| 00:35.53 | lcukx41 | thats not a win, thats a massive fail |
| 00:36.04 | endorphinum | i am a massive fail ! |
| 00:36.05 | lcukx41 | actually i want the keyboard electrified and games turning off |
| 00:36.12 | lcukx41 | cos its the kids that screw around with it |
| 00:36.18 | lcukx41 | endorphinum, nahhh |
| 00:36.23 | lcukx41 | you cant be any worse than me |
| 00:36.28 | endorphinum | trbs: :D |
| 00:36.40 | endorphinum | nah nah! I am the biggest fail of all fails ! |
| 00:36.51 | lcukx41 | i cant believe i managed to enter the password correct and can seemingly type on this keyboard |
| 00:37.11 | endorphinum | i cant believe i managed to type and read at the same time ! |
| 00:37.12 | derf | The problem I have is my laptop beeps on startup before the local initscript runs that rmmods pcspkr. |
| 00:37.15 | lcukx41 | but thats cos im concentrating and cannot move hands off anyway cos ive got no mouse and i hate touching artificial nipples |
| 00:37.29 | javispedro | sighs |
| 00:37.30 | lcukx41 | derf, thats not a problem |
| 00:37.40 | lcukx41 | its just backspace makes it go BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP |
| 00:37.43 | derf | Well, I think my final solution was to rm -f pcspkr. |
| 00:37.45 | lcukx41 | when line empty |
| 00:37.54 | lcukx41 | i normally go with hardware mods |
| 00:37.55 | derf | pcspkr.ko, that is. |
| 00:38.08 | lcukx41 | i wouldnt mind it was more reasonable |
| 00:38.19 | derf | Well, there's also this thing called "visual bell". |
| 00:38.36 | lcukx41 | is that a picture of george bush? |
| 00:38.37 | endorphinum | Let me start where i finished this afternoon: anyone in here owning a n810 and willing to test out the latest mojocafe site ? |
| 00:38.42 | derf | Although that can have its own annoyances if implemented poorly. |
| 00:38.59 | LiraNuna | <derf> Well, there's also this thing called "visual bell". < that's even more horrible than PC speaker |
| 00:39.07 | javispedro | endorphinum, I have one, but what do you want to test? |
| 00:39.10 | lcukx41 | does it blind you |
| 00:39.26 | endorphinum | javi: http://m.mojocafe.net |
| 00:39.29 | lcukx41 | mojocafe is a site of flash widgets |
| 00:39.31 | LiraNuna | it can trigger epileptic seizure |
| 00:39.31 | lcukx41 | very nice idea |
| 00:39.45 | LiraNuna | Either your screenresolution could not be detected or your gadget screen size is not supported by the MOJOCAFE. |
| 00:39.48 | LiraNuna | wtf |
| 00:39.56 | LiraNuna | it can't detect 1920x1080? |
| 00:39.56 | endorphinum | javi: enter 31-nlft as code |
| 00:39.58 | LiraNuna | fail. |
| 00:40.04 | lcukx41 | why enter a code |
| 00:40.06 | luke-jr | endorphinum: Flash = fail |
| 00:40.11 | derf | Well, the problem I've had with visual bell is not the flashing, but that in some implementations it will freeze all input for multiple seconds if you accidentally hold down a key too long. |
| 00:40.15 | endorphinum | Lira: LOL - you have to check it with your mobile device |
| 00:40.16 | javispedro | ah, so I better enable flash |
| 00:40.22 | derf | But whatever I'm using now doesn't do that. |
| 00:40.28 | lcukx41 | endorphinum, my laptop is a mobile device |
| 00:40.33 | lcukx41 | it has 3g broadbnd |
| 00:40.35 | LiraNuna | endorphinum, never seen a laptop with 1920x1080? |
| 00:40.42 | endorphinum | luke: i know, i had that discussion allready one year ago. But as no one else developed something similiar i am still depending on Flash :( |
| 00:40.43 | derf | I can't remember if that's because I configured it properly at some point, or it just didn't suck to begin with. |
| 00:40.56 | luke-jr | endorphinum: nonsense |
| 00:40.59 | lcukx41 | endorphinum, :) liqbase |
| 00:41.09 | javispedro | "Playlist created by John Doe" |
| 00:41.28 | endorphinum | lcukx: yeah, but the service is mainly mentioned for small mobile devices :D .... gear <= netbooks |
| 00:41.44 | endorphinum | javi: do you see the full screen clocks ? |
| 00:41.46 | lcukx41 | but whats up with lettin it be seen.usd on bigger |
| 00:41.50 | lcukx41 | is it illegal |
| 00:41.51 | javispedro | yeah |
| 00:41.56 | javispedro | well |
| 00:42.02 | luke-jr | lcukx41: liqbase is not an alternative for Flash |
| 00:42.04 | LiraNuna | anyone saw/used N900 yet |
| 00:42.06 | javispedro | it just disappeared |
| 00:42.08 | lcukx41 | luke-jr, why not |
| 00:42.12 | endorphinum | javi: thanks a lot. sounds better then i thought. |
| 00:42.12 | lcukx41 | it has vectors and code |
| 00:42.13 | javispedro | and now it says "Spicing up your device" |
| 00:42.18 | lcukx41 | and can do pretty much anyw=thing |
| 00:42.27 | lcukx41 | oh, and its better than flash :P |
| 00:42.34 | endorphinum | javi: doesnt it stop ? it should only play the clocks |
| 00:42.34 | lcukx41 | cos it can do fullscreen tear free updating ;) |
| 00:42.35 | javispedro | endorphinum: there are scroll bars though |
| 00:42.51 | luke-jr | endorphinum: there is nothing Flash can do that ECMAscript cannot |
| 00:42.52 | javispedro | it seems you used 800x480 res but the browser window is a bit smaller because of toolbars |
| 00:43.00 | luke-jr | lcukx41: it lacks browser support |
| 00:43.06 | endorphinum | javi: i know. you have to change it manually into full screen. i am still too dumb to develop a browser app for maemo :( |
| 00:43.14 | lcukx41 | luke-jr, then write a browser in it ffs |
| 00:43.22 | luke-jr | endorphinum: also, assuming users have their browser maximized = fail |
| 00:43.25 | lcukx41 | you are thinking the wrong way round ;) |
| 00:43.33 | javispedro | endorphinum, not only that, but disabling toolbar when fullscreen |
| 00:43.33 | endorphinum | luke-jr: can ECMAscript assimilate with my brain so that i develop the whole project within 48 hours for maemo ? |
| 00:43.34 | endorphinum | :D |
| 00:43.37 | LiraNuna | instead of scaling up, why don't you scale down? |
| 00:43.44 | lcukx41 | LiraNuna, i am |
| 00:43.45 | luke-jr | endorphinum: Qt could ;) |
| 00:43.49 | javispedro | with that, it fills the screen nicely, no scrollbars. |
| 00:43.50 | lcukx41 | #all liqbase stuff is standalone apps |
| 00:44.03 | lcukx41 | go see the onedotzeroa= app i just got to see myself today |

| 00:44.51 | endorphinum | you ppl can not imagine how desperatyl i would like to develop a framework based on the "standard" browser but realy... MY BRAIN IS JUST AS SMALL AS MY JINGLE BELLS ARE.... doh *crying* |

| 02:27.33 | usul | top row of keys on n900 looks pressable |
| 02:27.42 | usul | but it's close |
| 02:27.57 | ShadowJK | had completely forgotten about top row on n810 |

| 02:28.12 | ShadowJK | I guess it just took a few weeks to get used to it |
| 02:28.36 | ShadowJK | luke-jr, alot of people push on the bottom screen bezel when trying to hit the top row |

| 02:28.48 | luke-jr | I just showed someone my Zaurus SL-C760 the other day. Even after I've grown used to the N810's kb, the Zaurus one is still like a dream in comparison |

| 04:34.18 | johnx | sure as heck wasn't last minute :) |
| 04:34.52 | lcukx41 | i was asked recently and as you know ive been building the liqbase engine all along |

| 04:35.33 | lcukx41 | and the hardware on the n900 makes it even better |
| 04:35.39 | lcukx41 | the accelerometer is amaxing |

| 04:43.46 | lcukx41 | its good, but not that good lol |
| 04:44.06 | lcukx41 | the display is written in processing |

| 04:44.40 | johnx | aaah, so the control point part is liq* and the display part is all processing? |
| 04:44.52 | lcukx41 | and it will be using some heckabeefy quadcore jobbies |

| 09:17.09 | RST38h | lbt: Yes but is there point in that? |

| 09:17.44 | RST38h | andre: the quesiton is though: will harmattan still use clutter? |
| 09:17.55 | lbt | RST38h: the point is choice really |
| 09:17.58 | andre | don't know... |
| 09:18.15 | lcukx41 | it may still be a viable backend because it nicely handles talking to gles |
| 09:18.16 | RST38h | lbt: Screw choice, the point is consistent software platform |

| 09:18.38 | andre | if http://www.clutter-project.org/docs/clutter/unstable/building-clutter.html is still correct |
| 09:18.50 | lbt | RST38h: change is hard. Deal with it. |
| 09:18.53 | RST38h | lbt: generally, it is not a good idea to pull whatever framework you see into your system |

| 09:19.26 | thp | RST38h: well, it is a good idea if the alternative is to reinvent the wheel |
| 09:19.31 | RST38h | lbt: exactyly |
| 09:19.57 | RST38h | thp: If I understand things correctly, Qt offers some 3D framework on its own |
| 09:20.05 | lbt | yes - openGL |
| 09:20.32 | lcukx41 | so does gtk - it has 3d borders on boxes! :D :p |
| 09:20.36 | lbt | and it can use GL as the native 2D rendering engine too |
| 09:20.42 | RST38h | Does Clutter offer anything on top of OpenGL? I have looked at some Clutter examples and left unimpressed |
| 09:20.43 | lbt | <grin> lcukx41 |

| 09:21.08 | lcukx41 | i always expected wow effects in visual basic when i selected bordertype 3d |
| 09:21.09 | lbt | that uses GL to get speed |
| 09:21.21 | RST38h | lbt: But you can do the same by writing a few functions using OpenGL, can't you? |
| 09:21.26 | lbt | yes |
| 09:21.31 | lbt | but openGL is hard |

| 09:34.52 | gomiam | lbt: support, at most :P |
| 09:35.10 | RST38h | lbt: I have got the most GPL software on the planet! |
| 09:35.27 | RST38h | lbt: And a powerful search engine to find it, at www.google.com! |
| 09:35.29 | lbt | RST38h: so you're not very focused then |
| 09:35.29 | gomiam | RST38h: and what you don't have you can get :D |
| 09:35.42 | gomiam | lbt: RST38h is very focused... on money :D |
| 09:36.10 | RST38h | lbt: On the contrary, we have got multiple departments, each focused on a separate class of GPL software |
| 09:36.24 | RST38h | lbt: What kind of GPL software would you like to acquire today? |
| 09:37.02 | lbt | contact management SW that links my N900 contact DB to my openLDAP inetOrgPerson one |
| 09:37.19 | lbt | since you ask |

| 09:41.16 | lcukx41 | lbt, :) i like the idea of commissioning open source software |

| 09:41.42 | lcukx41 | is your ldap stuff existing already |

| 09:44.14 | lbt | lcukx41: I've held off on the ldap idea for now |
| 09:44.21 | RST38h | There isn't any money in open source software, unless you take somebody else's open source software, repackage and sell it (see Redhat, etc) |
| 09:44.30 | lcukx41 | lbt, the principle is there tho |
| 09:44.33 | lbt | RST38h: not true!! |
| 09:44.40 | lbt | lcukx41: yes indeed |
| 09:44.49 | RST38h | lbt: Support business model does not work, sorry |
| 09:45.01 | lbt | RST38h: the biggest OSS revenue space is consulting/bespoke installations |

| 09:46.31 | lbt | reliable revenue OTOH |
| 09:46.47 | RST38h | lbt: OSS support revenue is neither big nor reliable |
| 09:46.55 | lbt | OSS is part of a service model |
| 09:46.55 | wazd | RST38h: http://content.foto.mail.ru/mail/wi/_blogs/i-79.jpg |
| 09:47.04 | RST38h | lbt: Because at any moment of time somebody else can take your product and start supporting it |
| 09:47.05 | lbt | OSS support is a vague term |
| 09:47.12 | lbt | yes, they can |
| 09:47.28 | lbt | so people are paying for *your* support.... and if you suck... tough |
| 09:47.50 | lbt | however the value you offer can be very very high |

| 09:50.59 | lbt | yes, he paid with his soul |

| 09:51.57 | lbt | you present me with a win-lose scenario |

| 09:52.14 | lbt | I'm not arguing that it doesn't work |
| 09:52.14 | RST38h | lbt: I present you with a scenario where YOU, the developer win |
| 09:52.23 | lbt | just that it isn't optimum |
| 09:52.23 | RST38h | lbt: Let us now consider the OSS alternative |
| 09:52.43 | lbt | OSS is not about software |
| 09:52.55 | lbt | it is about service |
| 09:52.57 | RST38h | lbt: You give software for free but charge for support. First of all, you will notice that in order ot make as much money as in the first case, you have to charge MORE for support. |
| 09:53.07 | lbt | and that is where you miss the entire point |
| 09:53.08 | jrocha | RST38h, if you charge for support AND for the source, your users number is likely to be lower than if you just give away the source code |
| 09:53.12 | RST38h | lbt: Yes, we are talking 'service" now. Support is service. |
| 09:53.14 | lbt | no-one buys software |
| 09:53.21 | RST38h | lbt: really? :) |
| 09:53.24 | lbt | they buy functionality and service |
| 09:53.34 | _berto_ | well, I'm as a costumer don't like the idea of depending solely on the author to give support to a particular piece of software |
| 09:53.35 | RST38h | Ok, let me finish with concrete example first ok? |
| 09:53.38 | lbt | no, printing a memo is service |
| 09:53.42 | RST38h | THEN we will talk about service |
| 09:53.44 | lbt | or writing a report |
| 09:53.51 | lbt | they are services |
| 09:53.58 | RST38h | you think so but not the customer |
| 09:54.04 | *** join/#maemo usul (n=Muad@p54B2D064.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 09:54.10 | lbt | no, the customer thinks so too |
| 09:54.15 | RST38h | Customer buys a product. In a box. The product does something for him. |
| 09:54.19 | lbt | they usually specify software |
| 09:54.25 | lbt | but they want a service |
| 09:54.37 | RST38h | lbt: You are leading discussion in a different direction |
| 09:54.42 | _berto_ | a product + a dependency on the vendor |
| 09:54.44 | lbt | yes, i know |
| 09:54.49 | RST38h | lbt: So let me shortcut to that example again |
| 09:54.52 | lbt | that's because the economic model of OSS |
| 09:54.58 | lbt | is not boxes of SW |
| 09:55.00 | jrocha | RST38h, if you're software is open, you'll get a large number of users and you'll be able to offer support to those interested, and unless you screw up big time, customers will always prefer the support from the person who wrote the software and knows it better than anyone |
| 09:55.06 | lbt | it is provision of business services |
| 09:55.13 | RST38h | lbt: And just summarize for you that "free software, paid support" model does not work because you no longer have exclusivity as support provider |
| 09:55.16 | lbt | in a way that lets the business win |
| 09:55.28 | lbt | software is for the benefit of the developers |
| 09:55.28 | RST38h | lbt: so, neither reliable big revenue stream |
| 09:55.30 | jrocha | RST38h, yes it works! |
| 09:55.45 | RST38h | lbt: Ok, now your "service" stuff |
| 09:55.52 | lbt | your arguments all focus on the benefit to the SW developer |
| 09:56.00 | RST38h | lbt: Of course |
| 09:56.04 | lbt | which is where you fail |
| 09:56.09 | RST38h | lbt: Because I am a sw developer |
| 09:56.11 | _berto_ | the garage when they repair my car don't have exclusivity as support provider either |
| 09:56.13 | glass_ | theres no saying that the guy who wrote the sw knows it better than someone else |
| 09:56.14 | lbt | yes I know |
| 09:56.19 | lbt | this is the problem |
| 09:56.23 | _berto_ | s/when/where/ |
| 09:56.26 | RST38h | lbt: That I am a software devloper? |
| 09:56.28 | jrocha | RST38h, like I said, unless you screw up for real, customers are gonna choose you to pay for support over someone who "learned" about the software but didn't write it |
| 09:56.29 | lbt | you are not thinking of your customer |
| 09:56.37 | lbt | you are not looking to benefit them |
| 09:56.41 | RST38h | lbt: Well, if everybody just used software there would not be anybody to write it |
| 09:56.42 | lbt | you are looking to benefit you |
| 09:56.55 | RST38h | lbt: I am looking ot make money by benefitting my customers |
| 09:56.56 | lbt | seriously |
| 09:56.59 | _berto_ | it also happens that companies pay developers to write free software |
| 09:57.01 | glass_ | customers always prefer sw that doesn't actually need any support |
| 09:57.09 | lbt | yes, that's alllowed |
| 09:57.18 | RST38h | lbt: If you skip on the "money" part, you will just be doing work for free |
| 09:57.20 | lbt | but your business should be based on benefitting them |
| 09:57.29 | lbt | no it should be based on value |
| 09:57.36 | RST38h | lbt: My business should be based on making money. |
| 09:57.40 | lbt | you see "tie-in" as a good thing |
| 09:57.44 | RST38h | lbt: Otherwise it is charity |
| 09:57.45 | lbt | Q: for who? |
| 09:57.53 | RST38h | lbt: For myself. |
| 09:57.58 | lbt | exactly |
| 09:58.02 | glass_ | as long as the sw makes money for the customer, he can pay to make it better.. |
| 09:58.07 | lbt | I see it as a -ve for the customer |
| 09:58.13 | lbt | so do they |
| 09:58.25 | jrocha | RST38h, you're business mind lives in the 60s, software is not fish, you don't sell it by the Kg |
| 09:58.25 | RST38h | lbt: Sorry, but if you create a business you do it to make money for yourself |
| 09:58.26 | lbt | I understand your fear |
| 09:58.34 | lcukx41 | write the open source software because YOU the #1 customer wants it, if others feel it would benefit them after that and want to offer you money to alter and/or support them in it, that is the benefit and bonus |
| 09:58.34 | lbt | yes, don't dispute that |
| 09:58.36 | jrocha | s/you're/your |
| 09:58.37 | RST38h | What fear? |
| 09:58.55 | lbt | [10:51] <RST38h> lbt: Because you are the only one having access to the source code, you can provide better support for your software than the other guy, so you get "insurance" that nobody will steal your support business |

| 10:01.35 | _berto_ | will the guys at a forum write code for me? |
| 10:01.35 | lbt | then they come to you |

| 10:01.54 | _berto_ | does nokia depend on an internet forum when they need to adapt gtk+ for the n900 ? |
| 10:02.07 | RST38h | lbt: They will hire an IT guy who will keep it running by consulting forums |
| 10:02.15 | lbt | no, too expensive |
| 10:02.20 | lcukx41 | RST38h, your closed software could be challenged any day by an open source alternative. most of the time you would have to go on the defensive |
| 10:02.20 | RST38h | lbt: Not really |

| 10:02.32 | lcukx41 | with oss gpl :) its great because you share and build together |
| 10:02.32 | RST38h | lbt: Because the same guy will keep running the rest of infrastructure |
| 10:02.46 | lbt | yes, and he'll write OSS sw |
| 10:02.51 | lbt | in fact he may be you |
| 10:02.55 | RST38h | lcuk: That is not the point though |
| 10:02.57 | lbt | hired by the company |
| 10:03.06 | lbt | to manage the OSS sw |
| 10:03.09 | lbt | essentially |
| 10:03.15 | lbt | what's the difference? |
| 10:03.26 | lbt | he's hired to code OSS isn't he? |
| 10:03.31 | RST38h | lcuk: The point, again, is that if you intend to make money, doing job for free is not a good way to make money |
| 10:03.32 | lcukx41 | in a way it is - if you had your calculators as your revenue stream, it would be pretty sickening to have an oss model come up and replace it |
| 10:03.44 | _berto_ | who's talking about doing job for free? |
| 10:03.46 | RST38h | lcuk: Not really. It is life. |
| 10:03.55 | RST38h | lcuk: Something else comes up, you move on |
| 10:04.00 | lbt | exactly _berto_ |
| 10:04.17 | lcukx41 | but if both were open source yo ucan still have your revenue stream, and you get to include the same improvements your opponent added |
| 10:04.37 | RST38h | lcuk: No, you cannot have your revenue stream |
| 10:04.58 | RST38h | lcuk: Because you are not selling what you make, you are giving it away for free |
| 10:05.09 | X-Fade | That's why a lot of OSS apps have bad/no documentation :) |
| 10:05.10 | lbt | RST38h: you do have a point. Traditional SW models do work. However, you should really look to understand where OSS fits around them. Otherwise your traditional model has a *huge* risk |
| 10:05.12 | lcukx41 | no, you are ensuring it is not lost if you go under |
| 10:05.19 | jrocha | RST38h, customers often pay for customization/improvements they need, they don't come to a developer and say: well, so, if you could just write me this library until the end of the month, you'll be the coolest open source guy! |
| 10:05.24 | X-Fade | To charge on the service/maintenance ;) |
| 10:05.41 | RST38h | lcuk: Again, insuring it not being lost is not my goal. |

| 10:06.04 | lcukx41 | RST38h, is any of your software oss? |
| 10:06.16 | RST38h | X-Fade: as said previously, you can't make money on service because it becomes a commodity, everyone can offer service on an OSS product |
| 10:06.21 | RST38h | lcuk: Yea |
| 10:06.30 | lcukx41 | smiles :D |
| 10:06.35 | X-Fade | RST38h: Sure, but the developer knows the software best. |
| 10:06.36 | lbt | you can make money on service |
| 10:06.40 | RST38h | lcuk: But I am not making money on OSS software |
| 10:06.41 | lbt | most industries do |
| 10:06.46 | _berto_ | well, I am |
| 10:06.49 | msh_ | the best solution - sell a device, not software ;) |
| 10:06.52 | RST38h | lcuk: Only making money on commercial software |
| 10:06.58 | X-Fade | RST38h: Once software gets complicated, knowledge is what is giving you the edge. |
| 10:07.12 | lbt | and knowledge is the basis of service |
| 10:07.16 | RST38h | X-Fade: Not really. When everyone has the source, everyone can learn, again, service commodotized. |
| 10:07.16 | _berto_ | it looks like we're discussing about theory |
| 10:07.27 | X-Fade | RST38h: Sure, but not everybody does :) |
| 10:07.32 | _berto_ | i'm developing free software, and hell, I can tell you that i'm not working for free |
| 10:07.32 | jrocha | RST38h, all the open source software I wrote for free, I wrote it because I wanted to do it! I never wrote anything for anybody for deliberately for free because that'd be doing a job, and in my job, I get paid |
| 10:07.33 | lbt | RST38h: you can't learn all the source |

| 10:07.36 | RST38h | berto: We are discussing hard facts vs OSS theory |
| 10:07.40 | X-Fade | RST38h: And if you are the developer, you decide the roadmap. |
| 10:07.44 | lcukx41 | "sorry, gotta spent 3 months in code review" |
| 10:07.47 | _berto_ | hard facts is that OSS is paying my bills |
| 10:07.59 | _berto_ | but now I got to go back to work |
| 10:08.03 | _berto_ | ;) |
| 10:08.05 | lbt | heh |

| 10:09.29 | X-Fade | And people pay for speed of implementation, they can do it themselves but that would take twice the time. |
| 10:09.35 | _berto_ | I'm not the person to care about that guy's bills, he'll probably know better than me whether OSS is paying his bills or not |
| 10:09.35 | RST38h | X-Fade: But the summary is: when everyone can offer the same or similar service, it becomes a commodity, and you can't make much money from it |
| 10:09.36 | X-Fade | So then it is money well spent. |
| 10:09.36 | jrocha | lbt, sorry for that :P (just kidding) |
| 10:09.53 | X-Fade | RST38h: There are so many things you can specialize on. |
| 10:10.01 | lbt | heh - at least it's now cross-compiling and not using emulated g++ |
| 10:10.13 | RST38h | X-Fade: We are talking about exactly one thing: supporting OSS package X. |
| 10:10.14 | X-Fade | RST38h: Not everybody will do the same. |
| 10:10.28 | lbt | RST38h: "when everyone can offer the same or similar service, it becomes a commodity, and you can't make much money from it" .... ain't that the truth |
| 10:10.38 | lbt | gues what OSS is doing |
| 10:10.42 | X-Fade | RST38h: Ok, give me an example of an app which is 'over'supported then? |
| 10:10.53 | RST38h | X-Fade: theoretically, yes. in practice, everyone does the same, just cheaper, until it loses any point |
| 10:11.00 | lbt | SalesForce |
| 10:11.05 | RST38h | X-Fade: mySQL |
| 10:11.14 | RST38h | X-Fade: QT |
| 10:11.21 | RST38h | X-Fade: Gtk+ |
| 10:11.27 | RST38h | X-Fade: Apache |
| 10:11.28 | X-Fade | RST38h: I know plenty of people making a living of those projects. |
| 10:11.29 | RST38h | More? |
| 10:11.53 | RST38h | X-Fade: Getting a salary supporting an Apache installation or writing an app? |
| 10:12.16 | RST38h | X-Fade: Or actually supporting other people who use these projects, fo rmoney? |
| 10:12.39 | RST38h | Becuase the first guy is a USER and the second is in business of SUPPORT |
| 10:12.52 | lbt | is right now looking at a £400/day job supporting OSS |
| 10:12.56 | RST38h | OSS benefits users, we know that already |
| 10:13.04 | X-Fade | RST38h: If you take mysql for example. They work in tuning, setting up replication schemes, query optimization whatever. |
| 10:13.22 | RST38h | X-Fade: This is called a database administrator. He uses mySQL |
| 10:13.38 | lbt | when a business spends less on licenses they can spend more on service |
| 10:13.48 | lbt | this is part of the model |
| 10:13.52 | RST38h | X-Fade: Does the original author of mySQL make money supporting mySQL though? And how much? How does it compare with what Oracle makes on its db? |

| 11:06.15 | ccooke | So it's an interesting fact that's omitted. |

| 11:07.14 | ccooke | X-Fade: Bad wording, yes. Sorry. |
| 11:07.42 | X-Fade | ccooke: Nokia morph could be step 5 ;) |
| 11:07.49 | wazd | X-Fade: I think you've just spoiled secret strategy :D |
| 11:07.52 | johnx | ccooke, also, in their development process at least they skipped a release, so I'm not sure if looking back and trying to piece together the steps so far is helpful |
| 11:08.11 | ccooke | RST38h: So I'm bored. Anyone know when Nokia first mentioned the plan? If I can find that, I'll update the articles with the information. |
| 11:08.31 | X-Fade | ccooke: At least at the summit last year. |
| 11:08.38 | wazd | ccooke: it was long time ago, in a galaxy far away |
| 11:08.46 | ccooke | X-Fade: it was mentioned well before then |
| 11:09.03 | ccooke | I remember reading about it before I received my n810, which was preordered |
| 11:09.22 | ccooke | but that's the first time I really paid any attention to the devices |
| 11:09.49 | RST38h | X-Fade: Even 5-step thing is not set in stone. It was a cool figure of speen jaaksi came up with at some point |

| 11:10.34 | X-Fade | RST38h: Sure. |
| 11:10.38 | RST38h | For example, by calling the first Harmattan device part of step #4, and making something new for step #5 |
| 11:10.47 | ShellEvil | I think step 4 is to give everyone who knows what a kernel is a free one. |

| 11:11.22 | X-Fade | RST38h: Yes, like I said. Maybe even 10 devices. |
| 11:11.40 | RST38h | X-Fade: Well, here is what I heard from Murtazin and a few other sources: |
| 11:11.54 | ShellEvil | RST38h: I know - that was an attempted joke :) |
| 11:12.01 | RST38h | X-Fade: There is going to be one more Fremantle device by the end of 1Q2010 |
| 11:12.14 | RST38h | X-Fade: And a Harmattan device in Q3/Q4 2010 |
| 11:12.38 | RST38h | X-Fade: As we know at least two device numbers (RX-56 and RX-71) that gotta be them I guess |
| 11:12.42 | wazd | RST38h: Eldar sometimes trying to attract more attention than he really deserves :) |
| 11:12.52 | RST38h | wazd: Yes, he imagines a lot |
| 11:12.56 | wazd | RST38h: See his last quote bout Samsung :) |
| 11:13.05 | RST38h | wazd: Maybe he did see something nice |
| 11:13.21 | frals | any link to the Q1 -10 info? |
| 11:13.29 | RST38h | X-Fade: On further plans, Murtazin says there are plans for 12-15 devices based on Maemo |
| 11:13.37 | wazd | RST38h: well, I can say "Maemo 5 devices will face tough competition in 2035" :D |
| 11:13.39 | ZogG | is there any chance that once nokia would support multitouch |
| 11:13.50 | X-Fade | Eldar is all over the map. Sometimes he has something, sometimes he speculates really hard. |
| 11:13.50 | johnx | wazd, from neural implants |
| 11:13.51 | RST38h | X-Fade: but I guess that in this case he must have been imagining things as wazd says |
| 11:13.58 | ccooke | ZogG: Doesn't look likely on the current platform. |
| 11:14.14 | ZogG | =\ |
| 11:14.16 | RST38h | wazd: From spinal interfaces ! |
| 11:14.20 | ShellEvil | ZogG: It'll happen - soon is the question. |
| 11:14.31 | ShellEvil | ZogG: most multitouch systems have other issues. |
| 11:14.41 | X-Fade | ZogG: Why would you use multitouch anyway? |
| 11:15.18 | ZogG | as i understand it has apple patent things |
| 11:15.18 | frals | i have yet to see a need for multitouch on a phonedevice :+ |
| 11:15.18 | X-Fade | Multitouch is nice when you sit down, not really when you are on the move. |
| 11:15.18 | RST38h | X-Fade: He really thinks of himself as a great analytic, so whatever he says has to be taken critically |
| 11:15.18 | glass_ | ZogG: the apple patents are not exactly valid or enforceable to ban multitouch from others |
| 11:15.21 | wazd | RST38h: I think from energy spheres that will conquer the Earth :) |
| 11:15.30 | X-Fade | Also pinching without obscuring the underlying image is hard ;) |
| 11:15.33 | RST38h | X-Fade: But he also knows a lot of facts or half-facts or rumor-facts |
| 11:15.39 | glass_ | ZogG: and plenty of mt stuff coming/out from others, in media players and such |

| 11:16.04 | X-Fade | RST38h: Yeah, I'm sure he has some lines to people who tell him things. |
| 11:16.11 | RST38h | wazd: And declare itself the prophet of the great Cthulhu |
| 11:16.30 | wazd | Nokia has 3G patents, I think they can make a deal with Apple if they want :) |
| 11:16.41 | X-Fade | ShellEvil: Check the nokia patent for detecting fingers on the back of a device. |
| 11:16.58 | RST38h | X-Fade: just put damn dpad on the back. |
| 11:17.02 | X-Fade | ShellEvil: Some nice things can be done with that too. |
| 11:17.09 | ShellEvil | X-Fade: when was that granted? |
| 11:17.23 | X-Fade | ShellEvil: about a year ago. Was on engadget too. |
| 11:17.26 | RST38h | Yea transparent 800x480 screens with touch screen on the back =) |

| 11:20.49 | wazd | ShellEvil: you have 2 eyes, remember?) |
| 11:20.52 | ShadowJK | on-desk keyboards? Like the one sold on thinkgeek? |
| 11:20.53 | lardman | lcuk2: ping |
| 11:20.56 | RST38h | ShadowJK: Would you also like huge cubical starships laid with green LEDs with that? |
| 11:20.59 | crashanddie | lardman: pong |
| 11:21.04 | ShadowJK | (laser projecting keyboard onto desk) |
| 11:21.06 | ZogG | but multitouch is a good thing not only for use but to make device more popular |
| 11:21.15 | lardman | crashanddie: you about tomorrow late afternoon for beer then? |
| 11:21.18 | X-Fade | ShellEvil: No, it uses the camera to show alternative reality ;) |
| 11:21.21 | ShadowJK | RST38h, no they can be other shapes than cubical too |
| 11:21.22 | ZogG | more people buy - better support |
| 11:21.24 | ShadowJK | spherical, for example |
| 11:21.25 | RST38h | Laser projected keyboards have not caught up... |
| 11:21.26 | ShellEvil | X-Fade: oh |
| 11:21.35 | crashanddie | lardman: yeah, sure |
| 11:21.48 | X-Fade | ShellEvil: So the keyboard is overlayed on the image on your screen. |
| 11:21.49 | ZogG | and it's nice, althougth execpt to work with photos i don't see any use for now for multitouch |
| 11:22.06 | X-Fade | ShellEvil: You use the camera to see where your fingers are and guide them to the right spot. |
| 11:22.07 | RST38h | ZogG: You do not understand things! |
| 11:22.12 | crashanddie | lardman: got any place you would prefer to meet up? |
| 11:22.13 | ZogG | maybe |
| 11:22.18 | RST38h | ZogG: Mighty iPhone has multitouch and capacitive screen |
| 11:22.20 | ZogG | that's why i ask =) |
| 11:22.21 | crashanddie | lardman: my office is across the road from Waterloo Station |
| 11:22.22 | ShellEvil | the nokia patent is cute - but I think it's going to be even worse than the laser keyb. |
| 11:22.24 | lardman | crashanddie: you're the Londonite :) |
| 11:22.34 | lardman | crashanddie: though it depends on where lcuk2 is going to be |
| 11:22.38 | ShellEvil | - as you have now added >50ms of delay in there |
| 11:22.41 | RST38h | ZogG: So Nokia absolutely HAS to have them, or it will be an epic fail in the eyes of the Faightful |
| 11:22.47 | ZogG | RST38h, that's why everyone want it =) |
| 11:22.54 | crashanddie | lardman: he's in the area, plus I'm a 3 minute walk from BFI, so he should be close |
| 11:23.04 | X-Fade | But i've seen an app on N810 where somebody switched to the next image in the galery by his hand swiping over the camera? |
| 11:23.09 | RST38h | (frankly I have no idea why I would need a capacitive touch screen) |
| 11:23.19 | ZogG | RST38h, that's what i say, cuz for now apple sets the rules, and it's unfair =) |
| 11:23.20 | lardman | crashanddie: I wasn't sure if he'd be there tomorrow though |
| 11:23.21 | RST38h | Resolution sucks and you are supposed to press it with your nose in winter |
| 11:23.26 | ShadowJK | i've become frighteningly proficient at typing on the N800 /stylus/ keyboard with thumbs without using nail |
| 11:23.38 | lardman | crashanddie: but I'll be at Regents Park, so only a couple of tube stops away |
| 11:23.40 | crashanddie | lardman: he's been there since yesterday apparently |
| 11:23.44 | lardman | ah ok |
| 11:23.47 | ZogG | X-Fade it's not multi. it can be just touchscreen |
| 11:23.57 | lardman | are there beer facilities near BFi? |
| 11:23.59 | Myrtti | oh christ this coffee is awful |
| 11:24.06 | RST38h | Myrtti: tea/ |
| 11:24.14 | ShadowJK | You know, this N900/RX-51 stuff is getting old, can we start speculating about RX-71? ;-) |
| 11:24.22 | ZogG | =) |
| 11:24.33 | RST38h | ShadowJK: And RX-56 |
| 11:24.44 | ShadowJK | I didn't know there was a 56 :) |
| 11:24.45 | RST38h | ShadowJK: But there are only two bets you can make |
| 11:24.47 | Myrtti | ShadowJK: how about we speculate about light-speed travel? |
| 11:24.53 | ShellEvil | ShadowJK: It comes with a personal tracker system enabling the phone to follow you round if you forget it. |
| 11:24.57 | crashanddie | lardman: yeah, there's the fire station which is expensive, brasserie which is classy and cheap and trendy, anchor and hope which is cool, and probably 3 or 4 other pubs in the area |
| 11:25.00 | RST38h | Myrtti: we all know it is impossible |
| 11:25.07 | ShellEvil | ShadowJK: With integral battery storage strapped to the side of the sheep. |
| 11:25.13 | lardman | crashanddie: cool, sounds good |
| 11:25.16 | Myrtti | RST38h: faster than lightspeed then? |
| 11:25.17 | ShadowJK | Myrtti, FTL is like most software, a giant hack if it works at all |
| 11:25.21 | crashanddie | lardman: or across the river from BFI, there's a wine bar which is pretty good as well |
| 11:25.27 | lardman | crashanddie: what time do you finish work then? |
| 11:25.32 | RST38h | Shell: Really advanced tracking system should run on sugar from the subject's blood stream |
| 11:25.35 | crashanddie | lardman: whenever I want to |
| 11:25.38 | lardman | crashanddie: as long as there's stuff abotu that,s good |
| 11:25.41 | RST38h | Myrtti: Only on certain drugs |
| 11:25.41 | ShellEvil | RST38h: naah - grass. |
| 11:25.50 | lardman | crashanddie: ideal :) |
| 11:26.09 | RST38h | Myrtti: Powered by braincells, until the subject runs out of them |
| 11:26.33 | ShellEvil | I have an idea for a _great_ nokia product. |
| 11:26.36 | ShellEvil | The babelfish! |
| 11:26.38 | ccooke | Hmm. First mention I can find of the five step plan is from October 2007, saying the n810 was the third of five. |
| 11:26.54 | ccooke | I wonder if the plan actually originated around then or earlier :-) |
| 11:27.10 | crashanddie | lardman: apparently tomorrow evening it's the opening of onedotzero, so lcuk wants to attend, I don't have any tickets so unless it's very well organised or we get through the VIP, we won't get in (I called, fully booked) |
| 11:27.11 | ccooke | (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=83440#post83440 seems to be the first mention on the forum) |
| 11:27.44 | lardman | crashanddie: ah I se |
| 11:27.46 | lardman | e |
| 11:27.47 | crashanddie | lardman: however, friday there doesn't seem to be anything that concerns us, so that would be ideal for a small meetup |
| 11:28.02 | lardman | crashanddie: I've got a conf next week so can't really head back to London |
| 11:28.07 | lardman | just happen to be there tomorrow |
| 11:28.27 | crashanddie | thought you said friday on the forum? |

| 11:53.28 | Macer | hello |

| 11:53.46 | frals | http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2009-September/020585.html there we go, about the /opt |
| 11:53.57 | RST38h | ah |
| 11:53.58 | Macer | <PROTECTED> |
| 11:54.57 | _marcell_ | http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging%2C_Deploying_and_Distributing/Installing_under_opt_and_MyDocs |
| 11:55.20 | Stskeeps | _marcell_: question, is it /opt/packagename like in LSB? |
| 11:55.26 | RST38h | This all sounds weird. How many partitions is N900 going to have? |
| 11:55.34 | Stskeeps | because it does not tell anything about /opt structure at all :P |
| 11:55.57 | Macer | 1G? |
| 11:56.02 | RST38h | Ok, MyDocs points to mmc2 now. I am getting it. |
| 11:56.10 | RST38h | But where has /opt come from? |
| 11:56.14 | Macer | where is the 1G from? |
| 11:56.15 | Macer | heh |
| 11:56.25 | Stskeeps | RST38h: internal nand is similar to n810, and /opt is on the MMC |
| 11:56.29 | RST38h | Is it also part of mmc2, just formatted in ext3? |
| 11:56.37 | Stskeeps | seems so |
| 11:56.38 | _marcell_ | Stskeeps: I am not sure, but mvo's tool might give some answers: http://gitorious.org/maemo-af/maemo-optify |
| 11:56.44 | X-Fade | opt is used to not use app install space on root. |
| 11:56.44 | RST38h | Sts: Ok, so mmc2 is divided into two partitions |
| 11:56.49 | *** join/#maemo _r1_ (n=R1@pdpc/supporter/bronze/r1) |
| 11:56.49 | Macer | how open will the repartitioning be? |

| 11:57.01 | RST38h | Sts: how is wear leveling doing with ext3? |
| 11:57.15 | RST38h | Macer: of course, just like extending their penis |
| 11:57.19 | Macer | i mean "users can not mess with it" |
| 11:57.20 | Stskeeps | RST38h: ext2 on a SD will blow up your data quite often |
| 11:57.24 | Macer | seems rather set in stone |
| 11:57.35 | RST38h | Sts: then how does it work? |

| 11:57.46 | RST38h | Sts: mmc2 is pretty much an SD card |
| 11:57.58 | RST38h | Sts: It has got an ext3 partition mounted as /opt |
| 11:58.01 | Stskeeps | RST38h: ok, leveling is done by the SD card itself |
| 11:58.13 | Stskeeps | fact is that not using a journal on SD will cause data loss :P |
| 11:58.17 | RST38h | Sts: But as I understand it is tailored for VFAT |
| 11:58.36 | Stskeeps | RST38h: we haven't had trouble with ext3 and mer. ever. that's enough proof for me :P |
| 11:58.43 | Macer | haha |
| 11:58.44 | RST38h | Sts: Change the access pattern and card's wear leveling goes wrong |
| 11:58.46 | Stskeeps | ext2 has lost data often |

| 11:59.02 | RST38h | Sts: ext2 wasn't working too well for me as well |
| 11:59.13 | Macer | i wonder why 1G :) seems rather... low |
| 11:59.18 | RST38h | Sts: unless I umount of course :) |
| 11:59.23 | Stskeeps | Macer: for apps it's more than enough, rest go into Documents |
| 11:59.32 | Macer | don't get me wrong. i'm sure apps are a little small but 1G? |
| 11:59.35 | lbt | seems a bit nuts... |
| 11:59.35 | RST38h | Sts: I now mount ext2 / as read-only - seems to work pretty well |
| 11:59.38 | Macer | Stskeeps: what about libs etc? |
| 11:59.48 | Macer | /opt/lib? :) |
| 11:59.58 | lbt | why not have /opt contain the 'as shipped' code and /usr be 1Gb |
| 12:00.06 | RST38h | <PROTECTED> |
| 12:00.10 | Macer | RST38h: haha |
| 12:00.17 | Stskeeps | RST38h: i bet there's nothing stopping you from changing /opt to external microsd |
| 12:00.22 | lbt | then instead of having to hack "every" package you just hack the core code |
| 12:00.26 | RST38h | lbt: because /opt is usually used for optional packages |
| 12:00.27 | Macer | i hope not ;) |
| 12:00.48 | lbt | well /opt isn't normally used |
| 12:00.55 | Macer | meaning i hope you can just symlink opt somewhere else |
| 12:01.21 | Macer | how much space will the device have on its own without an sd? |
| 12:01.29 | Macer | 32G? |
| 12:01.38 | Stskeeps | 256mb internal, 32gb sd AFAIK |
| 12:01.47 | Macer | oh so it's coming with just an SD? |
| 12:01.49 | Stskeeps | and whatever microsd can take in external slot |
| 12:01.55 | Stskeeps | internal mmc, like in n810 |
| 12:01.58 | Macer | i was hoping it was 32G internal "SD" |
| 12:02.02 | Macer | oh ok |
| 12:02.09 | Stskeeps | it is |
| 12:02.10 | Macer | so yeah. that's good :) |
| 12:02.12 | RST38h | lbt: it is used all the time |
| 12:02.15 | Macer | so you still get an SD slot? |
| 12:02.16 | RST38h | lbt: Maybe not on your Linux |
| 12:02.27 | Stskeeps | i like /opt for the simple reason that game graphics shouldn |
| 12:02.29 | Stskeeps | 't be in MDocs |
| 12:02.29 | ShellEvil | wishes there were SD-raw available - that exposed the raw block device. |
| 12:02.31 | Stskeeps | MyDocs |
| 12:02.36 | lbt | RST38h: my linux being Debian, the upstream for Maemo... |
| 12:02.44 | RST38h | lbt: afaik, /opt was originally Sun's invention, later adopted in Linux |
| 12:03.04 | Macer | sun ftw |
| 12:03.07 | ShellEvil | (doing your own wear leveling can be good in some circumstances where you care about where erase blocks are and optimisation with them for writes) |
| 12:03.10 | RST38h | Hell, I even saw /opt used in FreeBSD :) |
| 12:03.22 | Macer | opt in fbsd was for off the wall stuff |
| 12:03.27 | Macer | like glftpd or something :) |
| 12:03.31 | RST38h | correct |
| 12:03.38 | RST38h | some freaky package wanted it |
| 12:03.49 | Macer | there were a few that used it |
| 12:04.04 | Macer | i guess they just wanted to make sure those types of pkgs were away from anything else structure wise |
| 12:04.08 | RST38h | lbt: Anyways, /opt was originally created by Sun for installing LARGE packages. Sun dev tools, KDE, that kinda stuff |
| 12:04.23 | Macer | yeah. and now maemo gets 1GB :) |
| 12:04.23 | Macer | haha |
| 12:04.29 | Macer | i pray you can resize that |
| 12:04.30 | RST38h | lbt: Mounting part of internal mmc to /opt is a pretty vegetarian option |
| 12:04.45 | RST38h | lbt: I can think of worse ones |
| 12:06.02 | Macer | watches maemo5 turn into java by accident |
| 12:06.23 | Macer | it starts with little sun things like /opt |
| 12:06.33 | RST38h | hits Macer with an eclipse |
| 12:06.36 | Macer | and soon turns into an overbloated android-like os |

| 12:15.14 | RST38h | lbt: Sorry but I cannot find your answer. There are answers from Anidello Del Sorbo and Attila Csipa |
| 12:15.20 | Macer | On 31 March Google has banned tethering application from the Android Market for violating the developer distribution agreement. |
| 12:15.23 | Macer | After few days Google restored tethering app for Android users outside the T-Mobile US network. |
| 12:15.27 | Macer | It was a result of violation the T-Mobile terms of service - this wireless carrier doesnât allow tethering. |
| 12:15.30 | Macer | haha! |
| 12:15.35 | RST38h | lbt: Simply tell why you think /opt is such a bad idea |
| 12:15.36 | Macer | thank god i installed it in time i suppose? :) |
| 12:15.47 | jaska | that not-allowing-tethering must be an us thing |
| 12:15.50 | jaska | never heard of it here |
| 12:15.54 | Macer | jaska: oh yeah |
| 12:15.56 | crashanddie | glass: "If you make something they will come" is a myth, and anyone who believes it is an idiot. If you want a job, you have to fight for it |
| 12:16.01 | Macer | att for example charges more if you request to tether |
| 12:16.11 | glass | crashanddie: bullshit ;)... |
| 12:16.17 | Macer | and if you don't pay for it they throttle your bandwidth if it detects long xfers over 3G |
| 12:16.22 | crashanddie | glass: what do you do for a living? |
| 12:16.25 | Macer | you use a different gateway for actual tethering |
| 12:16.28 | glass | crashanddie: mobile dev |
| 12:16.38 | RST38h | glass: You do know Apple threw C64 emulator out AGAIN because it runs BASIC which can theoretically be used to compromise iPhone? |

| 12:22.42 | Macer | lbt: is it really that difficult to have pkgs install in /opt? :) |
| 12:22.50 | RST38h | lbt: Deadlines and plain unwillingness to set the whole system upside down for a couple third party developers |
| 12:23.01 | ShadowJK | Macer, agreed :-) |
| 12:23.07 | X-Fade | You shouldn't have to do anything to physically place files in /opt. |
| 12:23.15 | RST38h | ? |
| 12:23.16 | lbt | Yes, it is difficult |
| 12:23.19 | X-Fade | The optify script will probably run after the builder. |
| 12:23.22 | Macer | X-Fade: well. that would be up to the developers wouldn't it? |
| 12:23.32 | RST38h | X-Fade: You are complicatign things |
| 12:23.40 | X-Fade | So the package in extras will automatically have large files in opt. |
| 12:23.57 | X-Fade | So the app can just assume the file is in /usr/* as normal. |
| 12:24.01 | lbt | see what I mean |
| 12:24.03 | RST38h | X-Fade: Do not change file locations after the fact. If developer submits the package, builder should not change what developers does there |
| 12:24.03 | X-Fade | No code change, just packaging change. |
| 12:24.17 | crashanddie | Deadline: In international markets, a deadline is literally that: a line or cable made of liquid uranium that is hung at neck level in front of the development team. As time goes buy, the "deadline" approaches slowly, and as the developers are chained to their desks, slowly decapitated if no delivery is made. |
| 12:24.17 | lbt | what could possibly go wrong... |
| 12:24.28 | Macer | lbt: haha |
| 12:24.30 | RST38h | lbt: Frankly I do not expect much to go wrong |
| 12:24.33 | Macer | point taken :) |
| 12:24.41 | RST38h | lbt: We already HAVE large packages installing to mmc1/mmc2 |
| 12:24.47 | X-Fade | RST38h: Will only run when enabled in the control file of the package. |
| 12:24.54 | RST38h | lbt: /opt is not gonna be worse than that |
| 12:25.04 | RST38h | X-Fade: Oh...screwy |
| 12:25.09 | X-Fade | RST38h: So the developer has to point to it. |
| 12:25.22 | Macer | most developers are smart guys |
| 12:25.23 | X-Fade | Files in opt will just be symlinked in /usr/ |

| 14:43.43 | javispedro | :) |
| 14:44.21 | Jaffa | It gets created on internal / if they haven't. Gives power users ability to get benefits without moving whole FS to mmc |
| 14:44.44 | Jaffa | Using a *different* bit of rootfs on diablo in default case doesn't seem to me to be a problem |
| 14:44.53 | javispedro | this is not exactly the same situation as the "installing to card" issue. We (well, at least I) used to left >1 MiB binaries in /, which is now not recommended in Fremantle |
| 14:46.20 | Jaffa | 's point is that diablo doesn't need any special treatment. /opt will work there too, it's just that most users won't see the benefits it gives on Fremantle (though it is relatively easy for users to get those benefits). However, it's a zero-cost game if your package is capable of working on diablo or fremantle. |
| 14:49.01 | javispedro | btw, the only reason I can think of for a shared /opt/maemo/ $PREFIX is "future" unionfs compatibility |

| 14:58.01 | Stskeeps | RST38h: maemo-transmogrify could maybe be done with qemu :P |
| 14:58.02 | thp | about that /opt thing.. i thought they wanted to "align with mainstream linux"? |
| 14:58.14 | thp | http://wiki.maemo.org/Mainstream_Linux_Alignment |
| 14:58.57 | javispedro | ah well. |
| 14:59.21 | javispedro | that will be Fixed in Harmattan, of course. |
| 14:59.43 | Jaffa | RST38h: Exactly |
| 15:00.30 | Jaffa | javispedro: We've not heard anything about a shared /opt/maemo prefix. We've been told to use /opt. maemo-optify needs to prefix all the paths with something in its initial implementation, so sticks /opt/maemo on as a qualifier. |
| 15:00.57 | Jaffa | javispedro: I'd bet that a patch to make it use /opt/_package_/bin rather than /opt/maemo/usr/bin would be accepted |
| 15:01.33 | *** join/#maemo vladovg (n=user@91.139.148.54) |
| 15:01.55 | javispedro | Jaffa: patch? unless Perl does not allowing accessing global vars from functions, that is a one-liner. |

| 15:03.36 | javispedro | Jaffa: that'd be my guess too (well, that, or overlooking something ;)). |

| 15:20.11 | javispedro | RST38h, as you can see, Maemo loves that "screw the users" motto too :) |
| 15:20.20 | RST38h | Absolutely |
| 15:20.27 | derf | Everyone does. |
| 15:20.38 | X-Fade | Sounds like a nice Extras package to me ;) |
| 15:20.49 | derf | It's only natural. Their interests are only tangentially related to yours. |
| 15:20.50 | RST38h | can see those trackers coming to bugzilla, with the vengeance |
| 15:20.56 | VDVsx | should be easy to change, dunno why it isn't supported |
| 15:21.00 | javispedro | Sounds like Engadget complaining in its first review... |
| 15:21.06 | javispedro | s/its/their |
| 15:21.13 | RST38h | VDVsx: but Diablo also has support for these in UI |
| 15:21.16 | X-Fade | If Johan can show those working at a presentation, we can package it too. |
| 15:21.37 | RST38h | VDVsx: Of course you can hack them to work, but will there be the status icons, device selection, etc? |
| 15:22.04 | X-Fade | RST38h: Something for bluemaemo ;) |
| 15:22.49 | RST38h | Ok, I have fixed stupid WinXP boot sequence, time to go home |
| 15:23.17 | VDVsx | jhe, why isn't HID supported in Fremantle, can we have some valid explanation ? ^^ :) |

| 15:24.25 | RST38h | VDVsx: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3359 (I have no idea why they dropped the tethering though) |
| 15:24.44 | Stskeeps | should be fairly easy to readd though |

| 15:26.23 | RST38h | VDVsx: Seems to depend on the application and overall load |
| 15:26.37 | VDVsx | humm |
| 15:26.40 | RST38h | VDVsx: Gtk dialogs with a lot of widgets are the worst |
| 15:26.56 | RST38h | VDVsx: Emulators and games are unplayable too, the kbd lags too much |

| 15:27.21 | RST38h | Terminal kinda works, especially if you turn off all the other apps |
| 15:27.27 | X-Fade | But bt isn't low latency anyway? |
| 15:27.41 | RST38h | Symbian has no problems with bt keyboards. |
| 15:27.44 | RST38h | Latency or not. |
| 15:28.05 | RST38h | Besides, Maemo seems to have the same problem with USB keyboards (see reports) |
| 15:28.12 | Stskeeps | probably HIM's fault |
| 15:28.13 | X-Fade | It can even be that the bt daemon has a too low priority ;) |
| 15:28.14 | VDVsx | humm, so probably isn't a problem with the profile himself, but we have fast HW now :P |
| 15:28.39 | javispedro | I can't see why it does not happen with the builtin keyb then |
| 15:28.41 | javispedro | ? |
| 15:28.46 | RST38h | X-Fade: There are several possibilities - HIM (as Sts says), the Gtk event loop, the scheduling, etc |
| 15:29.00 | RST38h | javis: Does not seem to happen with builtin one |
| 15:29.10 | RST38h | javis: but then you can't touch-type on the built in keyboard |
| 15:29.19 | RST38h | javis: so it is difficult to tell for sure if it happens |

| 15:54.51 | Stskeeps | if you have a machoistic streak, yeah |
| 15:55.10 | ccooke | console apps, for instance, generally don't need much porting at all |
| 15:55.13 | jhe | VDVsx: iirc the reason was related to lack of testing resources and the need to get rid of anything which isn't absolutely critical. but don't quote me on this :) |
| 15:56.03 | VDVsx | jhe, so the plugin will be only disabled at the conf file level ? |
| 15:56.21 | jhe | VDVsx: yes. the bluez package installs it but it's disabled in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf |
| 15:56.34 | VDVsx | ah, ok, np then ;) |
| 15:56.57 | Ramady | what makes an application difficult to be ported |

| 16:33.33 | frals | because engadget is in love with it due to iphone having it, i think |
| 16:33.34 | mgedmin | is know to have referred to his n800's touchscreen as "stabscreen" |
| 16:33.44 | mgedmin | since you had to use A LOT OF FORCE to force stylus taps to be noticed |
| 16:33.53 | mgedmin | and that's after adjusting sensitivity to the maximum |
| 16:34.02 | frals | by the looks the n900 screen seems pretty sensitive thou |
| 16:34.19 | usul | mgedmin, i think there was some manufacturing variance on n800 screens |

| 19:43.59 | fiferboy | timeless_mbp: No :) |
| 19:44.10 | timeless_mbp | ok, it's wrong :) |
| 19:44.14 | fiferboy | I used the default hildon_date_button, but I didn't really like how it looked |
| 19:44.40 | fiferboy | timeless_mbp: What format do dates usually take? Is it localized? |
| 19:44.48 | timeless_mbp | yes it's localized |
| 19:45.23 | fiferboy | Time, too? |
| 19:45.39 | timeless_mbp | it should be, yes |
| 19:45.45 | timeless_mbp | for full, you should use wdgt_va_date_long |
| 19:45.51 | timeless_mbp | from hildon-libs |
| 19:46.00 | timeless_mbp | and yuck |
| 19:46.13 | timeless_mbp | you managed to pull in a 24hr clock on a 12hr device |
| 19:46.57 | timeless_mbp | so, in the version of strings i have, you have 3 strings available: |
| 19:46.58 | timeless_mbp | wdgt_va_24h_time |
| 19:47.01 | timeless_mbp | wdgt_va_12h_time_am |
| 19:47.05 | timeless_mbp | wdgt_va_12h_time_pm |
| 19:47.20 | timeless_mbp | i'm not quite sure how to figure out if you're in 12 hr or 24 hr mode |
| 19:47.29 | timeless_mbp | but you need to figure it out |
| 19:47.40 | timeless_mbp | if you're in 24 hr mode, use the first string |
| 19:47.52 | timeless_mbp | otherwise, figure out if you're in am or pm and use the proper string :) |
| 19:48.25 | fiferboy | Ok, that makes more sense then what it defaults to |
| 19:48.46 | timeless_mbp | fiferboy: an advantage of talking to someone who localized the product recently :) |

I use a usb stick to carry my data files between home and work, giving easy access to everything wherever I need (and Eee for commuting).

| 21:50.42 | SpeedEvil | fbj: yes |
| 21:50.45 | Proteous | well, unless there is a preorder bug like there was with my n97... |
| 21:50.59 | SpeedEvil | fbj: simply plug a stick in - with an adaptor - and it can access it like a proper computer. |
| 21:51.02 | GeneralAntilles | fbj, should be really easy with the proper OTG adaptor. |
| 21:51.08 | fbj | really? |
| 21:51.14 | fbj | I think that made my day then :) |
| 21:51.23 | SpeedEvil | fbj: more wackily - setup the right USB gadget driver - and the n900 can be your memory stick |
| 21:51.27 | fbj | is N900 the first phone that supports this then? |
| 21:51.31 | johnsq | fbj: your usb stick should not need more than 100ma |

| 21:53.09 | SpeedEvil | (and charge from the same port) |

| 21:55.35 | ShadowJK | what *will* work out of the box for sure is n900 as usb stick. Connect it to your eee, and it shows up as 32-ish gig drive |
| 21:56.04 | Mek | if/when you enable mass storage mode on your n900, by default it only charges I think |
| 21:56.45 | ShadowJK | My personal guess would be that it does like s60, pops up a dialog asking you what to do |
| 21:57.04 | Mek | yeah |
| 21:57.10 | Jaffa | can answert this without supposition. |
| 21:57.12 | Mek | that's true |
| 21:57.25 | Jaffa | You plug a USB cable into the N900. If it is just connected to a power adapter, it charges. |
| 21:57.51 | ShadowJK | jaffa: surely not |
| 21:57.54 | Jaffa | If it is connected to a computer, it starts charging and asks if you want USB mass storage or PC suite. Tap outside the box for charging only |
| 21:58.08 | ShadowJK | you need the special cables with shorted datapins, right? |
| 21:58.16 | lardman | ah, good it asks |
| 21:58.32 | ShadowJK | just power over usb shouldn't start charging |
| 21:58.37 | Jaffa | If you have a USB OTG cable (or adapter), I *assume* it works. |
| 21:58.50 | Jaffa | ShadowJK: Of course it should. MicroUSB is the new cross-manufacturer charging plug standard. |
| 21:58.55 | ShadowJK | tested on Nokia e75 and it didn't charge with just power applied |
| 21:59.26 | ShadowJK | yeah and that standard says a charger identifies itself by shorting the datapins |
| 21:59.40 | Jaffa | ShadowJK: I *assure* you that just power applied charges the N900. There are two sockets on it: 3.5mm headphone/AV socket and microUSB. |

| 22:00.26 | SpeedEvil | The power adaptor shorts the D+ and D- pins |

| 22:00.41 | SpeedEvil | (well - device) |
| 22:00.45 | Jaffa | Right. |
| 22:01.08 | SpeedEvil | To tell the device it's a charger |

| 22:01.51 | ShadowJK | yeah so it doesn't charge if you've got, for example, powered usb hub not attached to computer. There is power, but nobody is talking on the data lines, and they aren't shorted, so no charge |
| 22:02.17 | ShadowJK | the usb charger adapters have shorted data lines of course. |
| 22:02.19 | javispedro | shouldn't it trickle charge then? |
| 22:02.42 | SpeedEvil | javispedro: Trickle charging from a suspended bus would be bad. |
| 22:02.44 | Jaffa | as if it were connected to a computer? |
| 22:02.53 | GAN800 | S60 IRC. Finally. |
| 22:02.54 | SpeedEvil | javispedro: you should be able to detect the difference though. |
| 22:03.05 | javispedro | while connected to a hub not connected to a computer. |
| 22:03.36 | SpeedEvil | hub not connected to a computer doesn't assert any particular value on the datalines - it tristates them |
| 22:03.45 | SpeedEvil | at least on the one that I measured |
| 22:04.21 | ShadowJK | anyway, n900 comes with small-nokia-plug to microusb adapter, which has datalines shorted, so that took care of my biggest interoperability concerns |
| 22:04.54 | ShadowJK | had no motivation for butchering and soldering usb cables for his external batterypacks |

| 22:17.04 | SpeedEvil | lardman: 5/mo for 500M |
| 22:17.47 | lardman | oh right |
| 22:17.50 | SpeedEvil | lardman: annoying of course you can't bolt the same rates as you get for the USB stick on the phone tarrif |
| 22:17.58 | lardman | yeah |
| 22:18.17 | lardman | so how much data do people actually use? |
| 22:18.29 | lardman | Jaffa, lcuk2: how much have you guys used thus far? |
| 22:18.46 | SpeedEvil | Gonna depend on what you do. |
| 22:18.54 | lardman | true |
| 22:19.01 | lardman | shame I can't store it up for when I need it :) |
| 22:19.03 | SpeedEvil | If I'm using the computer normally - I am bouncing around 100M/day |
| 22:19.14 | SpeedEvil | If I'm streaming - I hit gigs |
| 22:19.25 | lardman | yeah but a phone, even a very smart phone won't use that much |
| 22:19.29 | SpeedEvil | of course |
| 22:19.33 | SpeedEvil | but still the same applies |
| 22:19.45 | lardman | but still, if it's in the 20-30Mb/day, it's going to add up |
| 22:19.50 | SpeedEvil | Checking email - or streaming The Sky At Night. |
| 22:20.14 | SpeedEvil | needs to get his web compressor done. |
| 22:20.27 | lardman | I have wifi at work & home, so I will only really need it when I'm out and about, not sure how much that will be in truth |
| 22:20.41 | lardman | yuck, nasty photos with those things |
| 22:20.48 | lardman | resampled, etc |
| 22:21.00 | SpeedEvil | lardman: not quite doing that. |
| 22:21.08 | lardman | compressing the text data? |
| 22:21.14 | SpeedEvil | lardman: A) Device has large cache - say 100M or so. |
| 22:21.24 | SpeedEvil | lardman: B) Device only connects to proxy server |
| 22:21.38 | SpeedEvil | lardman: C) proxy server has a copy of devices cache |
| 22:21.43 | lardman | ah ok |
| 22:21.49 | lardman | so only send stuff that is actually new |
| 22:21.52 | SpeedEvil | lardman: D) Any pages device requests are sent as diffs |
| 22:21.53 | SpeedEvil | yeah |
| 22:22.15 | SpeedEvil | lardman: ebay.co.uk - changes everytime you load it. So simple 'is it new' won't work. |
| 22:22.26 | SpeedEvil | But diffs are tiny - 0.5K or under out of 60K |
| 22:22.36 | lardman | nice idea |
| 22:22.41 | SpeedEvil | Compared to maybe 15K by just compressing. |
| 22:23.11 | SpeedEvil | Add to that stuff like converting jpegs to progressive jpegs - and sending only the first 1/8th - if user asks |
| 22:23.36 | lardman | yeah that's a good idea |
| 22:23.51 | SpeedEvil | Or more funkily - user requests page - and cache notices completely unrelated page has large chunks of same code - and sends it diffed from that unrelated page |
| 22:23.52 | jaska | also one could use the deviceside cache as a compression dictionary assist |
| 22:24.02 | SpeedEvil | jaska: that's the basic idea. |
| 22:24.21 | SpeedEvil | jaska: you're using the large shared dictionary - the cache - as the context for the compression. |
| 22:24.27 | jaska | yea |
| 22:24.48 | lardman | have to replicate the cache emptying on the PC too then |
| 22:25.17 | SpeedEvil | lardman: yes - this wouldn't be a normal browser cache - but some sort of caching proxy. |
| 22:25.17 | lardman | though that's easy enough, all open source |
| 22:25.25 | lardman | ah of course |
| 22:26.04 | SpeedEvil | lardman: at least initially - building it into browser eventually would make sense - but unless you could deploy it onto all servers - and you can't - you're going to need a proxy for the forseeable future. |
| 22:26.39 | SpeedEvil | (can't deploy onto servers as it requires them to store the last several days/weeks context for every user) |
| 22:27.14 | lardman | bring on holographic storage! |
| 22:27.42 | SpeedEvil | Screw that - bring on inexpensive fast internet - and I wouldn't have to code stuff. |
| 22:27.58 | lardman | hmm interesting, vodafone payg charges up to 50p/day for a max of 25Mb |

| 22:28.47 | SpeedEvil | t-mobile do up to 2 pounds - but for a lot more data |
| 22:29.49 | lardman | just thinking that on the ocassions I don;t have wifi, I probably won't need much data |
| 22:29.55 | SpeedEvil | yeah |
| 22:30.25 | SpeedEvil | I rarely have occasions when I have to watch 17 youtube videos in a row. |
| 22:30.45 | SpeedEvil | lardman: especially given you have 32/64G on the device stored |
| 22:30.47 | lardman | it would be good if Vodafone had just let me change my plan and keep my number, rather than arsing about as usual |
| 22:30.58 | lardman | :) |
| 22:31.15 | lardman | normally just want the cricket results and to check my emails, some maps, etc |
| 22:32.24 | SpeedEvil | lardman: I think you can port your number to O2/... - then back to voda |
| 22:32.26 | SpeedEvil | insane |
| 22:32.32 | lardman | ouch ~£5/25Mb no matter which deal for data abroad w/ Vodafone |
| 22:33.02 | lardman | SpeedEvil: well they've changed it, or rather are changing it to payg, then I understand they will be willing to change it up to a monthly contract |
| 22:33.04 | lardman | madness! |

| 22:45.36 | dantonic | can fstab be reloaded without having to reboot? |
| 22:46.04 | SpeedEvil | you can manually mount or remove filesystems |
| 22:46.16 | dantonic | SpeedEvil, how would I do that? |
| 22:46.31 | dantonic | just mount |

| 22:47.14 | lardman | thanks |
| 22:47.14 | SpeedEvil | lardman: GPRS/EDGE is 2G data |
| 22:47.27 | lardman | so T-mobile have no coverage in Bath for 3G services |
| 22:47.53 | dantonic | I wish tmobile would provide better coverage already... I have so many dead spots! |
| 22:48.00 | SpeedEvil | Wacky. I have coverage in my tiny little village in scotland. |
| 22:48.06 | dantonic | and not just 3G totally dead spots! |
| 22:48.15 | dantonic | I'm in USA |

| 22:53.10 | lardman | well my only conclusion is that the maps don't really tell you much :) |
| 22:54.09 | lardman | do payt phones ever expire? |
