**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 07 02:59:56 2007 Sep 07 06:33:25 hey, those that demand a "better touchscreen", is it that you want a more sensitive or more accurate or both? How would you characterize "better"? Sep 07 06:37:37 "multitouch" ;) Sep 07 06:40:50 ye gods Sep 07 06:41:13 why not we all just go and buy ourselfs "ipod touch"? Sep 07 06:41:56 heh, itt seems to be buzzing with ipod talk... Sep 07 06:45:17 is there an anti-shake filter for mencoder? google is just giving me a bunch of windows software - or any anti-shake software for *nix? Sep 07 06:45:57 * pupnik agrees with lle2 - 'better touchscreen' is too vague to even register Sep 07 06:46:16 mine works just fine, thank you Sep 07 06:58:43 so far the only thing i found was virtualdub for wine, which supposedly has a plugin for anti-shake Sep 07 08:03:20 Goede morgen Sep 07 08:05:50 Good morning Sep 07 08:17:39 good morning Sep 07 08:23:17 morning AD-N770 Sep 07 08:23:32 funny thinking of if , the ipod "wheel" really looks like the old school phones that had the round number thing Sep 07 08:27:25 ah, pulse based dialing... Sep 07 08:28:56 yes, my english is still not that good, and irc'ing does't rly help :p Sep 07 08:29:39 ircing is really bad for written english in my case =) Sep 07 08:32:32 I'd like to see a comparison of standard written english test scores between European students (who take it as a second language) and americans Sep 07 08:34:16 I wouldn't, I already concider yankees inferior ;) Sep 07 08:36:14 they cant even spell colour =) Sep 07 08:45:33 inferior Sep 07 08:45:33 an where are you from inz? Sep 07 08:45:47 pupnik the comparison would not work. 2 different type of english. Sep 07 08:46:03 inz, you were denied entry to the states or something? Sep 07 08:46:07 family member killed in a war the US was involved un Sep 07 08:46:09 ? Sep 07 08:47:04 Actually the pisa study has a test of standard english (TSE) that has been adapted to both US and British english Sep 07 08:47:15 A quick web search didn't turn up results though Sep 07 08:50:54 In reading proficiency (native language) Finland is #1. USA is slightly above european average. And germany is below average. :P Sep 07 08:51:24 http://www.oecd.org/document/8/0,2340,en_2649_34515_2675400_1_1_1_1,00.html Sep 07 08:55:05 Unique, see the ";)" at the end of the line Sep 07 08:55:24 Unique, and the only time I went to US, I was granted entry Sep 07 08:58:17 winky or no winky, still an insult to call a people inferior.. Sep 07 08:59:05 germany has so many immigrants so i guess thats why they have lower score.. Sep 07 08:59:41 usually when comments like that are made. person has a grudge against america because of something. Sep 07 09:00:30 Unique, I only dislike the president Sep 07 09:01:01 he is a yankee...no doubt about that.. Sep 07 09:01:35 inferior..???? Sep 07 09:01:54 Unique, bad choice of words, I'm sorry about that Sep 07 09:02:07 Unique, didn't mean to insult anyone Sep 07 09:02:53 Unique, I do not concider anyone to be inferior or superior Sep 07 09:03:14 im not american.. Sep 07 09:03:14 just a proud resident.. Sep 07 09:12:22 Finnish is easy to read :) Sep 07 09:12:34 Lynoure: yeah! right Sep 07 09:12:58 zeenix: On se. :) Sep 07 09:13:08 the president is from texas..way too much sun..i know its not the best excuse... but im sticking to it, inz Sep 07 09:13:48 Lynoure: try pronouncing 'hyvää yötä' correctly Sep 07 09:14:20 zeenix: Mä olen syntyperäinen, oikeasti. Sep 07 09:14:36 zeenix: I'm a native, it's easy. Sep 07 09:15:16 zeenix: there is pretty much 1 to 1 mapping between spelling and pronouncing, unlike in English. Sep 07 09:15:54 ghoti anyone? Sep 07 09:16:26 pyhimys: some ghoti is really good, halibut especially. :) Sep 07 09:16:38 Lynoure: oh! that is different than, easy for you to say Sep 07 09:17:11 Lynoure: what you mentioned is pretty much the only 'easy' thing about finnish Sep 07 09:17:41 zeenix: yes, I did mean it's objectively an easy native language to read (as the reading proficiency was tested with natives reading their own language) Sep 07 09:18:00 zeenix: well, the grammar is also very regular. Sep 07 09:18:20 Lynoure, what is ghoti? Sep 07 09:18:43 UniqueMobil: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti Sep 07 09:18:55 thanks Sep 07 09:19:52 and it _follows_ the grammar rules, there are no ten billion weird exceptions for no reason like in English. Sep 07 09:20:34 * zeenix wishes his parents knew about finland and that he'll move there Sep 07 09:23:59 the ten billion weird exceptions for no reason. Sep 07 09:24:09 zeenix: you can move here yourself, at some point, if you wish :) Sep 07 09:24:25 Lynoure: i already have, 2 year ago :) Sep 07 09:25:04 zeenix: oh, misunderstood you then :) Sep 07 09:25:13 american englisg Sep 07 09:25:17 or Sep 07 09:25:46 british, old english Sep 07 09:26:04 hmmm, lunch is over, gotta go again Sep 07 09:27:26 Lynoure: zeenix is just sore since he has trouble learning finnish ;) Sep 07 10:16:04 zuh: kyllä Sep 07 10:50:11 zuh: I have been thinking of making a Finnish teaching podcast, like 'Laura speaks Dutch' is for Dutch Sep 07 10:50:40 heh, i listen to laura speaks dutch Sep 07 10:51:08 celesteh: I do too, my beloved husband is Dutch and I'm trying to learn :) Sep 07 10:51:56 it's not helping me too much, but i'm not making an effort, really Sep 07 10:52:04 although now i can manage restaurant interactions Sep 07 10:52:19 * celesteh wishes everybody would learn esperanto Sep 07 11:35:53 * keesj wishes everybody would learn dutch :p Sep 07 11:36:19 why not just one language! Sep 07 11:36:48 surely everyone should learn the language that has the most users who are unable to learn anything else Sep 07 11:37:00 the Dutch have shot themselves in the foot - they are too good Sep 07 11:37:01 keesj: yes, and that should be finnish, obviously Sep 07 11:37:04 so Enlgish it is ;) Sep 07 11:37:16 or even English Sep 07 11:38:51 I also would go for a language what has one 5 letters or so Sep 07 11:39:32 so I can type with one hands or even my feet Sep 07 11:39:59 my feets are doing nothing all day long ! Sep 07 11:40:59 :) Sep 07 11:43:02 hi Sep 07 11:43:03 <_Monkey> salut, wahlau Sep 07 11:43:13 my first time here Sep 07 11:43:15 :) Sep 07 11:44:04 anyone plays with kinetic scroll here? Sep 07 11:44:12 i just tried maro's script Sep 07 11:45:32 wahlau: there is a media player doing it kagu perhaps? Sep 07 11:45:40 yeaj Sep 07 11:45:44 i first saw it there Sep 07 11:45:53 then now almost every media player using it Sep 07 11:45:54 .) Sep 07 11:46:03 just wanna share the experience Sep 07 11:46:16 it is nice, but i don't feel it usable at this extend... Sep 07 11:46:25 the scroll is kind of, urhm, sluggish Sep 07 11:46:27 any idea why? Sep 07 11:46:44 it's trally better with a captive sensor Sep 07 11:46:51 oic Sep 07 11:46:52 really Sep 07 11:47:01 so it has something to do with the screen instead? Sep 07 11:47:29 the physics , and the way touch is detected. Sep 07 11:47:56 that is what i have in mind Sep 07 11:48:09 would it be possibel for me to study the values captured by the screen Sep 07 11:48:11 "some" devices can detect when you are "hovering" over the screen , you don't really have to touch it that hard Sep 07 11:48:13 and translate that into motion Sep 07 11:48:26 that might in return help the whole kinetic thing :) Sep 07 11:48:40 but again, i am not really a fan of the kinetic thing Sep 07 11:49:13 it is adictive , you just start to play with it Sep 07 11:49:19 it's sexy Sep 07 11:49:27 oic Sep 07 11:49:29 :) Sep 07 11:49:37 any python programmer here? Sep 07 11:49:48 i am wonder is it possible to draw a layer on top of another? Sep 07 11:49:52 hmm, scratchbox was working for weeks (i did not reboot the computer) now after a reboot i get "Scratchbox is not properly set up!" error on /scratchbox/login Sep 07 11:49:54 any idea please ?

Sep 07 11:51:22 guardian: you are not perhaps inside scratchbox allready ? =)) Sep 07 11:52:07 http://raemo.garage.maemo.org/ and http://pluthon.garage.maemo.org/ Sep 07 11:53:00 it really looks like python is the choice for the next generation maemo stuff Sep 07 11:55:10 i just rebooted Sep 07 11:55:18 tried /scratchbox/login to go on my dev ... Sep 07 11:55:20 crap ... Sep 07 11:55:52 back in time i installed it using the holly 3.1 script Sep 07 11:55:59 i'm not sure it eases the developer's life in the end :D Sep 07 11:59:54 it just worked smoothly before i rebooted :( Sep 07 12:01:19 14:50 < suihkulokki> guardian: ..run the initscript Sep 07 12:01:42 the unofficial maemo ui guidelines http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dfrtdqv5_7hp33bq&pli=1 Sep 07 12:01:45 horrible!

Sep 07 19:18:58 ffoegboy is asking about this kb which only supports SPP: http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=102156154&c= Sep 07 19:19:10 he wants a "flexible" keyboard Sep 07 19:19:42 milhouse: is there a rollup kb that supports hid profile? Sep 07 19:19:59 sexy Sep 07 19:20:10 Has anyone gotten anything set up using SPP? Sep 07 19:20:13 there is the Stowaway Sierra - not roll up, but it does fold in half into a little case... http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=144069 Sep 07 19:20:54 the only roll up kb i could find was the eleksen - same one you found. Sep 07 19:21:04 but i didn't look long... Sep 07 19:21:19 I have a barcode scanner that uses SPP and I'd like to figure out how to connect it. Sep 07 19:21:20 i've got the sierra - don't use it though Sep 07 19:21:48 a bt keyboard is more hassle than it's worth unless you intend to do some heavy duty typing Sep 07 19:21:49 milhouse: how do you input into n800? Sep 07 19:21:55 virtual kb Sep 07 19:22:03 I used on for a very short time and gave up Sep 07 19:22:14 it was a serial one Sep 07 19:22:36 the Sierra is HID, worked straight away - still too much hassle. :) Sep 07 19:22:45 milhouse: isnt that slow? i have just purchased a n800 but havrnt got it yet Sep 07 19:23:24 is what slow? the virtual kb? yes, it's slower than typing with a keyboard but it has the advantage of me not having to carry a keyboard or balance it on my lap or get up and get it or... Sep 07 19:23:44 I love to program and I have yet to find the correct language to program while not sitting behind a desk Sep 07 19:23:45 since i don't tend to type novels into my n800, it's not a problem using the virtual kb Sep 07 19:24:53 milhouse: maybe i should try it for a couple of weeks before looking for a kb Sep 07 19:25:07 i suggest you do, you could save yourself some money Sep 07 19:25:26 ffoegboy: the fun thing with the thumb keyboard is that you can type standing Sep 07 19:25:26 milhouse: are you on the n800 now? Sep 07 19:25:32 no Sep 07 19:25:41 no way would i bother using irc on a n800... Sep 07 19:25:52 keesj: thumb kb? Sep 07 19:26:24 or sitting in the tram, but it the keyboard is detached from the device (n800 in this case) you reall need a table , I can't even really use the keyboard in bed and I have spend enough money on a good bt keyboard Sep 07 19:27:16 keesj: do you mean the virtuak kb? Sep 07 19:27:17 ffoegboy the on screen / full screen keyboard that pop's up Sep 07 19:27:26 keesj: ok Sep 07 19:28:35 i only speek english and have ordered the n800 from germany, will the operating system be in english or german? Sep 07 19:29:14 you can choose at startup Sep 07 19:29:14 you might get a german keyboard... Sep 07 19:29:54 milhouse: i wonder if that can be changed since its virtual Sep 07 19:30:21 sorry i thought you were referring to your BT keyboard Sep 07 19:30:51 milhouse: no. i havent got a bt kb yet Sep 07 19:30:53 there is only one OS version for the N800 - you select the language on first boot Sep 07 19:31:35 milhouse: can it be changed after the first boot if you want? Sep 07 19:31:41 yes Sep 07 19:31:49 change the language/local in the control panel Sep 07 19:31:49 <_Monkey> milhouse: that doesn't look right Sep 07 19:31:53 milhouse: cool Sep 07 19:32:59 Hmmm.
