**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun May 16 02:59:57 2010 May 16 03:06:51 Roy-Pre101 May 16 03:07:39 haeffb: Howdy. May 16 03:08:11 whaddaya think: http://tigercountrysoftware.com/ May 16 03:11:05 haeffb: nice May 16 03:12:18 also have the mobile version installed. May 16 04:11:16 Heya May 16 04:11:46 .join #snaptic May 16 04:11:56 sorry May 16 04:15:25 Is someone here that can answer questions I have regarding the latest WebOS SDK beta? May 16 04:17:34 what's up JasonLP? May 16 04:18:34 Hi JenP. I'm having problems with the tools since I installed the beta SDK. My PDK plugin no longer works, and I'm missing some tools to track down the problem. May 16 04:19:03 sorry i can't be any help with the PDK I haven't played with it May 16 04:19:15 k May 16 04:19:32 I posted in the Early Access forum. Hopefully someone will figure out where I'm going wrong. May 16 04:42:28 JasonLP: That's probably better. Technically all that stuff is under NDA so we don't usually talk about specifics on the pre-release. May 16 04:42:53 I see. THx May 16 04:42:56 JasonLP: How much PDK stuff have you done? May 16 04:43:15 I have one hybrid app that depends heavily on it. May 16 04:43:22 Nice, what's it do? May 16 04:43:55 It's an encrypted password storage system. I wrote it originally in javascript, but it performed horribly. May 16 04:44:04 In C++ it flies. May 16 04:47:54 Nice. May 16 04:48:08 Any stuff you can add about the PDK to webos101.com would be great. :) May 16 04:48:59 Cool—I'll check it out. May 16 04:59:23 Wow, I think I figured out my problem. May 16 05:03:42 Oh? May 16 05:04:04 Yes, a mis-capitalization in their documentation! May 16 05:04:15 I'll post about it to save others the hours of grief. :) May 16 05:06:05 Great! May 16 05:06:53 :) May 16 05:07:11 They have some good tech, but need help in the documentation dept. IMHO May 16 05:08:05 +1111111 May 16 05:08:13 they need to convert it to a wiki May 16 05:10:00 They need to test for correctness. May 16 05:53:10 hey, how do i do horizontal screen on emulator? May 16 05:53:12 for the mac May 16 05:53:51 one of the f-keys? May 16 05:55:10 f keys on mac are weird May 16 05:55:18 they dont relaly do anything... May 16 05:58:53 ello May 16 05:58:56 > May 16 05:59:30 it doesnt do anything... May 16 05:59:47 I think it's F6-F9. May 16 05:59:55 Also, keep in mind it doesn't actually rotate the screen May 16 05:59:57 been doing that on mac May 16 06:00:05 oh... May 16 06:00:07 It only tells the app that it rotated. May 16 06:00:45 Try the photo viewer or another rotation-aware app May 16 06:02:59 thanks May 16 06:03:34 Arrrg! Please someone put the Mac image back! May 16 06:04:14 works May 16 06:04:46 how do i disable rotation? May 16 06:06:37 done =) May 16 06:16:54 anyone know if its possible to create a multi-stage app with Ares built scenes? May 16 06:18:58 Excellent question. I do not know but yes, I think you can. May 16 06:19:08 rick-home: Ping. May 16 06:20:22 I was trying the standard app-assistant stuff and I keep getting this error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'tap' of object (app-build.js:220) May 16 06:20:39 right after creating the scene in app-assistant May 16 06:23:16 any ideas? May 16 06:25:40 did you check the forum? May 16 06:25:58 yeah, nothing specifically related to Ares May 16 06:26:17 I posted there, yesterday about it, but I'm impatient :) May 16 06:39:40 dang it, it even gives that error with a totally blank Ares scene. :( May 16 06:41:50 Are you manually starting the ares stuff? Might be necessary. May 16 06:42:08 no, dont really know how to do that May 16 06:42:23 you mean creating the scene? May 16 06:42:36 Well, I do know Ares does some startup to get loaded. May 16 06:42:48 On multi-stage you probably have to be sure to start it for each stage. May 16 06:43:05 There's an article about mixing standard apps with Ares apps. I bet that might help. May 16 06:43:16 not article, but post May 16 06:43:29 In fact, if it helps, please post to webos101.com in the Ares section. May 16 06:43:47 (even if it doesn't, please document anything you know about Ares there. :) ) May 16 06:44:47 thanks, I think I've seen that post but ignored it at the time. I'll go check it out May 16 06:59:25 Rot=Pre101: interesting. i solved a portion of the problem by taking out "lightweight: true" from the stageArguments. gets rid of that pesky tap error May 16 07:01:20 err I mean "Roy-Pre101" ;) May 16 07:21:40 does Depot work in the app-assistant? May 16 11:52:30 hello May 16 13:08:24 hello May 16 13:17:04 morn'n haeffb May 16 13:20:02 Bmyers_ May 16 13:20:29 went back to wordpress: http://tigercountrysoftware.com/ May 16 13:22:56 looks good May 16 13:28:59 just finished submitting Done!

May 16 17:14:20 is there somthing special i have to do to get my program icon to show up in my page header titles? May 16 17:17:40 JenP: Probably not? May 16 17:17:59 hmm i'm always getting funky formatting from it... May 16 17:18:18 like the icons in the top left corner instead of in line May 16 17:25:42 haeffb_pre: I love your sync screen in 'done' May 16 17:36:21 is it possible with webos to intercept a call or sms and take an action? May 16 17:43:53 just need to get notifications of incoming texts and calls. May 16 17:44:45 schemer999: Not with the standard SDK May 16 17:45:57 i see. so the unofficial way is through registerForIncomingMessages but if i use it, i can't distribute my app through official channels? May 16 17:46:27 exactlky May 16 17:46:34 alright, thanks. May 16 17:48:13 rick-home: You alive? May 16 17:48:25 rick-home!!! Hi May 16 17:48:28 jenp so do I. May 16 17:48:45 haeffb_pre: so very cool.

May 16 17:50:21 Roy-Pre101: thanks. May 16 17:50:28 preware, or if you have an IPK you dled, then webos quick install May 16 17:51:34 ah. and if i wanted to charge for this app? May 16 17:52:07 hi guys - anyone have an idea how i can import new fonts in a webos app? May 16 17:52:48 shifty256: I do not. Check the forum. May 16 17:53:37 no solution found in any forums May 16 17:54:34 btw. i can import some new fonts, but this habe only an effect when i show the app in chrome / chromium. Not on my pre or the emlator ... May 16 17:54:44 Pft, and just like a ship in the night, rick-home disappears...

May 16 18:42:40 so does anyone know why my cookie bakery is having trouble? May 16 18:43:15 sugardave: ping May 16 18:46:12 oooh: http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=26987_70e6420084334a50a1a2669ce3ba5d10 May 16 18:53:17 Tibfib: Been meaning to ask you, why did you change the category listing on the services? May 16 18:55:08 Roy-Pre101: make it fluid. May 16 18:55:27 so the pages are the same... May 16 18:55:58 I also think the descriptions are helpful May 16 18:56:13 Widgets and APIs are still on the categories, I think. I think the problem with the categories system is that not all the services/APIs/Widgets have any documentation yet. May 16 18:56:57 I made the services look like the API and widget pages May 16 18:57:46 Roy-Pre101: that may be true, but I think the category system promotes people to update and create those pages more than the purely alphabetical system does May 16 18:58:10 It lets people know what is needed. May 16 19:01:58 Roy-Pre101: you can change it back if you'd like :) May 16 19:05:11 I'm not motivated to change it. :) I prefer the full list. May 16 19:05:34 I'll either have to create stubs for everything first or do something different with them May 16 19:38:42 ok, that's officially silly, just saw video on TV of people playing Quiditch, running around tossing balls while holding broomsticks between their legs... May 16 19:38:57 hehe May 16 19:39:06 pretty silly May 16 19:39:21 rick-home: nniiiiice, dvr it? May 16 19:42:45 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL0sG7Dtcfw May 16 19:45:05 hahaahahahahhaahah May 16 19:45:34 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4lxXQsCtEE&NR=1 May 16 19:48:21 my favorite part -- the golden snitch is attached to the back of a guy's uniform wearing a yellow shirt, so you have to chase him around and get the "flag" like flag football, and that's capturing the snitch. May 16 19:48:36 hahaha May 16 19:48:44 watching it now lol May 16 19:48:58 omg that's hysterical May 16 19:49:25 The blodgers are two guys running around in purple t-shirts that smash into players.... May 16 19:49:47 LOL May 16 19:51:09 second annual quidditch world cup at Middlebury College.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cy32PszpoA&NR=1 May 16 19:52:06 the first video of it actually looked like fun May 16 19:52:24 * Tibfib doesn't think running around with a broom between his legs would be fun May 16 20:37:26 Roy-Pre101: ok, thanks ! May 16 20:42:10 ping haeffb May 16 20:45:08 * Tibfib thinks others should +1 Dave Balmer's post: http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=7119&start=25 May 16 20:46:21 yup, i just did a few minutes ago May 16 20:46:29 that "report a problem" bug really stinks May 16 20:49:11 swisstomcat: yeah it does May 16 20:50:40 the bug report has been filed back on march 16 May 16 20:51:37 palm needs to fix the catalog. May 16 20:51:53 so many bugs, poor review system... May 16 20:55:10 and almost no updates to it so far May 16 20:55:20 lack of manpower? May 16 20:56:15 good question. that's why I'm excited about HPalm May 16 21:17:54 well, HPalm have to move very fast: cause the market won't wait for them.. nokia, rim, apple, google,.. May 16 21:18:37 yup May 16 21:18:42 the others won't wait for palm May 16 21:23:26 right May 16 21:23:55 but a merger generally slows things down May 16 21:24:52 well they have no choice, new android phones like every other day, new iphone just around the corner, new wm this summer/fall. this doesn't bode well for them. May 16 21:25:27 they have a good technology platform May 16 21:25:37 but that's not the only thing needed May 16 21:25:50 hpalm needs more mindshare May 16 21:26:23 a lot of people believe webOS to be the best OS (has most potential). May 16 21:26:54 to be honest, I think it would be excellent as a tablet OS. May 16 21:27:55 well, I think they need a new phone, and hardware acceleration for the gui.. pixi really doesn't show the OS to its full potential: it's too slow, too little powered.. pre is ok, but will be beaten by new phones (from htc/google, apple),.. they really need new devices, soon May 16 21:28:47 oh c40, where art thou? May 16 21:30:32 better be out on more then just sprint May 16 21:32:03 yes May 16 21:32:04 hardware accel for css3 is coming May 16 21:32:09 well, at&t is coming May 16 21:32:22 js-services replacing java-services is coming May 16 21:32:42 good ! May 16 21:33:27 at&t is here >.< May 16 21:34:03 yeah May 16 21:34:07 the great thing about webos is: all the time you invest is not lost because you're using web-technologies .. you can use those in other places too May 16 21:34:19 css3/html5 May 16 21:34:21 canvas May 16 21:36:36 g'night everyone May 16 21:36:40 nn May 16 21:36:43 cya May 16 21:36:47 off to dinner anyways May 16 21:46:02 good night everyone May 17 00:01:01 Hey guys, anyone is looking for a job?

May 17 02:30:38 hi JenP May 17 02:33:27 dart board? this is science. designed to generate the max possible revenue...

May 17 02:40:12 there are all kinds of science involved with darts May 17 02:40:18 u heard it's HPOs now right?
