| 00:01.20 | lcuk | lardman, this one will though: http://liqbase.net/liq.20081026_204523.gary.cam.png |
| 00:01.31 | lcuk | i want a proper library :P |
| 00:02.46 | lardman | barcode scanning :) |
| 00:03.04 | lardman | you want a barcode scanning library? |
| 00:03.15 | lcuk | could do with a proper on |
| 00:03.16 | lcuk | e |
| 00:03.27 | lardman | yes, I think that would be worth doing |
| 00:04.06 | lcuk | yeah, at present all i am doing is recognising that ive got white bars and all greyscale in between |
| 00:04.31 | lcuk | and then stretch blitting that block of pixels into a strip of 85 chars |
| 00:05.00 | lcuk | and doing some simplistic filtering to try and get things |
| 00:05.14 | *** join/#maemo dougt_ (n=dougt@corp-241.mountainview.mozilla.com) |
| 00:05.19 | lcuk | i have no idea if the codes are valid or anything |
| 00:05.32 | lcuk | hence library time - its not my forte |
| 00:05.51 | lardman | I'm planning on doing some more work on maemo-barcode asap |
| 00:06.05 | lardman | I see no reason not to produce some sort of backend library that other apps can use too |
| 00:06.19 | lcuk | yeah, well this is sitting waiting - ive made a barcode icon in liqbase camera, tap it and it engages any barcode |
| 00:06.26 | lardman | cool |
| 00:06.32 | lardman | and the dsp-jpeg stuff |
| 00:06.43 | lardman | you're filling up my free time far too quickly! |
| 00:07.03 | lcuk | heh seriously no rush on dsp, that is just wishlisty |
| 00:07.13 | lcuk | but i can see practical things for the barcode, as you have said yourself |
| 00:07.48 | lardman | you know the barcode stuff is pretty well contained in one file? |
| 00:08.02 | lardman | for 1D barcodes that is |
| 00:08.10 | lcuk | i never jumped in that far, and i know nothing about libraries |
| 00:08.33 | lcuk | yeah - how would we handle rotated barcodes |
| 00:08.46 | lardman | depends how far it's been rotated |
| 00:08.59 | lcuk | i mean proper full 360deg support |
| 00:09.00 | lardman | for 1D barcodes, they can rotate quite a long way and still be readable |
| 00:09.13 | lardman | hmm, not somehting I'm too interested in tbh |
| 00:09.13 | lcuk | i was toying with the idea of using it not as a barcode, but as a joystick |
| 00:09.34 | lcuk | recognise the cube and get its orientation and scale from that |
| 00:09.35 | lardman | That's another interesting idea, quick image correlation,e tc., |
| 00:09.39 | lcuk | and then position things |
| 00:09.54 | *** join/#maemo rsalveti (n=salveti@200.184.118.132) |
| 00:10.12 | lcuk | and btw, look at that image - thats taken at 320*240 - from your professional eye, is there enough resolution to grab a valid code from it |
| 00:10.18 | lcuk | even if we have to move slightly closer |
| 00:10.22 | GeneralAntilles | lardman, well, there are lots of mirrors. |
| 00:10.30 | GeneralAntilles | The Akamai network, for instance. :P |
| 00:10.49 | lcuk | mornin GeneralAntilles |
| 00:10.54 | lardman | probably want it a bit closer |
| 00:11.13 | lardman | GeneralAntilles: of the repos? |
| 00:11.15 | lcuk | ahhh then i lose focus |
| 00:11.25 | lardman | more light |
| 00:11.38 | lcuk | ok, ill work something out - i might grab the checksum side of the code and see if i can identify valid blocks |
| 00:11.56 | lcuk | yes! the semi flash idea - ill ensure a white block remains in the corner |
| 00:12.30 | lcuk | doh! that explains why i couldnt scan a small section of any barcode - the red LED was shining back and tinting the barcode - it scans for greyscale specificall |
| 00:13.04 | GeneralAntilles | GeneralAntilles, yes, there's a giant network of servers mirror repository.maemo.org |
| 00:13.27 | lardman | hmm, he's talking to himself.... |

| 00:20.02 | lcuk | it only remained (and I thought it was -dev) because he mentioned liqbase |
| 00:20.21 | lcuk | yeah gen, thats it to a tee |
| 00:21.14 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, actually the benq is running moblin aka maemo IIRC |

| 00:22.08 | GeneralAntilles | but what, in particular, are you responding to? |
| 00:22.11 | johnx | fair enough, I suppose |
| 00:22.41 | GeneralAntilles | I mean, ArchLinux aka Debian because both can run LXDE? |

| 00:58.09 | lcuk | which drawing? liqbase |
| 00:58.17 | lcuk | go into options and up the cpu... |
| 00:58.37 | lcuk | "performance" does exactly what it says |
| 01:00.48 | AStorm | mhm |
| 01:00.53 | AStorm | noted |
| 01:01.16 | AStorm | couldn't ondemand with toggle for performance preferrence work as well? |
| 01:01.36 | AStorm | (by default it prefers powersaving) |
| 01:02.14 | AStorm | btw, screen doesn't refresh on switch until some event happens |
| 01:02.50 | lcuk | on switch hmmm ahhh you mean when it blanks |
| 01:02.59 | lcuk | yeah its noted as a bug |
| 01:03.40 | lcuk | ondemand DOES go upto full speed - but my drawing routine is too fast and keeps the cpu under 40% when in use |
| 01:03.44 | lcuk | so the cpu clocks back down |
| 01:04.10 | lcuk | i could work round it and stay in ondemand by simply drawing the screen multiple times per frame |
| 01:04.14 | lcuk | but thats wasteful |
| 01:04.25 | lcuk | and performance is so much crisper in the rest of maemo as well ;) |
| 01:05.26 | lcuk | GeneralAntilles, whats wrong with that screenshot you pasted? |
| 01:05.31 | lcuk | its already in maemo |
| 01:07.33 | AStorm | lcuk, what abt conservative? |
| 01:07.50 | lcuk | powersave is just slower |
| 01:07.53 | AStorm | with and w/o powersaving bias :) |
| 01:07.56 | lcuk | its workable, but lower the resolution |
| 01:08.04 | AStorm | conservative != powersave |
| 01:08.16 | AStorm | conserv. iks slow ondemand |
| 01:08.21 | AStorm | *is |
| 01:08.22 | lcuk | ahhh, whats the diff - cos i noticed only 3 primary modes |
| 01:08.40 | AStorm | switches slower and step by step |
| 01:08.46 | lcuk | the 3 i put in were the main ones that had a definable difference |
| 01:08.56 | lcuk | cool |
| 01:09.23 | lcuk | its fairly simple to implement, i just didnt think i needed the others |
| 01:12.21 | AStorm | conservative has a number of thresholds to tuune |
| 01:12.30 | AStorm | separate down/up, for instance |
| 01:14.24 | lcuk | ill have a readup about it AStorm |
| 01:14.34 | AStorm | default 80/20 up/down |
| 01:14.55 | lcuk | heh, liqbase will probably still fall under it |

| 01:51.08 | l7 | are there any other tweaks one can apply to speed up browsing on the tablets? |

| 01:51.44 | johnx | there are a couple posts about it on ITT |

| 01:52.04 | lcuk | i would like to see a ground up implementation of a browser |
| 01:52.27 | johnx | that's kind of a lot of work I gather |
| 01:52.39 | lcuk | :) ive never been one to shy away |
| 01:52.57 | lcuk | start simple, work up from there |
| 01:53.08 | johnx | the problem is a simple browser isn't really usable |
| 01:53.19 | l7 | yeah, i shut everything down when trying to browse |

| 01:53.27 | lcuk | depends upon purpose - for html books its perfect |
| 01:53.30 | l7 | i have to say the mytube client really rocks though |
| 01:53.45 | l7 | it's fast and stable and doesn't freeze the machine while downloading stuff like gpodder or canola |
| 01:54.31 | johnx | but that's not a browser, it's an ebook reader like fbreader |
| 01:54.31 | lcuk | for jazzy css encrusted multifaceted workhorse i agree |
| 01:54.31 | l7 | i guess craigslist could be reasonably fast on the tablet |
| 01:54.50 | lcuk | the problem with the current browser isnt that its slow persay |
| 01:54.52 | l7 | handy for posting missed connections i guess |
| 01:54.54 | lcuk | its that it feels slow |
| 01:54.56 | johnx | lcuk, surf with dillo2 or links2 graphical mode for a bit and tell me how fun it is :) |
| 01:55.49 | johnx | well, the other problem is that it's slow... |

| 02:05.29 | AStorm | maybe 25 |
| 02:05.47 | AStorm | hmm, I'd stgill like conservative more |
| 02:05.56 | AStorm | but can't get a good setting |
| 02:06.11 | AStorm | conservative uses all the freqs |
| 02:07.00 | AStorm | the problem with it is that unlike ondemand, its sampling rate is too slow |
| 02:08.54 | AStorm | it has more tunables, which we can't use, as sampling of 0.5s is too slow |

| 06:11.09 | AStorm | but with 80% up_threshold |
| 06:11.20 | AStorm | not 50% with powersave bias |
| 06:11.29 | johnx | hijack a random file under /etc/rc2.d or make your own |
| 06:11.35 | AStorm | which means much less responsive and laggier |
| 06:11.41 | AStorm | mhm... |

| 06:12.57 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, bug? |
| 06:13.17 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, probably the result of a package they left out |
| 06:13.24 | johnx | I'll check in a sec |
| 06:13.26 | AStorm | johnx, two-liner :) |
| 06:13.31 | GeneralAntilles | Either way, have you filed a bug? |
| 06:13.47 | johnx | no, I have not, yet |
| 06:15.38 | GeneralAntilles | is cold. |
| 06:15.59 | johnx | everytime someone doesn't file a bug, you die a little inside? |
| 06:16.19 | GeneralAntilles | Nah, it's below freezing outside and I refuse to turn on the heater. |
| 06:16.36 | johnx | holy craps. It's 68F here |
| 06:16.36 | GeneralAntilles | But I will take away their right to complain until they do. :P |
| 06:16.53 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, I think it's the result of an architecture choice |
| 06:17.36 | GeneralAntilles | Fair enough, but it would be nice to at least have some sort of explanation |
| 06:17.46 | AStorm | how do I add the script to the runlevel? |
| 06:18.04 | AStorm | some command, or old-school ln -s? |
| 06:18.11 | johnx | ah, just do ln -s |
| 06:18.28 | johnx | there's a maemo services control panel plugin though if you want to do it the fancy GUI way |
| 06:18.28 | GeneralAntilles | and since there seems to be more than a few people wanting to add scripts to the startup, and thanks to the brittleness of Maemo's boot procedure, it's probably better to not have them messing around where things can break easily. |
| 06:19.00 | johnx | rc.local is just as likely to break things |
| 06:19.22 | johnx | in fact it's probably better to have it be a little scary instead of really accessible :) |
| 06:19.24 | qwerty12_N80O | AStorm, The original ondemamd setting is set by initfs and kernel so you can remount one rw amd recompile the other :p |
| 06:19.33 | qwerty12_N80O | hi everyone |
| 06:19.38 | AStorm | yeah right |
| 06:19.52 | AStorm | as if I have time for that |
| 06:20.00 | johnx | moreover, I think not having initscripts (the package including rc.local) is the *right* architectural choice if it's not needed, which it appears not to be |
| 06:20.12 | AStorm | my Gentoo stint is scheduled for later |
| 06:21.57 | johnx | ah, shove your changed in /mnt/initfs/linuxrc |
| 06:22.14 | johnx | that seems like the most "right: place if you're into that sort of thing |
| 06:23.23 | AStorm | well, Nokia shnould consider it to be default |
| 06:24.10 | AStorm | improves perfomance multiple-fold |
| 06:24.20 | johnx | well then talk to them, by all means :) |
| 06:24.28 | AStorm | not sure if how much battery life it costs |
| 06:24.36 | AStorm | none at idle at least |
| 06:24.41 | johnx | up_threshhold 80 is the generic cpufreq default, right? |
| 06:24.46 | AStorm | yes |
| 06:25.11 | johnx | they'd prpbably welcome suggestions then |
| 06:25.50 | AStorm | maybe :) |
| 06:26.25 | AStorm | according to my log, this setting neatly uses cpu when needed |
| 06:26.54 | GeneralAntilles | 50%? |
| 06:27.01 | johnx | anyways, I'm off into the real world. 'later |

| 10:09.25 | GeneralAntilles | I doubt it's a particularly easy thing to fix, personally. |
| 10:09.33 | RST38h | But you can't type with 1-2 second lag, really =( |
| 10:09.34 | GeneralAntilles | I've never seen skipping. |

| 10:10.26 | RST38h | General: try typing in Gnumeric |
| 10:10.28 | GeneralAntilles | It's the input method, certainly. |

| 10:33.52 | GeneralAntilles | We don't generally use namespaces for regular articles |
| 10:33.54 | gnuton | Hi GeneralAntilles ! |
| 10:34.18 | GeneralAntilles | http://wiki.maemo.org/Qt4_Hildon:_Packaging_a_Qt_application should move to "Packaging a Qt application" |
| 10:34.19 | GeneralAntilles | for example |
| 10:34.37 | GeneralAntilles | Or I can move the pages and fix the links if you prefer. |
| 10:35.00 | gnuton | GeneralAntilles: yes, you can do it for me. Thank you |
| 10:38.35 | GeneralAntilles | gnuton, done. Also: http://wiki.maemo.org/Category:Qt |
| 10:39.10 | EgS | hey gnuton! :) |
| 10:39.57 | EgS | gnuton: there is now a quassel stand alone app, that doesn't need a core to connect to. I thought you might be interessted |
| 10:42.23 | gnuton | EgS: That's great. where is the code? |
| 10:42.30 | gnuton | EgS: are you a Quassel Developer? |
| 10:43.05 | EgS | gnuton: it's in the git repository: git.quassel-irc.org/quassel.git (I think...) |
| 10:43.21 | EgS | gnuton: jeah we met at devdays in munich and I sent you an email recently |
| 10:44.02 | gnuton | Okay! Nice to see you again so! :D |
| 10:45.20 | gnuton | EgS: the real problem of quassel (and the most of Qt app in Hildon) is the adapt the UI to the small screen. |
| 10:46.56 | lardman | do keywords for a bug have to come from the list provided? |
| 10:47.20 | GeneralAntilles | Generally speaking, I'd say yes. |
| 10:47.28 | GeneralAntilles | But I don't know what's involved in adding new ones. |
| 10:47.31 | lardman | and if nothing matches, then leave blank? |
| 10:47.34 | GeneralAntilles | Sounds like a question for andre___. |
| 10:47.40 | lardman | andre___: ping |
| 10:47.50 | lardman | remembers getting told off last time he added a bug |
| 10:48.00 | woglinde | hi gnutoo |
| 10:48.12 | GeneralAntilles | Generally speaking, I don't think it's like tagging in the flickr sense |
| 10:48.21 | lardman | ah, I'll add it, I can always add keywords later on |
| 10:48.37 | GeneralAntilles | but more a specific set of keywords that may or may not be appropriate for any particular bug. |
| 10:49.09 | andre___ | reads the backlog |
| 10:49.23 | gnuton | GeneralAntilles: thank you for the support on the Wiki. |
| 10:49.41 | lardman | andre___: it's just a few up, about what I should add for keywords to a new bug |
| 10:49.45 | andre___ | lardman, want a new keyword, talk to me :) you can't set arbitrary values, that's what the status whiteboard is for |
| 10:49.47 | gnuton | GeneralAntilles: Let me know if you find other issue in my pages. |
| 10:49.57 | lardman | andre___: right, that's fine, thanks |
| 10:50.05 | andre___ | lardman, keyword proposals? :) |
| 10:50.09 | lardman | #3833 is in |

| 10:54.37 | woglinde | done |
| 10:54.47 | RST38h | that's a bug |
| 10:54.55 | GeneralAntilles | Not really |
| 10:54.57 | Jaffa | mgedmin: The HTTPS ones shouldn't (unless the system changes have changed the architecture) |
| 10:55.01 | GeneralAntilles | It's an artifact of the setup. |
| 10:55.10 | EgS | gnuton: yes we really need to redesign the dialogs for the lower screen resolution |
| 10:55.17 | mgedmin | is a bug |
| 10:55.24 | GeneralAntilles | The text of the ban now reads: "Anonymous edits over HTTP are not allowed. Log in (using your Garage account) or use HTTPS if you want to edit." |
| 10:55.24 | mgedmin | caused by the setup |

| 11:00.31 | johnx | prefers shell scripting. often a GUI for a throwaway app is a waste... |
| 11:01.19 | lardman | johnx: it's for those in-between ones, too complex to easily do in a shell-script, but can't be arsed to sit and write it in C |
| 11:02.01 | Jaffa | must try and do some Clutter experimentation this weekend. I read through the tutorial, confident it can now do the effect I want, but I can't decide whether to implement in C (well, no), Vala (would get distracted doing tooling), Java (would get distracted with my GObject Introspection -> Java OO wrapper tooling) or Python |
| 11:02.16 | johnx | oh, you can write anything in bash :P web servers, package management systems, boot managers... |

| 12:03.07 | baddu1 | lardman: when I got this big junk of memory to be mmapped, i haven't got it to work. if i don't specify where it goes , it tries to put it to daram -> not work. when i specify a memory for that , it says tbl is full -> not work |
| 12:03.10 | wazd | lardman: well, I've losttouch with admin of Metromap project so it's rather frozen( |
| 12:03.25 | *** join/#maemo mardi__ (n=mardi_@212.183.134.64) |
| 12:03.46 | lardman | wazd: ok, I've sent a "please can I join", will see if he comes back |
| 12:03.47 | baddu1 | lardman: i tried to put it in 0x580000 and size was about 0xb000 or sth |
| 12:04.05 | baddu1 | s/0xb000/0xb0000 |
| 12:04.21 | lardman | baddu1: you used a .cmd file and a #pragma in the code to place is in your memory section? |
| 12:04.38 | wazd | lardman: But I have UI mockups and stuff so if you want to code something it would be great |
| 12:04.51 | lardman | wazd: I ported the hildon changes to the latest upstream metromap, is pretty cool |
| 12:05.04 | baddu1 | lardman: yep, and it tries to put it there when i use this cmd file. everything seems to be correct. if i change the size to for example 0x10000, it works |
| 12:05.07 | lardman | wazd: yep for sure, I also want to add GPS functionality |
| 12:05.26 | baddu1 | lardman: it just seems not to accept bigger memory portions than about 0x40000 |
| 12:05.37 | lardman | baddu1: can I see the code & .cmd file please? |
| 12:05.56 | wazd | lardman: well, I think we can start a new project then |
| 12:06.13 | lardman | wazd: we should take over the exsiting one if it's now dormant |
| 12:06.21 | baddu1 | lardman: yes, i will give them to you after i get home from work :P |
| 12:06.33 | lardman | baddu1: cool |
| 12:06.56 | wazd | lardman: I haven't got Admin rights in the garrage so I can't do anything with it |
| 12:07.02 | RST38h | is happy wazd and lardman have found each other =) |
| 12:07.04 | lardman | baddu1: it should be possibel to map up to 16Mb of SDRAM afaik, though there's already lots of MEMORY sections mapped so you can't manage that in one section |
| 12:07.21 | wazd | RST38h: xD |
| 12:07.29 | baddu1 | lardman: but if it complains: "tbl is full", i have seen it before. do you know what that means? |
| 12:07.32 | RST38h | lardman: Don't tell me you are adding GPS functionality to metromap |
| 12:07.35 | lardman | X-Fade: what does one do about dormant projects? Not sure if it is yet, will see if I get a response from the admin |
| 12:07.52 | lardman | RST38h: yes, I thought it would be useful |

| 12:08.44 | lardman | baddu1: there aren't many TLBs free, so if you try to map a large region which is less than a whole large page it tries to use lots of little pages and lots of TLBs |
| 12:08.53 | lardman | X-Fade: ok, will do |
| 12:08.56 | wazd | Does anybody have Kontorri's IM contacts? I want to release Titan today :( |
| 12:09.16 | X-Fade | lardman: I'm just making that up, feel free to do it your way :) |
| 12:09.38 | lardman | baddu1: I don't have the numbers in front of me, but a large page is 0x100000, a small one is 64k bytes |
| 12:09.50 | baddu1 | lardman: ok, good to know. do you how big the pages are, so what could be a good ... ok you answered already :) |
| 12:09.50 | *** join/#maemo luck^ (n=Luciano@200.184.118.132) |

| 12:10.27 | lardman | see the avs_kernelcfg.cmd file, it maps some large MEMORY sections in a single TLB, or look at dmesg just after boot |
| 12:10.43 | wazd | Or maybe there is another Theme Jedi in here?) |
| 12:10.55 | baddu1 | lardman: so it should work if i map 0x100000 size of memory instead of 0xb0000 |
| 12:11.28 | lardman | yes; you should have seen an error in dmesg about lacking TLBs of course |

| 12:31.03 | GeneralAntilles | Fatal, well, the card is, but you need a MiniSD -> MicroSD adaptor. |
| 12:31.03 | johnx | Fatal, does it have a micro-sd to mini-sd adapter ? |

| 13:06.39 | aquatix | but generally, after about 1.5 to 2 years, li-ion starts to go south anyway |
| 13:06.40 | GeneralAntilles | NiCD really only has a memory when you're talking about more than one cell. |
| 13:07.00 | GeneralAntilles | melmoth, the argument for not leaving laptops plugged in all the time is heat |

| 13:07.09 | lardman | GeneralAntilles: Have you seen my response? It doesn't seem to have come though the list yet |
| 13:07.19 | johnx | I grew up in the li-ion generation I guess :/ |
| 13:07.24 | GeneralAntilles | but since the tablets put out way less heat than a laptop, there's really no issue leaving them plugged in. |
| 13:07.26 | aquatix | GeneralAntilles: i take my laptop's battery out when on AC |
| 13:07.33 | ||cw | it's not that much heat, the charger is intelligent |
| 13:07.41 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, well, so did I, but I did some pretty dead investigation into battery technology a few years back. ;) |
| 13:07.56 | GeneralAntilles | aquatix, li-ions degrade significantly faster when they're hot |
| 13:08.01 | aquatix | yeah |
| 13:08.08 | aquatix | so that's why i take it out |
| 13:08.08 | GeneralAntilles | Even more so when you toss in the heat of charging. |
| 13:08.15 | aquatix | when on about 40% charge |
| 13:08.19 | GeneralAntilles | lardman, yeah, I saw it. |
| 13:08.31 | GeneralAntilles | lardman, sounds like more incentive to tie git in a little more closely with Garage. |
| 13:08.38 | aquatix | optimum shelving charge of li-ion seems to be 40% |
| 13:09.04 | GeneralAntilles | Right |
| 13:09.04 | johnx | which explains why my second-hand notebook's battery died from 3 years living in an 80F server room... |

| 13:09.53 | johnx | aquatix, it's 7 years old now, but it died around 6 technically |
| 13:11.04 | aquatix | interestingly, i generally use a complete charge from a li-ion battery before recharging and that seems to be fine |
| 13:12.01 | johnx | well, without another point of reference it's hard to compare... |
| 13:12.27 | aquatix | yeah :/ |
| 13:12.41 | aquatix | charge early, charge often |
| 13:12.49 | aquatix | sounds like an ideal OSS battery ;) |
| 13:12.55 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe |
| 13:13.24 | GeneralAntilles | New battery tech would jump the mobile market years ahead. |
| 13:13.30 | johnx | heh |
| 13:13.37 | aquatix | maybe add that if kept in a refridgerator, it's advisable to keep them dry ;) |
| 13:13.50 | johnx | instead we're just getting devices with smaller chips/pcbs so that they can fit bigger batteries |
| 13:13.54 | aquatix | there are some interesting new fuel cells |
| 13:14.18 | johnx | when I first saw the n800 I almost laughed at how much of the internal space is battery |
| 13:14.49 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe |
| 13:15.38 | johnx | ...and my ideal personal server would be a beagle/overo hanging off of a 9cell laptop battery |
| 13:16.13 | GeneralAntilles | will need to write up a PSA about the package categories for developers. |
| 13:16.25 | GeneralAntilles | Overo's got 256MB RAM |
| 13:16.31 | JamieBennett | beagle server with 4 usb 1TB drives and a hub, mmmmm |
| 13:16.37 | GeneralAntilles | Too bad it's got no DSP nor PowerVR |

| 13:17.25 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, well, I was talking to Eduardo this morning about Carman and he wasn't clear on when to change the category (since communication may end up being deprecated) |
| 13:17.57 | GeneralAntilles | Hopefully the i18n for h-a-m will be done quickly, there'll likely be some delay. |

| 13:46.11 | lbt | hi GeneralAntilles... are you going to add something like 'People + Information' or 'Life Stuff' to the category list? |
| 13:46.53 | lbt | <grin> just saw the SGI degauss comment in the backlog |
| 13:47.53 | GeneralAntilles | lbt, well, it had been discussed a bit. |
| 13:48.07 | GeneralAntilles | I'd generally file "PIM stuff" into Office, myself. |
| 13:48.13 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa? |
| 13:48.23 | Jaffa | Agreed. |
| 13:48.27 | Jaffa | Tim's just asked the same question. |
| 13:48.28 | johnx | maybe s/office/productivity/ |
| 13:48.36 | Jaffa | No |
| 13:48.44 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, well, trying to keep consistency with upstream. |
| 13:48.44 | Jaffa | Or rather, I don't think so ;-) |
| 13:48.48 | johnx | just a thought |
| 13:48.59 | lbt | And if I'm not a drone? |
| 13:49.09 | GeneralAntilles | NO, JOHNX, YOU IDIOT!!!1 |
| 13:49.10 | Jaffa | Tim asked if that was still on the table: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Package_categories#Defined_top-level_categories_.26_application-specific_subcategories - it is, of course, as the labels haven't been decided. |
| 13:49.11 | lbt | say I'm a non-office worker? |
| 13:49.17 | johnx | lbt, you're a drone. Don't disillusion yourself. :D |
| 13:49.26 | lbt | not at home |
| 13:49.29 | Jaffa | lbt: "Office" doesn't mean you work in an office. It's office supplies etc. |
| 13:49.34 | lbt | well, SWMBO may not agree |
| 13:49.49 | lbt | Ah, so a calendar is office supplies |
| 13:49.54 | lbt | gotcha |
| 13:49.58 | lbt | sees mud |
| 13:50.10 | lbt | I guess IRC is office supplies to |
| 13:50.12 | lbt | too |
| 13:50.21 | Jaffa | Anyway, a) labels don't need to be decided yet - we're still defining the categories; b) I think "Productivity" as a label is even less useful than "Office" |
| 13:50.24 | Jaffa | lbt: eh? |
| 13:50.24 | johnx | I'll spew out a couple more random thoughts, feel free to shoot down: utilities/pim office/productivity/pim |
| 13:50.26 | lbt | frankly freedesktop are wrong :) |
| 13:50.53 | lbt | Jaffa: I'm suggesting that there is a category for humans |
| 13:50.58 | johnx | lbt, well I buy calendars at office depot...sooo |
| 13:51.05 | lbt | yeah, yeah :) |
| 13:51.06 | Jaffa | ^^^^ my point |
| 13:51.17 | lbt | I understand why - but it is wrong :) |
| 13:51.20 | Jaffa | lbt: You install people through an application manager? |

| 13:52.50 | lbt | I think 'Office' should be translated to "My Life" for a consumer device |
| 13:52.52 | johnx | now they could fit in other places too, and in fact it *barely matters since people will figure it out in like 10 minutes at most then remember* |
| 13:53.07 | lbt | johnx that's bad UI design |
| 13:53.10 | lbt | admit it |
| 13:53.21 | johnx | lbt, there is much worse UI design to fix, so let's work on that |

| 13:54.02 | Jaffa | lbt: "My Life"? That's a vague, 90s category with no usefulness. Why is a word processor "My Life"? |
| 13:54.10 | lbt | it isn't |
| 13:54.15 | Jaffa | glass: yes, so there's an RSS reader |
| 13:54.18 | lbt | I carefully explained that |
| 13:55.14 | lbt | it is actually "people I know about" |
| 13:55.14 | lbt | and communications |
| 13:55.14 | lbt | and planning |
| 13:55.14 | lbt | not 'content' - which is where word processing comes in |
| 13:55.14 | glass | word processor is a office app, as in ms office suite, implanted in peoples mind |
| 13:55.15 | RST38h | My life as a wordprocessor sounds depressing |
| 13:55.15 | Jaffa | lbt: So you're *not* suggesting that "Office" == "My Life for a consumer device"; you're advocating an *additional* "My Life" category which contains... photos of my son (he's my life), any application I need for anything I do for my life. |
| 13:55.22 | lbt | sort of |
| 13:55.23 | wazd | word processor is, to begin with, a word processor) |
| 13:55.27 | lbt | but not content |
| 13:55.35 | Jaffa | lbt: You can't categorise apps on whether they're 'communications' or 'content'. You define them based on a higher level taxonomy. |
| 13:55.37 | wazd | I can write anything wherever I want |
| 13:55.37 | RST38h | Jaffa: Just rename Office to Orifice and that will cover both word processors and PIMs |
| 13:55.43 | lbt | indeed |
| 13:55.46 | johnx | lbt, anyways, as it has been said, these aren't necessarily the user facing names |
| 13:55.50 | lbt | and the taxonomy is contact |
| 13:55.50 | Jaffa | If you're suggesting that split, it'd need a whole new set of categories - not just one additional one |
| 13:55.55 | lbt | contacts |
| 13:56.04 | RST38h | jaffa; Although I do unserstand that it may be overly general |
| 13:56.11 | Jaffa | :) |
| 13:56.13 | lbt | yes - the taxonomy isn't orthogonal as it is |
| 13:56.14 | wazd | It's not Microsoft (hope I'll not be banned for this word xD) Office :) |
| 13:56.36 | lbt | I am suggesting a category to do with "Me" |
| 13:56.46 | RST38h | Who said there has to be a complete taxonomy? |
| 13:56.51 | lbt | planning stuff: calendar |
| 13:57.13 | lbt | arranging stuff: comms (email, irc, voip, address book) |
| 13:57.18 | Jaffa | lbt: That's fine. Then you need to suggest a whole new set of categories, because "me" doesn't fit in with ones structured around type of application; rather than relationship of application's use with user. |
| 13:57.20 | RST38h | Why not use statistical division principle: as soon as there is >10% of apps in a category that can be split off into a new one, make a new category |
| 13:57.37 | johnx | RST38h, because that makes packaging a nightmare? |
| 13:57.55 | wazd | I think categories should be named by action they do |
| 13:58.04 | RST38h | johnx: It doesn't: I do not suggest tocreate new categories on daily basis |
| 13:58.06 | lbt | Jaffa: I agree - but #freedesktop has been dead so there is no interest |
| 13:58.17 | RST38h | wazd: As in "Work" and "Crash"? |
| 13:58.20 | wazd | Like "Planning", "Writing","Counting","Chating" and so on |
| 13:58.23 | lbt | I think this is important - hence the msgs |
| 13:58.23 | johnx | RST38h, so what happens to existing apps? repackaging? |
| 13:58.42 | lbt | well, we discussed tag based |
| 13:58.54 | RST38h | johnx: Well, once a year General bugs people about changing categories or it is done automatically in Extras |
| 13:58.57 | lbt | so that allows the 'traditional' structure to exist alongside |
| 13:58.58 | Jaffa | lbt: It wouldn't need to be anything to do with freedesktop. My suggestion was to base the categories on freedesktop. Your suggestion isn't. Add a new section to Task:Package_categories which is logical and self-consistent and it can be discussed. |
| 13:59.18 | RST38h | Jaffa: Freedesktop category list is somewhat muddy |
| 13:59.22 | lbt | I was going to challenge freedesktop to update their categories |
| 13:59.30 | GeneralAntilles | laughs maniacally. |
| 13:59.32 | RST38h | Jaffa: Unless there are compelling reasons to use it... |
| 13:59.33 | lbt | indeed |
| 13:59.44 | Jaffa | lbt: And the conclusion was it wasn't viable, because no-one'll code it. |

| 14:00.11 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Yes, we're talking about scale.. |
| 14:00.23 | Jaffa | RST38h: perhaps it is; it's compelling because it works on environments which have much greater exposure, many more applications and a whole lot of usability testing behind them. |
| 14:00.23 | lbt | I feel that for consumers/people/humans (ie not geeks) then a more 'me' centric area is good |

| 14:12.37 | Jaffa | lbt/johnx: So "Personal & Social" would encompass what example applications? |
| 14:12.37 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, but what about an itT Thank? |
| 14:12.42 | X-Fade | I really like to have a plan before the end of the month ;) |
| 14:12.47 | johnx | lbt, what about having it under utilities though? |
| 14:12.49 | lbt | see pastebin |
| 14:13.13 | lbt | they are 'bitty' things - clock |
| 14:13.18 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: A post + 2 thanks == 1 mailing list post. A post + 5 thanks ~= 2 mailing list posts? |
| 14:13.20 | lbt | 'teabag timer' |
| 14:13.37 | johnx | lbt, utilities you mean? |
| 14:13.40 | lbt | indeed |
| 14:13.44 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, I don't have a feeling for a good baseline for karma counts |
| 14:13.50 | lbt | that is the traditional stuff found in there |
| 14:13.52 | johnx | what about utilities/personal and utilities/social though? |
| 14:13.55 | GeneralAntilles | and as the weighting seems to be in flux anyway. . . . |
| 14:14.04 | johnx | a utility or tool for handling personal info |
| 14:14.05 | GeneralAntilles | sqrt(karma) * 4 works for me for now. |
| 14:14.06 | lbt | as I said - one of the most clicked menus |
| 14:14.11 | lbt | so should be top level |
| 14:14.19 | GeneralAntilles | I think we should come back to the discussion later and discuss every piece of karma as a whole |
| 14:14.34 | Jaffa | lbt: we're talking about package management primarily. And one menu with everything in isn't very useful. |
| 14:14.35 | GeneralAntilles | Because you really can't weight an individual piece without relating it to other pieces. |
| 14:14.36 | lbt | I feel for a device like the NIT |
| 14:14.45 | lbt | it isn't everything |
| 14:14.55 | *** join/#maemo aloisiojr (n=aloisio@200.184.118.132) |
| 14:15.00 | Jaffa | lbt: Your pastebin seems also out of date given it talks about lots of different categories AFAICT when now there's a suggestion of a "Personal & Social" single category. |
| 14:15.20 | johnx | Jaffa, well it's 5 minutes out of date |
| 14:15.25 | lbt | no, it talks about ideas :) |
| 14:15.39 | Jaffa | Indeed. So, now I'm trying to take it forward constructively. |
| 14:15.50 | lbt | it isn't a proposal - I wanted to float and discuss |
| 14:16.05 | lbt | the philosophy is clear to me |
| 14:16.12 | Jaffa | If a "Personal & Social" category doesn't overcomplicate the base on top of freedesktop, what'd go in it? I'm not *challenging* you, I'm trying to draw out something concrete. |
| 14:16.28 | Jaffa | Philosophy doesn't help package maintainers, i18n translaters or users too much ;-) |
| 14:16.41 | johnx | Jaffa, PIM, IM, email, |
| 14:16.49 | lbt | no, it helps determine decision rules though |
| 14:16.57 | lbt | yes, + calendar |
| 14:17.16 | lbt | the big 'personal and social' |
| 14:17.17 | Jaffa | johnx: So if IM & email - why not RSS reader or web browser? |
| 14:17.22 | GeneralAntilles | email is network. . . . |
| 14:17.27 | johnx | Jaffa, the theme is human interaction |
| 14:17.27 | lbt | I considered them |
| 14:17.36 | lbt | yes |
| 14:17.47 | Jaffa | So IRC client, as well. |
| 14:17.51 | johnx | right |
| 14:18.02 | johnx | falls under IM to me :) |
| 14:18.04 | lbt | which should share 'contacts' |
| 14:18.10 | GeneralAntilles | "Personal & Social" mostly seems to serve to overlap other categories |
| 14:18.13 | GeneralAntilles | Which is bad. |
| 14:18.13 | Jaffa | primarily uses his web browser for dealing with JIRA (people & work) or email (GMail). |
| 14:18.18 | lcuk | thinks this is why freedesktop never got a strict definition ;) |
| 14:18.32 | GeneralAntilles | The category delineations should be as clear-cut as possible. |
| 14:18.33 | Jaffa | uses his RSS reader to read stuff *people* have written & published. |
| 14:18.36 | lbt | Jaffa - they are online tools |
| 14:19.00 | lbt | I'd "allow" hyperlinks in personal and social |
| 14:19.01 | lcuk | what happens to packages that encapsulate multiple categroies? |
| 14:19.04 | Jaffa | So is an email client, an IRC client, a Facebook status updater |
| 14:19.06 | lbt | eg? |
| 14:19.08 | X-Fade | Jaffa: Yes, but so does your email client. |
| 14:19.11 | johnx | the key word in "stuff people have written" is "stuff" |
| 14:19.17 | Jaffa | lbt: You might, but that doesn't make sense |
| 14:19.32 | Jaffa | X-Fade: Indeed. This is why I'm yet to be convinced about "Personal & Social" not overlapping. |
| 14:19.36 | RST38h | johnx: "stuff" relates to other products of human life cycles as well |
| 14:19.41 | lbt | Jaffa: I know - hyperlinks don't live in the main menu |
| 14:19.49 | Jaffa | lbt: Or the Application Manager. |
| 14:19.53 | lbt | should thay? |
| 14:19.56 | Jaffa | So it's a non sequiter |
| 14:20.07 | lbt | sorry, confused now |
| 14:20.13 | RST38h | johnx: can we have "shit" category, really? |
| 14:20.29 | johnx | RST38h, only if there are more than 10% of apps that deal with shit |
| 14:20.29 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, that'd be "Other" |

| 14:20.36 | lbt | we have - the translation is 'utilities' |
| 14:21.19 | GeneralAntilles | lbt, the reality is that "My Life/Me/Personal & Social" overlaps rather uselessly with other categories. |
| 14:21.28 | *** join/#maemo MangoFusion (n=jamesu@host217-42-51-183.range217-42.btcentralplus.com) |
| 14:21.34 | GeneralAntilles | What is the goal here? To add some life to the sterility of Office? |
| 14:21.35 | Jaffa | lbt: This is a discussion in identifying the categorisation of packages in the Application Manager. There is a thought that these *may* also then lead into the top-level menu (so a user accesses the application at run time through the same category they found it in the App Manager); but that's a /different/ discussion. |
| 14:21.38 | RST38h | johnx: Ohm don't you worry... |
| 14:21.39 | lbt | GeneralAntilles: the reverse |
| 14:21.45 | RST38h | johnx: there is plenty |
| 14:21.45 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, I would say it pulls things together and lightens up other categories |
| 14:22.00 | RST38h | General: Actually, "other" != "shit" |
| 14:22.02 | lbt | Jaffa: no, I think they should be related |
| 14:22.05 | lbt | strongly |
| 14:22.18 | RST38h | General: because you may have lots of high quality specialized apps |
| 14:22.22 | johnx | lbt, well, that's not this discussion. let's stay focused |
| 14:22.29 | Jaffa | Indeed, and I largely agree. *HOwever*, the current focus is the packages. |
| 14:22.50 | lbt | I use the same logic for both so I don't mind |
| 14:23.03 | johnx | the key part of im and email is interacting with people, not that it happens to use a network to do it |
| 14:23.09 | lbt | johnx yes |
| 14:23.10 | X-Fade | Jaffa: did you see this? http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/2008/10/few-thoughs-on-openness.html |
| 14:23.14 | lbt | requirement, not solution |
| 14:23.23 | lbt | goal thinking |
| 14:23.34 | johnx | just like the key part in contacts is that it's info about people. if that info was on a network vs on local storage should that affect where you find it? |
| 14:23.45 | lcuk | thinks this whole discussion has taken place many many times: the trove software map from sourceforge is carefully considered and breaksup software quite nicely |
| 14:23.59 | Jaffa | X-Fade: no, I missed it. |
| 14:24.27 | X-Fade | Yeah, it is on the planet. But showed up somewhere in between. |
| 14:24.32 | Jaffa | Bah |
| 14:24.36 | RST38h | X-Fade: ironically, he is raising the same issue I raised here on few occassions |
| 14:24.56 | RST38h | X-Fade: "open sourced" does not mean "being worked on" =( |
| 14:25.43 | Jaffa | lbt: Sorry, you've changed your argument again I think. If it's goal seeking then the rest of the categories don't make sense in that philosophy. If it's just to differentiate some category of apps which a user wouldn't expect to find in one of the existing categories, that's a different thin. |
| 14:25.50 | Stskeeps | -thinks- he would be contributing to maemo if it was open from the start.. not sure though |
| 14:25.52 | Stskeeps | would it be as fun then? :P |
| 14:26.17 | lbt | lcuk: so, in the trove where do I look for 'contact manager'? It's a database right? It lives on my desktop? I use it for VOIP? To contact my Enterprise? Using a Network? |
| 14:26.17 | Stskeeps | than one where you don't have to go through loops and hoops and regulations and such |
| 14:26.44 | GeneralAntilles | https://garage.maemo.org/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=18 |
| 14:26.44 | Jaffa | lbt: But the Contact Manager is a) not an external package; b) an integral part of the system. |
| 14:26.53 | lbt | Jaffa: what is the consistent and orthogonal taxonomy being used? |
| 14:27.04 | lbt | there isn't one. |
| 14:27.08 | johnx | Jaffa, fine, what about gpe-contacts? |
| 14:28.00 | lbt | I am pointing out that the thinking one uses as a developer is not what you consider as a user |
| 14:28.10 | lcuk | lbtlbt, communication |
| 14:28.27 | lbt | lcuk: yes, I agree. |
| 14:29.00 | Jaffa | lcuk: there isn't a communication category in the current "new" category set |
| 14:29.00 | lbt | but the current suggestion appears to be 'Office' |
| 14:29.05 | Jaffa | johnx: a good suggestion. |
| 14:29.11 | Jaffa | lbt: No, that was for calendar. |
| 14:29.21 | lbt | Oh |
| 14:29.29 | Jaffa | So, finally we get to a problematic application. |
| 14:29.35 | lcuk | personally i would prefer a search box - i have a keyboard and the skills to type "contact" |
| 14:29.44 | lbt | I have an N800 |
| 14:29.47 | Jaffa | lcuk: App Manager's got one (although the UI sucks) |
| 14:30.00 | lcuk | really? i never found it heh |
| 14:30.03 | lcuk | its THAT Bad |
| 14:30.10 | Jaffa | johnx: I suspect gpe-contact should go in user/utilities (i.e. under "Accessories") |
| 14:30.19 | X-Fade | lcuk: Look at the bar on the bottom ;) |
| 14:30.52 | lbt | what application is of no utility? |
| 14:30.54 | johnx | Jaffa, and should calendars go under office? |
| 14:30.55 | lcuk | heh X-Fade im used to filters at the top of lists not buttons that pop open new windows ;) |
| 14:31.02 | lbt | ie they all go in 'utilities' |
| 14:31.04 | Jaffa | johnx: I think so. |
| 14:31.07 | lcuk | i tried typing to move the list down as well which didnt work |
| 14:31.18 | Jaffa | lbt: User sees "Accessories" then |
| 14:31.25 | X-Fade | lcuk: Well to quote Jaffa: "although the UI sucks" :) |
| 14:31.26 | lbt | same arg |
| 14:31.39 | johnx | I think splitting up PIM applications is a bad idea since people have clear ideas of what a PIM suite should include |
| 14:31.41 | lbt | all apps are accessories |
| 14:31.43 | lcuk | yeah i know |
| 14:31.45 | lbt | indeed |
| 14:31.57 | Jaffa | johnx: I don't think they do (a point qgil made a while ago). |
| 14:32.23 | lbt | which is why I said words that lead to "personal and social" |
| 14:32.28 | lbt | not 'PIM' |
| 14:32.45 | lbt | *IF* we had P&S |
| 14:32.51 | lbt | where would you look for calendar? |
| 14:32.53 | lbt | contacts? |
| 14:33.42 | lcuk | x-fade, no matter what categories things end up in, is there a way to find out (a) how many apps are in each category, and (b) how frequently apps within it are downloaded? a UI based around that would help people a lot |
| 14:34.26 | lardman | would be interesting if the h-a-m could display that metadata |
| 14:34.35 | X-Fade | lcuk: Well, all that data is available. It is just a matter of how to get that data in AM and how to display it. |
| 14:34.50 | lcuk | excellent! thats a real decent thing |
| 14:34.53 | X-Fade | Rating should also be cool. |
| 14:34.54 | lcuk | gets to work on a tagcloud |
| 14:35.08 | lcuk | x-fade, we have that from maemo.org/download |
| 14:35.20 | lcuk | aren't they linked? |
| 14:35.34 | X-Fade | lcuk: yes, but I want rating inside AM :) |
| 14:35.40 | Jaffa | lcuk: My ideal UI for the App Manager would show the number of apps in a category before you opened it. |

| 14:36.41 | lcuk | jaffa - yes and that same number of apps can be used to display as a cloud |
| 14:36.44 | Jaffa | lardman: Was thinking of using the same GtkTreeView as the package info itself, and use the 'Size' column. Then will have the same code between package & sub-category list as top-level category list. |
| 14:36.58 | Jaffa | lcuk: indeed. I can't be arsed to develop my own tag cloud any time soon :) |
| 14:36.59 | lardman | lbt: no real reason, just to have a feeling of what's going to present itself (for me anyway) |
| 14:37.08 | lcuk | heh jaffa |
| 14:37.23 | lardman | what's a tag cloud? |
| 14:37.32 | lcuk | needs to parse apt-cache's output... hmmm |
| 14:37.35 | lbt | anyway, got to pay attention now - back later. I was trying to be positive about this and make it better :) I think P&S or similar would be good for users... l8r |
| 14:37.39 | lardman | that thing on maemo.org/downloads -> different size depending on # of matches? |

| 14:40.53 | lardman | wazd: not really, but it's sort of interesting |

| 14:41.14 | Jaffa | If there's one app in a category, and I'm browsing around to install some new stuff, I'll go to the place with more in |
| 14:41.21 | wazd | Jaffa: true) And tag clouds too :) |
| 14:41.22 | lcuk | wazd, not for the categories so much, but for the rated and downloaded stats 100% |

| 14:42.37 | lcuk | its "popular" though |
| 14:42.51 | lardman | so is Labour |
| 14:42.56 | lardman | well was |
| 14:43.07 | lcuk | and just a different way to look at it - if theres 5 different views available for the same app manager what does it matter |
| 14:43.23 | lcuk | some people can choose clouds, others lists others trees |
| 14:43.31 | lardman | true, if it's something someone really wants then they can code it up and see if it's popular too |
| 14:43.34 | wazd | lcuk: I think straight list with abillity to sort by popularity/freshness/whatever will be the best |
| 14:43.43 | Jaffa | lcuk: As long as they get coded :) |

| 14:47.42 | RST38h | How about looking at it and using the same kind of GUI? |
| 14:47.56 | lardman | melmoth: cool, that's the same as the one on Amazon |

| 14:56.55 | johnx | ok, so what's the most important thing about a contacts app? that you might use it at your office? that it might be networked? or that it keeps people's names? |
| 14:57.10 | melmoth | lardman: haev you considered the older book (wich is available for free in hmtl, thus, readable in the tablet too ) http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/ |
| 14:57.47 | lcuk | im gonna vanish again, bbl guys |
| 14:58.05 | Jaffa | Contact app is the only one I've heard which compellingly doesn't fit into one of the other categories; but it's so "simple" from a user point of view, I can live with it in "user/utilities" - because a new category for "all contact apps" doesn't seem sensible ;-) |
| 14:58.41 | lardman | melmoth: too much gnome, not much content afaict |
| 14:58.41 | Jaffa | melmoth: the problem with learning something from an older book is that the concepts aren't the hard things, it's knowing what's available to you - and that changes every release: so newer == better. |
| 14:59.10 | lardman | then again, perhaps I should just find a decent set of docs on the web and use those |

| 14:59.44 | johnx | if a user is looking for a contacts app, where are they likely to look? What makes sense from someone who isn't thinking about this from our perspective? |
| 14:59.50 | lardman | Jaffa: yeah :( |
| 15:02.13 | johnx | And this collection of "apps to help you manage your own information and information about other people" is one of the most popular uses of the tablet |

| 15:15.27 | derf | Unless you're planning to retire soon, you want stocks to be cheap. |
| 15:17.18 | RST38h | derf: not planning to retire, not planning to buy more |

| 15:22.55 | derf | The value of the business. |
| 15:23.07 | RST38h | he means the long span value of the company |
| 15:23.26 | lardman | the intrinsic value of a share should be reflected in its price, but as you can't cash in your shares and take computers for them, that is meaningless |
| 15:23.42 | lardman | assuming it's a computer company we;re talking about |
| 15:23.51 | derf | lardman: Over the long term, value is reflected in price. |
| 15:23.57 | derf | Over the short term, it is often not. |
| 15:24.13 | RST38h | given how inflated markets are anyway, I am not sure about that :) |
| 15:24.16 | lardman | yes, but value is of no interest really, it's the change in the price of the shares that matters |

| 15:24.51 | derf | Not in the long term. |
| 15:25.13 | lardman | true, but again, that really doesn't matter; it;'s the change over time that matters |
| 15:25.40 | lardman | so if we talk about value of a company, it's the company's value (reflected in the change in share price) that is of interest |
| 15:26.00 | lardman | unless you do it for voting rights of course |
| 15:26.16 | derf | I'm trying to tell you, the company's value is very often _not_ acccurately reflected in the share price in the short term. |
| 15:26.28 | lardman | yes |
| 15:26.39 | derf | However, it will be in the long term. |
| 15:27.02 | lardman | it is the change in the value of the company (aka share price) that is important |
| 15:27.22 | derf | Value is not aka share price. |
| 15:27.33 | lardman | why not? |
| 15:27.47 | lardman | f(value,risk ) |
| 15:27.52 | derf | Because the company makes the same amount of money regardless of what its share price is. |

| 20:29.50 | lardman | as in floating point? |
| 20:30.06 | baddu | lardman: my source and destination values do not match then :P floats yeah, floating point variables |
| 20:30.28 | lardman | 32bit types get their top and bottom 16bits switched around |
| 20:30.38 | lardman | best to write 16bit types |
| 20:30.42 | lardman | and read them |
| 20:30.57 | baddu | lardman: so is the dsp big endian and arm little endian? |
| 20:31.01 | lardman | 0x12345678 -> 0x56781234 |
| 20:31.26 | lardman | dsp is bigendian for the two 16bit chunks in a 32bit type, but the 16bit chunks are littleendian |
| 20:31.29 | baddu | lardman: i suppose when the endiannes changes also words are 'shifted' |
| 20:31.39 | lardman | yes, bytes are shifted |
| 20:31.41 | baddu | lardman: ok |
| 20:31.43 | lardman | and a byte is 16bits |
| 20:31.55 | baddu | lardman: aaa, of course |
| 20:32.39 | lardman | but bytes are read/written the same on both platforms |
| 20:32.45 | Jaffa | Right, time to watch the Heroes I downloaded today |
| 20:32.47 | baddu | lardman: i agree that it's better to communicate with 16bit values, but i use floats in the dsp code (quite important in opengl) |
| 20:33.22 | baddu | lardman: so probably i try with some byteswap thing first |
| 20:33.30 | lardman | baddu: fair enough, might be worth copying the data to local memory (32bit copies are faster than 16bit) and doing some byte swapping en route |

| 23:39.49 | lcuk | would a basic like language work on this device - i mean real old style but working fast and well on the graphics screen |
| 23:40.01 | lardman | sibo, cool: http://scss.com.au/family/andrew/pdas/psion/ooprog.pdf |
| 23:40.18 | lardman | we have Python, that's pretty basic-like |
| 23:41.07 | lcuk | i suppose its not the language, but the ide that i mean |
| 23:42.33 | lardman | I'm not sure the IDE makes much difference really, unless it's something VB-like |
| 23:43.25 | lcuk | sure it does - the closest we have to a designable ide at the moment is numpty physics - stop the program, make changes to the design, rerun |
| 23:43.59 | lcuk | we don't have that on maemo - development is so disjointed |
| 23:44.32 | lcuk | i code on one machine, write debug statements compile code, execute and read the console rather than feeling the program |
| 23:45.18 | lardman | well Python on machine would work fine, and in fact there are already IDEs that do syntax highlighting iirc |
| 23:45.23 | lcuk | the more i talk about this, the more i know im gonna write it ;) |
| 23:45.30 | lardman | :) |
| 23:45.59 | lcuk | language is only one part - its the gui design, i keep eyeing up my menu key and wanting to press it to stop liqbase |
| 23:46.21 | lcuk | and view the tiletree side on and manipulate it and stuff :) |
| 23:46.39 | lcuk | another press takes me to the code window |
| 23:46.40 | lardman | a VB-like app would be cool |
| 23:46.52 | lcuk | and a third carries on running |
| 23:47.32 | lcuk | ok :) ill see how far i get ;) i already dev on device, so even if the gui designer had to recompile, i know what im up against |
| 23:47.49 | lcuk | but if i put in python bindings it will be simpler anyway |
| 23:48.06 | lcuk | kot really doesnt like python ;) |
| 23:48.09 | lardman | I still prefer dev'ing on a PC |
| 23:48.24 | lardman | though for something like Python, I'm considering going on device |
| 23:48.27 | lcuk | its the UI design aspect that appeals to me |
| 23:48.42 | lardman | hmm, definitely do that off-device! |
| 23:48.58 | lardman | though I suppose there's no reason for that |
| 23:49.02 | lcuk | im sick of sketching out what i want and then having to go code it - its a piece of piss to save as template and get the code for me |
