | Lynoure | it seems many people managed to pull off the removal tab, but not the film |
| 15:57.18 | lle2 | heh |
| 15:58.14 | Lynoure | I'll have to post the trick to that thread. A lot safer than trying to press in a fingernail |
| 16:14.20 | Lynoure | Thanks, all, again :) |

| 18:29.51 | theril | lle2: The display is dead silent |
| 18:30.12 | lle2 | ? |
| 18:30.21 | lle2 | no way |
| 18:30.22 | theril | lle2: The display I "bought" from you |
| 18:30.39 | theril | Did you use DVI or VGA? |
| 18:30.43 | lle2 | you've connected the power cable? |
| 18:30.44 | lle2 | both |
| 18:30.49 | theril | Yes |
| 18:30.59 | lle2 | checked all the connections? |
| 18:31.37 | lle2 | does it light up the orange led in the power button? |
| 18:31.38 | theril | No, I mean that there's no extra sounds :P |
| 18:31.48 | theril | The picture is ok :) |
| 18:31.53 | lle2 | oh |
| 18:31.55 | lle2 | man |
| 18:33.48 | lle2 | I think I muted it from the menu |
| 18:34.13 | lle2 | theril: check the menu thingy for something related to audio |
| 18:34.59 | theril | So the sound comes from the speakers? |
| 18:35.04 | lle2 | yes |
| 18:35.26 | lle2 | or so I think |
| 18:35.32 | lle2 | maybe it has some psychic interface |
| 18:35.37 | theril | OK. I'm not planning to use it anyway |
| 18:35.46 | lle2 | it's better to keep it muted |
| 18:35.59 | theril | Yeah, maybe it has something personal against you |
| 18:35.59 | lle2 | I remember that it made hideous noise |
| 19:12.40 | theril | lle2: Do you know what the USB-port in the display is for? |
| 19:16.17 | lle2 | theril: there is a usb port? |
| 19:17.17 | theril | lle2: Yep, with a weird kind of connector |
| 19:17.24 | theril | Like one on some printers |
| 19:18.09 | lle2 | no idea |

| 22:02.01 | sp3000 | ergh |
| 22:02.11 | sp3000 | does maemo mapper have a "back" button somewhere? |
| 22:03.30 | sp3000 | oh, portugal :D |
| 22:10.22 | sp3000 | well, or I guess it's either that or food |
| 22:18.27 | sp3000 | hrm |
| 22:18.41 | sp3000 | how do I add a poi in the middle of the view? |
| 22:18.50 | sp3000 | or, place the, um, caret there |
| 22:19.23 | theril | I think you just have to be accurate with the stylus |
| 22:19.39 | theril | I found the maemo mapper UI a bit weird |
| 22:19.47 | sp3000 | it seems to be hidden only in the context menu |
| 22:19.53 | theril | Yes |
| 22:20.37 | sp3000 | which is weird if I landed on the view with a text search, now I'm supposed to find the center of the screen manually :) |
| 22:20.46 | theril | IMHO it should pan the map like eg browser window does and have a caret/cursor |
| 22:21.14 | theril | And a toolbar would be nice |
| 22:23.19 | theril | Ah well, it has 54 active feature request tickets :) |
