| 00:41.00 | Myrtti | facepalms |
| 00:41.36 | lcuk | that could leave a mark |
| 00:42.08 | lcuk | Myrtti, what did you break |
| 00:42.13 | Myrtti | I've done this so many times I know how to do it without leaving marks |
| 00:42.21 | Myrtti | lcuk: I just learned to use basename... |
| 00:42.37 | Myrtti | AI EES EN EEDJOT |
| 00:42.42 | johnx | let me guess: You wish you learned it a lot earlier? |
| 00:42.56 | lcuk | thankfully i dont know what basename is - tho ive prolly wrote the function myself :D |
| 00:43.27 | Myrtti | FOR FUCKS SAKEEEEEE |
| 00:43.29 | Myrtti | aarrghghg |
| 00:43.42 | johnx | lcuk, if you run: basename /bin/echo it returns echo |
| 00:43.59 | lcuk | heh, yeah, ive wrote a function to do that |
| 00:44.03 | Myrtti | I had two lines of sed to do what baseline pwd can do |
| 00:44.07 | Myrtti | ARRGHGAHSFDGLKHAFGb nfA |
| 00:44.18 | lcuk | was using pure c tho |
| 00:44.21 | johnx | should use cut for that anyways :) |
| 00:44.39 | Myrtti | *HUAH* |
| 00:44.46 | Myrtti | rolls |
| 00:45.10 | lcuk | char *liqapp_filename_walkoverpath(char *filename); |
| 00:45.11 | johnx | huh...actually, you're write, it's non-trivial to pick out the *last* element |
| 00:45.21 | johnx | s/write/right/ |
| 00:46.19 | lcuk | its trivial but you have to walk the entire string to find it |
| 00:46.27 | Myrtti | lcuk: you're talking to a person who knows about *real* programming about as much as a pig knows about French renaissance novelwrights |
| 00:47.12 | Myrtti | so excuse me while I'm an idiot :-D |
| 00:47.14 | lcuk | Myrtti, i write visual basic in the day time. |
| 00:47.37 | Myrtti | lcuk: I write bash, sed and awk. |
| 00:47.42 | johnx | lcuk, I mean with cut and/or sed |
| 00:47.47 | lcuk | you know more languages than me |
| 00:47.47 | Myrtti | those are my tools. I'm useless with everything else. |
| 00:48.02 | lcuk | is useless in linux |
| 00:48.09 | Myrtti | bash is nice. it allows arrays. |
| 00:48.20 | lcuk | now you are the second person ive seen saying that |
| 00:48.27 | lcuk | isnt bash like cmd.exe |
| 00:48.32 | lcuk | on steroids |
| 00:48.34 | johnx | it allows arrays, but it takes some of your soul in return... |
| 00:48.52 | lcuk | arrays of what though |
| 00:49.08 | lcuk | lemon slices are delicious |
| 00:49.13 | lcuk | and middle bacon is horrible |
| 00:49.21 | fireun | bash is nice, fish is better |
| 00:49.24 | fireun | cmd.exe is a joke |
| 00:49.43 | Myrtti | johnx: I'd do this with zsh if I had the luxury to assume that it's available. |
| 00:49.46 | lcuk | what about microsoft gonad? (or whatever its real name is ) |
| 00:49.53 | johnx | bash is the logical descendant of sh. cmd.exe is kind of a barely related cousin... |
| 00:50.24 | johnx | is monad even out yet? |
| 00:50.43 | lcuk | monad! thats its name |
| 00:51.27 | lcuk | im not sure i just remember reading about it being cmd.exe with .net underneath, sorta like vbscript++ |
| 00:51.42 | johnx | just repeat this to yourself every time MS adds a feature: "Those who don't learn from Unix are doomed to reimplement it, poorly." |
| 00:52.50 | lcuk | whats the unix way to make a mobile internet device? |
| 00:53.14 | johnx | probably the bugbase :) |
| 00:53.27 | johnx | individual tools that do one thing, and do it well, but can be connected with each other |
| 00:53.59 | johnx | but I'm not so sure that software engineering principals can be sanely applied to hardware... |
| 00:54.35 | lcuk | but there is the software to run on the hardware |
| 00:54.53 | lcuk | the apis arent always in shape in time and compromises are made |
| 00:55.09 | johnx | Unix is a compromise on Multics :) |
| 00:55.24 | johnx | the whole OS is just one big compromise |
| 00:56.08 | lcuk | yeah, you keep everything together with sticking plasters until the original form cannot be seen |
| 00:56.34 | lcuk | occasionally its good to have a clear out though :) |
| 00:56.59 | johnx | ah, but that's the trick: Instead of making things that need to be plastered together, you make them out of lego bricks in the first place |
| 00:57.19 | lcuk | likes lego |
| 00:57.41 | lcuk | the problem with lego though is that you cannot build more lego with lego |
| 00:58.32 | johnx | I'm pretty sure you could implement bash in bash...it would just...hurt |
| 00:58.33 | johnx | a lot |
| 00:58.37 | lcuk | lol |
| 00:58.56 | Myrtti | OH EM EF GEE |
| 00:59.01 | Myrtti | it works ;___; |
| 00:59.06 | johnx | yay! |
| 00:59.07 | johnx | congrats |
| 00:59.08 | derf | bash is Turing complete. |
| 00:59.09 | lcuk | john, i started peeking at x11 window stuff and reading around matchbox and other wms and stuff |
| 00:59.38 | lcuk | Myrtti, what are you building |
| 00:59.46 | Myrtti | lcuk: you'll see :-P |
| 01:00.05 | johnx | and what do you think about the world of X11 window managers? crazy, eh? |
| 01:00.16 | lcuk | well Myrtti i already know what you are doing (jaiku..) i was just lazy and couldnt remember |
| 01:01.13 | lcuk | well for now ive done nothing more than a cursory glance |
| 01:02.23 | johnx | well, did you see anything interesting? |
| 01:02.34 | Myrtti | lcuk: I'll poke you when you can see what I've been doing |
| 01:03.13 | lcuk | lol ok |
| 01:03.25 | lcuk | johnx, i see glimpes |
| 01:03.31 | lcuk | johnx, i see glimpses |

| 01:04.00 | Myrtti | and if I'd be selfish, I could build up shitload of karma with this, but :-P |
| 01:04.45 | johnx | thinking of window layout strategies? |
| 01:04.45 | lcuk | Myrtti, :) go for the glory |
| 01:04.46 | lcuk | well ive already got a decent window layout strategy |
| 01:04.49 | Myrtti | lcuk: nah |
| 01:04.54 | Myrtti | I don't really care |
| 01:04.54 | johnx | sooo, task switching? |
| 01:05.44 | lcuk | not even that so far johnx, just playing |
| 01:06.06 | lcuk | task switching is fine, but that still implies you start and stop applications |

| 01:10.12 | juksuttaja | oh.. |
| 01:10.19 | johnx | :) |
| 01:10.24 | juksuttaja | in that case; |
| 01:10.38 | juksuttaja | do you happen to be familiar with maemo x86 sdk? |
| 01:10.48 | juksuttaja | 'emulator' |
| 01:10.58 | johnx | somewhat, but there are other people on here who are more familiar |
| 01:11.16 | juksuttaja | ok, my problem is most likely quite easy one; |
| 01:11.41 | juksuttaja | 1. i install sdk 4.1.2 according to install.txt |
| 01:11.53 | juksuttaja | 2. everything works fine (i suppose) |
| 01:12.01 | juksuttaja | 3. i install xchat |
| 01:12.14 | juksuttaja | 4. --> unable to connect |
| 01:12.38 | johnx | can you ping from the shell? |
| 01:13.07 | juksuttaja | wget works fine in scratchbox , but i haven't figured out how to open shell in emulator |
| 01:14.42 | johnx | if you can install xchat you should be able to install roxterm or similar |
| 01:14.53 | johnx | I assume you got xchat from extras? |
| 01:15.00 | juksuttaja | yes |
| 01:15.42 | juksuttaja | so roxterm should be visible in emulator after installation - and it's available from maemo.org repositories? |

| 01:25.08 | juksuttaja | so no i can't ping |
| 01:25.54 | juksuttaja | also 'host www.google.com' returned nameserver not running |
| 01:27.16 | juksuttaja | but 'wget www.google.com' works |

| 01:31.27 | Firebird | hmm, how do I step forward the version of a debian package |
| 01:31.41 | juksuttaja | johnx, 'files dns' |
| 01:32.40 | johnx | Firebird, you're making a package? or you want to apt-get upgrade just one package? |
| 01:32.59 | Firebird | making one.. like what do I put in the control or changelog files |
| 01:33.14 | johnx | dch -i |
| 01:33.31 | johnx | just type that in the top directory of the package and it will do the rest |
| 01:33.57 | johnx | if you want to manually specify the version string it's dch -v 0.1-maemo2 |

| 01:35.14 | jaem | I just got my bluetooth-enabled LCD bracelet in the mail today... :D |
| 01:35.54 | jaem | does anyone know if there's a way to open up communications to a HFP BT device from Maemo? e.g. a serial console, or some such thing? |
| 01:37.03 | Firebird | the LED bracelet from thinkgeek? neat |
| 01:37.21 | jaem | Firebird: like that, only better - with a 1x12 char LCD - and cheaper |
| 01:37.29 | Firebird | ah, cool |
| 01:37.36 | jaem | it's on DX for $40 CAD, with free shipping - yay |
| 01:38.01 | jaem | I'm just looking into things... bluez seems to have a lack of easily available docs for the user level |
| 01:38.24 | jaem | I'd like to see if I can get it to display arbitrary strings on the LCD |
| 01:38.32 | johnx | might want to look at hciconfig? |
| 01:38.52 | jaem | johnx: willdo... I was asking because I didn't really know where to start looking ;) |
| 01:39.04 | jaem | unfortunately, I think my desktop's BT dongle died recently |
| 01:39.11 | jaem | piece of junk... >:( |
| 01:39.17 | johnx | yeah, I don't really know either. I have only limited experience with serial bt devices... |
| 01:39.49 | jaem | I hope I can figure out something. It has an LCD, a vibra motor, a button, and BT - there could be some interesting uses |
| 01:40.21 | jaem | also, Hackaday issued a Hackit challenge on the device, and I'd like to have 15 minutes of fame |
| 01:40.37 | jaem | ...and an increase in blog traffic couldn't hurt ;) |
| 01:41.28 | jaem | I had a Skype bot try to pull a 419 scam on me earlier today.. |
| 01:41.41 | jaem | it was actually fairly well done - I was impressed |
| 01:42.16 | jaem | it could answer basic questions, and if I hadn't been me, I might have believed it was real |
| 01:42.47 | johnx | huh, what did it want? |
| 01:43.00 | jaem | the standard advance payment fraud deal |
| 01:43.40 | johnx | so you would have believed the scam was real or that the bot was really a live scammer? |
| 01:43.49 | jaem | the latter |
| 01:44.05 | jaem | in the conversation I had with it, it was reasonably hard to tell |
| 01:44.14 | jaem | but it was slightly too canned to be real |

| 02:02.57 | jaem | ah.. that could be it. I did follow the install instructions to the letter, however |
| 02:03.22 | neatojones | also, lxde (and every other wm) used to crawl for me. I found out that gnome-keyring-daemon has issues with nm-applet |

| 02:03.40 | jaem | I never use gnome-keyring-daemon anyhow |
| 02:03.42 | jaem | I find it annoying |

| 02:03.54 | jaem | I used wifi-radar |

| 05:07.47 | jaem | they make microcontrollers |

| 05:08.46 | jaem | well, they used to use UV-erasable EPROM, and the protection was set by a bitflag in a config word in the main memory |
| 05:08.47 | johnx | (guess I have heard of the product/company now that I think about it) |
| 05:09.13 | jaem | so, some guys figured out where in the physical memory layout that bit was, and flipped it with a UV laser |

| 05:09.39 | johnx | well, then get your UV laser out and get working :P |

| 05:29.28 | jaem | hehe |
| 05:30.16 | jaem | you know, I figure that whether Schroedinger's cat is alive or dead is a stupid question... |
| 05:30.22 | luke-jr | I personally am of the opinion that when a quantum state collapses, God chooses which superposition becomes reality. |
| 05:30.25 | jaem | Schroedinger is dead, and even supposing a cat with nine lives, you'd think it would be dead by now |
| 05:30.55 | jaem | especially if good ol' Erwin repeated the experiment a few times for scientific rigour |
| 05:31.13 | luke-jr | I'm actually somewhat surprised we have two other people in here familiar with quantum stuff. |

| 05:31.52 | luke-jr | johnx: same here, I think |
| 05:32.00 | luke-jr | my interest primarily stemmed from Noein |
| 05:32.02 | jaem | and of course, I read The Guide |
| 05:32.03 | johnx | and/or 'Wikipedia simple English edition tells me everything I need to know' |
| 05:32.08 | jaem | who? |
| 05:32.21 | luke-jr | Noein is an anime revolving around MWI |
| 05:32.24 | johnx | me |
| 05:32.31 | jaem | ah |
| 05:33.07 | luke-jr | the bad guy aims to merge all the various universes back into a single superposition |
| 05:33.24 | luke-jr | basically by destroying everything :p |
| 05:33.34 | johnx | and some high school kids stop him in a giant robot? |
| 05:33.58 | luke-jr | well, some middle school kids stop him from one of their possible futures |
| 05:34.09 | luke-jr | o.O |
| 05:34.16 | jaem | interesting |
| 05:34.19 | johnx | called it |
| 05:34.38 | luke-jr | the bad guy technically exists as 3 different characters |
| 05:34.45 | luke-jr | the middle school version and two of the possible futures |
| 05:35.22 | jaem | have you seen the show Futurama? |
| 05:35.30 | luke-jr | one of his possible futures gets so depressed that he sets out to destroy the multiverse :p |
| 05:35.33 | luke-jr | no |
| 05:35.38 | luke-jr | maybe 1 or 2 episodes years ago |
| 05:35.56 | jaem | it has some interesting things like that. In one episode, they travel to various parallel universes... |
| 05:36.09 | jaem | such as ones where everyone is a bobblehead :P |
| 05:36.14 | luke-jr | O.o |
| 05:36.51 | luke-jr | well, one of the possible futures in Noein had everyone as a superposition dependent on a supercomputer observing them |
| 05:36.58 | luke-jr | eg, the humans could no longer be observers |
| 05:37.03 | jaem | hmm |
| 05:37.05 | jaem | interesting |
| 05:37.11 | jaem | have you seen the movie "Primer"? |
| 05:37.14 | luke-jr | nope :p |
| 05:37.17 | jaem | you might find it interesting |
| 05:37.18 | johnx | primer++ :) |
| 05:37.37 | jaem | it's available on the Internets, of course, but I'm planning on buying the DVD when I have some cash |
| 05:38.02 | jaem | it's about time travel, but it's not your typical fantastical sci-fi |
| 05:38.10 | jaem | it's an independant film, and it's somewhat unconventional |
| 05:38.12 | luke-jr | I don't think I've ever bought information. <.< |
| 05:38.19 | jaem | but interesting, and worth a watch |
| 05:38.50 | johnx | it's entirely self consistent, which is somewhat rare in time travel movies :) |
| 05:39.03 | jaem | well, I can understand that, but the guy quit his job as a software engineer to make a movie, because he wanted to do something different, and spent several years on it, with almost no money, so I figure I owe it to him to buy the DVD |
| 05:39.16 | jaem | johnx: you've seen it, then? |
| 05:39.26 | johnx | yes, repeatedly |
| 05:39.32 | jaem | I need to watch it again |
| 05:39.49 | jaem | it's rather complicated, and the audio being out of sync didn't help my comprehension |
| 05:39.53 | johnx | yeah, it definitely is rewatchable |
| 05:39.58 | luke-jr | jaem: I'd consider buying information if the license was GPL or BSD like |
| 05:40.13 | jaem | fair enough - I balk at buying software |
| 05:40.26 | luke-jr | johnx: Somewhere In Time? |
| 05:40.33 | jaem | but I still might occasionally do so, if there were no alternative, and I felt it was worth it |

| 12:55.51 | RST38x | General: Well, that sounds relatively harmless |
| 12:55.59 | GeneralAntilles | Except for exFAT |
| 12:56.42 | GeneralAntilles | Basically, they let the full 22-bits of memory space be addressed and switched to exFAT. |
| 12:56.55 | GeneralAntilles | Now millions of people are going to have to replace their artificially crippled consumer electronics |

| 12:59.15 | RST38x | Use FAT32 or something |
| 12:59.42 | GeneralAntilles | The good news is that current Linux devices will have no issue using it as long as you switch to something other than exFAT |

| 14:24.35 | Stskeeps | ubuntu? |
| 14:24.36 | Stskeeps | :P |
| 14:24.37 | alterego | ubuntu! |
| 14:24.38 | GeneralAntilles | Not a proprietary Palm wonderland. |
| 14:24.43 | GeneralAntilles | Yes, something like Ubuntu. |
| 14:24.44 | Stskeeps | touch book seems to do that :P |
| 14:24.44 | RST38x | "real applications" = MS Office? =) |
| 14:24.46 | RST38x | cackles |
| 14:24.54 | Stskeeps | GeneralAntilles: Maemo doesn't qualify as real applications? ;) |
| 14:25.10 | alterego | I think we all know the answer to that :P |
| 14:25.12 | GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, I'd go for that, too. |
| 14:25.26 | GeneralAntilles | Stskeeps, but if the manufacturer isn't Nokia, it's not likely to be Maemo. |
| 14:25.32 | GeneralAntilles | So, let's just say "Linux". |
| 14:26.04 | RST38x | Well, I would say Ubuntu Linux |
| 14:26.25 | RST38x | (RedHat and Debian probably also satisfy, but Ubuntu is better) |
| 14:26.51 | alterego | Plus ARM and ubuntu are working together .. |
| 14:27.05 | jumpula | debian. always debian. |
| 14:27.23 | alterego | Ubuntu is debian |
| 14:27.30 | RST38x | notices that if general wants a Linux tablet, there is plenty of MIDs around |
| 14:27.31 | alterego | Just more polished for desktop yes. |
| 14:27.36 | jumpula | it's debian based |
| 14:27.42 | RST38x | Atom based, indeed, but they will run Linux just fine |
| 14:27.44 | jumpula | but definetly not debian |
| 14:27.49 | Jaffa | RST38x: not many cheap or with decent battery life |
| 14:28.00 | alterego | Ubuntu == Debian + Desktopness |
| 14:28.07 | Jaffa | (unless I missed one) |
| 14:28.12 | GeneralAntilles | RST38x, I didn't say tablet. |
| 14:28.17 | GeneralAntilles | RST38x, I said netbook. |
| 14:28.30 | RST38x | Jaffa: Well, a recent trip to the local electrnics market has shown at least 3-4 bearable ones |
| 14:28.36 | GeneralAntilles | I also said ARM-based. |
| 14:28.38 | jumpula | ubuntu = something like debian, but more unstable |
| 14:28.39 | RST38x | General: even easier to find |

| 14:28.55 | GeneralAntilles | RST38x, so, please, go re-read the scrollback before you start proposing solutions. ;) |
| 14:29.26 | RST38x | General: No, I understood your initial request, but if you just need a netbook with Linux, won't an Atom one be sufficient? |
| 14:29.42 | RST38x | General: Given that the software is portable between them |
| 14:29.51 | GeneralAntilles | RST38x, I'm getting one of those. |
| 14:29.58 | RST38x | ah |
| 14:30.07 | RST38x | They do make it to 5-6 hours, some of them |
| 14:30.24 | GeneralAntilles | But what I SAID was that I'd be interested to see what a real manufacturer would come up with in the way of an ARM-based netbook running Linux. |
| 14:30.39 | *** join/#maemo thopiekar (n=Thomas@p57A13DAF.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 14:30.49 | GeneralAntilles | So, while Atom-based tablets and netbooks are really just wonderful suggestions, they really don't apply here. :) |
| 14:31.53 | RST38x | Yea |
| 14:32.30 | RST38x | does suspect that the more important point isn't how the device will look (it will look the same as atom one) but how energy efficient it is |
| 14:32.42 | RST38x | And that depends on the OS supplier rather than manufacturer |
| 14:33.23 | RST38x | On the other hand you get 3-4 times less hardware (physically), so you get more options on how it will look |
| 14:33.33 | roope | well, it's relevant if you want to keep it running and online all the time. |

| 14:33.44 | roope | otherwise current laptops already work well. |
| 14:34.12 | Jaffa | Big, heavy, slow to go in & out of standby. |
| 14:34.25 | ShadowJK | Aren't there a few doing arm based netbooks? (sorry if this is redundant, didn't read back yet) |
| 14:34.30 | roope | a macbook for instance. |
| 14:34.49 | Jaffa | roope: ok, a macbook might be nicer. Unfortunately, can't convince work to buy me one |
| 14:34.58 | Jaffa | So I've got another Dell (yesterday, nice screen) |
| 14:35.15 | roope | mac resistance is a bit funny, we also have it. |
| 14:35.35 | roope | especially once you can just install windows or linux on it. |
| 14:35.45 | GeneralAntilles | ShadowJK, no, not really. |
| 14:36.02 | GeneralAntilles | ShadowJK, it kinda depends on your definition of netbook, and how far you want to go back. |
| 14:36.05 | Jaffa | wouldn't mind OS X (all I'm running most of the time is Firefox, Eclipse, MySQL and... Outlook :-/) |
| 14:36.15 | GeneralAntilles | ShadowJK, but the only Cortex A8-based thing is the Touch Book. |
| 14:36.18 | roope | OS X is pretty nice. |
| 14:36.29 | GeneralAntilles | roope, laptops are big and nasty. |
| 14:36.35 | GeneralAntilles | roope, Macbooks aren't any better. |
| 14:36.43 | suihkulokki | A arm-based netbook could easily weight half of asus eeepc, be half thinner and still have same screen/keyboard size and batteries that last many times longer than eee |
| 14:37.01 | RST38x | Jaffa: My Toshiba is not heavy and not big |
| 14:37.13 | RST38x | Jaffa: And it goes off standby in ~30 seconds |
| 14:37.20 | ShadowJK | It's funny that the same thing is happening to atom that happened to centrino |
| 14:37.21 | suihkulokki | and (also not be unbearably hot when kept on lap) |
| 14:37.23 | GeneralAntilles | suihkulokki, personally, I'd rather it be the same size and filled with batteries. :D |
| 14:37.29 | RST38x | Shadow: ? |
| 14:37.40 | ShadowJK | When centrino was new, battery life was superb, then it degraded to the 2-3 hours again |
| 14:37.42 | Jaffa | RST38x: 30 seconds falls into *my* definition of "slow" |
| 14:37.43 | roope | 3-4 hours for a macbook is rather ok for me. |
| 14:37.56 | ShadowJK | And now we're seeing atom laptops with 2-3 hour battery life :P |
| 14:37.58 | roope | it sleeps and wakes up pretty much instant. |
| 14:38.24 | RST38x | Jaffa: Well, I switch it rarely enough to not consider it a problem |
| 14:38.39 | RST38x | Jaffa: And it ran for 8 hours off its batteries when they were new |
| 14:38.40 | ShadowJK | So that touchbook thing seems awesome if they've stuffed the keyboard part full of batteries |
| 14:38.53 | GeneralAntilles | roope, I dunno how people put up with Windows' godawful hibernation behaviors. |
| 14:38.54 | RST38x | ah |
| 14:39.11 | roope | ga: yes, it's bad. |
| 14:39.17 | ShadowJK | and of course olpc/xo suspends/resumes so fast they do it all the time.. |
| 14:39.25 | GeneralAntilles | roope, but the formfactor I'm looking for is ~9" screen. |
| 14:39.38 | Jaffa | can't pre-order a touch book anyway |
| 14:39.46 | roope | yeah, the no mans land. |
| 14:39.54 | ShadowJK | can't pre-order either :-( |
| 14:40.12 | GeneralAntilles | The OMAP3640 is just passing the performance threshold to really be a laptop replacement. |
| 14:40.15 | RST38x | Jaffa,Shadow: Rejoice yourself remembering Pandora |
| 14:40.27 | Jaffa | RST38x: well, a "pre-order notification send no money now" |
| 14:40.41 | GeneralAntilles | Slap an OMAP3640 in a Dell Mini 9 or HP Mini 1000 and you're golden. |

| 16:01.06 | RST38h | General: People do not really care abut such details. As long as it is clear what entity they mean, it isn;t worth a flame |
| 16:01.19 | dneary | lcuk: No - it's the Council for the Maemo Community |
| 16:01.30 | RST38h | If it is unclear - ask them to clarify which will give them a much better lesson than flaming them |

| 16:02.13 | lcuk | is more confuddled than ever |
| 16:02.29 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, the Community Council governs the Maemo Community and maemo.org. |
| 16:02.31 | RST38h | feeds lcuk a huge orange |
| 16:02.31 | johnx_ | lcuk, it governs none or both :) |
| 16:02.32 | dneary | lcuk: The Maemo Community Council represents the Maemo Community |
| 16:02.35 | GeneralAntilles | It DOES NOT govern Maemo. |
| 16:02.48 | lcuk | no dneary, i hear different people talk about different facets of maemo every day and it does my nut in, clarity of what a person is standing for is important |
| 16:03.11 | dneary | lcuk: I agree with you, right now the boundaries & branding are unclear |
| 16:03.13 | GeneralAntilles | _Maemo_ is governed by Nokia. |
| 16:03.18 | Jaffa | lcuk: As dneary says - the Council governs nothing, but has made decisions (like debmaster) which Nokia - as sponsor - have abided by. |
| 16:03.39 | Stskeeps | when mer matures sufficiently i hope council would govern mer :P |
| 16:03.44 | dneary | And made unclearer by certain individuals (ahem GA ahem) insisting with absolute certainty certain positions |
| 16:03.45 | Stskeeps | in one way or the other |
| 16:03.56 | dneary | which are anything but obvious |
| 16:03.59 | GeneralAntilles | Most of the confusion crops up from people being unable to separate the old branding from the new branding. |
| 16:04.08 | dneary | GeneralAntilles: Not really |
| 16:04.32 | dneary | Much of the confusion crops up from people being entrenched in conflicting positions |
| 16:05.01 | dneary | For example, I think that Nokia is a prominent party in Maemo, not our governor and overlord |
| 16:05.10 | dneary | And I think Quim would agree with me there |
| 16:05.16 | dneary | But you clearly disagree |

| 16:06.29 | dneary | As much as this is fun :) |
| 16:07.08 | GeneralAntilles | See, it's not a "community" project. |
| 16:07.15 | GeneralAntilles | It's a Nokia software platform. |
| 16:07.22 | Jaffa | dneary: I suspect such a position *could* be partially motivated by political positioning on how Maemo has been developed (wanting to appear open, on top of GNOME, Gtk+, GStreamer, Mozilla, Linux) etc. "Maemo" as anything vaguely definable in a software way is entirely owned and governed and run by Nokia. |
| 16:08.19 | GeneralAntilles | If it were a community project, we'd be able to use the Maemo trademark for community applications and services. |
| 16:08.30 | Jaffa | would *love* to see Maemo developed as an open system; and bits of it are. But, realistically, Maemo - as a software product - is Nokia owned, and Nokia run. The Maemo community, etc. are of course adifferent matter. |
| 16:08.32 | GeneralAntilles | But take, for example, maemoapps.org |
| 16:08.49 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: Well, even community projects get into trademark things, like Mozilla. |
| 16:10.35 | lbt | what do people use for screenshots? |
| 16:11.00 | lbt | http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/screen-grabber/ is chinook |

| 16:11.39 | vasily_pupkin | what do people use for wpa_supplicant? |
| 16:11.45 | Jaffa | lbt: mh-shot-tool |
| 16:12.22 | dneary | Jaffa: And GNOME |
| 16:12.53 | dneary | Jaffa: Lots of community projects spend a lot of energy figuring out what is acceptable & unacceptable usage of their marks |
| 16:13.01 | lbt | Jaffa: that helps |
| 16:13.21 | dneary | And Peter, from the little I talked to him, was acting in good faith, to ensure that the Maemo mark was as unconfusing as possible |
| 16:13.36 | dneary | So if there's stuff you feel you should be able to do that you feel you can't ask why |
| 16:13.50 | dneary | Maybe there's a good reason the guidelines are the way they are |
| 16:14.08 | dneary | It would be better than setting the whole debate up framed in "us vs them" |
| 16:14.08 | Jaffa | has no qualm with the trademark guidelines or the branding. |
| 16:14.20 | Jaffa | I think they're perfectly clear and straightforward :) |

| 16:15.20 | Jaffa | recognises Nokia's right to own the Maemo trademark. I don't care about that (apart from helping other people understand it as well) |
| 16:15.24 | dneary | It always ends up sounding to me like "Maemo is controlled by Nokia, and the Maemo Community is us poor hackers." |

| 16:16.05 | dneary | Honestly, I believe that Nokia wans co-control of Maemo between Nokia and the non-Nokia part of the community |
| 16:16.15 | dneary | They're just not sure how to do that, who to talk to, etc. |
| 16:16.21 | dneary | That's what the Council helps with |
| 16:16.50 | Jaffa | dneary: That's fine, but we're not there yet. So, it's still sensible to talk about Maemo being owned, controlled and run by Nokia <shrug/> |

| 16:25.24 | GeneralAntilles | Currently we're mixing numbers from 2 years ago with numbers from 6 months ago. |
| 16:25.41 | dneary | GeneralAntilles: Degradable karma's hard to do |
| 16:25.43 | Jaffa | GeneralAntilles: I'd still like a half-life system, but that'd require a massive rewrite it seems. |
| 16:25.45 | johnx_ | Jaffa, yeah, there are some somewhat conflicting short-term goals, which is why I'm more or less happy that Nokia is taking the long view even though it sometimes doesn't earn them friends... |
| 16:25.55 | lbt | thopiekar: I'm adding a screenshot |
| 16:25.57 | dneary | Jaffa: Not a massive rewrite |
| 16:25.58 | Jaffa | dneary: It's not hard to do intrinsically; it's just hard to do with our current implementation. |
| 16:26.05 | thopiekar | aah |
| 16:26.08 | lbt | 0.5.5 is in extras now :) |
| 16:26.13 | dneary | It's just that much of the stuff we measure doesn't really have datestamps |
| 16:26.14 | GeneralAntilles | Some things are scaling linearly (discussion points, bugzilla) while others aren't (itT, wiki) |
| 16:26.43 | Jaffa | dneary: see, that's my point - you're thinking around it with the wrong architecture. |
| 16:26.55 | dneary | We're already bridging 4 or 5 different application databases (midgard, bugzilla, itt, mediawiki, mailman, ...) |
| 16:27.19 | dneary | Jaffa: Degrading karma implies timestamped stuff |
| 16:27.33 | Jaffa | dneary: Don't try and work out what timestamp things are, just work out the difference between today's karma and the karma already in the database. Multiply existing value by degradation factor, then add on new one. |
| 16:27.52 | Jaffa | s/new one/new bit |
| 16:28.09 | dneary | Jaffa: Let's do that mentally for a couple of days... |
| 16:28.26 | dneary | Jaffa: Today: 1020. Yesterday: 1000 |
| 16:28.49 | dneary | 1000*0.99 = 990 + 20 -> new karma 1010 |
| 16:29.09 | Jaffa | OK, there's also an assumption you don't double count things. |
| 16:29.15 | dneary | Now, next day, we measure all the karma stuff, and get 1030 |
| 16:29.28 | dneary | Do we have 10 new karma or 20? |
| 16:29.54 | Jaffa | Implement hashing of resources so things don't get double counted, and no delta necessary then. |
| 16:30.06 | dneary | I can see how it would be possible, with a baseline |
| 16:30.21 | dneary | Here goes (thinking out loud): |

| 16:31.29 | dneary | Measure karma tomorrow (with no degratation) |
| 16:31.34 | dneary | delta = 15 |

| 16:33.03 | dneary | To calculate displayed karma, or adjusted karma, or whatever you want to call it, you value karma from N days ago at K*0.999^N |
| 16:33.33 | dneary | But that needs some hacking in the database & a bunch of places in midgard |
| 16:33.48 | Jaffa | dneary: hell, don't even store the deltas - just store the absolute values and, as you say, calculate displayed/adjusted karma either in batch or on-demand. |

| 16:39.07 | lcuk | technically isnt it "easier" for a database to store just the individual karma pieces and run a query to arrange that data |
| 16:39.13 | Jaffa | tomorrow: c=1020, a=(1000*0.99)+(1020-1000) = 1010 |
| 16:39.51 | lcuk | ie: for slashdot i can go back to the database from ~2000 and see individual comment moderation figures which effect my karma today |

| 19:38.17 | Sho_ | Regarding Qt's preprocessor, it's used to implement useful things that make the toolkit's API significantly more convenient. And at the time it was conceived, there was no other viable way of doing it. That said, Qt has never used the preprocessor in an attempt to do lock-in - it generally interoperates well with the STL, and you're e.g. free to use boost's template-based signals-and-slots instead of Qt's preprocessor-based ones (the template route wasn't viable back |

| 19:57.25 | guysoft42 | i had to give in an assignment a few weeks ago for c++ in university, we were told to build a constructor and validate the input given to it.. so natrualy i found i had to use an exception for that - since you carn't return anything from a constructor.. aprently its not included in the course.. so you can imagine all the people leaning it would not know that untill later. might be too late by then |
| 19:58.07 | derf | RST38h: There were very few of these when I gave up on C++ completely (around 2000). Now every other kid wants to use all this boost crap, which I do not consider an improvement. |

| 20:05.56 | derf | Personally I don't like to write plumbing. But there is a _huge_ market for it. |
| 20:05.59 | Sho_ | Perl programmers, of course, go through two phases: In phase I, nobody can read their code, because they don't know the language. In phase II, nobody can read their code, because they know the language. |
| 20:06.01 | RST38h | Well, that is mainly a function of agressivness in marketing |
| 20:06.09 | GeneralAntilles | Isn't there a #c++ or something this can go to? |
| 20:06.18 | derf | It's not the year 2000. If all they were was marketing, they wouldn't be here anymore. |
| 20:06.18 | lcuk | derf, yeah and most of that business logic is held up with data access so no matter the performance level it doesnt matter |
| 20:06.27 | RST38h | General: They probably ban for that =) |
| 20:06.28 | derf | lcuk: Exactly. |
| 20:06.36 | GeneralAntilles | I'm all for offtopic, but you've monopolized the channel for almost an hour now and it's time to move on. |
| 20:06.37 | derf | Java is not a good language for performance, but it doesn't matter. |
| 20:06.40 | lcuk | thats why visual basic works |
| 20:06.51 | RST38h | VB no longer works, replaced with C# |
| 20:06.53 | lcuk | same principle |

| 20:07.47 | derf | Though at least RST38h was cogent and did not attack me personally. |
| 20:07.52 | RST38h | Sho: I kinda hoped for some original entertainment |
| 20:08.11 | RST38h | derf: Attacking opponent personally is considered loss |
| 20:08.14 | Sho_ | RST38h: and I always fall into the anti-preprocessor flame trap ;-) |

| 21:15.09 | neatojones | b-man: it will also have the advantages that it will update to the latest svn anytime the user wants if they install a package which I will link to. |
| 21:15.19 | neatojones | and hopefully prevent the other problems. |

| 21:15.44 | neatojones | but, that's about all I can think to do for now, till I can find a way to get fix whatever is going wrong. |
| 21:15.49 | lcuk | mine stays up for much longer normally |
| 21:15.52 | lcuk | but today it didnt |
| 21:16.05 | b-man | ok :) |
| 21:16.29 | neatojones | turns out the entire e17 folder is only 52MB extracted. :0 |
| 21:17.00 | b-man | heh |
| 21:17.31 | b-man | neatojones: should i wait a little longer before i upload it to the repo? |
| 21:17.35 | neatojones | So, I'm reflashing the SD with 0.9 now to test the theory. |
| 21:17.43 | neatojones | Nah. The e17 debs work. |
| 21:17.57 | b-man | k |
| 21:18.08 | neatojones | They just don't have an onscreen keyboard. Some of the extra modules haven't been built yet either. |
| 21:18.18 | neatojones | but, it functions. |
| 21:18.29 | luke-jr | I uses 'sox -t alsa default z.wav' to record some audio; any idea how I can play it? |
| 21:18.37 | luke-jr | or did I not record anything really? |
| 21:18.45 | neatojones | Also, the background has those annoying horizontal lines you can see in qole's screenshots. |
| 21:18.48 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, big issue? |
| 21:19.29 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Nah, just need help from Marcell or Stefano. But I guess they have better things to do on a Friday night ;) |
| 21:19.34 | neatojones | b-man: I'm going to try to build e17 again later with support for evas-software--16bit-X11 and see if that fixes it. |
| 21:19.49 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, can't you just get a hash and feed it the repo? |
| 21:19.59 | b-man | neatojones: ok |
| 21:20.05 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Then the hash will be in every log ;) |
| 21:20.13 | GeneralAntilles | Ah |
| 21:20.14 | neatojones | There is something not happening with the deb builds compared to the manual build |
| 21:20.16 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Hence the local repo ;) |
| 21:20.24 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, did you set up a local? |
| 21:20.50 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Well no, I need the files to set it up on the builder. |
| 21:20.56 | b-man | neatojones: do you think editing /debian/rules might help? |
| 21:21.01 | neatojones | b-man: also, the e17 depends on the libgtk2.0 that is in the Mer repo. So, you might want it too |
| 21:21.06 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, just copy 'em over? |
| 21:21.29 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Firewall, hidden stuff. |
| 21:21.34 | neatojones | b-man: It might. I've been looking into it. I've played with the control files and the e17-data.install file as well. |
| 21:21.58 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, yeah, OK, I'll shut up. You clearly know WTF is what. :D |
| 21:21.59 | neatojones | the log from the build looks like the keyboard files should be there...but they dont end up in the package. I don't get it. |
| 21:22.26 | b-man | it might have something to do with MakeFile also |
| 21:22.40 | GeneralAntilles | X-Fade, don't tell me we're gonna have to wait 'til Monday, though? |
| 21:22.51 | neatojones | I would think the makefile would be the same if I used dpkg-buildpackage or just make |
| 21:23.16 | X-Fade | GeneralAntilles: Nah, but it won't be today probably. |
| 21:24.35 | neatojones | ..sigh. I'll get it figured out eventually. I just need other people to test and try it who might be able to figure it out. |
| 21:25.09 | neatojones | b-man: Like I said, it is functional...but just missing some of the best features. |
| 21:25.51 | b-man | it might have different settings |
| 21:26.43 | b-man | i'll upload the debs then and then update them when you get those fixed :) |

| 21:48.33 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, um, "back"? |
| 21:48.40 | GeneralAntilles | lcuk, you haven't seen the task switched |
| 21:48.46 | GeneralAntilles | That's just the Application Menu. |
| 21:48.51 | GeneralAntilles | Where you launch applications from. |
| 21:49.36 | GeneralAntilles | Anyway, applications on Maemo don't use the Windows style of window management. |
| 21:50.19 | lcuk | didnt suggest it did, just looks out of place being where it is |

| 22:14.40 | beneditoNeto1 | please anyone help me |
| 22:14.43 | yerga | Jaffa, imho yes |
| 22:14.54 | Jaffa | beneditoNeto1: you don't, you just use dpkg -i from the cli |
| 22:15.04 | beneditoNeto1 | no |
| 22:15.42 | Jaffa | beneditoNeto1: h-a-m is just a GUI front end to apt and dpkg |
| 22:16.19 | semente | qwerty12_N800: I see that passwords are in plain text. :-/ |

| 22:18.50 | beneditoNeto1 | jaffa: In the case my application had to execute this command |

| 22:25.19 | yerga | in hildon-desktop code |

| 22:25.58 | yerga | it has hardcoded the applications will be in the first screen of the menu |
