| 00:33.06 | wazd | I should do something |
| 00:33.23 | johnx | lcuk, take it out of the cardboard box? |
| 00:34.13 | lcuk | heh johnx, i meant my desktop, its not the power that this device has that is important. its the form factor and fact i can literally touch my code |
| 00:35.01 | wazd | I should do all the templates faster than Glaubert!) |
| 00:35.08 | johnx | lcuk, of course. I was just being snarky. :) but every omap3 device running linux that I know about has a touch screen |
| 00:35.35 | lcuk | i wanna go potty |
| 00:35.43 | lcuk | i think i just wet myself a little |
| 00:35.57 | lcuk | :D this is gonna be kickass |
| 00:36.43 | lcuk | how much do ti charge for dev boards and reference designs? |
| 00:37.14 | johnx | more than a beagleboard :) |
| 00:37.42 | wazd | ref-designs are super-expensive |
| 00:37.52 | lcuk | but a beagle is not a boxed unit |
| 00:37.54 | johnx | the beagle is pretty much TI's de-facto "community" dev board, and the design for it is open, IIRC |
| 00:37.57 | lcuk | i could not take that out |
| 00:38.09 | wazd | I wanted to buy an e-ink e-book ref to bouild my own |
| 00:38.11 | johnx | dev boards don't come in a box either :P |
| 00:38.22 | johnx | errr...s/box/case/ |
| 00:38.25 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, just wait for the RX-51 or get a Pandora |
| 00:38.28 | lcuk | the ti reference designs are cased |
| 00:38.38 | johnx | huh, interesting |
| 00:38.47 | wazd | It was about $5000 to order |
| 00:38.57 | lcuk | pandora form factor doesnt appeal for now, but that might change |
| 00:38.58 | johnx | there's a beagle case as well of course. it's even clear plastic so you can paint it any way you want :) |
| 00:39.44 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, I'm sure you can get your hand on a developer device. |
| 00:40.39 | lcuk | yeah, this x86 tablet isnt doing it for me in the same way an actual handheld does |

| 01:06.51 | lcuk | ahhh cool |
| 01:07.01 | lcuk | the class im trying to build at the moment is the cell class. it is the tile which every UI element sits upon. in the released liqbase this class had a feature limitation, its what im trying to fix at the moment. |
| 01:07.39 | lcuk | i keep collecting pieces of real life apps and programs and know the libliqbase backend now handles pretty much everything i need |
| 01:07.42 | lcuk | http://liqbase.net/liq.20090109_002624.lib.scr.png |
| 01:08.01 | wazd | You can open fullscreen it on your tablet and pretend you're having Fremantle wanabe : ))) |
| 01:08.42 | lcuk | i have full color ttf fonts, loadable images, a fully dynamic sketch class and the cell will bind them all together |
| 01:08.56 | wazd | Awesome |
| 01:09.04 | lcuk | wazd, liqbase and all its boxes can be styled and tasked to any purpose |
| 01:10.18 | wazd | the only thing I can task is my imagination( |
| 01:10.45 | lcuk | heh, my first task and confirmation that it has worked is to bring liqsketch to life in the new framework |
| 01:11.10 | lcuk | (with the improvements ive been rolling around head for the last 2 months) |
| 01:11.18 | GeneralAntilles | wazd, wouldn't it be funny if Nokia's UI turned out a lot like your mockups? :D |
| 01:11.22 | lcuk | liqreader is similar, but that will be its own application |
| 01:11.40 | GeneralAntilles | waits impatiently for May. |
| 01:11.48 | lcuk | GeneralAntilles, :) wouldnt it be even funnier if the maemo turned out a lot like wazds :) |

| 01:14.24 | wazd | Noone knows, but you're very proud of yourself) |
| 01:15.57 | wazd | I've already pointed to the new Palm OS feature - flick up the app to close :) |
| 01:16.14 | lcuk | you dont flick on the screen though |
| 01:16.15 | wazd | That was really funny to see :) |
| 01:16.26 | lcuk | oh yeah, sorry |
| 01:16.31 | lcuk | its the other thing you dont isnt it |
| 01:16.50 | lcuk | have you seen the full presentation? |
| 01:16.57 | wazd | yep |
| 01:17.23 | wazd | I like the concept of the cards, pretty intuitive |
| 01:17.24 | lcuk | certain things stood out to me, especially "when searching for contacts it checks local first, then your exchange server" |
| 01:17.45 | lcuk | well its not that new a concept though |
| 01:18.25 | lcuk | its just a ui ontop of it, its just widget rendering |
| 01:18.40 | johnx | lcuk, yeah, we'll get that with tracker |
| 01:18.40 | wazd | yep, but I think my "quick search" (1st in series) is even faster than that |
| 01:19.02 | johnx | we could just compile up deskbar now but it might be too heavy for the omap2 ... |
| 01:19.22 | wazd | you'll see all all the stuff about what you're typing |
| 01:19.29 | wazd | no matter what it is |
| 01:20.07 | wazd | The key is not to think "we should beat iPhone" when making hardware or software |
| 01:20.41 | johnx | yeah |
| 01:20.58 | wazd | In fact they haven't made so much new for those zillion years they were planning this device |

| 01:22.58 | johnx | using that touchscreen area that's not part of the LCD is a nice touch |

| 01:23.20 | lcuk | having to do a swipe to read a bit more |

| 02:50.46 | johnx | yup. that and the d-pad not working are related. i had the same problem in debian at first |
| 02:51.16 | johnx | it was related to a problem with HAL in debian, but it works fine for us in mer... |

| 03:23.32 | b-man | thinks about using his parents pc to fix the keyboard problem ;) |
| 03:23.35 | sisto | (with maemo) |
| 03:23.58 | TrueJournals | sisto: Not with maemo... |
| 03:24.42 | johnx | b-man, what you need to do is be able to test things as you go. for that you need a shell |
| 03:24.44 | sisto | TrueJournals: are there other similar devices out there? |
| 03:24.50 | sisto | i mean without maemo |
| 03:25.21 | johnx | sisto, in a pocketable form factor? not really |
| 03:25.29 | sisto | the only thing that is similar that i can think of is the htc g1 |
| 03:25.42 | johnx | is linux one of your requirements? |
| 03:25.47 | TrueJournals | But... that's a phone ;-) |
| 03:26.05 | sisto | johnx: not really.. linux compatibility yes |
| 03:26.08 | TrueJournals | Most people would say that the iPod Touch is similar to the tablets... but I don't know about that... |
| 03:26.11 | sisto | i use a linux desktop |
| 03:26.37 | b-man | johnx: could i use chroot or a local vnc for this? |
| 03:27.05 | sisto | i guess my only complaint to the ipod touch is that i would have to use itunes... also it lacks a real keyboard |
| 03:27.56 | johnx | b-man, it doesn't work like that...you need to be running ubuntu, not just messing with the files |
| 03:28.13 | sisto | i'm not sure about itunes though... do you always have to use it to install apps? |
| 03:28.44 | sisto | apple is kind of evil in that sense. they fear openness |
| 03:28.58 | johnx | sisto, yeah, you can't install anything apple doesn't approve of |
| 03:29.14 | b-man | is fusterated about his limited resources :( |
| 03:29.25 | johnx | sisto, (unless you jailbreak it of course, but that seems like a pain to keep up with) |
| 03:29.44 | TrueJournals | sisto: Agreed, I wouldn't call the iPod touch very similar to the tablets... just throwing it out there |
| 03:30.05 | johnx | b-man, get creative. :) your win98 machine will run linux just fine. download an iso, burn on your parents' machine, boot on yours |
| 03:30.53 | x29a | live that is |
| 03:31.05 | johnx | yes |
| 03:31.22 | b-man | ok, i'll try that, when i get the chance :) |
| 03:31.26 | sisto | the other thing i like is the fact that it probably fits in a pocket. |
| 03:31.42 | sisto | i was also thinking about an eee pc but that's not very pocketable |
| 03:32.48 | johnx | yup, in terms of an open system with a keyboard, it's pretty much the only game in town |
| 03:33.23 | sisto | right now i have an I-mate jam. i've had it for 4 years now, so i was thinking of retiring it |

| 03:36.14 | b-man | johnx: random question; does the Ubuntu iso come with the installer? (meaning it will do most of the dirty work for me?) :) |
| 03:36.41 | johnx | b-man, yeah, it's a live cd and installer. you can boot it off the cd, play around with it and install if you want |

| 04:26.35 | sisto | fireun: that's good. is that specific to the 770? |
| 04:26.54 | fireun | I couldnt say |
| 04:27.14 | fireun | since I own 2 770s, I havnt been able to justify a 800/810 |
| 04:27.19 | fireun | as much as I would like one. |
| 04:27.20 | johnx | sisto, yeah. the n8x0 is a lot more stable. partially from having more memory I'm sure |
| 04:27.43 | fireun | and for the money, I might as well just get an EEEPC |
| 04:28.35 | fireun | and run *real* linux (; |
| 04:29.11 | johnx | "real" linux on a 4" touchscreen is no fun :P |
| 04:29.24 | sisto | fireun: i like the eee 901 |
| 04:29.48 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, you have a link to Meiz's Mer gallery handy? |
| 04:30.18 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, one sec ... |
| 04:30.27 | fireun | "real" linux is something I can tweak and upgrade |
| 04:30.49 | fireun | nokia's releases are, more "canned" |
| 04:31.06 | johnx | to be fair, they got better with the n8x0 |
| 04:31.14 | johnx | and I'm just running ubuntu anyways :) |
| 04:31.14 | fireun | and I doubt my 770 will ever run a version of maemo past 2008HE |
| 04:31.41 | johnx | probably not, but that's starting to seem like a memory limitation :/ |
| 04:32.00 | fireun | I've got a compaq aero that still pisses me off every time I think about how microsoft screwed me out of ever using it past the year or two it used that OS |
| 04:32.19 | fireun | its got a nice screen. |

| 04:33.12 | sisto | johnx: can you watch youtube videos smoothly? |
| 04:33.20 | fireun | GeneralAntilles: but its not that old! |
| 04:33.29 | ShadowJK | hm, that seatbelt thing changes swappiness to 100, overcommit_memory to 2, overcommit_ratio to 40 |
| 04:33.30 | GeneralAntilles | fireun, but it is. |
| 04:33.39 | johnx | sisto, not in the browser. flash is so slow it's not really usable for video...but there is a really nice youtube viewer (2 actually) |
| 04:33.45 | GeneralAntilles | The OMAP1 was nearing its last days when the 770 came out. |
| 04:33.48 | fireun | ShadowJK: what does that mean? |

| 04:34.42 | ShadowJK | fireun, it will use swap more agressively, and it's more likely to kill programs before the tablet becomes so slow that it gets rebooted by the watchdog |
| 04:34.42 | johnx | it's like the earlier years of desktop PCs right now :) |
| 04:35.17 | fireun | ShadowJK: does that mean it will cause flash writes to increase in frequency? |
| 04:35.18 | johnx | the other thing of course is that all those libs from desktop linux are pretty memory hungry |
| 04:35.35 | GeneralAntilles | fireun, then you'll certainly understand why Nokia dropping support isn't the same thing as Ubuntu or others dropping support. |
| 04:35.36 | ShadowJK | fireun, yes |
| 04:35.38 | fireun | johnx: true. |
| 04:36.13 | ShadowJK | swap is on SD card anyway, so it wont brick the device if it wears out... |

| 04:46.55 | johnx | I feel the same about my zaurus 5500, but it's almost kinda supported |
| 04:47.03 | fireun | heh, but is it useful? |
| 04:47.09 | johnx | just need a new battery and another wlan card for it |
| 04:47.25 | johnx | well, it's not as useful as my newer zaurus and nowhere near an n800 |
| 04:47.28 | fireun | I wouldnt mind the aero sitting on my desktop and slideshowing pictures, or as an alarmclock or something |
| 04:47.34 | johnx | I used to use it for IM from the couch |
| 04:47.49 | x29a | i call a Compaq Aero 2160 my own! |
| 04:47.51 | fireun | yeah, wifi is a blessing. |
| 04:48.10 | johnx | not just that: wifi that doesn't drain the battery in an hour |
| 04:48.15 | x29a | i have a collie as well |
| 04:48.18 | fireun | I swear I can feel heat from my 770 when I'm streaming music tho |
| 04:48.24 | x29a | cmon, mention more kewl devices! |
| 04:48.31 | fireun | heh |
| 04:48.55 | fireun | I had a jornada I used as a glorified typewriter, but its screen got squished |
| 04:48.56 | johnx | heh...my c1000 really heats up when copying files with sftp over wlan |
| 04:49.06 | x29a | jornada 568! |
| 04:49.23 | x29a | bricked mine while doing some jtag |
| 04:49.23 | johnx | now the c1000 is a terribly useful CLI machine. still use it for just that |
| 04:49.48 | x29a | its got a harddrive, right? |
| 04:49.59 | johnx | that was the c3x00 |
| 04:50.01 | fireun | I think I had the jornada with the keyboard and CF slot |
| 04:50.18 | johnx | but the SD slot supports SDHC so it doesn't matter that much |
| 04:50.40 | x29a | fireun: jornada 680? |
| 04:50.44 | johnx | ooh! updates for the collie! |
| 04:50.57 | x29a | johnx: openzaurus -> angström |

| 04:52.34 | fireun | I was really sad when I found it in a box with a busted screen |
| 04:53.04 | fireun | it was throw in a bag portable if all I needed to do was write a paper |
| 04:53.14 | fireun | kept me from browsing the web while I did it too |

| 04:58.37 | johnx | boots his collie |
| 04:58.54 | sisto | does maemo use gnome or does it replace it? |
| 04:59.17 | sisto | i'm not quite sure what maemo is :) |
| 04:59.19 | johnx | sisto, it uses parts of gnome, like gtk, but it's a different desktop environment |
| 04:59.27 | sisto | ok |
| 04:59.33 | sisto | but it uses X11 right? |
| 04:59.53 | b-man | yes, xomap |
| 05:00.14 | johnx | and many gnome apps can be run without source code changes (or made to work nicely with minimal source code changes) |
| 05:01.06 | sisto | does it have virtual consoles like ubuntu has? the ones you can activate with Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc |
| 05:01.26 | ShadowJK | no |
| 05:01.29 | johnx | not enabled by default, but there's an x terminal of course |
| 05:01.41 | johnx | and you can get root access easily |
| 05:01.48 | sisto | but can I drop to a terminal and kill the X server? |
| 05:02.10 | sisto | and use it with the console only? |
| 05:02.22 | johnx | you can kill the x server, but the vt isn't enabled in Nokia's distro |
| 05:02.45 | johnx | so you'll be locked out until you reboot :) |
| 05:02.48 | x29a | sisto: you can login via ssh tho |
| 05:02.49 | sisto | so you would have to connect through ssh to use it |
| 05:02.57 | x29a | ... |
| 05:03.03 | sisto | :) |
| 05:03.04 | johnx | sisto, yes, or you could just use an xterm |
| 05:03.21 | johnx | or boot a different distro |
| 05:03.42 | johnx | or hack up Nokia's distro to enable a console framebuffer and run a getty |
| 05:04.20 | x29a | does 'hacking up' equal editing the initscripts? |
| 05:04.31 | johnx | and installing some kernel modules |
| 05:04.34 | johnx | or a new kernel |
| 05:04.51 | johnx | and compiling a getty :) |
| 05:05.00 | ShadowJK | ... and figuring out how to input all the symbols you need when you no longer have the maemo things there to help you :) |
| 05:05.44 | sisto | sounds challenging |
| 05:05.54 | johnx | it is, so just use the xterm :) |
| 05:06.16 | ShadowJK | fullscreen xterm (on maemo fullscreen means no window decorations) is easiest :) |
| 05:06.49 | sisto | yes i was just wondering... i would have no real use for it though |
| 05:06.56 | ShadowJK | haha |
| 05:07.01 | sisto | the only benefit would be having more free memory |
| 05:07.23 | johnx | there is that...but you lose a lot of functionality in the process |
| 05:08.44 | johnx | and if you're planning to run memory hungry apps from the command line you might be best suited by another distro, like angstrom or debian or ubuntu |
| 05:08.52 | b-man | johnx: do you think it's possible to compile a stock ubuntu kernel for the tablets? |
| 05:09.06 | johnx | b-man, compile: yes. boot: no |
| 05:09.21 | b-man | heh |
| 05:09.53 | johnx | why are you interested in that? |
| 05:10.05 | b-man | just curious... |
| 05:10.48 | johnx | the "stock" ubuntu kernel is just as heavily patched for x86 machines as the "stock" Nokia kernel is patched for our machines |
| 05:11.11 | johnx | a vanilla kernel is more possible, and of course people are working on a linux-omap kernel |
| 05:11.20 | johnx | but really, a kernel is a kernel :) |
| 05:12.10 | sisto | has anyone here successfully installed another distro on their tablet? |
| 05:12.25 | b-man | yes, me :D |
| 05:12.26 | johnx | yes |
| 05:12.43 | johnx | debian, ubuntu, android and angstrom |

| 05:13.13 | johnx | ubuntu and android are in active development. debian is pretty well usable, but suffers poor battery life for complicated reasons :) |
| 05:13.31 | sisto | did you use specific ports made for nokia? |
| 05:13.38 | johnx | yes :/ |
| 05:13.48 | johnx | Nokia's done some stuff in a non-standard way |

| 05:15.46 | `Mace | ShadowJK - yeah... fring and nimbuzz work well on the n95 |
| 05:16.02 | `Mace | it's just a shame ;) they had the oppurtunity to open up a huge base for skype |
| 05:16.13 | `Mace | and wound up producing a program that is worse than iskoot |
| 05:16.32 | johnx | I've gone with gizmo on the n800 anyways. if skype can't be bothered to improve sound quality or implement video |
| 05:16.44 | LinuxCode | yeh video! |

| 05:17.16 | LinuxCode | johnx, amsn could do it quite well |
| 05:17.24 | `Mace | i don't think gizmo has unlimited plans tho |
| 05:17.34 | LinuxCode | did ya give that a whirl john ? |
| 05:17.43 | `Mace | i know i was looking at it a while ago and they had no unlimited local plans |
| 05:17.46 | LinuxCode | it even turned the led red |
| 05:17.59 | LinuxCode | to indicate the cam in use |
| 05:18.03 | ShadowJK | amusingly regular VoIP is cheaper for me than skype |
| 05:18.15 | LinuxCode | ShadowJK, that is to be expected |
| 05:18.16 | `Mace | ShadowJK - skype is great for the house |
| 05:18.19 | LinuxCode | more competition |
| 05:18.21 | `Mace | and on my n95 it was good using fring |
| 05:18.25 | johnx | yeah, called my parents and sister on my sister's macbook. there was some echo on their side as the macbook's mic picked up my voice and helpfully sent it back with a 2 second delay |
| 05:18.31 | `Mace | but on my g1 it's trash ;) |
| 05:18.46 | `Mace | n800 was awesome to use it also.. too bad there's no cell modem in the n800 |

| 05:28.42 | johnx | I mean, I can see using something like that in a pinch, but not as a daily thing |
| 05:28.43 | `Mace | although i doubt it will work well without a qwerty |
| 05:29.01 | `Mace | johnx - yeah.. quickoffice was nice .. especially with the su8w |
| 05:29.16 | `Mace | i think i type faster on my su8w than a normal keyboard because the keys are so close :) |
| 05:29.19 | johnx | almost never uses his n800 while sitting |
| 05:29.49 | `Mace | heh.. i had to type a whole term paper hung over on my n95 in quickoffice with my su8w and got a b on it.. so i can't complain :) |

| 05:31.59 | fireun | I wouldnt mind paying for the comprehensive quickoffice app, a basic openoffice standards based editor should be free |
| 05:32.01 | LinuxCode | and only by the time we almost got therre it started to pick up |
| 05:32.22 | `Mace | fireun - quickoffice saves in ms office formats |
| 05:32.35 | `Mace | which i'm guessing is the reason it costs $50 |
| 05:32.39 | fireun | as an option or by default? |
| 05:32.47 | fireun | rediculous |
| 05:32.52 | `Mace | not sure to tell you the truth |
| 05:33.06 | `Mace | i always just saved it in office 07 format when i used it |

| 05:34.40 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, and it works, but the interface is ... schizophrenic |

| 05:35.12 | GeneralAntilles | I wish I could pick up a 5800 with contract for under $200 |
| 05:35.24 | fireun | which is why you can save to DWG (autocad) |

| 05:35.33 | LinuxCode | or gammu..or have you even tried ? |
| 05:35.40 | fireun | but its not the default, because you compromise detail |
| 05:35.44 | `Mace | well.. unless you own your company.. chances are you will NEED to use ms formats for docs |
| 05:35.54 | johnx | LinuxCode, never saw that app before. I honestly don't know, but I somewhat doubt it |

| 05:38.01 | `Mace | simply because in the end moving forward happens in baby steps and not in giant leaps |
| 05:38.01 | doc|home | two official 'change' postings today: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10133425-38.html and http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/08/defense.appointments/index.html?eref=rss_politics |
| 05:38.03 | fireun | mace: how can an educated move be a complete failure? innaction is the only failure mode |
| 05:38.20 | doc|home | fireun: not if the action is worse than inaction |
| 05:38.25 | LinuxCode | is this #politics ? |
| 05:38.33 | johnx | LinuxCode++ |
| 05:38.42 | LinuxCode | I dont live in the US |
| 05:38.42 | fireun | is this #life? |
| 05:38.46 | doc|home | LinuxCode: me neither |
| 05:38.49 | `Mace | haha |
| 05:38.50 | LinuxCode | haha |
| 05:38.54 | LinuxCode | that was a good one |
| 05:39.03 | fireun | "well geet outa mah country then" |
| 05:39.07 | x29a | there has been a study that goalies jump during 11m shooting alltough the probability tells them to stay in the middle, just because they feel urged to do something |
| 05:39.16 | `Mace | anyways... :) i would still hope that there is a broader quickoffice distribution |
| 05:39.30 | `Mace | for maemo.. android... symbian.. etc... quickoffice is a very good portable office suite |
| 05:39.43 | LinuxCode | fireun, fine...my country is better anyway |
| 05:39.46 | LinuxCode | lol |
| 05:40.10 | LinuxCode | ;-p |
| 05:40.12 | fireun | "even if it is, it stinks" |
| 05:40.18 | LinuxCode | LIES |
| 05:40.20 | `Mace | obama is asking for a stimulus package and tax breaks :) so the govt spends more money yet takes in less |
| 05:40.37 | fireun | cant be worried about a little debt |
| 05:40.40 | `Mace | can the fed govt declare bankruptsy ? |
| 05:40.45 | fireun | sure |
| 05:40.47 | fireun | why not? |
| 05:40.56 | `Mace | i don't know.. i just always wondered if they could |
| 05:40.57 | fireun | snot like china's gonna repo anything |
| 05:41.05 | `Mace | haha |
| 05:41.08 | LinuxCode | any country can go bankrupt |
| 05:41.15 | fireun | I know I've seen city govmnts declare bankruptcy |
| 05:41.17 | `Mace | i mean how would that work though? |
| 05:41.30 | LinuxCode | Mace, nothing works ... |
| 05:41.31 | fireun | just like any major corp |
| 05:41.33 | LinuxCode | thats the key |
| 05:41.35 | `Mace | i have also.. but i've never seen a fed govt do it |
| 05:41.54 | `Mace | who do they report it to? :) |
| 05:42.12 | `Mace | does the president walk into congress one day and ask them for a foreclosure sign for the white house? |
| 05:42.17 | LinuxCode | Mace, there isnt a bailiff for countries |
| 05:42.20 | LinuxCode | haha |
| 05:42.27 | LinuxCode | gets written off... |
| 05:42.28 | fireun | "restructuring" |
| 05:42.33 | LinuxCode | or that |
| 05:42.47 | `Mace | senators! we are going to have to sell these leather thrones you are all sitting in to break even |
| 05:42.51 | johnx | new management, gets controlled by the creditors, right? |
| 05:42.59 | `Mace | and we're going to have 1 senator for each state from now on |
| 05:43.22 | *** join/#maemo Paxicide (n=user@67.159.143.99) |
| 05:43.27 | `Mace | pictures the US Fed govt "cutting back" |
| 05:43.38 | fireun | eh, google for goverment |
| 05:43.53 | `Mace | i figure the first thing to go would be welfare and social security :) |
| 05:43.56 | `Mace | crosses his fingers |
| 05:44.18 | `Mace | they're old and poor anyways.. better to let them die off and end the burden on the rest of the country |
| 05:44.24 | LinuxCode | what is wrong with a social security system ? |
| 05:44.37 | LinuxCode | anyway...#politics |
| 05:44.44 | `Mace | ask me that again in about 5 years when all the baby boomers start to collect :) |
| 05:44.53 | GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, everything. |
| 05:45.00 | `Mace | and you're 105 and finally collecting "what you put in" |
| 05:45.02 | GeneralAntilles | It's not even remotely sustainable. |
| 05:45.05 | LinuxCode | works here |
| 05:45.07 | fireun | pay taxes 4 days out of the week, then send the taxes from your 5th day of work to a special project of your choise |
| 05:45.09 | `Mace | it sure isn't |
| 05:45.13 | doc|home | LinuxCode: at what tax rate? |
| 05:45.20 | LinuxCode | doc|home, not 7% |
| 05:45.21 | GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, "works" |
| 05:45.23 | `Mace | are you in canada? |
| 05:45.29 | `Mace | :) |
| 05:45.30 | LinuxCode | but then the money you gys pay for medical insurance |
| 05:45.37 | LinuxCode | is pathetic |
| 05:45.52 | doc|home | LinuxCode: think about it. If you didn't have to pay taxes don't you think you'd be better off with the savings? |
| 05:45.52 | `Mace | LinuxCode - which country are you in? |
| 05:45.54 | LinuxCode | private healthcare is an open pit where money falls into |
| 05:45.58 | LinuxCode | Mace UK |
| 05:46.02 | `Mace | oh |
| 05:46.05 | LinuxCode | adn I used to live In Germany |
| 05:46.07 | doc|home | LinuxCode: they have one of the best systems in the world. The NHS is a mess. |
| 05:46.21 | LinuxCode | doc|home, in Germany they privatised |
| 05:46.28 | doc|home | LinuxCode: completely? |
| 05:46.29 | LinuxCode | and the costs went up and up and up |
| 05:46.41 | LinuxCode | until the German gov said..thats it... |
| 05:46.48 | LinuxCode | taking the piss...and rained spending in |
| 05:47.03 | doc|home | LinuxCode: and when they said "that's it" what they did was reduce the incentives for competition to come in |
| 05:47.08 | LinuxCode | doc|home, there is no nhs in germany...they have Krankenkassen |
| 05:47.21 | LinuxCode | doc|home, they said to companies to reduce costs or die |
| 05:47.24 | doc|home | LinuxCode: if you want effective anything you need to be prepared to pay :/ |
| 05:47.33 | LinuxCode | doc|home, wrong |
| 05:47.42 | `Mace | haha |
| 05:47.47 | LinuxCode | private compnaies need to make more profit every year |
| 05:47.47 | doc|home | LinuxCode: eventually competition will come in and the price will go down |
| 05:47.53 | LinuxCode | yeh right |
| 05:47.55 | doc|home | LinuxCode: heaven forbid! |
| 05:47.58 | johnx | doc|home, be careful of the inverse though. just because you're paying more doesn't mean you're getting more |
| 05:48.01 | `Mace | LinuxCode - social security doesn't work here because our govt always uses it as a stop gap to other things in the budget |
| 05:48.02 | doc|home | LinuxCode: so do computer companies |
| 05:48.05 | LinuxCode | how much is your lecy ? |
| 05:48.06 | `Mace | and never replenishes the money |
| 05:48.06 | fireun | what is this #economics? |
| 05:48.11 | fireun | d-: |
| 05:48.21 | LinuxCode | and how much are you paying for petrol atm ? |
| 05:48.24 | doc|home | yet computer prices have dropped and dropped |
| 05:48.24 | `Mace | so in 5 years it will be a total gaggle |
| 05:48.31 | GeneralAntilles | Government is always less efficient than private companies. |
| 05:48.31 | LinuxCode | considering its 42 usd per barrel |
| 05:48.38 | `Mace | LinuxCode - ~$2/gallon at the pump |
| 05:48.39 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, true |
| 05:48.40 | doc|home | I don't drive so have no idea |
| 05:48.49 | LinuxCode | but they have better bargaining power |
| 05:48.55 | doc|home | LinuxCode: but how much of the fuel price is taxes? |
| 05:48.58 | GeneralAntilles | $1.54 last time I filled up. |
| 05:49.10 | fireun | GeneralAntilles: private companies have their shareholders needs above those of its clients |
| 05:49.11 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, then why don't we have privately run fire departments? |
| 05:49.11 | LinuxCode | doc|home, and how much pays school fees ? |
| 05:49.13 | `Mace | 1.54? |
| 05:49.18 | `Mace | it's still $2 here in chicago :) |
| 05:49.20 | LinuxCode | if I was in the US I wouldnt have a degree now |
| 05:49.21 | fireun | GeneralAntilles: I'm not down with that in a goverment |
| 05:49.22 | `Mace | damn i need to move |
| 05:49.33 | LinuxCode | or if I did...I would have 40k in USD debt |
| 05:49.34 | fireun | even if WE are supposed to be the share holders, that rarely is the case |
| 05:49.36 | LinuxCode | min |
| 05:49.48 | doc|home | LinuxCode: in most countries with public education there's no competition in schooling so you end up with bad schools and high prices (to the taxpayer) |
| 05:50.04 | GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, scholarships are abundant if you're even a marginally good student. |
| 05:50.07 | LinuxCode | doc|home, are you the son of David Cameron ? |
| 05:50.12 | `Mace | doc|home - i refuse to send my child to public education |
| 05:50.14 | doc|home | LinuxCode: no, I read stuff |
| 05:50.17 | LinuxCode | lol |
| 05:50.19 | `Mace | :) he is going to a school i have to pay for |
| 05:50.20 | doc|home | `Mace: good choice |
| 05:50.24 | `Mace | i know it is! |
| 05:50.30 | `Mace | the public school system is a joke |
| 05:50.31 | LinuxCode | doc|home, I can tell you dont pay your own bills |
| 05:50.37 | doc|home | LinuxCode: I do, and I have no debt |
| 05:50.37 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, 99% of the time. But garbage collection is private around here. :P |
| 05:50.42 | `Mace | like it's my fault that poor people need to know how to read too |
| 05:50.46 | LinuxCode | nor do I |
| 05:50.48 | `Mace | why ? to make pamplets for their crack sales |
| 05:50.49 | `Mace | ? |
| 05:50.51 | LinuxCode | well student loan |
| 05:50.51 | doc|home | LinuxCode: I haven't had anyone pay my bills in four years |
| 05:50.52 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, will you die if your garbage is not collected? |
| 05:50.57 | LinuxCode | but technically I could pay that |
| 05:51.00 | doc|home | LinuxCode: and even then that was because I was in uni |
| 05:51.03 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, besides, fire and police departments aren't there to save your stuff. |
| 05:51.08 | fireun | ok, this is too distracting, and I have homework reading to do. |
| 05:51.22 | fireun | is back in school for a degree |
| 05:51.30 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, at a certain point, yes. :D |
| 05:51.33 | LinuxCode | Mace, you cant compare the US to Europe |
| 05:51.34 | `Mace | i work hard to make sure my child can go to a good school.. why should the schools be bogged down simply because everybody must burden the cost of sending poor children to school also? |
| 05:51.41 | fireun | there arent jobs for smart people without degrees |
| 05:51.46 | LinuxCode | US has a much bigger drug, gun, crime problem imo |
| 05:52.02 | `Mace | LinuxCode - our country was founded on revolution ;) |
| 05:52.09 | doc|home | `Mace: what's more, you're paying twice for education. Once for your child's education, again via taxes which are going to education for others. |
| 05:52.09 | `Mace | crime is our way of life haha |
| 05:52.11 | LinuxCode | yeah from us.... good riddance |
| 05:52.18 | LinuxCode | lol |
| 05:52.31 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, anyway, point being, sometimes a little inefficiency is worth it to have things there at a subsidized cost when you need them. remind me to tell you about my December at some point. :) |
| 05:52.33 | `Mace | doc|home - yup.. it is a HORRIBLE system |
| 05:52.37 | johnx | off into the real world for now |
| 05:52.39 | fireun | in capitalism, apathy pays |
| 05:52.42 | `Mace | not to mention the fact that the teachers are the worst in the world |
| 05:52.51 | GeneralAntilles | johnx, sometimes, but some people think that's always the right answer. |
| 05:52.58 | doc|home | LinuxCode: the US has a drug problem only because drugs are illegal. Make them legal and you reduce the incentive for criminals to be involved. Anyone can do the business. |
| 05:53.03 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, people abusing the system are the problem |
| 05:53.09 | doc|home | and I say that as a person who hates drugs |
| 05:53.13 | `Mace | i had about 40 or so teachers while i was attending school.. and i think there were only 2 of them that no shit.. actually cared about their job and what they were doing |
| 05:53.16 | LinuxCode | doc|home, that applies to the UK too |
| 05:53.19 | LinuxCode | make dope legal |
| 05:53.21 | GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, yeah, well, wave your magic wand and make them stop. |
| 05:53.23 | johnx | GeneralAntilles, of course. there is no black and white. |
| 05:53.23 | LinuxCode | tax it... |
| 05:53.28 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, hahaha |
| 05:53.28 | doc|home | LinuxCode: no, don't tax it. |
| 05:53.30 | LinuxCode | rofl |
| 05:53.41 | LinuxCode | waves his magic wand and nothing happens |
| 05:53.43 | LinuxCode | ;-[ |
| 05:53.55 | `Mace | we had liberal arts major teachers .. trying to teach advanced algebra |
| 05:53.56 | doc|home | LinuxCode: when the government taxes stuff they have more money to do silly things like bail out banks |
| 05:54.06 | doc|home | or spend on arms |
| 05:54.08 | `Mace | they were HORRIBLE |
| 05:54.21 | `Mace | like their student loan required them to be public teachers for 2 years or something |
| 05:54.27 | LinuxCode | doc|home, I like the idea of having a few more new shiny aircraft carriers |
| 05:54.30 | `Mace | before they could go get a real job for the private schools |
| 05:54.35 | `Mace | and actually care about teaching |
| 05:54.37 | doc|home | LinuxCode: why? who's going to invade the UK? |
| 05:54.38 | *** join/#maemo Grackle (n=Alex@227-230.suscom-maine.net) |
| 05:54.44 | LinuxCode | doc|home, the US |
| 05:54.46 | LinuxCode | lol |
| 05:54.48 | doc|home | oh come off it |
| 05:54.49 | LinuxCode | j/k |
| 05:54.56 | doc|home | they can't even control the lands they've already invaded |
| 05:55.18 | doc|home | hell, they can't even control the 5 mile patch of land between the airport and the green zone |
| 05:55.40 | `Mace | doc|home - i don't know about that |
| 05:55.51 | `Mace | more people die in LA in a day than have died in 6 months in iraq |
| 05:55.53 | LinuxCode | well actually they dont anymore anyway |
| 05:55.57 | doc|home | `Mace: die how? |
| 05:55.58 | LinuxCode | Iraq controls it now |
| 05:56.14 | `Mace | oh random acts of violence i suppose for the most part |
| 05:56.14 | doc|home | LinuxCode: meh, a change in flag means little |
| 05:56.18 | LinuxCode | Mace, did you get that from Fox news ? |
| 05:56.18 | `Mace | domestics |
| 05:56.24 | LinuxCode | lol |
| 05:56.30 | `Mace | :) no.. i just took a wild guess |
| 05:56.33 | `Mace | i was in iraq twice |
| 05:56.33 | LinuxCode | haha |
| 05:56.37 | `Mace | i think the south side of chicago is worse |
| 05:56.40 | doc|home | `Mace: that sucks and all, but it's not a direct result of your taxes :/ |
| 05:57.02 | `Mace | i mean.. rhamadi was pretty fucked up |
| 05:57.15 | `Mace | all rubble and ww2 looking while we were patrolling |
| 05:57.15 | LinuxCode | Mace, US forces ? |
| 05:57.21 | `Mace | was in the USMC |
| 05:57.28 | `Mace | got out in july of 07 |
| 05:57.32 | LinuxCode | Mace, and guess who made that rubble |
| 05:57.34 | `Mace | finshed my 4 |
| 05:57.37 | `Mace | we did |
| 05:57.40 | LinuxCode | ;-p |
| 05:57.49 | `Mace | we were blowing shit up left and right.. BUT... they did their fair share of fucking their own city up too |
| 05:58.01 | LinuxCode | the problem is with US forces,... that you guys dont train on Nation Building |
| 05:58.09 | `Mace | we sure don't |
| 05:58.16 | GeneralAntilles | Ugh, nation building. |
| 05:58.17 | `Mace | especially USMC |
| 05:58.23 | `Mace | we just go in and blow shit up and kill everybody and leave |
| 05:58.26 | GeneralAntilles | isn't sure why it's any of our business to be "building" nations. |
| 05:58.27 | doc|home | they shouldn't be invading nations to have to build them in the first place :/ |
| 05:58.28 | `Mace | and let the army handle the rest haha |
| 05:58.41 | LinuxCode | GeneralAntilles, democracies buy goods |
| 05:58.43 | `Mace | doc|home - we are just trying to get a base in iraq ;) |
| 05:58.49 | LinuxCode | drives economies |
| 05:58.50 | `Mace | or two |
| 05:58.51 | `Mace | haha |
| 05:58.51 | doc|home | `Mace: oh I know :( |
| 05:59.01 | GeneralAntilles | LinuxCode, it's their own business to sort out how they want their country to be run, not ours. |
| 05:59.04 | `Mace | plus cheaper oil from our newly established puppet govt |
| 05:59.04 | LinuxCode | I can assure you in Zimbabwe nobody is buying anything but food atm |
| 05:59.09 | doc|home | LinuxCode: no, democracies lead to mob rule :( |
| 05:59.12 | `Mace | whom we will start selling weapons to in about 4 years |
| 05:59.22 | LinuxCode | doc|home, lol |
| 05:59.22 | doc|home | and no, I'm not advocating dictatorship :) |
| 05:59.29 | `Mace | doc|home - i would |
| 05:59.32 | GeneralAntilles | It's amazing how every loves to ignore the warnings against entangling foreign involvement. |
| 05:59.41 | LinuxCode | yeh..make me dictator of Britain |
| 05:59.42 | doc|home | LinuxCode: it's true though :/ look at obama's change, it's going to bankrupt the country |
| 05:59.47 | `Mace | history has shown the greatest nations to ever exist were those ruled by dictatorship that cared for its people |
| 05:59.50 | doc|home | I'd much rather next to no government |
| 05:59.54 | LinuxCode | first thing I do is restrict doc|home to 3 hours of inet a day |
| 05:59.59 | doc|home | `Mace: such things don't exist |
| 06:00.06 | `Mace | sure they do |
| 06:00.09 | `Mace | look at arabia :) |
| 06:00.11 | doc|home | LinuxCode: who says you get to be dictator? |
| 06:00.17 | doc|home | `Mace: saudi arabia? bwahahaha |
| 06:00.20 | LinuxCode | doc|home, I can hope for it ? |
| 06:00.21 | `Mace | saudis are living large off 3rd world slaves :) |
| 06:00.25 | LinuxCode | Id ban windows |
| 06:00.27 | LinuxCode | hahaha |
| 06:00.29 | `Mace | saudis don't work |
| 06:00.29 | doc|home | LinuxCode: and I can shoot you in the face, Who wins? :) |
| 06:00.46 | doc|home | `Mace: right, which is why they'll be in trouble once the oil runs out |
| 06:00.48 | LinuxCode | doc|home, you are def in the US |
| 06:00.52 | doc|home | LinuxCode: nope :) |
| 06:01.02 | `Mace | doc|home - nope. they'll just use the american debt they bought |
| 06:01.10 | LinuxCode | are you going to shoot me with an airgun then ? |
| 06:01.13 | `Mace | 1/3 of the american debt is owned by the saudis :) |
| 06:01.28 | `Mace | i think china has a huge stake in the US debt also |
| 06:01.29 | doc|home | `Mace: heh, will probably be worthless by then :) |
| 06:01.30 | LinuxCode | Mace, arab countries are pretty rich |
| 06:01.37 | `Mace | doc|home - true :-\ |
| 06:01.38 | doc|home | `Mace: china, japan first iirc |
| 06:01.40 | LinuxCode | very true |
| 06:01.50 | doc|home | brb |
| 06:01.54 | LinuxCode | Mace, they had to write off big losses though |
| 06:01.58 | LinuxCode | ;-p |
| 06:02.01 | `Mace | haha |
| 06:02.17 | LinuxCode | no wonder they dont like democracies |
| 06:02.24 | `Mace | BUT YEAH.... let's hope that skype turns lite into an actual voip program! |
| 06:02.28 | `Mace | grins |
| 06:02.30 | LinuxCode | we run companies against walls and they lose money |
| 06:02.34 | LinuxCode | yeh |
| 06:02.39 | LinuxCode | I want video! |
| 06:02.45 | `Mace | blah screw video |
| 06:02.46 | `Mace | :) |
| 06:02.49 | LinuxCode | NO! |
| 06:03.09 | `Mace | i would rather not video chat with most people i call on the phone anyways |
| 06:03.35 | `Mace | phone conversations to friends and family should last all of but 5 minutes unless it's over something seriously important |
| 06:03.43 | `Mace | hello.. ok... all right.. ok then.. bye |

Police raced to the popular surfing beach of Croyde where the carcass of an animal the size of a calf with canine teeth was spotted by a member of the public. |

| 09:28.39 | soul9 | maemo* |
| 09:28.43 | aquatix | yep |
| 09:29.06 | Jaffa | soul9: "port" usually implies taking the source, making (some) changes and recompiling for a different target. We have no source for Skype. |
| 09:29.19 | soul9 | yeah |
| 09:29.30 | soul9 | well yeah, but skype is in a repository |
| 09:29.34 | aquatix | if it has the same hardware and software stack, you can `port' it ;) |
| 09:29.39 | Jaffa | However, it should be possible to take Skype and run it on any other ARM/Linux system, with Gtk+, X and whatever Hildon libraries it depends on |
| 09:29.47 | soul9 | yeah |
| 09:29.49 | soul9 | ok |
| 09:29.54 | Jaffa | How much effort it'd be, I've no idea. And you're breaking the licensing |
| 09:30.22 | soul9 | so basically, theoretically it would be possible to run skype on the freerunner, or at least it would be worth it to try.. |

| 09:43.57 | wazd | Jaffa: well, the best way is to make site W3C compatible and then fix it for IE6/7 |
| 09:44.20 | Jaffa | wzad: Yes, I know. However, this is a call for someone to step up and *do* that ;-) |

| 09:59.29 | RST38h | wazd: http://fms.komkon.org/MaemoMain.html (please note that it has all the pages mocked up at in one HTML) |
| 10:01.14 | wazd | well, scalable layout is much more advanced than static one |
| 10:02.09 | RST38h | wazd: that was the idea |
| 10:02.22 | wazd | In fact "tablet sized" layout is the first mistake of Glaubert's design |
| 10:02.25 | RST38h | wazd: als, the idea was to make the best layout with respect to data we want to present |
| 10:02.55 | RST38h | wazd: for example, if we just have 2-3 announcements and 20 dev documents, it makes more sense to give more layout space to dev documents |
| 10:02.58 | wazd | It will look silly on FULL-HD screen |
| 10:03.31 | Jaffa | wazd: Unfortunately, the design chosen is being implemented at a fixed with |

| 10:04.06 | wazd | Jaffa: yep, and that's my fault :( |
| 10:04.11 | RST38h | wazd: I have been present at the original IRC meeting that led to the design choice and it *alread* did not matter then |
| 10:04.18 | RST38h | wazd: So do not worry too much |
| 10:04.46 | Jaffa | RST38h: It's easier to sell architecture designs if it's accompanied by a "pretty" implementation. A fact of life, unfortunately. |

| 10:06.19 | Jaffa | wazd: I don't recall. It's not a decision I was arguing in favour of |
| 10:06.20 | X-Fade | I still think we need a min-width of 780, not a max width.. |
| 10:06.38 | wazd | X-Fade: true |
| 10:06.39 | RST38h | You really do not need any fixed width. It has to scale. |
| 10:06.50 | RST38h | But as I said, it did not matter. |
| 10:07.14 | Jaffa | X-Fade: the unmaximised size of the browser window should be the smallest width at which it looks good, IMHO |
| 10:07.15 | X-Fade | RST38h: Well a sane minimum is required. As you just can't scale down too much.. |
| 10:07.23 | RST38h | X-Fade: 320. |

| 10:09.39 | RST38h | wazd: You probably know the problem with columns? ;) |
| 10:10.12 | wazd | RST38h: Well, what exactly?) |
| 10:10.13 | RST38h | wazd: If any of your column contain much less data than the rest, you effectively waste space in those columns. Lots of space. |
| 10:10.56 | RST38h | wazd: So, if we are talking about a page that will be viewed on a tablet by significant number of people, you do not want columns (in fact, I would not want columns at the desktop too) |
| 10:10.58 | wazd | RST38h: well, true but today it's more positive factor |
| 10:11.22 | RST38h | wazd: Yes, you can place ads there :) |
| 10:11.39 | wazd | RST38h: today free space is not "wasted" space, the race of "bits of info per pixel" is over :) |
| 10:11.53 | RST38h | wazd: But, to prove my point, open www.slashdot.org and see how ugly and ineffective column design is |
| 10:12.16 | RST38h | wazd: reminder: you have got people with 4" 800x480 screens. |
| 10:12.18 | wazd | RST38h: look over some modern sites out there, they have lots of whitespace |
| 10:12.52 | RST38h | wazd: and that often (but not always of course) is wrong |
| 10:13.05 | wazd | RST38h: that's why I'd prefer to use swapping coloumns. Thats dinamic-dinamic layout :) |
| 10:13.11 | RST38h | wazd: Ask any newspaper worker about column padding |
| 10:13.31 | RST38h | wazd: How does it help? They are still columns, no? |

| 10:14.50 | wazd | Why books have white fields on the sides?) It's so much wasted space |
| 10:15.12 | wazd | Whitespace helps eyes to catch the information it needs |
| 10:15.50 | RST38h | Web pages do not cost money but my screen space does. |
| 10:16.11 | RST38h | When I am using 1600x1200 26" display, it costs less of course |

| 10:17.19 | wazd | RST38h: It's not inefficent |
| 10:17.22 | RST38h | wazd: Guess what? Your tablet effectively has no scrollbars |
| 10:17.32 | X-Fade | RST38h: I know what you mean, that is why I wrapped around the sidebar on the planet page for instance. |

| 10:20.48 | RST38h | Anyways, I dislike web page designs that arrange information into thin columns surrounded by unused whitespace |
| 10:21.28 | RST38h | If these pages achieve some balance in your mind, that is up to you. But I find them wasteful and hard to read, especially on a tablet. |
| 10:22.20 | alterego | How do you know what revision of the beagle board you're purchasing from digikey? Or is it always the latest revision? (C7?) |
| 10:23.26 | johnx | is revision C out? |
| 10:23.50 | wazd | Well, Slashdot is not the best example of coloumn layout :) |
| 10:24.20 | alterego | No, it's probably not C ^_^ |
| 10:24.34 | RST38h | wazd: Exactly. |
| 10:25.04 | alterego | _B7_ is the latest revision I think |

| 10:25.44 | GeneralAntilles | alterego, B7 is latest |
| 10:25.51 | GeneralAntilles | C is scheduled for February, or March I think. |

| 10:31.01 | X-Fade | wazd: It will be included for sure ;) |
| 10:32.21 | wazd | X-Fade, Jaffa: And that's the second failure of current layout. Ok, there is some space for "talk" button but that would be last. No scalability. |

| 10:36.43 | Sts|office | so i can molest that one |
| 10:36.47 | Macer | hey sts |
| 10:37.03 | Macer | well i needed to turn the n800 into something that can print |
| 10:37.24 | Macer | and use wifi so i can use it as an office app thing |
| 10:38.02 | Macer | i guess pb started to use koffice instead of openoffice |
| 10:38.16 | Macer | whatever works i suppose |

| 10:42.08 | johnx | RST38h, awesome! is the vb port after or before the TIbasic port? |

| 10:46.12 | alterego | Too late now |
| 10:46.17 | GeneralAntilles | Hehe |
| 10:46.39 | RST38h | johnx: National Education Associations - they claimed that VGBA on TI calcs subjects them to cruel and unusual punishment n the course of work =) |
| 10:46.43 | GeneralAntilles | Well, it's proper USB EHCI, twice the RAM, ES3.0 (NEON bugs fixed, etc) |
| 10:46.54 | alterego | I guess it's first thing in the morning in the states. So hopefully it'll get processed and dispatched today :) |
| 10:47.10 | johnx | RST38h, subjects worse on the programmer. did you ever write in it? |
| 10:47.12 | RST38h | Hmm...Nokia came up with a new name for N97 - it is now a "webphone" |
| 10:47.30 | RST38h | johnx: I looked at it and played with it a little. |
| 10:47.42 | alterego | Scht .. If I knew C was _that_ much better I'd have postponed. |
| 10:48.10 | RST38h | johnx: Frankly, FX720 BASIC was better |

| 10:53.12 | GeneralAntilles | Gotta love the TIs |
| 10:53.44 | RST38h | TIs were pretty decent - Z80, graphical screen. I wrote a TI-84 emulator once, it is still somewhere at my disk |
| 10:54.04 | RST38h | Around TI89, they switched to 68000 for the CPU |

| 10:56.23 | Macer | blah |

| 10:56.52 | Macer | i'll find it later |
| 10:56.59 | GeneralAntilles | Yeah, that too. |

| 10:57.35 | t_s_o | anyways, i got to say that the recent webkit hack has given my N800 new life :D |
| 10:57.36 | johnx | the whole design totally lends itself to security |

| 10:58.26 | alterego | What resolution are those Picp DLPs? |
| 10:58.34 | alterego | ~Pico |
| 10:58.36 | infobot | methinks pico is a non-free text editor. Try nano as a GPL'ed alternative, or if you insist on pico, download the source for pine from non-free, build it, and install the resulting pico_something.deb |
| 10:58.55 | alterego | Heh |
| 10:59.27 | GeneralAntilles | 800x600, I think |
| 10:59.27 | johnx | alterego, some are 480x320. I saw a pico projector that was VGA and another at WVGA, but I don't remember if it was DLP (or are all pico projectors DLP?) |
| 10:59.58 | johnx | RST38h, programming that thing looks brain damaging |

| 11:01.07 | alterego | I wont bother thinking about getting one unless it's native beagle resolution :) |
| 11:01.21 | johnx | knows nothing about the tech |

| 11:06.11 | GeneralAntilles | alterego, the higher resolution support seems to be mildly dependent on your LCD |
| 11:06.24 | GeneralAntilles | as there's a bit of fiddling with the clock rates going on, I think. |

| 11:34.48 | t_s_o | hrmf, i still wonder why scrolling itt in minimal theme using webkit creates so much tearing. i thought the theme was supposed to be light weight. i get less tearing on pages with heavier graphics... |

| 11:35.42 | Jaffa | Yeah, I use "WebKit Settings" to switch user agent, but no kinetic scrolling and user agent still reports Gecko & tablet browser. |
| 11:35.42 | RST38h | but how about features - downloading, etc? |
| 11:36.04 | X-Fade | Jaffa: Reboot. |
| 11:36.10 | t_s_o | downloading dont work yet, instead one get the file rendered as a "page" ;) |
| 11:36.15 | wazd | rebooting |
| 11:36.26 | X-Fade | Hmm fullscreen isn't half bad.. |
| 11:36.40 | X-Fade | A bit of tearing/flickering.. |
| 11:36.54 | Jaffa | X-Fade: indeed, am doing. "WebKit Settings" should tell you do to that (or restart browserd itself) |
| 11:37.00 | wazd | Weheheeew) |
| 11:37.26 | lardman | twiddles thumbs waiting for the deb to download & install |
| 11:37.34 | X-Fade | The damping of the kinetic scrolling is a bit high. But still.. |
| 11:37.37 | t_s_o | iirc, the deb supposedly restarts browserd, so im not sure why it needs the initial reboot after install |
| 11:37.38 | X-Fade | Nice ;) |

| 12:07.40 | johnx | kills battery life and I can actually tell the difference in sound quality. also my old a2dp headphones are uncomfortable with glasses and huge and clunky :/ |
| 12:07.47 | lardman | johnx: I'll backport it and re-package bluez-utils with it in; I should try submitting the patch as a bug and see if it can be pushed through as an official update |
| 12:07.58 | lcuk | t_s_o, less tearing on heavy pages because it takes longer to draw so giving more chance to update lcd before it tries to overwrite it |
| 12:08.01 | lardman | johnx: yeah, new code sounds better |
| 12:08.11 | johnx | (!) |
| 12:08.22 | johnx | you mean the pitch changes, right? |
| 12:08.22 | lardman | ssvb has been patching like mad, he's going for optimisations now too |
| 12:08.24 | lcuk | ello lardman |
| 12:08.46 | lardman | johnx: pitch changes are, I think, more related to cpu load, the timing gets thrown off |
| 12:09.07 | RST38h | wonders if he will finally be able to check if his bt headphones do a2dp =) |
| 12:09.09 | wazd | ah, pitch changes! |
| 12:09.10 | lardman | there are some optimisations which have reduced that, at least on the DSP, presumably it will also hold true for the ARM too |
| 12:09.17 | wazd | It's so awesome!)) |
| 12:09.41 | wazd | I was laughing when I heard my player enthusiasm :) |
| 12:09.56 | lardman | lol, I don't know what some songs are supposed to sound like now, so used to listening to them gooiiinnnggg sslllooowwwllllyyyy |
| 12:10.06 | RST38h | lardman: Why would it change the pitch though? Isn't there a constant sampling frequency? |
| 12:11.04 | RST38h | or it simply can't keep up? |
| 12:11.04 | lardman | if the samples are sent too slowly the pitch drops, that's mu understanding |
| 12:11.04 | wazd | I had pitches both ways, slower and faster |
| 12:11.04 | lardman | yeah, then it catches up and plays them too fast |
| 12:11.16 | lardman | but with the dsp stuff it tended to be too slow all the time, until it would drop out and reset |
| 12:11.25 | t_s_o | lcuk: ah, that makes sense. somewhat sadly... |

| 12:12.46 | lardman | so it seems |
| 12:13.03 | lardman | well pitch scaling it just an effect of playing the samples too slowly of course |
| 12:13.34 | lardman | some wierdness going on in the headphone hw |
| 12:13.35 | johnx | it's great too. sounds exactly like a portable casette player running out of battery power :) |
| 12:13.46 | Sts|office | hmm, does anyone know a way to make the kernel boot the rootfs instead of the initfs? like, through flasher |
| 12:13.52 | lardman | johnx: lol, yeah |
| 12:14.13 | lardman | johnx: anyway, the faster code is far better, and the fixed code sound better too, not clipped |
| 12:15.05 | johnx | guess I should try and get a better package out then. probably not tonight, but "soon" (tm) |
| 12:15.19 | lardman | what's wrong with the existing one? |

| 12:17.12 | Sts|office | ah, k |
| 12:17.33 | johnx | lardman, actually, maybe we could package it in some other way... |
| 12:17.37 | lardman | I'd prefer it to be released officially with an extra ossoX increment, but that will probably not happen very quickly if at all |
| 12:17.55 | johnx | also, I can use zenity this time |
| 12:18.18 | lardman | johnx: the a2dp support stuff will be fine in extras, would be good |

| 13:30.14 | wazd | But UMPC's on Atom are total crap |
| 13:30.22 | wazd | Like benq's one |
| 13:30.37 | johnx | MIDs or UMPCs? |
| 13:30.42 | wazd | who needs that hot brick that works for 2 hours? |
| 13:30.46 | wazd | Both :0 |
| 13:30.50 | wazd | :) |
| 13:31.07 | mavhc | someone with no heating? |
| 13:31.15 | wazd | :D |
| 13:31.50 | johnx | so neat to see the CPU market heating up again in the embedded area |
| 13:31.56 | mavhc | vista is supposed to scale stuff better, winfx stuff anyway |
| 13:31.58 | jaska | my old p200mmx laptop was nice for doing wlan measurements in -30c.. kept my hands warm |
| 13:31.58 | johnx | heh, pun not intended |
| 13:32.31 | mavhc | intel: arm sucks, well, except for that strongarm that we bought, that didn't suck when we owned it, but after we sold it it sucked again |
| 13:32.31 | t_s_o | iirc, that was the interesting thing comparing via nano to intel atom. atom went in-order to get the wattage down, nano went out-of-order to get speed up. end result, comparable speed to watt ratio... |
| 13:32.43 | johnx | jaska, and now you can relive those old memories with the new, Atom. I'd love to see a clock for clock comparison against a 200mmx :) |
| 13:32.45 | wazd | I don't know details of CPU actions, but why there are still no easy recompilling from x86 to Arm? |
| 13:33.12 | johnx | wazd, there are. look at debian/ubuntu |
| 13:33.14 | jaska | well, the laptop was the slowest 200mmx possible.. problems with l2 cache i think |
| 13:33.31 | mavhc | if you have the source, and it makes no assumptions about byte order, register size etc, it might work |
| 13:33.34 | jaska | also if you made it beep while a network card transmitted the hardware locked up |
| 13:33.36 | johnx | ah, separate L2 cache. had to be careful which mobo you picked back then :) |
| 13:33.36 | jaska | etc :) |
| 13:33.41 | wazd | And why then everybody stuck with x86? |
| 13:33.43 | mavhc | everything in debian works on ARM |
| 13:34.08 | mavhc | because of closed source stuff, and the cost of making faster and faster chips |
| 13:34.09 | johnx | wazd, because it's only easy to recompile if you write proper, portable code in the first place that doesn't make stupid assumptions |
| 13:34.15 | t_s_o | wazd: to costly to get all those in-house solutions going on new hardware? |
| 13:34.28 | wazd | Maybe better put money in software transition to arm platforms |
| 13:34.43 | jaska | x86 has to be the ugliest possible isa tho |
| 13:34.55 | johnx | wazd, you'd lose so much performance you'd be better off on x86 |
| 13:35.10 | t_s_o | heh, i keep thinking that there are many offices that run internal systems built around ms office, using the vbscript as a RAD of sorts... |
| 13:35.18 | jaska | (actually, not sure if its ugliest possible, i havent encountered ia64) |
| 13:35.20 | johnx | wazd, or do you mean recoding crappy old windows apps? |
| 13:35.31 | wazd | I don't mean to throw away x86 and use arm everywhere |
| 13:35.43 | wazd | but x86 UMPCs are totally ridiculous |

| 13:37.14 | alterego | There's this really hilarious thread about pandora on youtube. It's just one massive flame war about the DS being better than it ^_^ |

| 13:38.00 | alterego | That wasn't an emote ^_^ |
| 13:38.13 | mavhc | x86 is like an evil devil child, even its parents can't kill it, as intel tried to do with ia64 |
| 13:38.21 | johnx | wazd, people don't know what they want. Also: "People hate change, even change for the better." |
| 13:38.32 | jaska | ia64 had somewhat of a "second system effect" |
| 13:38.35 | johnx | probably some deeply ingrained survival instinct |
| 13:38.59 | wazd | Destroy Humanity! :) |
| 13:39.18 | mavhc | it's like microsoft's backwards compatibility, it makes windows suck more, but they can't leave it out |
| 13:39.20 | alterego | I think mobility will be an important step into the demise of the ia32 architecture ;) |
| 13:39.59 | johnx | wazd, heh, "Now I'm not saying we should kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying we should take all the warning labels off of stuff and let things work themselves out." |
| 13:40.12 | mavhc | can we just castrate them? |
| 13:40.22 | alterego | For instance, the next tablet will have the ability to run amazing games through your TV. You can get a wiimote and pair it with the "N900" and you've got a winner mobile console O_O |
| 13:40.23 | johnx | alterego, and the move to computers being more an appliance |
| 13:40.35 | alterego | Exactly. |
| 13:41.33 | alterego | In the future, the only people needing actual workstations will be developers, media producers and service providers. The normal desktop user now wont need one. |
| 13:41.43 | t_s_o | data portability will be a major thing. to bad that cloud solutions seems hell bent on recreating the proprietary formats of ms office and similar... |
| 13:41.47 | johnx | in the early days of electricity people would have one electric motor that they would swap around to power different things. Then motors got cheap and everything has its own. We're on the verge of that same situation with computers. [no sources cited |
| 13:42.04 | alterego | Heh, cloud computing sounds like vapour where to me ;) |

| 13:43.16 | t_s_o | alterego: to me its mostly about cloud storage then actual computing. in that having contacts, calendar and files online (with automatic mirroring onto devices as they connect) makes for backup and access at the same time |

| 13:57.53 | Sts|office | i'm thinking we can tread waters by a simple "take initfs image from existing firmware image, do one-two modifications on servers and provide under license agreement (and MAC auth) on maemo.org" |
| 13:59.58 | RST38h | Sts: That one probably won't fly |
| 14:00.22 | Sts|office | RST38h: any reasons why it wouldn't? |
| 14:00.30 | johnx | yeah, pulling from initfs seems easiest. |
| 14:00.52 | johnx | Sts|office, have you tried an android kernel with mer, out of curiosity? |
| 14:01.03 | Sts|office | johnx: think solca did |
| 14:01.07 | RST38h | Sts: Well, you are creating a derivative work from their whole initfs, which may lead to customers blaming them for the bugs in it |
| 14:01.35 | Sts|office | RST38h: http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2008-December/002818.html , http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2008-December/002824.html |
| 14:01.40 | Jaffa | RST38h: that's the whole point |
| 14:01.45 | RST38h | pulling some choice parts and clearly labelling them as nokia ip would be better |
| 14:02.00 | Sts|office | so rewriting initfs and taking in the parts we need? |
| 14:02.39 | lcuk | ~lart .net |
| 14:02.39 | infobot | throws .net's poor little doggy off a cliff |
| 14:02.40 | RST38h | prolly |
| 14:02.41 | Jaffa | Isn't the point of doing it server-side, and having the MAC auth/licence agreeement that there's no real restriction on *how* the images are put together |
| 14:02.49 | Sts|office | yeah, it is |
| 14:03.44 | RST38h | so, you want to create new initfs on a Nokia server dynamically? |
| 14:03.52 | Sts|office | RST38h: maemo.org |
| 14:03.53 | RST38h | from pieces taken from the old initfs and your own stuff? |
| 14:03.57 | Jaffa | And so I can't see that step #1 in testing that infrastructure being "taking existing Maemo image and making a small change [i.e. setting an additional environment var during boot]" being a problem |
| 14:04.01 | Sts|office | RST38h: yeah |
| 14:04.20 | RST38h | Sts: It is cute, but probably won't fly through their legal department |
| 14:04.33 | Sts|office | RST38h: well, they seemed not to freak extremely at first |
| 14:04.36 | Sts|office | which is interesting |
| 14:04.48 | Sts|office | (they were probably just busy to get earlier home for xmas, though .. :>) |
| 14:04.48 | Jaffa | RST38h: Nokia are involved in these discussions |
| 14:04.57 | RST38h | Sts: neural pathways are too long, your post hasn't reached The Brain yet |
| 14:05.07 | johnx | RST38h, they've already been releasing "unofficial" images anyways |
| 14:05.21 | RST38h | johnx: Good argument for it |
| 14:05.39 | RST38h | I kinda doubt it would atter to them where the image is built at the end though |
| 14:06.04 | Sts|office | i think it matters how it's distributed :P |
| 14:06.21 | RST38h | They would like to 1) avoid liability and 2) avoid IP leakage |
| 14:06.21 | johnx | well, the stuff we want is on the server, and the images would need to be distributed on the server |
| 14:06.23 | Jaffa | The reason for having it built on maemo.org is that there is then never a version (or component part) which is third party sourced (e.g. Flash) which is out-there not behind a license agreement |
| 14:06.27 | johnx | no reason to pull it down and put it up again |
| 14:07.14 | Jaffa | If the Flash-bit was stored in mer's git, then anyone could reuse it or build it outside of a Nokia device. Meaning Nokia have been complicit in violating their contracts with third party suppliers. |
| 14:07.57 | Sts|office | mm, i'd stay clear of even mentioning flash. the more interesting parts are stuff like umac.ko and the wifi firmware :P |

| 17:30.55 | Jaffa | wazd: it will be - needs to get there first |
| 17:31.14 | mikkov_ | funny that the word "pearl" isn't mentioned on that page |
| 17:31.18 | qwerty12_ | WebKit engine isn't listed on the catalogue |
| 17:31.25 | RST38h | not yet |
| 17:31.28 | Jaffa | RST38h: Except for the past X months, there's been no argument about whether A or B are pearls - because there have been very few suggestions |
| 17:32.08 | Jaffa | eCoach isn't listed there. So there's obviously not an exact overlap |
| 17:32.20 | RST38h | It needs time :) |

| 17:36.24 | Jaffa | i.e. (and these are rhetorical questions) how do you handle multiple selection & drag to scroll? is it implemented at the GtkScrollView layer or a new widget? What scrollbars are shown? etc. |
| 17:36.24 | RST38h | Jaffa: Nobody uses that voting system |
| 17:36.48 | RST38h | Jaffa: So, a one time poll at itt would probably help |
| 17:37.04 | Jaffa | wazd: Hildon Gtk is still very close to upstream, so it's not surprising it's taken to Fremantle to get it sorted. |

| 17:37.40 | Stslaptop | wazd: i think kinetic fremantle widgets are already there and doesn't use acceleration |
| 17:37.56 | Stslaptop | but then again 300mhz extra might do a difference |
| 17:38.26 | X-Fade | Stslaptop: And a graphics bus that can handle it ;) |
| 17:38.27 | Jaffa | RST38h: I think the word "nobody" is, again, a little too specific (and wrong). But if you want to draw attention to the fact that it's the community who select the pearls, and help rally people round discussing what makes a good pearl and getting more people involved in the selection (and, hopefully, encouraging app authors to go that extra mile), by all means - create a poll :-) |
| 17:38.31 | Stslaptop | X-Fade: mmm. |
| 17:38.51 | Stslaptop | then again, we have stuff like liqbase.. |
| 17:39.15 | RST38h | Sts: stuff like web page rendering is gated by memory bandwidth |

| 18:57.45 | sisto | let me check |
| 18:58.07 | sisto | this is the app http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ |
| 18:58.25 | sisto | let me check what are the libraries |
| 18:58.38 | Stskeeps | you can really get similar of those applications easily on tablet.. |
| 18:58.48 | Stskeeps | or fairly easy to make |
| 18:58.55 | lcuk | sisto, yeah, that needs windows xp on the tablet |

| 19:05.20 | Stskeeps | besides the fact it's "not x86", it is a very versatile device. |
| 19:05.31 | Stskeeps | can run quite a lot of different things, maemo, ubuntu, etc |
| 19:06.09 | sisto | is there a benefit in changing to debian / ubuntu / android etc? |
| 19:06.32 | Stskeeps | depends for what you want to use it for |
| 19:06.50 | Stskeeps | some things are easier in ubuntu, and some things are more power saving in maemo, etc |
| 19:06.53 | Stskeeps | there's always pros and cons |
| 19:07.00 | Stskeeps | and you can switch between the OS'es, multiboot |

| 19:09.19 | sisto | i guess they must have been made specially for the device |
| 19:09.28 | Stskeeps | not really |
| 19:09.38 | lcuk | yeah, linux was designed with the n8x0 series in mind |
| 19:09.50 | lcuk | linus was such a visionary |
| 19:09.55 | sisto | lcuk: sure that's exactly what i meant lol |
| 19:10.06 | Stskeeps | it's typically the distro for the processor with minimal tablet changes |
| 19:11.10 | lcuk | sisto, as long as there are valid drivers for the hardware its usable, since the touch interface is pretty generic thats a fairly easy one, whether or not the OS you choose uses that input as well as maemo is another matter |
| 19:11.54 | GeneralAntilles | Khertan, I'm sorry it sucks so much where you're using your tablet. :P |
| 19:11.55 | sisto | but does ubuntu use the full desktop on the n810? cause that uses 1 gb of ram on my desktop pc |
| 19:12.15 | Stskeeps | sisto: hehe, which is why some of us work on Mer :) |
| 19:12.22 | Stskeeps | which is ubuntu with the maemo platform on top |

| 19:23.23 | RST38h | or POS |
| 19:23.39 | mrweasel | on startup it switches directly from the console to xfce |

| 19:30.01 | Stskeeps | mrweasel: it kinda wonders me you have XFCE, because i haven't had that version for quite a while.. |
| 19:30.07 | RST38h | it should be in .xinitrc or .startxrc |

| 19:45.35 | GAN800 | pong |
| 19:45.36 | Stskeeps | lxde should be easy based on that |
| 19:45.45 | Stskeeps | GAN800: http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Community_firmware_image_distribution (First request) |
| 19:46.02 | mrweasel | i've seen that, but i don't consider ubuntu a good idea on the tablet.. =) |

| 19:46.30 | mrweasel | but fast? |
| 19:46.36 | Stskeeps | yeah |
| 19:46.46 | Stskeeps | its even more optimized for these, so |
| 19:47.10 | mrweasel | this ubuntu thing is quite new, isn't it ? |
| 19:47.19 | Stskeeps | yeah, but based on the Mer experiences, so |
| 19:48.24 | mrweasel | i've read a lot of that tablet stuff since i got it in october.. it's amazing that these people i always read about really "exist" here on irc |
| 19:48.32 | mrweasel | =) |
| 19:50.21 | mrweasel | Stskeeps: so you don't have any clue where to find that xfce startup thing ? |
| 19:50.37 | Stskeeps | mrweasel: can you grep for a 'startx' in /etc/init.d/* ? |
| 19:51.09 | mrweasel | i remember that there is a ./x-session that does it |
| 19:51.47 | Stskeeps | yeah, ok, so, apt-get away xfce (purge the packages) and apt-get install lxde |
| 19:51.52 | Stskeeps | i believe |
| 19:52.01 | mrweasel | "su - -c "startx -- $XSERVERARGS" $USERNAME & |
| 19:52.09 | mrweasel | but how does startx know which wm to choose ? |

| 20:28.52 | sisto | because i can leave the unread message in my inbox until i can attend to it |
| 20:29.31 | sisto | i guess that is my gripe with device calendars... once u close it it's gone |
| 20:29.45 | sisto | you can make the notification stick around |
| 20:29.51 | sisto | *you can't |
| 20:30.08 | lcuk | why not? |
| 20:30.37 | sisto | because i have an imate jam and that's how it works... i haven't tried other devices |

| 20:30.56 | sisto | but once i click on it it's gone |
| 20:31.20 | lcuk | so if you accidentally click on something it vanishes forever? |
| 20:31.31 | sisto | this is how it goes |
| 20:31.35 | sisto | i set up the appointment |
| 20:31.42 | sisto | the date comes and a notification pops up |
| 20:31.45 | sisto | i click on it |
| 20:31.48 | sisto | the notification is gone |
| 20:31.55 | sisto | but the appointment stays on the calendar |
| 20:32.01 | sisto | but donesn't notify me again |
| 20:32.11 | lcuk | meh |
| 20:32.12 | sisto | i would like the notification to stay on the tray area |
| 20:32.20 | lcuk | technically its done its job |
| 20:32.27 | sisto | yeah |

| 20:34.09 | mrweasel | lol |
| 20:36.18 | sisto | In my opinion the notification should have two buttons... A dismiss button would close the notification. An ok button will make it stick around. I can always click on dismiss later if I'm done with it. |

| 20:50.29 | mrweasel | if i accidentally trash that system i'm surely moving to some more recent.. but i like that debian ... if only to impress my friends =) |
| 20:50.58 | mrweasel | and i'm using it as the system for that chroot thing instead of easy debian also.... |
| 20:51.16 | Stskeeps | mrweasel: depends if you have old or new installer, hmm.. |
| 20:51.28 | Stskeeps | can you check if you have packages.tspre.org in your sources list? |

| 20:51.38 | mrweasel | no |

| 20:51.52 | Stskeeps | where the packages are in your actual setup |
| 20:52.16 | Stskeeps | and no, not all of it is from debian repos, if so, it would have been debian, not deblet ;) |
| 20:52.41 | mrweasel | yes of course, but everything i sould eventually need to install now |
| 20:55.21 | mrweasel | so as long as i'm not reinstalling everything will be fine |

| 22:44.44 | wazd | Yep, too narrow for 4 coloumns |

| 22:48.55 | GAN800 | Much faster than it ever did in MicroB, too. |
| 22:49.34 | r2d2rogers | \o/ |
| 22:49.41 | Stskeeps | should really try that webkit thing sometime. if it's half as good as midori.. |
| 22:49.54 | r2d2rogers | I still need to get pluged in better with bzr and the SDK |
| 22:49.54 | Jaffa | http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=255923&postcount=89 makes an interesting point. If pronvit's done so much with webkit-eal in a few weeks, why didn't Nokia do it? |
| 22:49.58 | GAN800 | but for some reason Minimalist annihilates inertial. |
| 22:50.06 | Jaffa | Stskeeps: I had a quick play this afternoon - it's very cool |
| 22:50.18 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: isn't webkit used on the other N-devices? |
| 22:50.20 | Jaffa | GAN800: As did full Gmail |
| 22:50.22 | skibur | I didn't know that somebody was able to install Slackware (ARMedSlack) on the Nokia 770. |
| 22:50.37 | Stskeeps | skibur: nitdroid and Mer is much cooler, though |
| 22:50.40 | GAN800 | Jaffa, maybe js mouseover stuff? |
| 22:50.43 | Jaffa | Stskeeps: I don't know to what extent. |
| 22:50.57 | Jaffa | GAN800: Definitely JSey, mouseover or some other event handling perhaps. |
| 22:51.09 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: we could run GWT applications on N96, at least |
| 22:51.19 | Jaffa | wonders if paternity leave is a good time to get stuck into Mer. |

| 22:51.53 | Stskeeps | i always seem to get stuck into these things when i have exams |
| 22:52.06 | qwerty12_N800 | Stskeeps, all nokia symbian s60 9.1 phones use a webkit based browser |
| 22:52.15 | Stskeeps | thought so |
| 22:52.16 | lcuk | i think it tears more when theres LESS to do because its trying to draw more frames |
| 22:52.33 | RST38h | Webkit does show more problems with websites |
| 22:52.37 | RST38h | than Gecko |
| 22:52.40 | Jaffa | GAN800: Your follow on point about the fact that the community's able to provide this stuff is a Good Thing is also true :) |
| 22:53.19 | Stskeeps | r2d2rogers: able to do a quick sapwood switcheroo? |
| 22:53.22 | Stskeeps | just compiled trunk |
| 22:53.30 | r2d2rogers | Stskeeps: yessir |
| 22:53.35 | GAN800 | Jaffa, think about how much better the reception would've been with scrolling like this when OS2008 came out. . . . |
| 22:53.35 | r2d2rogers | have itup and able |
| 22:54.42 | Stskeeps | r2d2rogers: http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/sapwoodtrunk/ |
| 22:54.44 | Stskeeps | two packages there |
| 22:55.02 | Jaffa | GAN800: aye. Even looking at the webOS demo part of me was thinking "what's the chance of Fremantle being that integrated, consistent and thought out (ah, the benefits of having a wholly new platform)" - oh, and "mmm, more OMAP3 demo luvliness", the other part was thinking "this is old, it's not doing anything the iPhone didn't do 2 years ago, except multitasking" |
| 22:55.13 | r2d2rogers | Stskeeps: will do, then reboot |
| 22:55.47 | RST38h | Once again: iPhone does multitasking. |
| 22:55.48 | Jaffa | GAN800: (my point being that fremantle'll have to be absolutely good, rather than just relatively good to get Maemo back on people's radars) |

| 22:56.46 | Jaffa | "multitasking" seemed like an understandable shortcut ;-) |

| 22:57.25 | Jaffa | lcuk: true - there was no demoing of notification of new email, inbound call, IM etc. |
| 22:57.32 | woglinde | hi |
| 22:57.33 | wazd | Hope Fremantle would be even better |
| 22:57.47 | RST38h | Jaffa: Once you jailbreak it, it does that as well |
| 22:57.50 | lcuk | there was i think, something updated on one of the windows |

| 22:58.17 | sisto | hola |

| 22:58.23 | Stskeeps | Jaffa: better hope so :P |
| 22:58.37 | sisto | have you guys seen the new Asus EEE d200 nas server? |
| 22:58.39 | sisto | http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/asus-eee-d200-with-touchscreen-display-sneaks-out-in-taiwan/ |
| 22:58.42 | lcuk | RST38h, not really it doesnt, if you jailbreak it you get access to the OS to run your own stuff, but you cannot magically make the game engine do more without serious work |
| 22:58.42 | RST38h | Because there is no way it is going to be as good as a few dozen hardcore fans will expect it to be, for 6 months. |
| 22:58.47 | sisto | it runs linux |
| 22:59.02 | RST38h | lcuk: Mmm? |
| 22:59.26 | RST38h | lcuk: You can run multiple processes at the same time, that is multitasking |
| 22:59.26 | Jaffa | RST38h: Well, a jailbroken iPhone is running a Unix-like OS in which you can run some processes in the background. But foreground apps still will receive the "save & shutdown" signal on the user pressing the home button (or whatever it's called) |
| 22:59.33 | lcuk | the game engine is what you play all the time on these phones - its likely what fremantle will be, sure you might find a hack and get into the core machine |
| 22:59.40 | Stskeeps | sisto: whywouldyouneed a touch screen on a .. NAS? |
| 22:59.46 | r2d2rogers | Stskeeps: booted faster, testing now |
| 22:59.52 | RST38h | Jaffa: Ok. What happens if I do not heed the signal then? |
| 22:59.55 | sisto | Stskeeps: why not? |
| 23:00.01 | r2d2rogers | Stskeeps: same behavior |
| 23:00.03 | Jaffa | RST38h: Though I agree, Fremantle'll probably not meet expectations. Even Nokia have been trying to manage expectations of Fremantle by better pointing to Harmattan |
| 23:00.05 | Stskeeps | sisto: why not pink ponies as well |
| 23:00.06 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 23:00.14 | sisto | :) |
| 23:00.16 | wazd | I wish backward compatibility |
| 23:00.34 | lcuk | but the game engine says theres a set number of characters doing things, if you want to add more characters interacting with the main game you need to know how to reprogram the engine |
| 23:00.43 | RST38h | Jaffa: Basically, by looking at my crystal balls (tm), I see three major snafus coming: |
| 23:00.47 | Stskeeps | r2d2rogers: alright, needed to get that out of the way |
| 23:00.57 | r2d2rogers | <G> |
| 23:01.13 | Jaffa | RST38h: I don't know what happens if you ignore the save signal; I'm not an iPhone dev. I expect you get killed. I really don't care enough to get into *another* semantic argument with you, this time about whether the iPhone can multitask. I know it can at the OS level. At the end-user level, you can't have multiple apps installed from the App Store running at the same time. |
| 23:01.35 | lcuk | RST38h, imagine how difficult it would be to do extra special things in doom or something |
| 23:01.36 | sisto | Stskeeps: it looks expensive (that nas) |
| 23:01.45 | lcuk | ie to show through your alarm clock |
| 23:01.55 | Stskeeps | sisto: also, why 6 channel HD audio l.. in a NAT?! |
| 23:01.56 | r2d2rogers | Stskeeps: anything else before I leave? |
| 23:01.57 | Stskeeps | NAS |
| 23:01.58 | RST38h | Jaffa: 1) Clutter being just another overblown graphics api, not delivering on expectations, 2) new tracker-based search indexer wasting battery and 3) more browser fun |
| 23:02.02 | Stskeeps | r2d2rogers: nah, i'm good for now |
| 23:02.27 | sisto | Stskeeps: but it's eee branded, it's supposed to be cheapo |
| 23:02.33 | RST38h | Jaffa: Would be interesting to see which of these will actually happen =) |
| 23:02.45 | lcuk | RST38h, clutter is the base library, the ui interactions ontop can be anything the game engine developers wants it to be |
| 23:02.47 | r2d2rogers | Have a good weekend all <G> |
| 23:03.02 | wazd | c ya) |
| 23:03.05 | lcuk | sisto, ive seen the eee tablet, its looking nice |
| 23:03.09 | lcuk | cya r2d2rogers |
| 23:03.10 | RST38h | lcuk: Won't be very difficult, no more difficult than in other Unix like systems |
| 23:03.24 | Jaffa | RST38h: I'd bet on things like Clutter and Tracker having such poor UIs built on top of them, that any benefits of the technology have some, err, barriers to overcome ;-) |
| 23:03.46 | sisto | lcuk: you mean the 12 inch one? i think it runs linux though |
| 23:03.53 | lcuk | not difficult to jailbreak and run regular apps, you are right, but to run apps outside what the game engines rules |
| 23:04.02 | *** join/#maemo Atarii (n=Atarii@unaffiliated/atarii) |
| 23:04.04 | lcuk | means you cannot run the game |
| 23:04.15 | RST38h | Jaffa: Tracker will probably cause problems in disk space, performance, and battery life department. The UIs to Tracker I have seen so far in Ubuntu are fine |
| 23:04.17 | Robot101 | Jaffa: not only can user installed apps not multitask (after the save signal, then you get killed after 1 second anyway) but apple's built in stuff like the media player and email client leak like hell and leave very little memory for the user apps |
| 23:04.26 | sisto | lcuk: i meant to say "i think it runs windows though" |
| 23:04.43 | RST38h | Jaffa: But silently eating off 200MB of disk space for indices I will not forget :) |
| 23:04.44 | lcuk | sisto, when i get one it will run liqbase :) |
| 23:05.04 | Jaffa | RST38h: That's what /media/mmc3 will be for ;-) |
| 23:05.12 | Jaffa | Robot101: lovely |
| 23:05.20 | qwerty12_N800 | Robot101, leaking email client? i'd suspect that they've been stealing ideas of nokia :> |
| 23:05.21 | RST38h | Jaffa: using perforated paper tape, no doubt? =) |
| 23:05.31 | sisto | lcuk: hopefully they'll release it with linux also |
| 23:05.53 | RST38h | lcuk: I do not really understand what you mean by game engine: at some point iPhone should just give you a frame buffer pointer |
| 23:06.14 | RST38h | lcuk: After that you can couple with it any way you wish, from as many threads as you wish |
| 23:06.27 | lcuk | why does it need to give you DMA access? |
| 23:06.33 | lcuk | or rather bare pointer |
| 23:06.47 | Robot101 | you don't build a UI /on/ clutter though, you build a UI /with/ clutter... like you might use X or cairo or gtk as parts of building a UI |
| 23:07.14 | sisto | lcuk: does liqbase replace the OS on the tablet? |
| 23:07.19 | lcuk | yes Robot101, you use clutter as your low level box/visualization manager |
| 23:07.25 | sisto | lcuk: or does it run on top of linux? |
| 23:07.33 | lcuk | no sisto, it runs ontop of linux :) |
| 23:07.45 | RST38h | lcuk: It is an ARM based gadget, so most likely you will get a pointer |
| 23:07.55 | lcuk | RST38h, depends on the API |
| 23:07.58 | RST38h | lcuk: I can even predict what it will be, with some precision |
| 23:07.59 | Jaffa | Robot101: except Nokia are talking about providing a way of integrating Clutter & Gtk in ways which (AFAICT) haven't been done before. But my concern in the UI is based on the general mishmash of concepts in diablo we see in Nokia-delivered applications :) |
| 23:08.05 | lcuk | it might all be SDL like abstraction |

| 23:10.20 | *** join/#maemo alecrim_ (n=alecrim@189.2.128.130) |
| 23:10.45 | Jaffa | RST38h: AFAICT, there's no-one working on Modest fulltime in development any more. Certainly not heard any noises about any development. None of the original dev team seem to be involved any more (which may, or may not, be a good thing ;-)) |
| 23:11.09 | Jaffa | Of course, with some more bug fixes and a fremantle-powered (scrollable) UI, it might be half decent. |
| 23:11.21 | RST38h | Jaffa: It is weird because I can't imagine a tablet without a working mail client |
| 23:11.43 | Robot101 | RST38h: I've not had trouble imagining it, I've got one in my bag...? :D |
| 23:11.43 | Jaffa | Nokia'd say: just use your browser. Same as you would for a calendar ;-) |
| 23:11.48 | RST38h | Jaffa: Naah, the backend does not work well, no UI will fix that =( |
| 23:11.50 | lcuk | in the same way theres a web engine in webkit, is there a core email framework available? |
| 23:12.00 | lcuk | lol rst |
| 23:12.08 | GeneralAntilles | I like how the whole dev team just jettisoned as soon as it was out the door. |
| 23:12.11 | Jaffa | lcuk: camel & evolution; perhaps. Which modest is using. |
| 23:12.22 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: do we know if it was pushed or jumped? |
| 23:12.25 | RST38h | Jaffa: If Khertan has his way, we may be able to do just that |
| 23:12.36 | RST38h | lcuk: Camel |
| 23:12.38 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, the Diablo requirement didn't help thing. |

| 23:12.49 | Jaffa | RST38h: ta |
| 23:12.52 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: ah |
| 23:12.55 | b-man | ll |
| 23:13.02 | Robot101 | GeneralAntilles: which requirements? |
| 23:13.49 | Robot101 | Jaffa: camel isn't that great a library, tinymail had to hack it very hard to get anywhere sensible, with mixed results |
| 23:14.00 | sisto | lcuk: i'm watching your videos on youtube |
| 23:14.12 | Robot101 | Jaffa: like diablo has evolution data server kinda tortured for the contacts app... |
| 23:14.18 | GeneralAntilles | Robot101, of shipping Modest with Diablo |
| 23:14.26 | GeneralAntilles | Which meant to was very rushed. |
| 23:14.28 | lcuk | heh :) i need to make a new one soon. must finish this step off first |
| 23:14.41 | RST38h | They could have kept the original mail client... |
| 23:14.43 | GeneralAntilles | But I find it bizarre that the whole dev team left immediately after that rather than fixing the loose ends. |
| 23:14.43 | Jaffa | Robot101: Mixed results indeed. So much effort went into tinymail to start with, modest doesn't feel like it had the same thoroughness. |
| 23:14.49 | RST38h | Yes, it was basic, but it worked |
| 23:15.01 | lcuk | is the original closed? |
| 23:15.06 | Jaffa | No, it was open. |
| 23:15.11 | GeneralAntilles | osso-email was closed. |
| 23:15.12 | RST38h | General: Are those developers still alive? Anyone checked? =) |
| 23:15.12 | lcuk | then why cant it live on? |
| 23:15.18 | RST38h | No mass suicide? =) |
| 23:15.26 | Robot101 | GeneralAntilles: ah right. I think there was also personnel change (unrelated reasons I think) there which meant that there weren't people pushing it very hard after that |
| 23:15.26 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: ah, of course. I get confused that things with osso- in the name could be closed ;-) |
| 23:15.30 | lcuk | but im meant to be gone now |
| 23:15.44 | GeneralAntilles | Jaffa, well, at least it's dead now. ;) |
| 23:15.45 | qwerty12_N800 | Some parts were open, some closed to my knowledge |
| 23:15.45 | Robot101 | osso-email had some GPL backend based off sylpheed I thought, and closed UI |
| 23:15.46 | RST38h | begone, lcuk! |
| 23:15.57 | GeneralAntilles | RST38h, djcb is on Planet every so often. |
| 23:16.22 | RST38h | General: He may have been tasked with killing the rest! |
| 23:16.24 | Robot101 | the modest folks at igalia are still alive, they're probably just buried under a different project now :) |
| 23:16.26 | Jaffa | Robot101: correct. I tried poking around with various low-level Sylpheed settings to try and get it to be more sensible (e.g. quoting) to no success |
| 23:16.37 | GeneralAntilles | sergio hangs out in here most of the time and I think he's one of the leaders for Modest these days. |
| 23:16.43 | RST38h | sees an opportunity for a conspiracy theory here |
| 23:16.49 | sisto | lcuk: it looks awesome... are you going to make a widget library with all that? |
| 23:17.07 | RST38h | Robot101: Is Modest source available somewhere? Is it buildable? |
| 23:17.10 | sisto | i bet all apps could benefit from your work |
| 23:17.26 | Robot101 | RST38h: somewhere, yes. most probably... garage.maemo.org perhaps? |
| 23:17.35 | qwerty12_N800 | RST38h, it's always been open |
| 23:17.37 | Robot101 | porting some light gtk client over might be less bad - claws or sylpheed itself...? |
| 23:17.44 | RST38h | Robot: Aha |
| 23:17.50 | Robot101 | tbh I've ended up using mutt w/ ssh in times of desparation :O |
| 23:18.01 | RST38h | Robot: ssh+pine here |
| 23:18.11 | RST38h | No desperation at all, used to pine |
| 23:18.12 | Jaffa | Robot101: I ported Sylpheed ages ago. Claws has hildon & maemo support upstream now. |
| 23:18.35 | Robot101 | Jaffa: nice, how does it work? |
| 23:18.43 | GeneralAntilles | http://modest.garage.maemo.org/ |
| 23:18.47 | Jaffa | I still think the UI is probably over complex (hitting small targets with a stylus on a train isn't fun) |
| 23:18.58 | Robot101 | RST38h: I'm usually a thunderbird user, but HAHAHA for that on a tablet unfortunately |
| 23:19.25 | Robot101 | Jaffa: hrm, I worked on a Psion Netbook Pro linux port and we patched up the sylpheed UI to be simpler |
| 23:19.59 | Robot101 | Jaffa: I think teklogix lawyers are hiding behind every corner and looking for anyone who decides to try and, y'know, release any of the code we made :( |
| 23:20.10 | Robot101 | we had a cool gpe desktop thing which was kinda like hildon before its time... |
| 23:20.13 | woglinde | Robot101 hehe you are at kernel concepts? |
| 23:20.19 | Robot101 | woglinde: no, collabora |
| 23:20.38 | Robot101 | woglinde: but at that time it was just an internship at aleph one near cambridge |
| 23:20.58 | Robot101 | my first embedded linux project, cancelled on the day it was supposed to start production |
| 23:21.25 | RST38h | Robot: Somebody ran Thunderbird on the tablet. It ran. |
| 23:21.28 | Jaffa | Robot101: Yeah, I know a few people who've got one of them but can't release any of the s/w :-( |
| 23:21.50 | Robot101 | Jaffa: I lent mine to someone... I wonder if he still has it... |
| 23:21.56 | RST38h | Robot: Slowly though. |
| 23:22.09 | Robot101 | RST38h: yeah... like the openoffice ARM port ran... :P |

| 23:22.47 | Jaffa | see http://browser.garage.maemo.org/ |
| 23:22.56 | sisto | Jaffa: thanks |
| 23:23.12 | Jaffa | But the UI is separate from the browser engine, and there's a webkit replacement engine you can hotswap between (still under development, and not quite suitable for end-users yet) |
| 23:23.20 | RST38h | General: does not seem to offer latest source code, but digging around |
| 23:24.06 | sisto | webkit rocks for ajax stuff |
| 23:24.15 | RST38h | SVN is available but the last update happened 2 months ago |
| 23:24.16 | Robot101 | our webkit eal stuff was rad |
| 23:24.34 | Robot101 | pretty speedy compared to microb I think :) |
| 23:25.32 | Jaffa | Robot101: you seen pronvit's new webkit-eal? |
| 23:25.41 | Robot101 | development of webkit gtk upstream is frustratingly slow |
| 23:26.09 | Robot101 | we had someone working on it for months and finished in september, and loads of his patches are still awaiting review |
| 23:26.14 | Robot101 | Jaffa: no, did it pick up from ours? |
| 23:26.27 | Robot101 | (I dunno how useful that would be tbh, probably a lot of bitrot) |
| 23:26.42 | RST38h | Modest Users mailing list died somewhere in August |
| 23:26.46 | Jaffa | Robot101: Don't think so, think it was greenfield |

| 23:27.06 | Robot101 | interestingly... where the hell did ours go?! |

| 23:29.06 | Robot101 | Jaffa: wow that loks pretty nice, got further than we did I think |
| 23:29.13 | Robot101 | we got distracted hacking the engine tbh |
| 23:29.18 | Jaffa | heh |
| 23:29.38 | Jaffa | WebKit itself's probably a lot better since then (or certainly more compellingly different to Gecko) |
| 23:29.39 | Robot101 | hey lets do scr... oh wait |
| 23:29.42 | Robot101 | how about zo... oh wait |
| 23:29.47 | Robot101 | file do... nope... |
| 23:30.07 | Robot101 | webkit's codebase is cool compared to gecko |
| 23:30.24 | Robot101 | but I think the community/process/etc around gecko is a lot more healthy |
| 23:30.34 | Robot101 | which is ironic becuase its mad code and really hard to get stuff done in |
| 23:30.49 | Jaffa | Isn't putting your head in a bucket of jam, then doing hand stands in the middle of a colony of soldier ants, more cool than Gecko's codebase |
| 23:31.05 | Robot101 | haha |
