Jan 09 03:24:50 heheh Jan 09 03:24:54 what was he shaving with before? Jan 09 03:25:06 fahhem is the pre a good phone reason i am asking it is time for a upgrade Jan 09 03:25:09 what would cause palm-install to just not work? Jan 09 03:25:11 I swear it might have been a ut starcom phone.. Jan 09 03:25:32 linuxman410: yeah, though the pre 2 is supposed to come out in the coming months Jan 09 03:25:41 I can run palm-launch, novaterm, but for some reason palm-install just won't do anything Jan 09 03:25:44 but only for verizon Jan 09 03:25:45 rsanchez1: what part doesn't work? connecting to device? Jan 09 03:25:51 oh, interesting Jan 09 03:25:59 can't install and remove apps Jan 09 03:26:00 tried multiple packages? Jan 09 03:26:02 i wouldn't recommend a pre or pixi to anyone Jan 09 03:26:12 let me try another package Jan 09 03:26:32 linuxman410: wait until feb 9th to decide what phone to get Jan 09 03:26:35 fahhem i am on att and can get the pixi or the pre for free right now have a bb 8310 Jan 09 03:26:47 it's kinda crazy how quickly everyone supported disqus Jan 09 03:26:57 I don't think it's the package, seeing how palm-install -r doesn't work either Jan 09 03:27:07 never know Jan 09 03:27:22 linuxman410: it's a great phone, especially if you install some patches through preware Jan 09 03:27:34 ok well it installed a different package... Jan 09 03:27:40 linuxman410: Palm/HP is holding an event on February 9th that will probably have new phones get announced. I'd wait at least until then before making any final decisions Jan 09 03:27:42 builtin functionality is great, patches make it a little more usable but not necessary Jan 09 03:27:55 Personally... I'd go with the Pixi Plus just because the keyboard is that worth it :p Jan 09 03:28:00 oh my god yes Jan 09 03:28:03 SineOt you understand Jan 09 03:28:14 must be the package... Jan 09 03:28:17 pixi keyboard is heaven Jan 09 03:28:30 why couldn't this thing have 320x480 and omap3 ;-; Jan 09 03:28:34 also has a tiny screen and extrememly slow Jan 09 03:28:48 * Tibfib never tried pixi keyboard Jan 09 03:28:50 well at least it doesn't break on you every five seconds Jan 09 03:28:52 +1 on pixi keyboard Jan 09 03:28:59 it's this tiny thing Jan 09 03:29:01 my 80 pixels wahhh q_q Jan 09 03:29:04 pixi keyboard should've gone on the pre Jan 09 03:29:12 probably tinier than treo pro's keyboard Jan 09 03:29:14 and Jan 09 03:29:15 it's Jan 09 03:29:16 AWESOME Jan 09 03:29:16 what's the difference between the keyboards? Jan 09 03:29:21 it's insanely clicky and responsive Jan 09 03:29:24 anyone tried both pre2 and pixi keyboard? Jan 09 03:29:30 Key shape, key size, responsiveness Jan 09 03:29:32 like every letter you type resonates throughout your body Jan 09 03:29:40 damn I want a pixi Jan 09 03:29:43 SineOt: 80x320 = your 25600 pixels Jan 09 03:29:45 The Pixi keys have a lot of travel and give good tactile feedback Jan 09 03:29:45 :) Jan 09 03:29:46 wow torchie feels pretty strongly about it Jan 09 03:30:00 while the Pre keys are these like, flat things with barely any feedback Jan 09 03:30:17 the pre keys ache fingers tips after a while Jan 09 03:30:21 80 pixels less = enjoy your scaled down apps and catalog fragmentation Jan 09 03:30:23 I can type about 55wpm on my Pixi, on my Pre... I end up missing letters because a press that WOULD have registered on the Pixi won't Jan 09 03:30:25 has anyone managed to transplant pixi keyboard on the pre? Jan 09 03:30:38 guys what if Jan 09 03:30:44 * SineOt puts on sunglasses. "Scaled down apps? DEAL WITH IT" Jan 09 03:30:56 fail Jan 09 03:31:03 the pixi + pre's specs was the original pre Jan 09 03:31:06 would things be different now Jan 09 03:31:18 nope Jan 09 03:31:30 the pixi + pre = broadway :T Jan 09 03:37:39 Pixi is actually faster than Pre on some benchmarks. Sprint Pixi is woefully under-memory though. Jan 09 03:37:46 fahhem do you have to have a windows computer to install preware Jan 09 03:37:49 so it's always swapping to slow flash Jan 09 03:37:56 PixiPlus does better. Jan 09 03:38:06 Pixi+ has more RAM? Jan 09 03:39:11 ah, no. but it seems to be better for some reason. but yes, without compcache on it you're going to hit the lack of memory there too. Jan 09 03:39:16 does pixi have a minisd slot Jan 09 03:39:45 no webOS device has removable storage Jan 09 03:40:23 can you install preware without a windows computer Jan 09 03:41:01 yeah you can install it on linux Jan 09 03:41:08 using linux I mean Jan 09 03:41:34 yeah, the Pixi + Compcache makes for a really enjoyable device Jan 09 03:41:39 cool i use linux only no windows Jan 09 03:48:07 I think one of my safari ad ons has a memory leak :B Jan 09 03:48:10 5.68GB :B Jan 09 03:52:23 SineOt: come on, you know you have to blame that on the browser like all the firefox users do Jan 09 03:53:21 is ares down for anyone else? Jan 09 03:53:26 of course the pixi decides to suck on sprint Jan 09 03:53:31 * torchie rage Jan 09 03:53:43 Pfftt, I'm using Input Managers designed for Safari 4 on Safari 5, I know where the problem is probably coming from XD Jan 09 03:53:52 * SineOt might also have a Safari 3 Input Manager... Jan 09 03:54:04 Loudergood: of course it's Firefox, that's why you need a 1.2GHz processor and a laptop mode for it to run on a phone Jan 09 03:54:13 input manager? Jan 09 03:54:23 I mean a 1.2GHz dual-core processor Jan 09 03:54:24 Don't get me started on Firefox :C Jan 09 03:54:28 lol Jan 09 03:54:34 firefox is that a chrome extension Jan 09 03:54:40 I didn't think prefox was that bad...a little unstable perhaps.. Jan 09 03:54:49 Input Managers are like, I guess the best way to put it is "take the most hacky thing you can imagine, inject code into running applications, and go hog wild" Jan 09 03:55:06 no, the Motorolla guys know what's good for you, that's why they only allow firefox when in laptop mode Jan 09 03:55:15 OPENNESS Jan 09 03:55:17 FREEDOM Jan 09 03:55:17 at least that's what I heard Jan 09 03:55:29 android and openness? lol Jan 09 03:55:32 OGG Jan 09 03:55:39 WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO ONE USES IT :B Jan 09 03:55:48 ~Take back the web~ Jan 09 03:56:04 I think it's fair enough that they don't want to pay license fees Jan 09 03:56:32 they should just move to france and get away with it like VLC does Jan 09 03:56:52 lol stupid apple pulling VLC Jan 09 03:57:06 oh what happened to prefox? Jan 09 03:57:10 if you need more proof that apple is a closed garden, you're a hopeless fanboy Jan 09 03:57:42 I tried to run Prefox the other day, but it wouldn't even launch Jan 09 03:58:14 is the guy still working on it? Jan 09 03:58:16 did you read the article Jan 09 03:58:30 I read the one from 5 months ago or whatever Jan 09 03:58:41 I think I remember reading in the forum thread that the first guy stopped working on it so some other guy picked it up Jan 09 03:58:43 appparently VLC's removal was all courmont's work Jan 09 03:59:17 I remember reading there was some huge uproar over sacrificing some terms of the GPL just to get into the app store Jan 09 03:59:43 so apple pulled vlc? I thought vlc pulled it? Jan 09 03:59:50 * Tibfib has just read article titles Jan 09 03:59:56 remi courmont, a nokia developer that contributed to VLC Jan 09 03:59:58 VLC pulled it after requesting it get removed Jan 09 04:00:14 so if that's somehow Apple's fault then ??? Jan 09 04:00:18 hi all!! Jan 09 04:00:23 requested by apple? Jan 09 04:00:24 meh, I just don't understand why apple won't change their ToS to make it compatible with the GPL Jan 09 04:00:27 JenP: hola Jan 09 04:00:36 hey Tibfib Jan 09 04:00:36 or that courmont guy? Jan 09 04:00:53 the problem now, though, is that random contributors to GPL applications can make a fuss about application licensing and apple will have to remove the app that YOU distributed for free that YOU released the source code for and YOU got permission to develop Jan 09 04:01:14 VLC dev: "We don't want that up there, license issues." Apple: "Okay." Internet: "FUK U APPLE WALLED GARDEN!!!" Jan 09 04:01:27 which wouldn't be a problem if iOS had sideloading Jan 09 04:01:39 well apple can make it right by making their tos compatible with gpl Jan 09 04:02:32 http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/11/the-vlc-ios-license-dispute-and-how-it-could-spread-to-android.ars Jan 09 04:02:37 nonetheless this field is closing up and it seems if I want to develop something GPL I'm stuck with android and webos Jan 09 04:02:41 oh yeah i meant to read that Jan 09 04:03:06 they even allow to to register as an open source developer for webOS right? Jan 09 04:03:10 Or they could just come to realize that Stallman is horribly out of touch with everything and probably shouldn't be looked to for things like the GPL cough :x Jan 09 04:03:15 rsanchez1: yep Jan 09 04:03:29 webos NEEDS TO CATCH ON ARGH Jan 09 04:03:47 it's the hero we all need :( Jan 09 04:04:02 who doesn't browse the web by downloading files using wget? Jan 09 04:04:07 SineOt: you could always go MIT and X11 Jan 09 04:04:10 don't forget lemote yeelong Jan 09 04:04:16 A man who reads the internet using WGET and an email daemon: A man we should all listen to! Jan 09 04:04:18 rsanchez1: you lazy hack, telnet ftw Jan 09 04:04:34 A man who eats things off his feet at conferences while up on stage: A man we should all listen to! Jan 09 04:04:41 okay honestly Jan 09 04:04:45 I'd listen to a man after that Jan 09 04:04:49 and I saw that video and it was glorious Jan 09 04:04:51 I would follow him off a cliff Jan 09 04:05:19 A man who bought a Chinese state designed computer just so he didn't have to use a BIOS for his own freedom: A man we should all listen to! :U Jan 09 04:05:41 LEMOTE YEELONG Jan 09 04:05:57 it's like a pokemon Jan 09 04:06:24 And Firefox and H264 goes way beyond licensing fees Jan 09 04:08:05 Since the MPEG-LA has come out and made H264 royalty/license fee free ~FOREVER~ as long as what you're providing it via is also free Jan 09 04:12:31 AAH WHAT IS THAT?!?! Jan 09 04:13:03 lol did you just see a ghost or something? Jan 09 04:13:42 ha! it turns out this new medical office by my favorite burrito spot is giving out marijuana prescriptions Jan 09 04:24:45 sounds like every medical office by every burrito spot in california XD Jan 09 04:26:14 It's funny, Prop 19 didn't pass, but Arnold signed into law a bill that has basically completely decriminalized marijuana. I think it's like a 100$ civil fine for possession up to an ounce? Never even touches the criminal court system Jan 09 04:27:28 SineOt: cool, about time states stop wasting taxpayer dollars on people recreationally using drugs. Jan 09 04:27:30 I did. :P Jan 09 04:27:46 SineOt: (or medicinally for that matter) Jan 09 04:28:57 yeah, the fact that 19 even came close to passing says to me that it'll probably be next cycle that it finally just gets completely decriminalized in California proper Jan 09 04:29:13 Hahaha my timing is terrible I meant I saw a ghost. :P Jan 09 04:29:17 19 would have allowed anyone over I think 21 to possess and grow up to 3 plants for personal use Jan 09 04:29:25 was it a WEED GHOST? Jan 09 04:36:07 Yes. It wanted my cookies and junk. Jan 09 04:39:01 a case of the ghost munchies, terrible Jan 09 04:40:30 I know right? Jan 09 04:42:10 yeah, its almost a joke in Cali now. At the post election rally in Oakland, prop 19 supporters were openly smoking Jan 09 04:48:50 fuiut Jan 09 04:56:28 That's exciting. Jan 09 05:09:50 i had a good conversation about android, iphone and webos with a colleague over lunch on friday .. it's frustrating how the potential for webos is there, but still can't seem to be realized .. i'm looking forward to february Jan 09 05:10:54 so reading up on mysql docs, it says "The primary index of a table should be as short as possible. This makes identification of each row easy and efficient.".. so what is more efficient having id column with integer Jan 09 05:11:22 or having a column with a md5 hash as primary index? Jan 09 05:11:33 and then not having the id column Jan 09 05:13:17 and what else is better having a column for a json object that could be a max of 1000 chars, or having multiple columns ? Jan 09 05:17:22 Tibfib: Jan 09 05:17:31 yes ? Jan 09 05:18:23 You rang? Jan 09 05:18:25 Earlier Jan 09 05:18:34 oh yeah.. I think I've decided not to run with villo Jan 09 05:20:05 Haha Jan 09 05:20:07 Already? Jan 09 05:20:38 yeah.. unless you can entice me with something Jan 09 05:20:49 what's your timeframe for release? Jan 09 05:21:14 Depends Jan 09 05:21:18 When do you want it to be? Jan 09 05:21:27 We can be ready whenever you want us to be Jan 09 05:21:28 noo. the more I think the more I realize it won't work Jan 09 05:21:41 Haha Jan 09 05:21:44 Any reason why? Jan 09 05:21:45 dundundun.... Jan 09 05:21:53 I've figured out a decent solution Jan 09 05:21:59 Ah Jan 09 05:22:03 I need to use my sql db for it Jan 09 05:22:21 because I need to store the push messages Jan 09 05:22:32 mongodb ftw Jan 09 05:22:41 You can store messages Jan 09 05:22:45 Villo doesn't stop you Jan 09 05:22:47 halfhalo: shoot. If you set it upp... Jan 09 05:23:05 kesne: is push setup in villo? Jan 09 05:23:10 Yeah Jan 09 05:23:15 wanna send it over? Jan 09 05:26:59 lulz @ me doing work Jan 09 05:28:12 halfhalo: thought so :P Jan 09 05:28:16 that makes me laugh Jan 09 06:02:23 pretty quiet night, huh? Jan 09 06:04:34 I guess Jan 09 06:08:20 what've you got going on Jan 09 06:08:21 ? Jan 09 06:18:08 Waiting to get into the 2.0 sdk Jan 09 06:20:51 that's a simple email, right? Jan 09 06:23:11 To apply, not to get in Jan 09 06:23:33 Though I guess when I do get in, I can't say I'm in so... Jan 09 06:32:10 what do you mean? Jan 09 06:59:49 You email to get in, they have to accept you. And then you're covered by an nda so you can't say anything you learned from the early access stuff Jan 09 07:05:38 first rule of EA: never talk about EA Jan 09 09:03:17 anyone know if webos can do 3d webkit transforms? Jan 09 16:17:11 miami Jan 09 16:24:36 orlando Jan 09 16:24:49 odense Jan 09 16:25:07 fluffy kitty Jan 09 16:27:18 38 minutes till last meeting then home time Jan 09 16:29:04 dundunDUN Jan 09 16:43:18 meeting? on sunday?

Jan 09 17:14:56 and subsequently show everything off at MWC in spain most likely Jan 09 17:15:09 those bastards Jan 09 17:15:17 I mean Jan 09 17:15:19 yay! Jan 09 17:18:46 CES was never on their "events" list on the dev page .. but MWC was - so i am surprised people thought CES would be any big announcement Jan 09 17:20:26 well, it's not exactly a developer event Jan 09 17:20:51 consumer electronics...everyone wants to see the tablet Jan 09 17:21:18 I've realized I don't need a tablet Jan 09 17:21:27 I don't NEED one either Jan 09 17:21:29 bite your tongue Jan 09 17:22:19 right...it's not going to replace my laptop or my phone, or my e-ink reader...and it can't do anything that they can't do.. Jan 09 17:22:26 still...cool toy Jan 09 17:22:58 Palm is going to have a hard time selling a tablet with the current state of the app catalog Jan 09 17:25:19 I don't have an e-reader so I can get that new funcitonality Jan 09 17:25:36 it's all about having the actual hardware for dev, for me Jan 09 17:25:49 well, yeah there's that too Jan 09 17:26:29 if I ever finish these papers that I'm procrastinating so I have time to dev Jan 09 17:26:49 dev is the PERFECT procrastination device Jan 09 19:34:33 i'm going to be at MWC Jan 09 19:34:45 HP sponsored a ticket Jan 09 19:36:17 altso flight?

I'm hoping it keeps up after I move to the app catalog proper from the Beta feeds Jan 09 23:45:36 holy cow "On BestBuy.com, the small change of allowing people to skip sign-up during checkout resulted in $300 million extra revenue per year." Jan 09 23:45:52 But it should, I hope. It does everything that's been requested Jan 09 23:46:03 nice Jan 09 23:46:13 Yeah if there's one thing that people hate it's having to sign up to view content Jan 09 23:47:37 I argued this sort of stuff for months, then...

I'm glad I'm reading them :) Jan 10 02:44:59 sheesh there are a lot of german devs on that map Jan 10 02:50:25 just ordered the palm pre plus cannot wait to get it Jan 10 02:51:17 Does anyone know how to set the value of a textfield to 0, any other number or string works but when i set value = 0 nothing shows up Jan 10 02:52:26 is the palm pre plus a pretty good phone Jan 10 02:53:09 sure .. how much did you pay for the pre plus .. and any reason you didn't want to go with a pr2 ?
