20:38.39damaltoroooh why is accuweather so crappy
20:39.43damaltori now managed to replace it by another weather app wich doesnt try to sell me free logos and sh't, even with a nice new applet on the events view. but both of them dont find my home city
20:40.08damaltoror better, accu doesnt find it, but te new app finds it but doesnt know how the weather is there
20:43.28admiral0my convincing skills have done another victim
20:43.42admiral0one of my friends will buy the n9
20:43.55damaltorwhich is great
20:44.02damaltoras long as he doesnt want a real weather app
20:44.04damaltor:>
20:44.17admiral0he's an electronics engineer
20:44.25damaltoryeah, the n9 has its quirks. but it is the best phone i had
20:44.30admiral0he has wrote an os
20:44.39admiral0so he's a cool guy
20:45.08damaltorim an electronics engineer too. yeah, we are cool.
20:45.09damaltor:D
20:45.28admiral0i'm studying for programming(?) engineer
20:45.51damaltori guess most people wanting a phone like the n9 are engineers or at least very interested in technical things
20:46.15admiral0and they say android is for scientists
20:46.22admiral0android? meh
20:46.24damaltorhere in germany nokia doesnt even sell that phone, so we have to workaround and get it from somewhere else
20:46.34admiral0denmark
20:46.41admiral0in italy too
20:46.52damaltorthey dont even sell it in japan
20:46.58admiral0but we have an online store that sells it
20:47.09admiral0yeah
20:47.13admiral0bad choices
20:47.20admiral0n9 is a good phone
20:47.30damaltoreverybody who sees that phone yells oooh the lumia.. why do you buy a wndows phone (as all my friends know i am a pure linux user)
20:47.40admiral0yes
20:47.41admiral0XD
20:47.47admiral0i know the effect
20:47.47damaltorcrap
20:48.05admiral0i was the president of my uni's lug for a year
20:48.17admiral0and milano is full of lumia 800 ads
20:48.25admiral0i kinda feel embarassed
20:48.31damaltortrue words
20:48.49damaltorthere is a huge load of ads for this crap thing
20:48.56damaltorand the n9 just looks like the same phone
20:49.07admiral0yep
20:49.20damaltoronly the flash is moved a bit, and the buttons (?) below the screen are missing
20:49.27admiral0i felt bad when i read posts about PR 1.2
20:49.55admiral0n950 was the n900's successor
20:49.55damaltorwhy?
20:49.58damaltorhaha
20:49.59damaltoryes
20:50.04admiral0it was ready for commerce
20:50.11damaltorbut n950 is even harder to come by here
20:50.17admiral0they made it a dev only phone
20:50.19damaltorbut i guess i would have liked the keyboard
20:50.29admiral0i have a n900
20:50.36admiral0and i still love it
20:50.48damaltori even had an idea, and added the image of the linux penguin tux to my standby screen, so everytime my phone is lying around somewhere people see that it is not a crappy win phone. you know what happened??
20:50.49admiral0i bought it at launch from nokia store
20:51.02admiral0what?
20:51.03damaltorpeople asked mehow i managed to install linux on a windows phone
20:51.08admiral0ahahahah
20:51.18admiral0could you pass me the penguin?
20:51.50damaltorjust pick any tux from web, convert to PNG and black and white (!!). if you want to i can tell you how to put it on the standby screen
20:52.12damaltori am not at home atm, and the pic is on an other computer. so, no sorry at the moment
20:52.27damaltormaximum size is 450x450 px, wich will occupy about half of the screen
20:52.37damaltoryou will want to pick something like 200x200 px
20:53.05damaltorlets see if i fand that penguin again
20:53.36damaltorthere

20:53.43damaltoroh crap
20:53.46damaltorhttp://izaak.jellinek.com/tuxes/images/black%20and%20white%20tux.gif
20:53.53damaltori resized it to 200x200
20:53.58damaltorinverted it
20:54.03damaltorconverted to png
20:54.34damaltoryou want me to help you with that? afair you are a developer yourself, arent you?
20:54.42admiral0not a problem with gimp
20:54.50admiral0<- studying engineer
20:54.54damaltorkk
20:54.54admiral0:D
20:55.16damaltorso, that was the image i use
20:55.19damaltord
20:55.42admiral0what was the file
20:55.49damaltorhttp://izaak.jellinek.com/tuxes/images/black%20and%20white%20tux.gif
20:55.49admiral0i remember it being css
20:55.52damaltoryeah
20:55.58damaltoroh no
20:56.03damaltorit was in gconf
20:56.08admiral0ah
20:56.11damaltorjust  sec, i will look it up
20:56.12admiral0gconf-tool
20:56.48damaltorah but you have to edit a css too
20:56.52damaltorto set up the size
20:57.13damaltorhere is everything you need
20:57.14damaltorhttp://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1110862&postcount=1
20:57.25damaltorremember that the image has to be a png
20:58.29damaltorby the way, if a single imae is too boring this might be something for you. quotes on the standbyscreen, wich change every 10 minutes --> http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81443
20:59.20admiral0imagemagick?
20:59.58damaltorpython to create the images and to edit gconf, and a shellscript calling the python script every 10 mins
21:00.50admiral0seen that
21:02.21damaltorin fact a nice idea
21:02.41damaltorand as the script sleeps most of the time it doesnt need much battery
21:03.13damaltorbut after having this on for a few days now, i kinda miss the clean look of the empty standby screen
21:03.33damaltorplease dont mind my spelling, the notebook i am on has a horrible keyboard
21:03.43admiral0i do not mind
21:03.45admiral0:)
21:04.02admiral0mi mind is blown after 1 day of studying algebra
21:04.05admiral0my*
21:04.10damaltorahaha
21:04.20damaltorheavy stuff
21:04.49admiral0i'm thinking of what would be nice to display
21:05.06damaltorme too
21:05.08damaltorbattery state
21:05.09admiral0i am a geek so... load avg
21:05.13damaltorand the date
21:05.17admiral0yeah
21:05.29damaltorwell, if your phone is in standby, the load avg would probably be 0.00 all the time
21:05.36damaltorwich is kind of boring
21:05.43admiral0i can do that with a bash script and not in the last 15 minutes
21:05.55admiral0it goues
21:05.57admiral0argh
21:05.59admiral0goes
21:06.08admiral0now 5mins 15mins
21:06.32damaltoryou also could calculate the square root of pi a few times before finding the load avg, so there is something to display
21:07.00admiral0ahahaha
21:07.00damaltori know something better
21:07.03*** join/#n9 auenf (David@171.72.233.220.static.exetel.com.au)
21:07.08admiral0i'm all ears
21:07.11damaltorthe most loved command
21:07.14damaltoruptime
21:07.15damaltor:D
21:07.36admiral0omg omg
21:07.42admiral0we have awk on the device
21:07.49damaltorbcause every linus user loves to tell his windoze friend that is computer is running for three years now
21:08.15admiral0i love my openwrt router's uptime
21:08.30admiral0humiliating any windows user since 2009
21:08.36damaltoryeah we have. i am unable to use it correctly (and i guess nobody can __really__ use it entirely), but there is a lot of stuff we could do with it
21:09.59damaltore.g. battery state coud be read out with awk, someone managed to do that and show the percentage below the clock, in color epending on bat state. so it was green if bat was >80, yellow if >50 and red if >20 or something like that
21:10.24damaltortext-to-image conversion is no problem in python
21:11.24admiral0python?
