| 00:01.38 | benno2 | answering to my own question I just checked the free maps of the maps app on the n800 and I see the one way signs |
| 00:01.48 | benno2 | but does the free app have routing capabilities ? |

| 00:05.15 | benno2 | onion: yes I've read about it. basically an n800 + gps receiver can run the same software as the n810 ? |

| 00:06.45 | benno2 | onion: I will probably buy it. 30E pro year isn't that much as long as the maps are of good quality and the system works well. I've seen the tabletpc youtube video and it seems to work fine. |
| 00:06.59 | benno2 | or is there any free app that can route ? |
| 00:07.59 | Tama^2 | meamo mapper can route |
| 00:08.16 | Tama^2 | maps in Maps are not veeery reliable |
| 00:08.17 | benno2 | but what are the drawbacks ? |
| 00:08.24 | benno2 | of maemo mapper |
| 00:08.43 | benno2 | I mean what is the advantage of wayfinder vs maemo mapper ? |
| 00:08.44 | Tama^2 | drawbacks: clumsy UI |
| 00:09.12 | Tama^2 | and routes have to be downloaded |
| 00:09.12 | benno2 | does maemo mapper offer voice guided navigation ? |
| 00:09.14 | Tama^2 | yes it does |
| 00:09.55 | benno2 | in what sense routes have to be downloaded ? does it use google maps to compute routes ? |
| 00:10.15 | onion | Tama^2: google does the routing |
| 00:10.21 | Tama^2 | I know |
| 00:10.27 | Tama^2 | but you have to be online |
| 00:10.34 | Tama^2 | when you plan the route |
| 00:10.43 | benno2 | so basically without a cellular internet connection you can forget to plan routes just in time. am I right ? |
| 00:10.53 | onion | mapper will have routing some day |
| 00:10.54 | benno2 | ok now I see the advantage of using wayfinder |
| 00:10.56 | Tama^2 | or a free wifi |
| 00:11.31 | Tama^2 | wayfinder will route you, but when you are outide the main roads it's probably going to route you into a lake |
| 00:11.36 | Tama^2 | xD |
| 00:11.59 | Tama^2 | I checked two places I knew on wayfinder maps: |
| 00:12.36 | Tama^2 | 1) a 50 km bay was erased and was indicated as land |
| 00:13.11 | Tama^2 | 2) directions to go somewhere took me through a lake |

| 01:42.25 | jgombos | what version |
| 01:42.26 | briand | i find it just short of incredible that my mythtv box shows up in the 'shared media' folders in the file manager.. amazing. I guess I need to get to work on setting up audio/video streaming from that box, now... |

| 01:43.48 | Proteous | doh |
| 01:44.04 | jgombos | y did you choose the n810? |
| 01:44.07 | Proteous | well, it's only like a tivo if you have 1 or more tuner cards in it |
| 01:44.19 | briand | ^Jsn^: imagine a build-your-own tivo like device, that runs on linux... |
| 01:44.36 | jgombos | but it's better than tivo.. commercials can be cut out automatically |
| 01:44.37 | briand | Proteous: do you have a mythtv box as well? |

| 01:45.08 | elb | briand: my mythtv box shows up, but streaming doesn't work |
| 01:45.33 | briand | elb: exactly. i think something needs to be set up on the myth box. the media lists show up because of uPnP |
| 01:45.42 | jgombos | mythtv is a pain in the ass to setup |
| 01:45.44 | elb | yeah, I dunno |
| 01:45.52 | jgombos | I gave up on it when I tried like 3 yrs ago |
| 01:45.53 | Proteous | no, but I do have a media server though, it is running on windows and uses tversity to transcode and stream to my 770 and I use samba to mount it on my apple TV to watch/listen to media |
| 01:45.55 | elb | I poked at it briefly and decided life isn't long enough |
| 01:46.15 | elb | jgombos: it's not too bad if all you want to do is use it as a tivo-type replacement |
| 01:46.22 | ^Jsn^ | I chose the 810 for the keyboard |
| 01:46.29 | elb | jgombos: if you want to use all its other features and plugins ... it's a right punk |
| 01:46.30 | Proteous | and bittorent with RSS feed downloads instead of a TV tuner :P |
| 01:46.31 | ^Jsn^ | Defnintely need the keyboard |
| 01:46.36 | ^Jsn^ | definitely |
| 01:46.37 | jgombos | ha, that's why i didn't choose the n810 |
| 01:46.46 | jgombos | can't stand keyboards on these things |
| 01:46.55 | jgombos | grafitti is quicker |
| 01:47.11 | Proteous | I wish my 770 had a keyboard, I use ssh/irssi/mutt a lot |
| 01:47.12 | elb | the n810 is the best of keyboard and no keyboard worlds -- folded up, it's still smaller than the n800 ;-) |
| 01:47.28 | elb | of course, that's price delta aside |
| 01:47.38 | jgombos | wow! mutt is ported to maemo? nice! |
| 01:47.42 | Proteous | no |
| 01:47.53 | Proteous | mutt is running on a remote box that I ssh into |
| 01:48.08 | Proteous | although I"m sure you could easily compile mutt for the nokia |

| 01:53.26 | jgombos | I've heard tethering slows people down |

| 01:53.53 | briand | I ran a script to hack GeneralAntilles' WPA2-encrypted SSID, so I usually just follow him around town and stay connected constantly. |
| 01:53.54 | GeneralAntilles | ~350KB/sec on the phone. |
| 01:53.57 | jgombos | I'm running a portable hotspot.. but it costs me $50 usd/ month |
| 01:54.00 | GeneralAntilles | DUN is a little inefficient. |
| 01:54.05 | elb | briand: interesting |
| 01:54.15 | GeneralAntilles | ohshi- |
| 01:54.17 | elb | briand: I don't have any videos, I should try sticking some on it |
| 01:54.28 | briand | elb: yes, watching "Take On Me" right now |
| 01:55.02 | elb | bluetooth is slow as hell |
| 01:55.05 | elb | is part of that equation |
| 01:55.07 | jgombos | what's the 60kb rate for? |
| 01:55.15 | elb | it's a typical bell-head ignorant standard |
| 01:55.20 | jgombos | it should be fast.. it's BT 2.0 |
| 01:55.38 | ^Jsn^ | I already called and got the media max added to my plan. I've read alot of good reviews on tethering it, even though it is not supported by cingular |
| 01:55.43 | jgombos | BT 1.2 would bottleneck it, but not 2.0 |
| 01:56.04 | jgombos | guess the phones are all 1.2 huh? |
| 01:56.16 | briand | the 1.99/ea headsets are... |
| 01:56.18 | briand | ;) |
| 01:56.23 | GeneralAntilles | PAN is in the ~120KB/sec range |
| 01:56.30 | GeneralAntilles | The bottleneck is DUN. |
| 01:57.05 | jgombos | DUN=dial up netoworking? That's a windows concept isn't it? |
| 01:57.17 | ^Jsn^ | my sony ericsson w810i is usb 2.0 |
| 01:58.08 | jgombos | I'm not sure how dun applies to tethering |
| 01:58.25 | ^Jsn^ | jgombos: Yes, but it is only a connection profile. The speeds of the dial up networking is limited only to the network that you are dialing into with cellular service. not the 56k baud rates that you are used to on land lines |
| 01:58.25 | Proteous | it's a bluetooth protocal |
| 01:58.46 | Proteous | it has slightly more overhead then bluetoothPAN |
| 01:58.52 | Proteous | so is slightly slower |
| 01:59.00 | GeneralAntilles | "slightly" :P |
| 01:59.04 | Proteous | PAN == personaly area network |
| 01:59.05 | GeneralAntilles | It's a good 50% slower. |
| 01:59.09 | Proteous | heh |
| 01:59.16 | elb | bluetooth's protocol design is DUMB |
| 01:59.23 | jgombos | wait, so folks are dialing up using an analog modem over cellular? |
| 01:59.23 | elb | it's probably at least 50% slower |
| 01:59.30 | jgombos | that is nuts |
| 01:59.32 | Proteous | jgombos: no |
| 01:59.45 | Proteous | it's not analog |
| 01:59.46 | elb | connection-oriented bluetooth communication is crazy stupid overhead |
| 02:00.01 | elb | jgombos: it's ust the same words, not the same thing |
| 02:00.20 | briand | cellular rates never get better than 19.2K around here |
| 02:00.36 | GeneralAntilles | jgombos, it's a BT profile, it really has nothing to do with the 56k sort of modem. |
| 02:00.47 | jgombos | Bluetooth 2.0 supports 3 Mbps (same as 3G's max theoretical speed) |
| 02:00.58 | jgombos | so that has to be a heck of a lot of overhead |
| 02:01.25 | elb | jgombos: that's bit rate, not data transfer rate |
| 02:01.28 | Proteous | since when does max theoretical speed mean anything in the real world? |
| 02:01.58 | Proteous | I guess if you lock yourself in a metal mesh cage with your phone and your IT |
| 02:02.07 | jgombos | It's a speed that will never be exceeded |
| 02:02.10 | elb | bluetooth has a *huge* percentage of protocol overhead in terms of per-packet bit count, as well as ignorant handshaking |
| 02:02.24 | briand | data over cellular = "welcome to the 1980s!" |
| 02:02.26 | elb | I mean ... BIG bluetooth packets are like 16 bytes or something |

| 02:06.15 | elb | but data so horribly overpriced it's not even fair to compare :-P |
| 02:06.29 | jgombos | Once you account for all the contracts, rules, and scams, it is overpriced |
| 02:06.37 | elb | not really |
| 02:06.42 | elb | well, I take that back |
| 02:06.48 | elb | if you don't use your phone very much, it is |
| 02:06.52 | jgombos | Consumer reports published a 60% satisfaction rating for all US cellular customers |
| 02:07.00 | elb | but if you use the phone a lot for voice communication, it's much cheaper than abroad |

| 02:07.45 | elb | what is this "internet phone" you speak of? |
| 02:07.50 | jgombos | VOIP |

| 02:07.56 | elb | oh |
| 02:08.12 | ^Jsn^ | yeah i have no home phone and still have 4500 roll over minutes that i'll never use |
| 02:08.14 | jgombos | VOIP is the only way to have a secure conversation |
| 02:08.25 | jgombos | AFAIK |
| 02:08.36 | briand | nah. comcast can barely be trusted with analog video... wouldn't want to put all my communications in their hands! |
| 02:08.37 | Proteous | what about face to face? |
| 02:09.00 | Proteous | slipping secret notes across the classroom works pretty well too |
| 02:09.05 | jgombos | I agree.. don't trust comcast |
| 02:09.08 | Proteous | as long as the teacher doesn't see you |
| 02:09.12 | briand | jgombos: no, not at all. you can secure landline easily enough |
| 02:09.15 | jgombos | unless you VPN tunnel over them |
| 02:09.18 | briand | or cellular, for that matter |
| 02:09.21 | elb | although note that most people use commercial protocols without enough information to determine whether it's *really* secure |
| 02:09.28 | jgombos | how? |
| 02:09.29 | elb | so ... they may or may not actually be secure |
| 02:09.51 | ^Jsn^ | well I work for the DOD and all of our secure phones are VOIP |
| 02:10.16 | briand | i dunno how it is where you guys are, but there's a -huge- disparity between technology-users and those that know what they have, here... |
| 02:10.42 | briand | my n800 sees 14 networks at 3 bars or better, from inside my house. only one of them is mine. |
| 02:10.51 | jgombos | that's what I would expect.. but briand is saying landline / cellular can be secured |
| 02:10.54 | Proteous | digital comunications are much easier to encrypt then analog :) |
| 02:11.02 | briand | there's a fair number of "dlink" "linksys" and "NETGEAR" SSID broadcasts, unlocked... |
| 02:11.04 | elb | note that securing cellular is more difficult than securing a landline, because the compression is so aggressive |
| 02:11.20 | briand | jgombos: yes, it can. :) I've done it. |
| 02:11.26 | elb | jgombos: securing PSTN has been well understood for decades |
| 02:11.51 | jgombos | understood by who.. the nsa? |
| 02:11.59 | Proteous | whom |
| 02:12.03 | elb | understood by many |
| 02:12.06 | briand | an english major! |
| 02:12.07 | briand | ;) |
| 02:12.10 | elb | and you can buy devices to do it |
| 02:12.20 | briand | or build them, elb. |
| 02:12.22 | briand | ;) |
| 02:12.32 | elb | or, these days, write them in software |
| 02:12.39 | briand | better yet, firmware. |
| 02:12.43 | ^Jsn^ | Has anyone tried that media player that mimic's the ipod touch? If so, does it work well? |
| 02:13.03 | elb | note that the actual bandwidth of a GSM line is *very* low compared to a PSTN line -- you can easily pump voice quality audio through a regular dialup modem at 9600 baud |
| 02:13.13 | GeneralAntilles | Canola? ^Jsn^? |
| 02:13.18 | elb | which means you can encrypt it with whatever you like :-) |
| 02:13.27 | Proteous | rot13? |
| 02:13.32 | jgombos | voice doesn't take much bandwidth.. just a good latency |
| 02:13.34 | briand | ha! |
| 02:13.35 | elb | if you like ;-) |
| 02:13.40 | GeneralAntilles | ROT26! |
| 02:13.41 | jgombos | VOIP will work over analog dialup |
| 02:13.43 | Proteous | heh |
| 02:13.54 | GeneralAntilles | They'll never guess. |
| 02:14.06 | Proteous | VOIP works over sneakernet, but the latency is horrible |
| 02:14.08 | briand | just use a 'one time pad' |
| 02:14.12 | ^Jsn^ | GeneralAntilles: UKMP |
| 02:14.20 | GeneralAntilles | It's fine |
| 02:14.25 | GeneralAntilles | but no longer under development. |
| 02:14.43 | ^Jsn^ | is canola better? |
| 02:14.53 | briand | better for you, when deep-frying. |
| 02:15.02 | briand | okay.. i need coffee. brb. |
| 02:15.07 | jgombos | So is there any way to tether and have the bottleneck at the EVDO connection? ie. over USB? |
| 02:15.07 | Proteous | I prefer peanut oil, for the higher smoke point |
| 02:15.37 | elb | eh, canola oil doesn't smoke at 400 degrees |
| 02:15.39 | elb | and that's all that matters |
| 02:15.48 | jgombos | yeah peanut is up there w/ sesame |
| 02:15.58 | ^Jsn^ | so what is the best media player for OS2008? |
| 02:16.15 | elb | grapeseed oil is even higher, but that's irrelevant too ;-) |
| 02:16.50 | GeneralAntilles | ^Jsn^, that's not an answerable question |
| 02:16.53 | GeneralAntilles | Depends on your needs |
| 02:17.06 | GeneralAntilles | Out of any 10 people, most of them will give you different answers. |
| 02:17.41 | jgombos | w/ an emerging device, that's not a bad question though.. there may only be 2 or 3 to choose from |
| 02:17.57 | jgombos | and only one may be ready for prime time |
| 02:17.57 | elb | therea re more like 20 or 30 ;-) |
| 02:18.03 | Proteous | 1: I use cat /dev/audio I don't even see the code anymore, all I see is Bach, Clapton, NIN |
| 02:18.25 | briand | ...and i thought *I* was eclectic in my music tastes! |
| 02:18.29 | jgombos | i've only heard about Canola so far |
| 02:18.57 | jgombos | irc needs a "/np" command |
| 02:19.12 | ^Jsn^ | can canola play avi? |
| 02:19.17 | GeneralAntilles | Canola, UKMP, Media player, Kagu, XMMS, mpd/mmpc |
| 02:19.19 | GeneralAntilles | the list goes on |
| 02:19.35 | GeneralAntilles | ^Jsn^, everything uses either mplayer on gstreamer. |
| 02:19.42 | GeneralAntilles | Canola can actually use both |
| 02:19.48 | jgombos | It's quite impressive that canola can stream from your home library though.. do others do that? |
| 02:19.51 | GeneralAntilles | but, yes, it can do .avi. |
| 02:19.59 | GeneralAntilles | Media player |
| 02:20.02 | GeneralAntilles | Media streamer |
| 02:21.15 | ^Jsn^ | I wish that the 810 had a video ouput cable. It would be cool to stream from my home video collection, but not to a 4 inch screen |
| 02:22.02 | jgombos | what would the role of the nokia be in that case? |
| 02:22.06 | jgombos | u don't need it |
| 02:22.42 | jgombos | ..unless the tv isn't connected to a media player |
| 02:23.05 | ^Jsn^ | well I travel alot. I'd like to put some movies on an 8gig card and connect it to a tv in the hotel room and watch the movie, rather than on the device |
| 02:23.12 | ^Jsn^ | yeah i don't have my house networked yet |
| 02:24.40 | jgombos | any1 know if there is any effort planned to get an Ada compiler for our toy? |
| 02:25.01 | ^Jsn^ | what is ada? |
| 02:25.04 | Proteous | that's going to be worked on right after the fortran compiler |
| 02:25.14 | briand | right after the cobol compiler, no doubt... |
| 02:25.23 | Proteous | doh, you beat me to it |
| 02:25.27 | briand | Proteous: did we have the smae parents? |
| 02:25.33 | Proteous | heh |
| 02:25.40 | jgombos | It's a language.. the most reliable in the world.. used for safety critical tasks |
| 02:25.59 | Proteous | will it make the nokia IT crashproof? |
| 02:26.06 | briand | safer than prolog? surely you jest! |
| 02:26.53 | jgombos | Ada would make the NIT closer to crashproof than it would be w/out it |
| 02:27.00 | Proteous | everyone knows the safest programing language is "insert your safe language of choise here" |
| 02:27.23 | briand | perl -- it's as safe as you want it to be. |
| 02:27.25 | jgombos | To be precise, 6 times closer to crashproof than C programs |
| 02:27.36 | jgombos | and 3 times more crashproof than C++ |
| 02:27.37 | elb | you can't make that claim |
| 02:27.46 | elb | and you CERTAINLY can't make *that* claim |
| 02:28.11 | jgombos | Lockheed made the claim |
| 02:28.26 | jgombos | of course, after an extensive study |
| 02:28.30 | elb | government contractors hire monkeys to write their code |
| 02:28.33 | Proteous | but 74.23% of statistics are made up? |
| 02:28.34 | briand | i can write you an 18 byte "hello world" program in assembler that you can't crash. how big would the equivalent program be in ada? |
| 02:29.11 | briand | Proteous: true, but 19% of those are true, anyway, on average. |
| 02:29.12 | jgombos | Doesn't matter, Ada is not for trivial packages |
| 02:29.23 | Proteous | it'll crash if I expose the CPU to cosmic rays while it is running! MUHAHAHAHA |
| 02:29.44 | briand | not if i write it with man-in-the-moon marigold protection! |
| 02:30.00 | Proteous | is that like pokemon power? |
| 02:30.36 | briand | no, it's a vague literary reference from the 1960s |
| 02:30.46 | Proteous | ah |
| 02:30.52 | briand | "the effect of gamma rays on man-in-the-moon marigolds" |
| 02:31.10 | Proteous | not familiar with that one |
| 02:31.26 | briand | there's a wikipedia link on your n8x0 tablet... |
| 02:31.29 | briand | ;) |
| 02:31.37 | Proteous | sadly, I have a n770 |
| 02:31.44 | Proteous | and it's installing canola2 ATM |
| 02:32.40 | Proteous | now it's being rebooted |
| 02:33.19 | Proteous | now I"m watching weak nokia hands |
| 02:33.31 | *** join/#maemo dospod (n=dospod@cpe-68-206-118-157.stx.res.rr.com) |
| 02:34.24 | Proteous | I get the subtle message that nokia feels the need to hold my hand like I am a child |
| 02:35.17 | dospod | I get the feel nokia dosent know how to market their products well |

| 02:38.39 | GeneralAntilles | dospod, it's not that |
| 02:38.39 | jgombos | well nokia should probably ignore the US market anyway |
| 02:38.46 | GeneralAntilles | it's that they don't want to market until they hit step 5. |
| 02:38.56 | jgombos | Americans are too into the closed boxed junk |
| 02:39.19 | derf | What step are we on now? Collect underpants? |
| 02:39.21 | elb | s/Americans/people/ |
| 02:39.31 | ^Jsn^ | hey don't need great advertising when they have kickass products |
| 02:39.35 | jgombos | only if europeans != people |
| 02:39.49 | elb | europeans are just as into "closed box junk" as Americans are |
| 02:39.59 | Navi | heh |
| 02:40.00 | elb | unless I completely misunderstand your meaning of "closed box junk" |
| 02:40.04 | jgombos | linux is popular outside of the US.. relatively speaking |
| 02:40.12 | ^Jsn^ | europe is america part 2 |
| 02:40.15 | jgombos | Asia and europe in particular |
| 02:40.21 | elb | I doubt that it's any more popular outside the US than it is in America |
| 02:40.28 | elb | my personal experience certainly doesn't suggest that is the case |
| 02:40.48 | ^Jsn^ | that whats the case |
| 02:40.52 | GeneralAntilles | jgombos, that sounds like a bogus claim. |
| 02:41.11 | elb | ^Jsn^: that Linux is measurably "more popular" outside the US than within |
| 02:41.18 | jgombos | The US gov embraces M$, even when it's not appropriate |
| 02:41.30 | derf | I don't know about Asia, but Linux is certainly much less popular in Japan than the US. |
| 02:41.32 | briand | or legal, for that matter |
| 02:41.44 | Navi | The government embraces Linux to pinch pennies |
| 02:41.50 | jgombos | yeah, I can agree on japan |
| 02:41.58 | jgombos | (where it's cool to be american) |
| 02:42.02 | elb | jgombos: yes, itis true that the government doesn't adopt Linux as much as (I think) it should -- but neither do European governments, by and large |
| 02:42.14 | jgombos | Navi, actually, it's about reliability |
| 02:42.31 | jgombos | The german gov. forced M$ to show the source.. and then chose linux anyway |
| 02:42.33 | Navi | There are a few European countries that have huge Linux adoption rates, though. |
| 02:42.41 | jgombos | the whole inspection was for reliability |
| 02:42.42 | briand | and they embrace M$ because it's about accountability. they need a warrantee |
| 02:43.06 | dospod | I hate how populor ms is |
| 02:43.11 | jgombos | And australia, from what I understand |
| 02:43.25 | dospod | windows is good dont get me wrong but the monoply needs to be stopped |
| 02:43.26 | jgombos | I also see a lot of open source products coming out of germany |
| 02:43.48 | jgombos | Ha, but M$ doesn't warrant their product either! |
| 02:43.50 | GeneralAntilles | elb, when is that ever not true? :P |
| 02:43.56 | briand | no, windows is not good, merely pervasive |
| 02:44.00 | lcuk_3 | you cannot stop something until you have a viable alternative - as a linux dev i do not think its ready |
| 02:44.04 | jgombos | The fitness of windows comes w/ no guarantee |
| 02:44.05 | elb | GeneralAntilles: well ... there's a level of it that can be tolerated ;-) |
| 02:44.09 | briand | jgombos: true, but they'll sell you a support plan. |
| 02:44.12 | lcuk_3 | (tho apple is) |
| 02:44.12 | ^Jsn^ | I just don't understand why an open source OS has to resort to command line functions for installing applications!? |
| 02:44.48 | jgombos | but there are linux based companies that will do the same |
| 02:44.49 | GeneralAntilles | ^Jsn^, it has everything to do with its background. |
| 02:45.01 | briand | only while we wait for the ada implemented GUI installer app to show up.. |
| 02:45.08 | jgombos | Windows is being chosen carelessly.. it's a terrible "default" choice |
| 02:45.13 | GeneralAntilles | Commandline isn't a bad thing, though. |
| 02:45.45 | ^Jsn^ | for the average user it is. |
| 02:45.55 | GeneralAntilles | jgombos, for a lot of people, it's all about availability and compatibility. |
| 02:46.01 | dospod | command line is scary to people who arent computer litarate |
| 02:46.16 | briand | i did computer support in the good ol' DOS days. reliability through obfuscation! nobody ever accidentally formatted their HD, or accidentally typed in a destructive command... |
| 02:46.20 | dospod | like my parents would think something bad is going on if they had to open a command line |
| 02:46.20 | GeneralAntilles | The average joe is gonna suffer a lot more trying to run Linux without a knowledgeable person than Windows. |
| 02:46.29 | GeneralAntilles | People that know something about Windows are a dime a dozen. |
| 02:47.00 | wumpus | linux can be quite simple too, if you take the right distribution you never have to see a commandline or anything else scary |
| 02:47.12 | briand | you only "rm / -rf *" once, and then you learn not to do it. |
| 02:47.17 | GeneralAntilles | wumpus, that's only really a recent development. |
| 02:47.17 | elb | (an essay which I actually have on my 810!) |
| 02:47.18 | Proteous | elb, I love that book |
| 02:47.20 | pupnik | you don't need a commandline to use a tablet. it just enhances your power |
| 02:47.21 | GeneralAntilles | There's a lot of inertia to overcome. |
| 02:47.25 | jgombos | I've taken a man in his 70s from a typewriter directly to linux.. he could handle it fine. |
| 02:47.28 | wumpus | well, try ubuntu I'd say |
| 02:47.31 | jgombos | linux is ready for laypeople |
| 02:47.43 | elb | Proteous: yeah, it's excellent; it oversimplifies a lot, and takes some liberty with the details, but drives home some good points |
| 02:47.49 | dospod | plus people expect to play mp3s out of box |
| 02:47.49 | wumpus | 'very recent' is already two years or so |
| 02:47.50 | Proteous | yeah |
| 02:48.17 | GeneralAntilles | wumpus, right, that's very recent for overcoming 20 years of Windows inertia. |
| 02:48.31 | wumpus | well I've introduced new users to it and they found it simple too |
| 02:48.53 | GeneralAntilles | Most people don't have Linux support people to fall back on. |
| 02:48.55 | wumpus | as soon as you know where the word processor, browser is in the meu you're ready to go :) |
| 02:49.10 | Proteous | easy linux is two words, asus eeepc |
| 02:49.14 | jgombos | I gave a guy in his 50s a dual booting Win2k / DSL linux box.. he said DSL is easier |
| 02:49.20 | ^Jsn^ | it is simple, if you have the list of commands taped to the side of your computer |
| 02:49.22 | lcuk_3 | Proteous, 100% |
| 02:49.24 | jgombos | it was his first computer |
| 02:49.28 | GeneralAntilles | In the business world, there's a lot of stuff that Linux simply doesn't have solutions to. |
| 02:49.40 | wumpus | there's also a lot that it has solutions too |
| 02:49.58 | lcuk_3 | people buy it cos its small and cheap - and most of all because of this they dont expect the latest and greatest windows things to work anyway - "its just a cheap computer" |
| 02:50.25 | Proteous | I'm a firm beliver in using the best tool for the job, but an even firmer beliver in knowing your tools inside and out, which helps mightly with rule 1 |
| 02:50.36 | briand | exactly. |
| 02:50.44 | ^Jsn^ | I don't get the eeepc, they are comparing it to the 810. It is a very small laptop. not a pocket portable internet tablet |
| 02:51.03 | Navi | They're comparing it because it's comparable in pricing. |
| 02:51.07 | GeneralAntilles | I like the "but I can fit my Eee in my pocket" retort. |
| 02:51.07 | lcuk_3 | the problem with linux is that there are 4000 different (buit similar) tools which all nearly do what you want but not quite |
| 02:51.17 | Proteous | you could sew a custom EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPC pocket |
| 02:51.24 | wumpus | anyway, the business world is a completely different thing than making it usable for laypeople |
| 02:51.35 | jgombos | But back to marketing, Nokia would be foolish to spend much on marketing to a crowd of wisdom-lacking windows-using consumers.. their marketing it to the folks who will seek out what's good |
| 02:51.38 | Navi | I'm a firm believer in shut the fuck up. |
| 02:51.46 | GeneralAntilles | ^ |
| 02:51.49 | Proteous | heh |
| 02:51.53 | jgombos | *they're |
| 02:52.07 | ^Jsn^ | lol |
| 02:52.19 | jgombos | i know if I don't correct myself, the english major will |
| 02:52.40 | lcuk_3 | this isn't /. |
| 02:53.24 | Navi | Rabble rabble rabble rabble! |
| 02:53.27 | ^Jsn^ | no one answered me, has anyone tried orb with the tablet? |
| 02:53.38 | jgombos | what's that? |
| 02:53.57 | Proteous | I for one welcome or non marketing savy but great product producing nokia overlords |
| 02:53.57 | GeneralAntilles | ^Jsn^, yes, somebody has. |
| 02:54.08 | ^Jsn^ | its an internet based tv streaming site. it's free and streams your video, audio, and live tv from your computer |
| 02:54.21 | ^Jsn^ | anyone that is currently alive in this room |
| 02:54.30 | Navi | No. |
| 02:54.32 | Proteous | I used that for a while |
| 02:54.41 | GeneralAntilles | http://tabletblog.com/search?q=orb |
| 02:54.57 | ^Jsn^ | Proteous: with the tablet? |
| 02:55.00 | pupnik | The teletype would shudder as it was possessed by the spirit of the distant mainframe, and begin to hammer out cryptic messages. |
| 02:55.20 | Proteous | yeah |
| 02:55.30 | GeneralAntilles | pupnik's possessed! |
| 02:55.48 | Proteous | it never worked that well for me, although I don't know if it was orbs fault or just my crappy previous wifi router |

| 02:56.37 | SDuensin | hehe |
| 02:56.53 | elb | my previous academic advisor still uses a microvax as his primary workstation |
| 02:57.38 | elb | let me take that back |
| 02:57.45 | Proteous | I have tversity running on my media server, it on the fly transcodes my video and streams it to my n770 where media streamer sucessfully plays it back |
| 02:57.48 | elb | he *sits* in front of a sparcstation -- but all of his work is on the microvax |

| 03:04.54 | ^Jsn^ | I read about tunneling a while back. Seems a bit complicated to setup |
| 03:05.08 | Proteous | not really |
| 03:05.17 | elb | ssh -D is your friend |
| 03:05.44 | jgombos | The client end of a tunnel is easy |
| 03:05.54 | jgombos | The server end can be complex |
| 03:06.10 | Proteous | there is a little bit of a learning curve to get you head wrapped around it and to learn the commands, but it's a super useful thing to know/use |
| 03:07.30 | elb | ssh -D eliminates most of that curve |
| 03:07.37 | elb | for 95% of use cases or more |
| 03:09.10 | Proteous | yeah, but knowing how to use -L makes it easier to realize how much useful stuff you can do :) |
| 03:09.18 | briand | what? no man pages on the n800 ? for shame! |
| 03:09.23 | elb | I never use -L and -R any more |
| 03:09.46 | elb | I have NO IDEA why all the SSH tutorials out there detail them, and not -D |
| 03:09.56 | elb | (if I were to choose only one, it would be -D, hands down) |
| 03:11.38 | Proteous | you've never forwareded a port to a machine that wasn't the sshd server then :P |
| 03:12.02 | elb | yes, I have |
| 03:12.18 | elb | but that's virtually never actually required |
| 03:12.43 | Proteous | sure it is |
| 03:12.49 | derf | I agree. It is. |
| 03:12.54 | elb | have you looked to see what -D does? |
| 03:13.00 | Proteous | well, I use it a lot |
| 03:13.19 | elb | you may use it a lot, but there are *very* few instances where -D doesn't solve it just as well, without a specific forward |
| 03:13.35 | Proteous | remotly getting at services running on a machine behind a firewall that is running sshd |
| 03:13.46 | elb | right -- I use -D for that all the time |
| 03:13.48 | elb | seriously, look it up |
| 03:14.10 | elb | it creates a SOCKS proxy on localhost which connects from the remote end of the tunnel |
| 03:14.33 | elb | it's basically exactly like setting up an indefinite number of -L tunnels, but requires only one local port |
| 03:14.40 | elb | the only catch is that your client has to speak SOCKS |
| 03:15.15 | elb | (the "virtually never" where it matters is when you need to forward something you can't coax through SOCKS) |
| 03:15.39 | elb | -R is a different story, but for -L ... -D is usually what you actaully want :-) |

| 03:42.16 | dragorn | there shouldn't be any hardware limitation, so I'd wager that 8 gig number is either a temporary sw limit or that there aren't any larger mini cards |

| 03:44.41 | jgombos | sorry.. hard to keep the 810/800 discussion straight |
| 03:44.43 | dragorn | mini or micro 8 gig are relatively rare, and often kinda crap |
| 03:44.58 | lcuk_3 | thats wong, google lied |
| 03:45.07 | Proteous | damn you wong!!! |
| 03:45.10 | jgombos | that's another reason I intend to avoid the n810 |
| 03:45.42 | dragorn | Avoid it all you want, I kind of doubt they'll be moving back towards fullsize sd. Time will tell, of course. |
| 03:45.50 | Proteous | if you don't value the smaller size or the keyboard, by all means go with the cheaper, more slot endowed n800 |

| 03:48.18 | Proteous | I tried |
| 03:48.41 | Proteous | neither of them worked, turns out you need to use some sort of micro to mini adaptor |
| 03:48.49 | jgombos | nice to be able to forcefully disable it.. so you can stay current w/ BT GPS advancements |
| 03:49.01 | lcuk_3 | yer i know that - i was thinking of some sort of dual micro -> mini adapter |

| 03:49.06 | Proteous | :P |
| 03:49.36 | dragorn | jgombos: I wouldn't be confident in the assumption that BT uses less power than GPS, would have to check the chip specs |

| 03:50.06 | lcuk_3 | if you have bt enabled anyway its gotta be a decent saving |

| 03:53.39 | jgombos | I thought it was interesting that they put an FM receiver in the n800.. but not a transmitter. |
| 03:53.55 | jgombos | Seems a FM transmitter would be more useful |

| 03:55.13 | Navi | Well, the receiver was part of the chipset they used, wasn't it? |
| 03:55.14 | jgombos | Regulations would be a non-issue if they just go w/ a canned solution (already approved circuits) |
| 03:55.36 | jgombos | perhaps.. i dunno.. but it doesn't work.. not out of the box anyway |

| 03:59.42 | jgombos | I suspect you're right though.. GPS probably uses less power |
| 03:59.44 | dragorn | "any product sheets" really meaning "that list actual power draw" |

| 05:35.45 | Navi | You just need the Xephyr X module installed. Xephyr runs on top of a running X server. |
| 05:36.40 | jgombos | If something goes wrong, could it mess up my desktop? Or just the SDK environment? |

| 05:37.41 | jgombos | okay.. I'm just trying to get a general idea of the risks. |
| 05:37.54 | jgombos | my knowledge is weak on Xserver configs |
| 05:37.56 | GeneralAntilles | Just run the VMWare image. |
| 05:38.26 | jgombos | yeah, I can see how vmware would create a sheltered risk free environment |
| 05:38.58 | jgombos | but there's also a vmware learning curve :> |
| 05:39.04 | Navi | No there isn't. |
| 05:39.21 | Navi | You just boot up the image that's provided for you |
| 05:39.37 | Navi | The vmware image is Ubuntu, I believe. |
| 05:39.58 | jgombos | Doesn't VMware have to boot before my Red Hat kernel? |
| 05:40.20 | jgombos | Or does that run within a red hat session? |
| 05:40.46 | Navi | Do you know what VMWare is? |
| 05:40.58 | jgombos | only a very vague idea |
| 05:41.18 | jgombos | It's a way of running another os in parallel, right? |
| 05:41.29 | Navi | sure |
| 05:42.17 | jgombos | I'm not sure at which point vmware is in control.. I thought i remember it taking over the MBR or boot sector or something. |
| 05:43.28 | GeneralAntilles | It's a virtualized machine. |
| 05:43.36 | GeneralAntilles | Think of it like a windowed FPS |
| 05:43.50 | GeneralAntilles | You can cycle in and out of it. |
| 05:45.12 | jgombos | So I can boot my red hat box like normal, and simply run vmware as a user? |
| 05:45.26 | jgombos | which in turn just runs an image? |
| 05:45.48 | jgombos | if so, then I don't have a problem with it.. I'll probably try that |

| 06:31.12 | derf | Did you add your user to the sbox group? |
| 06:31.15 | jgombos | It said "starting scratchbox: mount" when I kicked it off.. is that the right message? |

| 06:31.48 | jgombos | sbox_adduser username yes |
| 06:32.17 | jgombos | ah, that might be it. the user acct may need a new shell |
| 06:32.19 | derf | E.g., if you run "groups" it should include sbox in the list. |
| 06:33.28 | jgombos | that must be the issue.. i didn't actually make it into the group. |

| 14:41.34 | Alendit_ | zoran, the stupid thing is: this filter is to prevent desktops and laptops to use this proxy...with a desktop i would have no problem go through it... |

| 14:44.18 | zoran | hm |
| 14:44.33 | zoran | ftp via browser goes out? |
| 14:44.35 | Alendit_ | it reads 2 lines from http header: user agent and uaprof |
| 14:44.58 | zoran | k, some tunnel should do the thing |
| 14:44.59 | Alendit_ | is those are cell-phone-like it let it through |
| 14:45.28 | Alendit_ | yeah, i know, but for a tunnel i need a server that is permanently online |
| 14:45.39 | zoran | so, some packet injector would change the headers proxy sees |

| 16:17.12 | jott | (preliminary) instructions: http://sse2.net/rotate/ |
| 16:18.52 | lcuk | jott, this is full hildon rotation for the entire desktop, or just extensions to allow an app to choose? (i know it can be enabled already at some level) |
| 16:19.11 | jott | lcuk: for the entire desktop |
| 16:19.43 | lcuk | cool :) though i think it will be more suited to the 800 - the 810 has a definate prefered orientation |
| 16:20.03 | jott | lcuk: not with a closed keyboard :) |
| 16:20.10 | lcuk | unless you can make a software hack to rotate the keyboard ;) |
| 16:20.38 | jott | i use it on a n810. as i also wrote a status bar applet it's easy to rotate when desired ;) |
| 16:21.21 | lcuk | the lcd supports all types of rotation (0,90,180,270) have you got the desktop working at 90? |
| 16:21.41 | jott | lcuk: that was the main point to do so :) |

| 16:22.19 | jott | it's not for "regular" use |
| 16:22.26 | jott | but for browsing etc. its nice |
| 16:22.48 | lcuk | i bet - i read books at 90, and use vnc at 90 and it fits better |
| 16:24.04 | jott | fbreader should be a bit faster with hardware rotation :) |
| 16:24.29 | lcuk | fbreader is just slow anyway - im working through the options to allow proper scrolling and refresh rates |
| 16:24.46 | lcuk | i hate the way you see the page refresh |
| 16:25.08 | lcuk | its like a multimedia wipe effect you see on crappy ppts |

| 16:28.23 | lcuk | does the app know its working with a 480*800 screen though, or is it rendering as usual then having it rotated and scaled? |
| 16:29.10 | jott | lcuk: it's just a normal x window so it gets a resize event when screen is rotated |
| 16:30.00 | lcuk | nice :) ive saved a link and will investigate further in the coming days - its an area of interest |
| 16:30.49 | jott | yeah feedback would be nice.. i need to prepare an upstream patch anyway.. |
| 16:30.58 | lcuk | i was considering doing the rotation purely at the app level (but still using the lcd to do the lifting) but if it can be gotten into the kernel its job is done |
| 16:31.56 | jott | yeah well the rotation support is in the kernel git (though with some bugs) but i doubt we'll see it with an official os2008 upgrade.. |
| 16:32.30 | jott | anyway.. who needs official releases :P |
| 16:34.35 | lcuk | right, that does it - ive never tried anything with linux flashing or anything but i think this will be worth it. im gonna see how far i get with this, just gonna backup 1st... |

| 16:36.56 | jott | nope |
| 16:37.07 | jott | it should be safe.. |
| 16:37.23 | lcuk | but i will lose any modifications i have made to other parts of the filesystem - like i have added desktop items and shortcuts and things in /usr/bin |
| 16:37.37 | lcuk | or is this not the same as a full system reflash |
| 16:37.38 | jott | only if you do a complete reflash.. |
| 16:37.52 | jott | it just changes the kernel and then there is a package for Xomap.. |
| 16:37.57 | fysa | lcuk |
| 16:37.58 | fysa | make ~/bin |

| 20:38.12 | milhouse | hi |
| 20:38.24 | Tama^2 | Hi :) |
| 20:38.50 | Tama^2 | I run some power consumptions tests on my n800 |
| 20:39.01 | Tama^2 | because I suspected it was drawing too much power |
| 20:39.15 | Tama^2 | apparently when sdcards are inserted |
| 20:39.18 | *** join/#maemo doc|home (n=doc@gentoo/contributor/doc-007) |
| 20:39.52 | Tama^2 | the battery lasts only 1/10th compared to when no sd cards are inserted |
| 20:40.02 | Tama^2 | it happens even if I umount them |
| 20:40.35 | Tama^2 | (the tests are run with the screen locked, offline, no metalayer running, no apps, no desktop applets) |
| 20:40.52 | *** part/#maemo Tu13es (i=brandon@colobus.isomerica.net) |
| 20:40.56 | milhouse | odd |
| 20:41.34 | milhouse | before you said you had unmounted them I'd have said you were having a problem with metalayer-crawler |
| 20:42.05 | milhouse | lasing only 1/10th suggests something is hammering on the CPU and not letting it sleep |
| 20:42.21 | Tama^2 | yep |
| 20:42.39 | Tama^2 | same conclusion except the load is 0 |
| 20:43.05 | milhouse | anything in dmesg? i really don't know what else to suggest |
| 20:43.17 | jott | http://www.drlinux.it/maemo/battery_consumption.html |
| 20:43.54 | Tama^2 | yeah that is the *incomplete* tests I ran |
| 20:44.08 | jott | ah it's yours. :) |
| 20:45.13 | milhouse | what make of SD cards? |
| 20:45.27 | Tama^2 | yes I have run MAY more tests but eneded up being frustrated and did not publish them |
| 20:45.35 | milhouse | I don't have any problems with 4GB and 8GB SDHC Transcend cards |
| 20:46.11 | milhouse | From what you are saying, it appears that the presence of SD cards in the slot(s) is the key factor |
| 20:46.19 | Tama^2 | I have 4: 2xA-Data (16Gb) , 1xA-Data (4Gb), 1x"Nokia" 128Mb |

| 20:50.11 | Tama^2 | yes |
| 20:50.27 | Tama^2 | then tried the modified kernel to get extra logging about mmcs |
| 20:50.43 | milhouse | but no difference in power consumption between either kernel? |
| 20:50.49 | Tama^2 | no difference |
| 20:50.57 | milhouse | ok... i suppose that's good |
| 20:51.12 | milhouse | i don't know what else could be the problem... unless it's a hardware issue? |
| 20:51.28 | Tama^2 | the extra logging tells me that both cards go to power mode 3 when the tablet is idle |

| 20:57.38 | sp3000 | what sort of frequency do you have on the logging, and does the amount depend on the amount of cards? |

| 21:09.06 | Navi | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:09.13 | milhouse | Tama^2 - it probably would be worth flashing with the last OS 2007 and testing that to try and rule out hardware |
| 21:09.33 | milhouse | if you have no probs with 2007, but have a problem with 2008, then perhaps someone can start narrowing down where the change occurred |

| 21:10.22 | Tama^2 | is the image available on maemo or do I have to dig it up form Nokia's site? |
| 21:10.41 | milhouse | but if you're going to be doing tests where you re-flash with 2008 from scratch, it shouldn't make much difference if you also reflash with 2007 |

| 22:37.58 | rm_you | seriously, i love maemo... i love my n800... i love developing for it... but this is a curveball straight in the face, at like 90mph |
| 22:38.08 | Proteous | well |
| 22:38.19 | Proteous | there is a built in system to update your device |
| 22:38.32 | Proteous | called the application manager |
| 22:38.50 | Tama^2 | o'rly? |
| 22:39.00 | Proteous | ya'rly |

| 22:39.20 | Proteous | lol |
| 22:39.29 | Proteous | looks like eyeballs with bat wings |
| 22:39.36 | Proteous | but I'll buy it |
| 22:39.43 | livinded | does the 810 have some kind of indicator that it's fully charged? |
| 22:39.57 | Tama^2 | o,o + ^O^ = ^o,o^ |
| 22:40.07 | rm_you | the battery icon in the top right? |
| 22:40.11 | Proteous | the battery meter shows full and doesn't animate |
| 22:40.12 | livinded | I've had it plugged in for a few hours now and I charged it for maybe 4 yesterday and it just says charging |
| 22:40.13 | rm_you | livinded: ^^^^^^^^^^ |
| 22:40.32 | livinded | I mean when it's off and plugged in |
| 22:40.41 | Proteous | heh |
| 22:40.46 | livinded | does it ever say anything but "charging"? |
| 22:43.46 | *** part/#maemo hugolp (n=jo@unaffiliated/hugolp) |
| 22:43.56 | lcuk | after a few hours the charger says "disconnect charger to prevent power wastage |
| 22:44.07 | Proteous | wastage huh |
| 22:44.19 | Proteous | your charger talks? |
| 22:44.21 | Proteous | that's cool |
| 22:44.25 | Proteous | mine just sits there |
| 22:44.32 | Proteous | gets a little warm but that's it |
| 22:44.43 | lcuk | it also makes me a brew when i ask it nicely and can even give me a boost in the mornings |
| 22:44.50 | Proteous | nice |
| 22:45.05 | livinded | I just need to find a screen cover for it, I wish they didn't have that sticker and the tab on the one it comes with |
| 22:45.13 | lcuk | i dont know if it gives the message i said when the power is off on the device |
| 22:45.23 | livinded | and possibly a car charger for when I want to use gps |
| 22:45.35 | Proteous | who turns their IT off anyway? |
| 22:45.49 | lcuk | mine turns off automatically - the battery just drains |
| 22:46.04 | lcuk | i havent found a way to prevent it yet so try to keep it powered but its a bit restrictive |
| 22:46.30 | livinded | I turn mine off, the bootup time is fast enough that I'd rather preserve the battery |
| 22:46.45 | rm_you | mine turns off by itself every 30 seconds |
| 22:46.48 | rm_you | and then back on again. |
| 22:46.48 | lcuk | i suppose i never noticed it with my pda because its dock was also its charger so there was no real change in use |
| 22:46.55 | Proteous | the nice think about the n770 is that when you put the hardcover on it turns the wifi off, it lasts a long time in standby |
| 22:47.22 | Proteous | although you can turn that functionality off if you want |
| 22:47.37 | lcuk | but "off" on the nokia is not actually off - i had a runaway process which was going and even though the device shut down and dropped to a blank screen my processz was running - io know this because when i plugged charger in my process continued |
| 22:48.17 | Tama^2 | off is off if the charger is unplugged :) |
| 22:48.19 | pupnik | off is off |
| 22:48.23 | lcuk | it flickered over the top of the charging logo - rather worrying, someone explained that 810 just dropped down to a lower runlevel whatever that means |
| 22:48.31 | livinded | does holding down the button turn it off or just hibernate it? |
| 22:48.55 | pupnik | what Tama^2 said |
| 22:49.17 | lcuk | then how come when the screen came back on my process was still writing bytes to it |
| 22:49.20 | Tama^2 | what pupnik said about what Tama^2 said |
| 22:49.20 | Proteous | it's only off if it has to boot up when you turn it back on |
| 22:49.38 | livinded | it probably drops is into status 3 |
| 22:49.47 | Tama^2 | lcuk: for some reason it never finished shutting down |
| 22:49.50 | livinded | I'm assuming it has acpi support |
| 22:49.59 | Proteous | the IT uses software instead of hardware to regulate the charging, so when you plug it in it is running |
| 22:50.04 | livinded | dropping it to a lower runlevel wouldn't do much in preserving power |
| 22:50.22 | Tama^2 | does not have acpi :) |
| 22:51.23 | lcuk | tama, it never finishes shutting down does it - else it couldnt wake up and show you its charging |
| 22:52.10 | Tama^2 | as I said before off is off if the charger is unplugged |
| 22:52.42 | Tama^2 | if the charger is plugged in it does NOT turn off (until you unplug the charger that is) |
| 22:52.49 | Proteous | I have noticed that my battery lasted longer with the wifi connected when I had my old 802.11b access point, with my new G/N one it doesn't |
| 22:53.16 | Tama^2 | lcuk: no need to test it, just read the init files in initfs :) |
| 22:53.18 | lcuk | i think wifi to an adhoc dongle takes more power than to a base station |
| 22:53.26 | lcuk | good point tama |
| 22:54.02 | Proteous | there is also a 10mw/100mw output power setting which is usefull to know about |
| 22:54.12 | Proteous | they bury it deep in the network settings though |
| 22:54.25 | Proteous | at least on my 770 |
| 22:54.37 | livinded | they really hid the option to turn the onscreen keyboard on as well |
| 22:54.40 | lcuk | huh ? really, can you give me a pointer, i only use it in the same room |
| 22:54.46 | livinded | it took me a few hours before I actually figured out how to do it |
| 22:54.55 | lcuk | if you can dig the 770 version out and ill see if its avail for 810 |
| 22:57.12 | Proteous | connection manager -> tools -> conectivity settings -> connections -> pick a connection, click edit -> next, next next, click advanced button -> other tab |
| 22:57.27 | Proteous | wlan transmission power |
| 22:58.18 | Proteous | even though the setting is in the preferences for one connection, it applies to all wifi connections |
| 22:58.30 | Proteous | it pops up a dialog box to tell you if you change it |
| 22:58.50 | jku | Proteous, how is th 10/100mW setting useful? |
| 22:59.02 | Proteous | lowering your transmit power uses less battery |
| 22:59.06 | jku | it doesn't save any real amount of battery |
| 22:59.17 | Proteous | don't think so? |
| 22:59.20 | lcuk | if you could lock to 10ma the signal strength wouldnt be as strong but would conserve battery |

| 23:01.36 | Proteous | I never looked into it, or did any real testing |

| 23:08.28 | jku | sameo: 10 or 100 mW won't make a significant difference as far as WLAN power consumption goes |
| 23:09.26 | Proteous | every little bit helps! |
| 23:09.29 | lcuk | i know, but i dont want my NIT blaring out anyway. knowing the setting is based upon law i should be able to do the same with my router. since i am only using it inside why should i SHOUT at full power? |

| 23:17.07 | lcuk | they will come later, for now ive got a shell script to write or something such to pull a list of files together to build a quick c project |
| 23:17.32 | lcuk | or will autotools do that kind of crap for me without having to retype a list of included files |
| 23:23.00 | pupnik | lcuk: if you are making a maemo-specific package, then there is little reason to use autotools |
| 23:23.51 | lcuk | i know, but i keep adding c files to my projects at a frantic rate (ok, 4 or 5 a night) and its a pain to have to write out makefiles |
| 23:24.31 | lcuk | im trying out things and expanding on ideas and i wanna just make a new folder, drag a few files in add a few more and have a working app with minimal fuss |
| 23:25.18 | pupnik | You might like 'scons' then |
| 23:26.21 | lcuk | i just need something really quick and the script will do it, just find all *.c files, add them to make along with an app name and library list. |
| 23:27.10 | lcuk | ive already wrote the script to run make and send it over to nokia for testing (then it killalls itself when I ctrl c from my desktop) :) |
