Oct 06 05:08:36 <slaxxer> i guess the wiki  is down?
Oct 06 05:08:46 <slaxxer> openmoko.org
Oct 06 23:22:21 <badcloud> has anyone tried arch mobile
Oct 06 23:22:23 <badcloud> ?
Oct 06 23:22:42 <[Rui]> I haven't.
Oct 06 23:22:59 <badcloud> [Rui]: good to know
Oct 06 23:23:04 <badcloud> :P
Oct 06 23:23:34 <badcloud> [Rui]: what do you use?
Oct 06 23:23:49 <[Rui]> badcloud: shr-unstable :)
Oct 06 23:24:19 <badcloud> how does it run these days?
Oct 06 23:29:32 <[Rui]> What I mostly use is calling, texting and wifi/gprs (for µblogging and occasional browsing)
Oct 06 23:29:51 <[Rui]> currently gprs is broken, but mickey|sports will hopefully fix it quickly now he's back from vacations.
Oct 06 23:30:12 <badcloud> ah
Oct 06 23:30:51 <[Rui]> Some people use GPS, but I have little use for it, I'd love to have nice bluetooth pairing with an earpiece but that'll have to be done manually for the time being.
Oct 06 23:31:27 <[Rui]> I also have been reading Cory Doctorow's For The Win in ePUB format thanks to FBreader :)
Oct 06 23:33:07 <badcloud> [Rui]: nice, I'm reading Sade's "120 Day's of Sodom" on FBReader
Oct 06 23:33:33 <[Rui]> :)
Oct 06 23:33:46 <[Rui]> FBreader has a lot of problems.
Oct 06 23:34:03 <badcloud> really? smooth sailing for me so far
Oct 06 23:34:06 <[Rui]> should: be finger friendly in it's corner actions
Oct 06 23:34:18 <badcloud> I agree
Oct 06 23:34:26 <[Rui]> should: have bright and darkness profiles
Oct 06 23:34:27 <badcloud> that %^&*ing bevel
Oct 06 23:34:50 <[Rui]> badcloud: forget the bevel, I have a *HARD* time finding the right spot with a stylus
Oct 06 23:35:02 <badcloud> [Rui]: you're right
Oct 06 23:35:09 <badcloud> there should be a tap method
Oct 06 23:35:18 <badcloud> or something
Oct 06 23:35:40 <[Rui]> should: have an easy way to change brightness (I saw in an android reader: swipe on the left side up and down for more and less brightness)
Oct 06 23:35:48 <[Rui]> should: have a sane tap method
Oct 06 23:36:04 <badcloud> sounds about right
Oct 06 23:36:10 <[Rui]> by default, a tap in any area except special areas should just do "show more text please"
Oct 06 23:36:21 <badcloud> seems like android is getting something right when it comes to comfortable usability
Oct 06 23:36:28 <[Rui]> badcloud: no, it's not.
Oct 06 23:36:33 <badcloud> [Rui]: really?
Oct 06 23:36:34 <[Rui]> some apps do, most certainly do not.
Oct 06 23:36:38 <badcloud> I see
Oct 06 23:36:57 <[Rui]> my wife has an Android, so I get to try some stuff.
Oct 06 23:37:02 <badcloud> naive assumption then, based on what you said about android's reader
Oct 06 23:37:52 <[Rui]> badcloud: that app appeared to be well designed
Oct 06 23:37:53 <badcloud> how do you feel about text input w/the freerunner?
Oct 06 23:40:49 <[Rui]> badcloud: raster's keyboard could/should be better, but it's quite good provided you get a good dictionary
Oct 06 23:41:07 <[Rui]> no special characters, though (like á, ß, etc...)
Oct 06 23:42:02 <badcloud> I see
Oct 06 23:42:20 <badcloud> that's one think I envied about shr users
Oct 06 23:42:28 <badcloud> the ease of adding virtual kbds
Oct 06 23:42:48 <[Rui]> it's ok. in Portugal most people don't text with accents, et all.
Oct 06 23:42:58 <[Rui]> so they don't find it strange that I never do :)
Oct 06 23:43:08 <badcloud> I figure :)
Oct 06 23:43:30 <badcloud> but I mean kbds with differently-sized keys
Oct 06 23:43:51 <badcloud> qtmoko falls short in that department I feel
Oct 06 23:54:26 <[Rui]> I c
