I'm looking to buy a replacement. thanks. Jan 06 03:49:32 ping Jan 06 03:54:56 ??? Jan 06 03:58:39 pong Jan 06 03:59:12 <|R> rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 4 minutes :P Jan 06 04:02:13 Thank you for responding E78C8EE4BA, I was wondering if there was a -voice that had occurred. Jan 06 04:03:37 not showing in xchat Jan 06 04:04:13 btw, (n810 xchat)++ Jan 06 04:10:10 Awesome E78, (I'm too lazy to type the whole thing) how hard was that to get in n810? Jan 06 04:11:58 point&click Jan 06 04:12:07 * Reverend nods Jan 06 04:12:38 it's beta, but i've found no bugs Jan 06 04:12:44 Mine's not nearly so cool, it's Colloquy on Mac os X ;) Jan 06 04:13:28 my only problem now is figuring out how to bear children for my n810 Jan 06 04:13:52 <|R> anyone got pipepanic running on 2008? :P Jan 06 04:36:21 Crap, can't find the equivelant of the home key on this thing. Jan 06 04:36:45 Any ideas? I know CTRL+Left jumps across by word. Jan 06 04:37:52 I'm using an apple wireless keyboard and it doesn't have the right side with the numpad etc. on it Jan 06 04:40:11 I need it to delete the whole line, which is something that until now I didn't realise how often I did. Jan 06 04:50:58 http://beeks.eu/Screensaver.htm Jan 06 04:51:07 HERe's A cOoL LiNkE Jan 06 04:51:28 WtF WhY Is MY WrTtinG LoOkIng LiKE THiS. Jan 06 04:51:33 iS THIs A JOkE. Jan 06 04:52:10 that was strange Jan 06 04:53:29 save the .swf to mmc, run them in the browser, and then bookmark them. Jan 06 04:54:46 the handclock.swf is i think the best. Jan 06 04:56:32 http://beeks.eu/swf/handclock.swf Jan 06 05:16:01 How do you map keys for a bluetooth keyboard? Want to set up a combo for home and end Jan 06 05:19:26 maybe you can try with xmodmap Jan 06 06:24:06 quick question Jan 06 06:24:11 I've compiled xv Jan 06 06:24:15 but how can I double click on n810??? Jan 06 06:24:18 err Jan 06 06:24:22 right click I meant Jan 06 06:24:33 which is needed to display xv's menu Jan 06 06:24:51 it's kinda annoying without Jan 06 06:25:21 Hi Jan 06 06:25:51 I don't think it is possible. Jan 06 06:25:56 great Jan 06 06:26:33 I qoulw be good to do like other programs , that pressing for a longer time pops up the menu. or do something in combo with a hardware key Jan 06 06:26:47 bah not worth it Jan 06 06:27:06 I was hoping that a key combination would work Jan 06 06:27:07 me trying to be funny: you need to pres harder Jan 06 06:27:15 i.e. shift + click Jan 06 06:27:42 ah Jan 06 06:27:44 I found it Jan 06 06:27:46 what works best are apps that are designed for the devices Jan 06 06:27:55 really? Jan 06 06:28:09 YES!!! Jan 06 06:28:12 kick ass Jan 06 06:28:13 thanks!!! Jan 06 06:28:41 WTF Jan 06 06:30:38 anyone ever have their home screen applets just disappear? Jan 06 06:31:32 LoL Jan 06 06:31:49 He foUND the answer, and didn't bother sharing. Jan 06 06:31:51 that sucks Jan 06 06:32:31 the joys of oss Jan 06 06:33:02 in and out. Jan 06 06:33:36 happy happy joy joy. Jan 06 06:34:15 hmmm... whats up with the libillumination packages Jan 06 06:34:38 they all see to have updates, but not all of the libs seem to be installable? Jan 06 06:40:42 Luria: I dont know Jan 06 06:41:06 keesj, but you know what i'm talking about? Jan 06 06:42:13 argh. xchat's gone stupid. brb Jan 06 06:42:37 I know there have been problems with the repositories (and often a download fails) perhaps this is related Jan 06 06:45:40 hi guys Jan 06 06:45:59 tell me please this is true: Jan 06 06:46:13 The N800 has an FM tuner, this was not included in the N810 Jan 06 06:46:13 ????????? Jan 06 06:46:24 this is right Jan 06 06:46:30 yup Jan 06 06:48:55 * keesj is very happy with his new laptop . ready for serious development! Jan 06 06:49:10 n810 hasn't it :( Jan 06 06:49:40 perhaps it is hidden again :p Jan 06 06:50:17 ummm so not sure Jan 06 06:50:36 has anybody managed to get nicotine (or any other p2p client) running on the n810? Jan 06 06:51:29 i use bittorrent Jan 06 06:51:39 why would i use nicotine? Jan 06 06:51:50 hmmmmmmmmm Jan 06 06:52:05 which torrent client do u use? Jan 06 06:52:09 transmission works pretty well Jan 06 06:52:13 ahhhhhh yah Jan 06 06:52:16 i got that Jan 06 06:52:18 :) Jan 06 06:52:18 ctorrent in a cli pinch Jan 06 06:52:46 is there any way to make transmission the default handler for .torrent files in the browser? Jan 06 06:52:53 actually, transmission is a very good client Jan 06 06:53:01 yes its nice and lightweight Jan 06 06:53:05 utorrent Jan 06 06:53:05 :D Jan 06 06:53:27 tell me irc client is for n810? Jan 06 06:53:42 yes ... xchat works fine on the n810 Jan 06 06:54:28 i should hopeso, seeing as im using it atm Jan 06 06:54:50 hehe Jan 06 06:55:39 moontiger_, no idea, i suppose gconf would be the place to start looking Jan 06 06:55:58 yah or i suppose i should write a script to do it huh? ;) Jan 06 06:57:18 meh Jan 06 06:57:48 its not such a big deal - i dont intentionally use bt all that often Jan 06 06:58:19 normally, its start a torrent via rdesktop, enjoy it when i get home. Jan 06 06:59:23 yah good point ... and its no biggie to download the torrent file and then open it with transmission Jan 06 06:59:28 i was being lazy really Jan 06 06:59:29 :) Jan 06 07:01:07 i mean, the rare case is to grab an album or something on the go, but if im moving, well i probably cant do port forwarding or im not sticking around long enough to do a really large xfer Jan 06 07:01:42 so while its nice to have, its not something i do very often. Jan 06 07:02:08 when i switch to a 3g tethering plan, id be wary about using it too, so that is out Jan 06 07:02:28 i could route it through my home vpn, but that seems unwise. Jan 06 07:02:37 and slow, given my upstream. Jan 06 07:03:43 I FOund THESE: Jan 06 07:03:49 The N810 has a built-in GPS, the N800 doesn't (just use a BT GPS instead) Jan 06 07:03:52 The N810 has a slide-out keyboard, the N800 doesn't (both can also use an external BT keyboard) Jan 06 07:03:55 The N810 has a transflective screen, the N800 doesn't. The N810 screen is much better in sunlight, and also a little brighter. But both screens are _excellent_. They both look superb under the same indoor conditions (although there's a bit more glare on the N810 screen - it's mirroring a bit more than the N800 screen). Jan 06 07:03:55 The N810 has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the screen illumination, the N800 doesn't (however the sensor is placed so that for some people it'll end up under your thumb..) Jan 06 07:04:04 The N800 has an FM tuner, this was not included in the N810 Jan 06 07:04:04 The N810 has one mini-SD slot (compatible with micro SD/SDHC as well). The N800 has two full-size SD(HC) slots (compatible with everything in the SD/MMC family). Jan 06 07:04:04 Both units have 128MB of RAM and 256MB of internal flash storage Jan 06 07:04:04 The N810 has an additional 2GB internal flash area Jan 06 07:04:11 The limited-resolution camera on the N810 is fixed at the front, the one on the N800 pops out and can be turned around (front- or back-looking) Jan 06 07:04:11 The N810 has a micro-USB connector, the N800 uses mini-USB Jan 06 07:04:11 Both units use replacable Nokia phone batteries, although of different types Jan 06 07:04:18 Both units are otherwise exactly the same with respect to internal hardware, and software (CPU, DSP, operating system, connectors, stereo speakers, mic etc.) Jan 06 07:06:01 :D Jan 06 07:06:04 ummmm i think the n810 has a slightly faster clock speed Jan 06 07:06:09 what about battery live? and usb-host support? Jan 06 07:06:21 batt life is good on the n810 Jan 06 07:06:26 usb host support no Jan 06 07:06:57 n810 is more better for in the sunlight Jan 06 07:07:16 it2008 does freq scalling but that did not really improve my "off the power charger" time Jan 06 07:07:35 well i heard battery life is very better than n800 Jan 06 07:07:47 much better that is :p Jan 06 07:08:27 and what about the sound ?n810 setero stuff? Jan 06 07:09:12 and the default package that comes with the n810 ? same stuff . I think I read there was a car mounter piece Jan 06 07:09:16 more glare on the N810 screen :D Jan 06 07:10:32 yes Jan 06 07:10:51 the car mount works good ... the internal gps is a bit slow getting a lock Jan 06 07:11:07 i use an external gps with my fone and the n810 and it works great Jan 06 07:11:21 i got the full wayfinder nav package and thats very good too Jan 06 07:11:27 with this summarize i think n810 is much better than n800 Jan 06 07:11:49 i havent played with an n800 but from what ive read and seen i think the n810 is much better Jan 06 07:12:37 well Jan 06 07:12:49 it is newer and fixed the problems on n800 Jan 06 07:13:20 im more impressed with it after 3 or 4 weeks using it than i thought i would be to be honest Jan 06 07:21:12 moontiger_: talking about n810 or wayfinder? Jan 06 07:21:13 i have to go ... laterz Jan 06 07:21:20 bye Jan 06 07:21:21 ummmmm the n810 Jan 06 07:21:29 but wayfinder is very good too Jan 06 07:21:39 worth the $100 it costs Jan 06 07:21:48 bye :) Jan 06 07:22:15 bye Jan 06 07:26:28 bullshit man...

Jan 06 08:03:02 just curious I find the lyrics annoying in alot of it Jan 06 08:03:08 d^_^B, next time use pastebin.ca or PM Jan 06 08:03:25 thats every music genre Jan 06 08:03:29 not only hip hop Jan 06 08:03:32 true Jan 06 08:03:44 then again alot of people find what I listen to quite offensive lol Jan 06 08:03:50 heh Jan 06 08:04:01 then again not all death metal is reflected by Cannibal Corpse Jan 06 08:04:11 sometimes i don't even listen to the tune for the lyrics Jan 06 08:04:14 or so on controversal death metal Jan 06 08:04:17 actually thats most of the time. Jan 06 08:04:21 post rock is more fun because of that Jan 06 08:04:24 the beat alone does it for me. Jan 06 08:04:25 no lyrics Jan 06 08:04:34 k, with rock Jan 06 08:04:42 post rock can cross into industrial tecno a bit Jan 06 08:04:48 i can listen to a guitar solo, or a drum solo and be happy. Jan 06 08:04:58 64daysofstatic is a good example Jan 06 08:05:01 65* Jan 06 08:05:15 ah Jan 06 08:05:17 ever heard of Example? Jan 06 08:05:23 nah.

Jan 06 08:06:49 hiphop is really hated, everyone knows this. Jan 06 08:07:09 he filmed it in Chernobyl and i think it shows rap can be constructive Jan 06 08:07:14 taking quite alot of risk Jan 06 08:07:42 The Streets is another rapper I like both in the british hip-hop/rap scene Jan 06 08:07:50 take a look at the billboards tops of the year charts from the 60s to now. Jan 06 08:07:50 well Mike Skinner lol Jan 06 08:07:57 indeed Jan 06 08:08:21 hiphop is all over the billboard charts now Jan 06 08:09:01 if its not there alone, its mixed with another genre and called a remix. lol Jan 06 08:09:07 you got a point Jan 06 08:09:35 rock and metal are trying to hold on though Jan 06 08:09:50 rock and metal is not going anywhere.

Jan 06 08:10:45 in sweden etc. Jan 06 08:10:50 he has a good album out Jan 06 08:10:59 quite impressive for a college student in fulham Jan 06 08:11:16 hiphop over here in the states i think was heading that route. Jan 06 08:11:19 lol he used a pirated copy of Cubase to get started with his buddy rusher Jan 06 08:11:31 it tried too Jan 06 08:11:31 but money is not in talking righteous. Jan 06 08:11:48 contraversy sells records Jan 06 08:11:50 beef Jan 06 08:11:52 Dave Chapelle put on a show for those few who had some righteous language Jan 06 08:11:58 yes Jan 06 08:12:02 Bloc Party was awesome Jan 06 08:12:03 ur mos defs Jan 06 08:12:06 talib Jan 06 08:12:08 common Jan 06 08:12:09 indeed Jan 06 08:12:12 roots Jan 06 08:12:15 crap, modest is going nuts again Jan 06 08:12:23 lol Jan 06 08:12:38 anyone have modest installed?

Jan 06 09:07:03 ho ok :D: Jan 06 09:07:15 there was another conversation going on :-) Jan 06 09:07:19 divx xvid files can work on n810? yes? Jan 06 09:07:26 Luria, yeah no touchscreen is no good Jan 06 09:07:48 xvids are ok, provided you encode them right Jan 06 09:08:02 and better with mplayer, typically Jan 06 09:08:18 d^_^B, http://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/tablet-encode.html Jan 06 09:08:24 id use that to convert them first Jan 06 09:08:39 yes cos i read: Jan 06 09:08:43 i like how they have a e17 wm version Jan 06 09:08:47 Here's the same clip from the Google Video window shown above it. It's not perfectly smooth but the capacity is impressive nonetheless. There's still no native support for DivX or XviD, but Nokia is giving us a free download to take care of that: Video Converter. Expect a video demonstration of that application on this blog within a week. Jan 06 09:08:47 WRONG? Jan 06 09:09:43 or it is only for internet google videos Jan 06 09:09:49 tablet-encode don't work for me, i use a personnal ffmpg script Jan 06 09:10:07 infact if i put a divx movie then can it work on n810? Jan 06 09:10:21 if you use nautilus action I can send you a script Jan 06 09:10:43 i use tablet encode, but i used to use virtualdub Jan 06 09:10:44 d^_^B, i have never used the nokia video converter, so i do not know Jan 06 09:11:01 beurk windows user :p Jan 06 09:11:08 the community one is great tho Jan 06 09:11:57 Supported video formats: 3GP, AVI..............finally N810 can play Avi files or no? Jan 06 09:12:12 but if i want to do anything more than just adapt the bitrate, i go with virtualdub Jan 06 09:12:18 Avi = Divx = Xvid Jan 06 09:12:25 3gp never works Jan 06 09:12:33 avi it's only container Jan 06 09:12:47 no, avi is a container, xvid is a mpeg4r codec Jan 06 09:12:50 depends on the codec and the size of the video Jan 06 09:13:13 heh. favorite geek quibble. Jan 06 09:13:29 trickie my mean is not for the nokia video converter i said about this file on n810 Jan 06 09:13:37 never say die! (or ogg) Jan 06 09:14:07 smokey time Jan 06 09:14:15 d^_^B, well tablet-encode has managed to re-encode everything i have thrown at it Jan 06 09:14:21 and the result ran on my n800 Jan 06 09:14:27 Luria, agreed Jan 06 09:14:28 bbs Jan 06 09:14:30 MPEG-1, MPEG-4 codec are available in n810 Jan 06 09:15:03 why would you use mpeg1 on an IT?

Jan 06 09:22:27 no Jan 06 09:22:33 No on your linux distrib Jan 06 09:22:53 Use a windows converter if you use xp or vixta.. Jan 06 09:22:55 you have to use your desktop to transcode the videos before coping it to your IT Jan 06 09:23:00 so where? Jan 06 09:23:09 nokia provide a program,ask to windows user sry Jan 06 09:23:24 yes understand now Jan 06 09:23:38 another video converter Jan 06 09:23:43 but are u agree for ur videio quality?

Jan 06 09:26:47 nono my mean the same size and quality on pc Jan 06 09:27:03 for n810 Jan 06 09:27:10 original file without any convert Jan 06 09:27:48 and Jan 06 09:27:53 these are lie: Jan 06 09:27:53 Supported audio formats: AAC, MP3, WMA, AMR, AWB, M4A, MP2, RA (RealAudio), WAV Jan 06 09:27:53 Supported video formats: 3GP, AVI, H.263, H.264, MP4, ASF, WMV, MPEG-1, MPEG-4, RV 7/8/9 (RealVideo) Jan 06 09:27:59 lie lie lie????/ Jan 06 09:28:10 it's not a lie Jan 06 09:28:23 n810 can play AVI files or no? Jan 06 09:28:38 cos avi files = xvid = divx files Jan 06 09:28:44 just you can't compare a desktop 3Ghz with an arm 400MHz Jan 06 09:28:51 MPEG-4 is include on 810 too Jan 06 09:28:53 and avi is just a container Jan 06 09:29:04 mpeg4 is a video codec Jan 06 09:29:21 so can it play finally avil divx file or no? Jan 06 09:29:27 if you mix concepts you won't understand it Jan 06 09:30:02 so tell me which are the best video converters for n810? Jan 06 09:30:18 sigh. Jan 06 09:30:24 divx is mpeg4 so you can play it Jan 06 09:30:43 but you can play a clip 720x400 at 30 fps Jan 06 09:30:48 you can't Jan 06 09:31:18 on the IT there's not enough cpu power to decode it Jan 06 09:31:29 ive done some 24fps xvids Jan 06 09:31:33 oh yes Jan 06 09:31:39 you just have to watch the bitrate Jan 06 09:31:40 u right Jan 06 09:31:58 * rm_you drops in the middle of the conversation Jan 06 09:32:00 600k is the practical limit Jan 06 09:32:03 and the best video converter for n810?? Jan 06 09:32:24 if you use the 770-encode or tablet-encode script, i have found the following to be a very effective profile: Jan 06 09:32:26 what platform? Jan 06 09:33:18 n800 => { abitrate => 128, vbitrate => 1400, width => 400, height => 240, fps => 30 }, Jan 06 09:33:46 that's very high bitrate and fps, and with hardware pixel doubling, it looks BEAUTIFUL :) Jan 06 09:34:07 i hope that's on topic, as i really only caught the tail end of your conversation :P Jan 06 09:34:08 width => 400, height => 240????? Jan 06 09:34:13 yes Jan 06 09:34:25 but full screen Jan 06 09:34:26 400x2 = 800, 240x2 = 480 Jan 06 09:34:51 at that high bitrate and with the hardware pixel doubling, it seriously looks *awesome* Jan 06 09:34:53 yes it's cool Jan 06 09:35:36 if you try to go above 400x240, it will exceed the bandwidth of the bus the graphics chip is on and it will slow way down Jan 06 09:36:23 depends. ive done higher resolutions, but at lower fps Jan 06 09:36:34 right, but the tradeoff isn't worth it Jan 06 09:36:56 you have to drop to 20ish fps and significantly lower the bitrate to see comparable speeds Jan 06 09:37:13 i think i have a graph somewhere from my testing.... Jan 06 09:39:07 though for tv your approach is best Jan 06 09:40:13 one of the hardest clip that I played fine on my N800/IT2k8 is video/x-wmv, wmvversion=(int)3, framerate=(fraction)25/1, width=(int)320, height=(int)240, format=(fourcc)WMV3, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1, bitrate=(int)707705 Jan 06 09:40:38 if you have a movie at 24... Jan 06 09:40:39 and audio/x-wma, wmaversion=(int)2, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2, bitrate=(int)48024, depth=(int)16 Jan 06 09:41:08 well, the best test is to do it yourself and se Jan 06 09:41:09 *see Jan 06 09:41:20 just take that line, throw it into 770-encode, and run it on something Jan 06 09:41:20 btw Jan 06 09:41:20 https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mediaconverter/ is handy Jan 06 09:41:36 and check out the result on your n800 Jan 06 09:41:49 (i know you guys know, but the question was asked) Jan 06 09:42:19 Beurkk java :X Jan 06 09:42:28 i'm all for experimentation, so if you think you have something better, PLEASE compare that line to yours, and send me your encoding scheme so i can try it out :P Jan 06 09:42:40 i've spent days trying to come up with the best settings Jan 06 09:42:50 christ, media player has gone nuts Jan 06 09:42:57 is there a way for me to manually force a media rescan Jan 06 09:43:10 you use media player for videos? >_> Jan 06 09:43:27 does that work? Jan 06 09:43:35 it always lags me to death <_< Jan 06 09:43:41 no, for audio Jan 06 09:43:50 mplayer for vids Jan 06 09:44:07 ah Jan 06 09:44:09 actually, the only video i have is the n810 promo, just to show people Jan 06 09:44:12 lol Jan 06 09:44:19 Morning, all Jan 06 09:45:01 morning :) Jan 06 09:45:20 So, no one has a way to force media player to scan? Jan 06 09:45:51 "unable to complete operation" is all i get, along with a blank library Jan 06 09:45:58 :( Jan 06 09:46:05 can you remove its settings/cache? Jan 06 09:46:42 i dont know Jan 06 09:47:21 ive never gotten into its innards and there isnt much in the way of menu options Jan 06 09:51:43 Double click on the file from within File Manager? Jan 06 10:11:51 does using BT use a lot of power, if there is no activity? Jan 06 10:13:57 BT is designed to be very low power Jan 06 10:14:40 ah, thx Jan 06 10:14:56 i usually put the whole thing to offline mode when i dont use it Jan 06 10:15:13 ...which includes BT yes :D Jan 06 10:16:01 hmm, i see Jan 06 10:16:26 I have played with a palm tungsten during the holiday Jan 06 10:17:00 I really loved the way it worked , not complicated things like offline modes etc. it just keeps running for a long week Jan 06 10:17:27 * Jaffa thinks his N810's battery life has increased suckiness since installing Modest Jan 06 10:17:30 one button to lock/unlock , no "save file" dialogs. I must say... Jan 06 10:17:51 Yeah, the Psions were similar (although they had save dialogues, you didn't usually need to use them) Jan 06 10:17:58 I really missed irc :) Jan 06 10:18:42 Yeah, I hated PalmOS for its lack of multitasking; couldn't have an IRC window or SSH window open in the background whilst browsing the web. Was a deal-breaker for me. Jan 06 10:18:51 palms are toys compared to ITs Jan 06 10:19:05 palms are 2-3" cellphones Jan 06 10:19:11 even cheking my gmail was very fast (special pages made for the palm I think) but it really is a one touch operation and withint 5 seconds i know if i have mail Jan 06 10:19:13 ITT's are 4-5" computers Jan 06 10:19:31 I have in uninstall modest, and set gmail on the default client in pop ... Jan 06 10:19:36 I have do it :( Jan 06 10:19:44 I hope modest will be better :) Jan 06 10:19:46 pop? why not imap? Jan 06 10:20:00 too too too long to response Jan 06 10:20:08 keesj, the gmail notifyer beats 5 seconds :p Jan 06 10:20:15 osso-email sucks for IMAP Jan 06 10:20:30 osso-email is the default client? Jan 06 10:20:31 I always hava mail so the gmail notifier it pretty useless Jan 06 10:20:38 have Jan 06 10:20:45 atlas95: yeah Jan 06 10:20:50 then its an issue of cleanup :) Jan 06 10:21:11 osso-email is good ok, but too long to reponse in imap yet, AND it doesn't support imap folder .. Jan 06 10:21:25 does osso even support gmail? Jan 06 10:21:26 it is the must important thing in my mbox Jan 06 10:21:38 soume one could try to install this(http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/n770galaxy/IT2008/tuner_0.0.3_armel.deb) on a n810 and tell me if it works? Jan 06 10:21:56 AD-N770: what is this? for FM?

Jan 06 10:32:26 atlas95: I can not a pressent time , my wifi network does not allow my machines to connect to eachother directly Jan 06 10:32:51 atlas95: there also must be a simple javasscipt based tool to see what is taking the time Jan 06 10:34:10 tuner didn't run AD-N770 Jan 06 10:34:20 i search why Jan 06 10:34:21 ups Jan 06 10:35:18 atlas95: could you run it from an xterm?

Jan 06 10:48:53 If you do apt-get install as root, the red/blue pill mode doesn't make any difference. It's only a setting for the UI of the Application Manager Jan 06 10:49:26 ok Jaffa thx ;) Jan 06 10:49:51 the led bar and the text message tell you the note and the keyboard is used to produce reference notes Jan 06 10:50:37 ok, :p but i'm note english and i don't play guitar :d Jan 06 10:50:46 i don't understand the text Jan 06 10:50:54 i think C0 is a note..

Jan 06 10:53:57 /etc/apt/source.list? Jan 06 10:54:09 like in debian no? Jan 06 10:54:41 I've to add a dependency on my package to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-extra at same time that mine Jan 06 10:55:20 I think that's something that have to be added on the control file to build my deb package Jan 06 10:55:21 AD, I don't know how you build your packages, but your control file (usually debian/control) should have Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-extra Jan 06 10:55:53 AD, and it should be where you define the _binary_ package Jan 06 10:55:53 thanks inz, I add it now Jan 06 10:56:54 AD, do note that dependencies aren't istalled automatically if you install from file Jan 06 10:57:03 AD, only when installing from a repository Jan 06 10:59:24 inz: if it's installed from a file and the dependency isn't satisfied in the target system, do you know if there's any kind of warning message? Jan 06 11:00:53 AD, there's a failure message Jan 06 11:01:18 ok, I prefer this Jan 06 11:02:08 sigh.

I'm using GPE 2.8 on maemo and it crashes whenever i try to add category. Is this a known bug? I'm using OS2008 on an N800. Jan 06 13:21:48 it closes when you press add?= Jan 06 13:21:51 mine does to Jan 06 13:21:53 too Jan 06 13:22:14 yep Jan 06 13:22:33 yeah dunno whats causing it, dont need categories anyways Jan 06 13:23:24 I need them! :) Jan 06 13:24:11 lol Jan 06 13:24:20 file a bug report if there is something like that Jan 06 13:24:48 kulve: around? Jan 06 13:25:58 I should go look at their bug db Jan 06 13:55:05 anyone know how to access the ambient light sensor? Jan 06 13:57:49 Weird, flashing the latest OS2008 from Beta seems to have seriously increased my battery life. Jan 06 14:42:03 I'm about to flash my N800, with fanoush's latest, Can I run it as is, or are there any modules that are recommended? Jan 06 14:43:21 Hi all Jan 06 14:43:26 hi Jan 06 14:44:15 Has anyone flashed with fanoush's kernel? Jan 06 14:44:36 Dregz, I... my n770 Jan 06 14:44:51 Anyone change the browser id on this to be msie so I can connect to wellsfargo.com? Jan 06 14:44:52 Dregz, for 52mhz mmc Jan 06 14:45:27 z72ka_maemo, did you go with any modules? Jan 06 14:46:27 Dregz, yes, all modules works properly Jan 06 14:46:34 great , thanks Jan 06 14:47:14 sikor_sxe: pong Jan 06 14:48:01 Dregz, this kernel contains only some changes, I recommende it, system boost is good Jan 06 14:48:55 kulve: i read your posts on ITT and on your blog regarding mime-type integration and i wonder wether the mime-support is completely broken in FM or if it's just the priority which is broken Jan 06 14:49:38 maybe just the priority? It didn't seem to have much of an effect.. Jan 06 14:49:48 but I didn't play with it really.. Jan 06 14:50:06 i tried your mime testing tool from the bug-report however, and it does not seem to recognize my mime type there aswell :/ Jan 06 14:51:07 kulve, you happen to know how to access the ambient light sensor? Jan 06 14:51:24 Spacer: nope. I don't have n810 yet Jan 06 14:52:40 sikor_sxe: you added an xml file including the mime type? And run the update-mime-data-or-something? And added some .desktop file containing that mime type? And run update-hildon-desktop-database-or-something? Jan 06 14:52:55 yeah Jan 06 14:53:05 and the FM does even cut the file ending for those files Jan 06 14:53:16 it just claims there is no app to open it Jan 06 14:53:22 rartest.rar is shown as rartest Jan 06 14:56:04 ./hildon-mime-summon2 file:///home/user/rartest.rar says "Failed to launch hildon_mime_open_file: 0" tho Jan 06 14:56:11 i'm really puzzled here Jan 06 14:56:49 does the xml file have the glob *.rar? Jan 06 14:57:28 Jan 06 14:58:03 does file-command on your desktop recognize that as rar? Jan 06 14:58:35 file-command? Jan 06 14:59:17 is file-command a stock app? Jan 06 14:59:46 which file Jan 06 14:59:46 /usr/bin/file Jan 06 14:59:49 yup, very stock Jan 06 15:01:10 huh! Jan 06 15:01:23 i don't seem to have it installed Jan 06 15:01:29 odd Jan 06 15:01:38 there's no /usr/bin/file or /usr/sbin/file Jan 06 15:02:27 comes in a "file" package in debian etch Jan 06 15:02:38 it's installed in scratchbox however Jan 06 15:03:34 in scratchbox it recognizes it Jan 06 15:04:30 but file doesn't depend on mime, right? Jan 06 15:05:10 file --mime Jan 06 15:06:32 ../rartest.rar: application/x-rar Jan 06 15:06:51 so, it seems to be a valid file.. Jan 06 15:07:10 yeah, i can open it with my app Jan 06 15:07:34 then I think you have some mistake while updating the mime stuff to maemo.. Jan 06 15:08:10 grep rar /usr/share/mime/globs Jan 06 15:08:19 does that say something on the device? Jan 06 15:08:27 like this: Jan 06 15:08:28 Nokia-N800-50-2:~# grep mp3 /usr/share/mime/globs Jan 06 15:08:29 audio/x-mp3:*.mp3 Jan 06 15:08:37 application/x-rar:*.rar Jan 06 15:08:43 (on the device) Jan 06 15:09:25 and i guess it kind of got the mime type right, since FM displays it without file-ending Jan 06 15:09:31 hmm Jan 06 15:09:41 the .desktop file could be wrong Jan 06 15:09:50 grep Mime /usr/share/applications/hildon/your-app-here.desktop Jan 06 15:10:25 MimeType=application/x-rar; Jan 06 15:10:41 however the icons and stuff get displayed correctly Jan 06 15:12:05 is there more than one mime on the MimeType list? Just wondering if the ; is too much.. Jan 06 15:12:20 no Jan 06 15:12:26 i could try this Jan 06 15:14:03 hmm Jan 06 15:14:27 MimeType always seems to be terminated with a ; Jan 06 15:14:45 not in our app, kilikali.. Jan 06 15:14:49 MimeType=audio/x-ogg;application/ogg Jan 06 15:14:59 but maybe it's ok then Jan 06 15:15:30 and you've run this: Jan 06 15:15:31 update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications Jan 06 15:15:33 ? Jan 06 15:16:50 in postinst, yes Jan 06 15:17:38 and it gets processed, i checked this yet (put a touch /home/user/postinst.test in it) Jan 06 15:19:13 just run it by hand and try the mime-summon again Jan 06 15:19:54 hmm.. I wonder if the mime callback in the app affects this too.. Jan 06 15:20:17 i.e. your app gets the file through dbus after launched.. Jan 06 15:20:27 oh Jan 06 15:20:35 i did not implement this callback thingie Jan 06 15:21:40 and i totally ignored dbus so far Jan 06 15:22:05 http://maemo.org/api_refs/3.0/libosso/group__MIME.html#ga1 Jan 06 15:22:28 I think I never got that working and did the listening directly with dbus Jan 06 15:22:41 yeah i read this too, i don't get it however Jan 06 15:23:33 what does a callback function in my app have to do with FM recognizing a file and *starting* my app for it Jan 06 15:24:02 hmm.. Jan 06 15:24:29 yeah, I think you are right about that.. It should at least open your app before starting to wonder about dbus stuff.. Jan 06 15:25:32 yeah, that's why i ignored dbus so far, since you open an archive-program when you need it, and you rarely leave it open in the background Jan 06 15:25:41 where dbus would step in Jan 06 15:26:12 then again, maybe i'm just wrong about dbus Jan 06 15:28:39 D-Bus can activate your app when needed, the program doesn't need to be opened... Jan 06 15:29:50 i see Jan 06 15:30:13 and i guess that's the mechanism FM uses Jan 06 15:31:40 that would explain why my app doesn't even show up on the "select application" list Jan 06 15:32:01 * sikor_sxe reads up on dbus, thanks alot kulve & zuh Jan 06 15:32:07 np Jan 06 15:33:23 sikor_sxe: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/tutorials/maemo_4-0_tutorial.html#D-BUS-servicefile Jan 06 15:33:32 there's something about it Jan 06 15:48:39 can i use any bluetooth gps receiver with a N800? Jan 06 15:49:01 the answer is yes Jan 06 15:52:23 I would stay away from navman since the pin is 'navman' and you can't use letters on the N800 to pair bluetooth devices Jan 06 15:52:42 s/navman/alphanumeric Jan 06 15:59:22 Well, you can ;) Jan 06 15:59:40 But not using the key pairing facility maemo provides. Jan 06 16:00:21 * Palintheus nods Jan 06 16:05:17 Palintheus: ok Jan 06 16:14:58 ffs Jan 06 16:15:20 Damn tablets-dev is offline.

Jan 06 17:01:11 only thing i know about batteries is if they start to smoke: run - fast Jan 06 17:01:46 i read the batteryuniversity article, and composed a thread on our forum about it (for music players). if you have the time, can you read through it and see i havent gotten anything seriousely wrong? http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?p=201604#post201604 Jan 06 17:04:21 * lcuk wonders what kind of battery he has in his 810 Jan 06 17:05:26 * lcuk didnt bother to check and now doesnt want to take the back off again (its so flimsy) :S Jan 06 17:05:39 lol Jan 06 17:06:30 i know the lipo that my helicopter has enjoys a good workout - fully charged to drained cycles are better than part Jan 06 17:06:47 and it needs taking off after its recharged Jan 06 17:07:04 but i didnt think it mattered for nokias/phones in general Jan 06 17:07:34 lipo charger = direct onto battery, phones/pdas/810 etc = charging circuit Jan 06 17:08:17 * lcuk thinks he is right cos cpts article says so Jan 06 17:09:20 lol Jan 06 17:09:43 here's the full one i read before i posted mine: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm Jan 06 17:13:20 lcuk, it's a BP-4L Lithium Ion battery Jan 06 17:15:14 Cptnodegard, looks pretty good information wise to me. Jan 06 17:17:34 thx :) Jan 06 17:18:11 cpt, the only thing i would say (apart from it looks great) is that I personally still recommend people charge their new devices first. if for no other reason than it gives them a chance to sit down (even if for only 5 minutes) and actually read the instructions and prevent any user errors from occuring Jan 06 17:18:30 lol! Jan 06 17:18:36 thats actually a good point Jan 06 17:18:44 ill put that in Jan 06 17:18:46 it might be fine from a hardware side, but very important thing to do Jan 06 17:19:56 hi there.

You'll have to be patient. Jan 06 18:26:13 ok Jan 06 18:26:28 is there any software to log a gps route? Jan 06 18:28:34 there is a section in the wiki about 2007, but from what i gather most '07 code wont work in 08 Jan 06 18:28:55 * lcuk doesn't know of the complexities with getting 07 stuff working in 08 Jan 06 18:29:46 magic, heres the wiki http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howtousegpsframeworkinos2007/ Jan 06 18:30:15 if it works for 08 or can be adapted to do so let us know :) Jan 06 18:33:27 I got an 8gb SD card the other day, it was a dud so now I have to RMA it which may take weeks :( Jan 06 18:33:38 yea im thinking about writing up a quick script to log a route Jan 06 18:37:01 are there any ports of xboard or other chess games?

Jan 06 19:20:43 planets AND MOONS then :p Jan 06 19:20:48 Only my friends use that hostname ;) Jan 06 19:20:54 looool Jan 06 19:21:11 Yes, I started using moons when I'd used all the cool planet names. Jan 06 19:21:19 wonder whats on uranus.com... im afraid to look Jan 06 19:21:21 Pluto and Uranus were a no-no. Jan 06 19:21:42 Vulcan Jan 06 19:21:45 kronos Jan 06 19:21:49 Trill Jan 06 19:21:52 Mars didn't really have much appeal either. Jan 06 19:21:52 Betazed Jan 06 19:21:57 And Saturn was an old machine. Jan 06 19:22:08 Proteus is my N810 :) Jan 06 19:22:14 lol Jan 06 19:22:19 mine's Nokia N800 Jan 06 19:22:22 im very imaginative Jan 06 19:22:23 Hah Jan 06 19:22:31 My N800 is Neptune Jan 06 19:22:40 why, you drowned it? :d Jan 06 19:22:59 Luckily not, despite how long it spends with me in the bath. Jan 06 19:23:13 my home computer is Xanadu, only one with fake name i think Jan 06 19:23:13 http://www.stargate-sg1-solutions.com/wiki/Planets_By_Episode :) Jan 06 19:23:31 stargate <3 Jan 06 19:23:39 newest atlantis episode was the best thing ever Jan 06 19:23:46 Oh, SG-1. How I miss it. Jan 06 19:23:54 I've not watched it yet. Shuddup :P Jan 06 19:24:12 i want to marry that episode and have baby webisodes with it Jan 06 19:24:37 how do i get my nit visible on my windows network? Jan 06 19:24:38 Hah Jan 06 19:24:43 * lcuk is ashamed Jan 06 19:24:49 lcuk, how do you mean visible? Jan 06 19:25:01 showing up in net neighbourhood Jan 06 19:25:03 Can ye not ping'th it? Jan 06 19:25:07 so i can direct copy etc Jan 06 19:25:10 i can ping it Jan 06 19:25:18 its 810 Jan 06 19:25:23 Use OpenSSH and pscp Jan 06 19:25:26 Or psftp Jan 06 19:25:32 psftp would be better. Jan 06 19:25:41 psftp makes it accessible through ftp client yes? Jan 06 19:25:55 No, it's an FTP _like_ client that uses the SSH protocol. Jan 06 19:26:09 It has nice drag and drop/explorer features. Jan 06 19:26:16 scp is just command line. Jan 06 19:26:22 i meant accessing the IT with a computer based ftp client Jan 06 19:26:28 i did that with my nintendo DS once Jan 06 19:26:41 i dont really hate USB cables enough to bother though xD Jan 06 19:26:44 You'd need to install an FTP daemon to do that, which isn't advised as it's pretty insecure :P Jan 06 19:26:56 so theres no simple way to access shared net drive like i can do in reverse Jan 06 19:26:57 filezilla Jan 06 19:26:58 I use sshfs personally. Jan 06 19:27:17 and SFTP Jan 06 19:27:19 (can see windows shares from 810 file manager Jan 06 19:27:24 lcuk, psftp is simple. Jan 06 19:27:32 ok ill give it a try :) Jan 06 19:27:52 lcuk, that's because your computers are advetising those files to the world. The N810 doesn't have samba installed. Jan 06 19:28:01 I'm not even sure anyone has package samba .. Jan 06 19:28:08 yeah, don't think so yet Jan 06 19:28:09 i tried streaming a 3gp video off my cell with BT today, im still getting used to having something that is capable of doign such "magic" tricks Jan 06 19:28:09 you can nfs Jan 06 19:28:19 ding! so its samba that i need Jan 06 19:28:21 sshfs is just far cooler :P Jan 06 19:28:21 I nfs mount my media server on boot.. Jan 06 19:28:27 you wish, lcuk Jan 06 19:28:29 but you don't receive Jan 06 19:28:31 ;) Jan 06 19:28:45 lol i want it all Jan 06 19:28:49 * lcuk will get it Jan 06 19:29:11 lcuk, if you _really_ want to do that, yes. But I would not advise it. If you're a linux newb building it and installing it on the device is going to be tricky. Then you need to configure it and make sure it's secure. Or not running when you're out of the house. Jan 06 19:29:30 the easiest way to get access is psftp Jan 06 19:29:32 i only use it with this single connection Jan 06 19:29:42 anything else is going to require hackery Jan 06 19:29:46 Yes, psftp is the way to go if you're on windows .. Jan 06 19:29:58 WebDAV may be a viable solution.. Jan 06 19:30:03 the outside world is secured (hw fw) and i just need to get a few bits of code sent over Jan 06 19:30:08 if we had more memory. Jan 06 19:30:28 * fysa is bugged by the amount of memory wasted in an idling maemo setup Jan 06 19:30:58 20MB free with 'nothing' running Jan 06 19:31:05 hildon is a hog Jan 06 19:31:21 fysa, just thank god its not vista, or you would have no flash mem either ;) Jan 06 19:31:36 fysa, ram or onboard memory? Jan 06 19:31:42 RAM Jan 06 19:31:53 on-board flash is passable Jan 06 19:32:05 'just' Jan 06 19:32:13 configure the internal memory cardto work as ram Jan 06 19:32:26 I have swap on.. which is fine Jan 06 19:32:50 but swap is basically usable as a buffer against applications crashing Jan 06 19:33:08 stil new to this thing so havent figured everythign out Jan 06 19:33:09 if you really get into it, everything (browser especially) crawls Jan 06 19:33:16 havent installed any app to see ram usage Jan 06 19:33:35 I know we could squeeze another 20MB out of the system somewhere.. Jan 06 19:33:51 whats using all the memory? doesnt it have 128 ram? Jan 06 19:34:10 let's see if my device is awake.. Jan 06 19:34:28 whats the process info ap called? Jan 06 19:34:37 ps (with args) Jan 06 19:34:37 or top Jan 06 19:34:55 there is a tasktray icon you can install to see memory/CPU usage and dump process list Jan 06 19:35:26 hmm what repository is it in? Jan 06 19:36:07 I don't remember, I got them from the maemo repository .. repository. Jan 06 19:36:21 one sec Jan 06 19:36:37 its called "load-applet" Jan 06 19:37:08 what is that site -- maybe justdave Jan 06 19:37:11 * lcuk doesn't know where it comes from tho Jan 06 19:37:22 only top i could find was htop Jan 06 19:37:25 for os2008 Jan 06 19:37:27 apt-cache showpkg Jan 06 19:37:55 load-applet is process info? Jan 06 19:37:58 https://garage.maemo.org/projects/load-applet/ Jan 06 19:38:04 yes Jan 06 19:38:08 thx Jan 06 19:38:24 shows cpu/mem/lists processes allows screenshots Jan 06 19:38:56 Nokia-N800-44-4:~# ps aux | grep browser Jan 06 19:38:56 1369 user 131724 SW /usr/bin/browser Jan 06 19:38:57 found it Jan 06 19:39:13 browser using 101% of memory is not fun Jan 06 19:39:26 103.7% Jan 06 19:39:28 i see firefox is runnin as normal then ;) Jan 06 19:39:49 no kidding Jan 06 19:39:56 lol Jan 06 19:40:07 i have way more than 20MB free when not runnning anything Jan 06 19:40:16 well.. Jan 06 19:40:18 do a couple of things. Jan 06 19:40:23 use it for a day, then quit those apps Jan 06 19:40:52 is there any way to make the tray wider? Jan 06 19:40:55 you will get some daemons that spawn Jan 06 19:41:02 ive got 2mb free Jan 06 19:41:10 and they don't always close themselves peacefully for me Jan 06 19:41:50 * lcuk vanquishes fysa's deamons Jan 06 19:42:13 1365 user 63500 SW /usr/bin/osso_rss_feed_reader Jan 06 19:42:21 that is also horrible Jan 06 19:42:30 maemo-lancher is runnin 79% of mem at 100mb! Jan 06 19:42:32 ops Jan 06 19:42:38 * lcuk doesn't even know what it does Jan 06 19:42:39 yeah, maemo-launcher is the other Jan 06 19:43:58 wtf is maemo launcher? Jan 06 19:44:07 http://maemomm.garage.maemo.org/docs/tutorial/html/ch07.html Jan 06 19:44:20 maemo-launcher is a tool to decrease the start-up time of GTK+ and thus gtkmm and maemomm applications. It runs as a daemon and initializes as much as possible before your application begins to start. When a new application is started it is forked from the deamon process, so its starts faster because the initialization is already complete. Jan 06 19:44:38 that is the problem. Jan 06 19:44:55 its only a problem if it leaks Jan 06 19:44:55 why in gods name would anyone install that thing if it auses all the ram? o0 Jan 06 19:44:58 as soon as the system dips into swap, maemo-launcher should consider flushing itself Jan 06 19:45:00 i dont mind things runnin if they help Jan 06 19:45:08 right Jan 06 19:45:17 however, mediaplayer-eng is stuck in memory and i barely play things with it Jan 06 19:45:50 basically, maemo-launcher is for devices with slow filesystems Jan 06 19:46:13 but if maemo-launcher can't get out of firefox's way, it's directly causing a condition it was designed to prevent Jan 06 19:46:31 i use the internal web browser Jan 06 19:46:35 find nothing wrong with it Jan 06 19:46:38 that's firefox Jan 06 19:46:40 then again i have a psp :p Jan 06 19:46:43 i so as well - minimo = firefox for mobiles Jan 06 19:46:52 ah i see Jan 06 19:47:14 we should be able to disable maemo launcher and run things normally if this is all it does. Jan 06 19:47:30 I will play around with it on/off Jan 06 19:47:40 uninstall it :p Jan 06 19:47:56 I'll just kill it ;) Jan 06 19:48:04 im not uninstalling things, but killing them lol Jan 06 19:48:05 what's the easiest ssh server to install on the n770? Jan 06 19:48:13 openssh from the repo Jan 06 19:48:21 then set root password somehow (there are guides) Jan 06 19:48:24 can i do it via the package manager on the device? Jan 06 19:48:24 Was "osso_uri_open" removed in Chinook? Jan 06 19:48:29 fysa, it prompts. Jan 06 19:48:39 http://www.google.com/search?q=770+ssh+root Jan 06 19:48:40 yeah i set the root pw alreadty Jan 06 19:48:42 cool. Jan 06 19:49:39 10 unique results all showing instructions on ssh for the 770 :) Jan 06 19:50:11 im looking .. Jan 06 19:50:11 bet nokia are surprised the 770 lasted so long Jan 06 19:50:43 they need to market all the IT's more Jan 06 19:50:55 maybe. Jan 06 19:50:58 i dont think they can - ppl expect slick Jan 06 19:51:09 they need the community to grow and develop more killer apps first Jan 06 19:51:12 people are stupid Jan 06 19:51:16 this nit is cool - i have linux in my pocket - but its no i***** Jan 06 19:51:20 word, and even if they did, how much would that increase sales..what's the ROI/ Jan 06 19:51:27 I was *this* close to getting one for my mother for christmas. Jan 06 19:51:31 word, niche is cool Jan 06 19:51:32 heh Jan 06 19:51:36 unless theres a retarded looking paper clip in the bottom of the screen telling them what to do, people run away :D Jan 06 19:51:41 hah Jan 06 19:51:43 but it's not quite there yet. Jan 06 19:51:51 even windows users loath mr clip Jan 06 19:52:07 no - ppl bought computers before without that - spectrums c64s amigas etc Jan 06 19:52:26 but what they had was a clear route as to what was available and how to use it Jan 06 19:52:36 UI brings all of this complexity that you don't need Jan 06 19:52:38 i keep finding myself in the position of telling people what i got for christmas, when i say i got money and bouth a n800 internet tablett, people go ?.? Jan 06 19:52:44 because you have to present a user with every possible option simultaneously Jan 06 19:52:54 when you typed commands in, you only knew the commands you needed to know Jan 06 19:53:16 so you could get anyone to pop a floppy into a C64 and type LOAD "*",8,1 Jan 06 19:53:21 it's are too advanced for most people to grasp the concept Jan 06 19:53:25 world is funy that way Jan 06 19:53:36 for now it is - but its getting easier Jan 06 19:54:00 they need to stop teaching crap in school and start teaching people useful stuff Jan 06 19:54:06 Apple's interfaces are good at removing excess options/choices Jan 06 19:54:20 im studying economics, and 95% of the class are too stupid to use the basic functions in excel Jan 06 19:54:21 but useful is a bit of WP, some spreadsheets, how to IM and stuff Jan 06 19:54:59 Linux is the worst of all. every possible feature and option is presented. Jan 06 19:55:06 7 times over Jan 06 19:55:16 KDE itself has thousands of configuration options Jan 06 19:55:19 (and in no way complaining) Jan 06 19:55:24 when i copy a file to the n770 via us Jan 06 19:55:25 b Jan 06 19:55:29 where does it go in the local FS? Jan 06 19:55:38 it can take you 30 minutes to find/change a setting in the old KDE file manager Jan 06 19:55:44 where you put it, sk Jan 06 19:55:52 when i access it via usb Jan 06 19:55:55 but this will all change eventually. Jan 06 19:55:56 i onlt have access to one folder Jan 06 19:56:02 huh Jan 06 19:56:12 I can't move up the tree/dir Jan 06 19:56:14 770 different from 800/810 then Jan 06 19:56:31 I think you have to put the device into a different mode or something? Jan 06 19:56:36 really ..? Jan 06 19:56:39 i can see files Jan 06 19:56:46 what OS? Jan 06 19:56:50 like /btscanner /kismet $RECYCLE.BIN Jan 06 19:56:50 which files? Jan 06 19:56:54 2006 Jan 06 19:56:58 ah Jan 06 19:57:00 i just don't know where those are locally Jan 06 19:57:01 doesnt it support 2008? Jan 06 19:57:11 i believe the n770 does Jan 06 19:57:14 put into /media/mmc2 i think Jan 06 19:57:17 or mmc1 Jan 06 19:57:18 i looked there Jan 06 19:57:21 both places Jan 06 19:57:22 or somewhere Jan 06 19:57:23 nothing Jan 06 19:57:29 you check /home/user? Jan 06 19:57:30 oooer Jan 06 19:57:39 you shoudl check if it supports newer OSes Jan 06 19:57:40 i believe so, isn't that my cwd when i invoke xterm? Jan 06 19:57:42 ask clippy ;) Jan 06 19:57:47 yeah Jan 06 19:57:52 oh lemme see Jan 06 19:57:59 find . | grep btscanner Jan 06 19:58:45 cd / first Jan 06 20:00:28 its looking now Jan 06 20:00:43 i miss the drive noise when a search is occuring Jan 06 20:00:56 i can tell where its upto and which drive its on Jan 06 20:02:09 so you think i should upgrade to 2008? Jan 06 20:02:11 for the n770 Jan 06 20:02:16 at least 2007 Jan 06 20:02:22 check apps first before 2008 though Jan 06 20:02:27 ok Jan 06 20:02:36 make sure the ports you need for day-to-day use are up on os2008.. some were slow coming Jan 06 20:02:46 no, i dont use this thing for day to day Jan 06 20:02:52 im attempt to dev on it Jan 06 20:03:01 (ing) Jan 06 20:03:36 yeah, I bluetooth keyboard/ssh to dev server (drupal/php/python/java) and get 'real work' done Jan 06 20:03:44 day-2-day for a dev is libraries Jan 06 20:03:54 heh Jan 06 20:03:56 bluetooth keyboard seems a little laggy for me, but it's mostly usable Jan 06 20:04:10 I'd love to see an N800 with built-in 3M mini projector that was just released Jan 06 20:04:11 i plan on using scratchbox Jan 06 20:04:22 i got it setup and compiled some c Jan 06 20:04:25 as long as all keystrokes are done in the correct order, whats a bit of lag between devices ;) Jan 06 20:04:26 I'd love to see working repos :( Jan 06 20:04:29 i'll proably switch to python Jan 06 20:04:30 I could get more use if the tiny screen could be shown at 30-40" Jan 06 20:04:58 fysa - i got x11vnc and view on big monitor Jan 06 20:05:00 yeah, exactly lcuk. it still works, and I still feel missed keys before I see them Jan 06 20:05:34 http://gizmodo.com/340816/half+inch-thick-mobile-projector-with-vga-resolution-is-available-now-from-3m Jan 06 20:05:35 i can't find the damn files Jan 06 20:06:38 N800 with that would be killer. Jan 06 20:06:43 oh Jan 06 20:06:44 shit Jan 06 20:06:47 then you do this: Jan 06 20:06:58 remove the IR filter on the webcam Jan 06 20:07:10 point webcam at projected image Jan 06 20:07:17 sk, find them from the filemanager? Jan 06 20:07:19 using LED pen, you can have interactive touchscreen on the wall Jan 06 20:07:24 with the same touch hildon interface Jan 06 20:07:36 tank-man: I tried that Jan 06 20:07:52 use a wiimote and led pen as source Jan 06 20:07:54 fysa, someone did that with led pen+wiimote for the pc Jan 06 20:08:00 yeah, you could do it with wiimote too Jan 06 20:08:28 but if the device had a removable (flip switch/hit button) IR filter on the internal webcam.. Jan 06 20:08:31 you wouldn't need it. Jan 06 20:08:36 sk: I know that in 2007/2008, what the USB is doing is turning the device into an SD card reader >_> Jan 06 20:08:43 you can simulate motion tracking with a simple webcam and no hacks Jan 06 20:08:44 wiimote has detection hardware which you would have to code up to use webcam Jan 06 20:08:47 yeah Jan 06 20:08:48 haha Jan 06 20:08:51 but it won't be as high dpi Jan 06 20:08:56 no, you don't usee motion detection for this lcuk Jan 06 20:08:57 you can't access the memory card when its plugged into USB Jan 06 20:09:01 that's why i couldn't see the files Jan 06 20:09:01 you only use the wii's CCD Jan 06 20:09:10 weaksauce all over my face Jan 06 20:09:12 sk: so when you are presented with the top level of the drive, it is either /media/mmc1 or /media/mmc2 >_> Jan 06 20:09:13 1024x768 120hz (or 60hz) CCD Jan 06 20:09:24 ah lol Jan 06 20:09:25 and you pick up reflected IR light Jan 06 20:09:27 yeah :P Jan 06 20:09:29 yer i know you use the ccd - but if you use a webcam, you must code up the image scanning and detection, with wiimote, you just get points Jan 06 20:10:06 i'm just trying to see if the c code im compiled and ran on scratchbox will actually run on the device Jan 06 20:10:09 word thanks guys Jan 06 20:10:10 the image from the wiimote sensor is processed onboard the mote (as far as i know) Jan 06 20:10:12 no, you just need to remove the IR filter ;) Jan 06 20:10:43 see: TrackIR homebrew Jan 06 20:12:13 http://www.free-track.net/english/hardware/webcam_filter_removal.php?PHPSESSID=ab1341e6748966a888d99d0e6431f5f4 Jan 06 20:12:33 the key is to track IR light and not visible light Jan 06 20:12:40 and provide a source, that's why you see dots for the wii Jan 06 20:12:52 it's giving you an image of the dots emitting from the sensor bar Jan 06 20:12:56 (but processed) Jan 06 20:13:10 http://www.thewretched.org/trackir.html Jan 06 20:13:16 the linux trackIR driver would do what you need. Jan 06 20:13:37 TrackIR is just a $150 60fps webcam with the IR filter removed Jan 06 20:14:12 anyway, enough dreaming.. Jan 06 20:14:14 I think you guys are talking past each other Jan 06 20:14:19 is that better quality than the wiimote IR sensor? Jan 06 20:14:22 the wii really does send coordinates, not images Jan 06 20:14:29 but yes, you can do the same thing with images and filtering Jan 06 20:14:48 but like i said, using the webcam/driver you need linux to actually scan the data for the entire image and identify the points, using the wiimote you have built in support for 4 point sources identified on the mote itself Jan 06 20:14:51 my point is that the wiimote is cool and I use it at home to control my Linux HTPC and love wiimote hacks Jan 06 20:15:14 but if they're giving us a built-in mini-projector.. Jan 06 20:15:25 I'd like a built-in IR tracking for LED stylus usage also ;) Jan 06 20:15:26 would nokia be fast enough to scan it all and be usable for other stuff? Jan 06 20:15:30 Hi Jan 06 20:15:49 the coolest would be to set the device up on its stand.. Jan 06 20:16:06 there *is* a secondary dsp, lcuk ;-) Jan 06 20:16:09 and project the image right onto the desk Jan 06 20:16:24 or have it sit on my coffee table shooting RSS at the wall Jan 06 20:16:32 there is also full powervr 3d hardware - having it there doesn't mean its usable Jan 06 20:16:48 the DSP is usable Jan 06 20:16:59 * lcuk retracts his rant ;) Jan 06 20:18:50 The c code wouldn't run Jan 06 20:18:55 is aptitude ever going to be part of maemo?

Jan 06 20:24:35 wtf Jan 06 20:26:06 hello Jan 06 20:26:09 welcome to the world of embedded platforms, sk ;-) Jan 06 20:26:16 haha Jan 06 20:26:20 i want to go home Jan 06 20:26:20 = [ Jan 06 20:26:34 so can i get ld/ldconfig? Jan 06 20:26:43 if any of the elf utils (objdump, elfdump, et al.) are available, you might be able to get linking information from them Jan 06 20:26:44 * BugBlue wants to go in, but I have to wait 2 weeks until they sell the N810 here Jan 06 20:26:48 otherwise, there's always scratchbox :-) Jan 06 20:26:57 it works on scratchbox Jan 06 20:27:04 i cp the .c binary to the device Jan 06 20:27:06 and it doesn't run Jan 06 20:27:16 nice Jan 06 20:27:37 you have to compile .c files Jan 06 20:28:01 yeah I know Jan 06 20:28:12 you're probably missing a dependency on the device Jan 06 20:28:16 i compiled it in scratchbox and cp the binary to the device Jan 06 20:28:17 what does it say is missing? Jan 06 20:28:54 libhildon-1.so.0 Jan 06 20:30:27 ls Jan 06 20:30:39 heh, opps Jan 06 20:31:01 can someone tell me something about serial USB support on the N810? Jan 06 20:31:59 hrm, time to start investigating alsa-lib Jan 06 20:32:13 :) Jan 06 20:32:55 What's a good editor for python under chinook? Jan 06 20:33:16 vi? Jan 06 20:33:27 i use pygtkeditor - its the only one ive found Jan 06 20:33:29 hi Jan 06 20:33:34 vim? >_> Jan 06 20:33:47 rm_you, I'm use to gvim in particular. Jan 06 20:34:04 well, if you're used to gvim, then you know the commands/keys for vim :P Jan 06 20:34:13 Nope Jan 06 20:34:17 unless you lean REALLY heavily on the GUI part :/ Jan 06 20:34:24 I do Jan 06 20:34:27 :( Jan 06 20:34:40 learning to really use VI is a good thing in the long run Jan 06 20:34:44 so you may as well start Jan 06 20:34:47 :P Jan 06 20:35:13 No thanks, I rather get some code done Jan 06 20:35:16 sci: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/pygtkeditor/ Jan 06 20:35:29 has a "play" button ;) Jan 06 20:35:56 shame i only use it to run python stuff Jan 06 20:36:02 * lcuk misses his tabkey Jan 06 20:36:16 lol Jan 06 20:36:38 how could nokia have left off such an important key Jan 06 20:37:00 scibot: well, it does have a decent learning curve, i admit :( though I code probably 50% faster in VI than any other editor now because of the power it gives me Jan 06 20:37:27 it just took me two years of practice to break even :P Jan 06 20:37:29 I just don't have the patience for it right now. Jan 06 20:37:35 rm_you, are you really taking about vi and not vim? Jan 06 20:37:56 i use the term interchangably at this point, but really talking about vim Jan 06 20:38:27 in that case I fully agree with you Jan 06 20:40:19 i mean *really*, all you need to be able to do at first is keep good track of what mode you're in, and remember to hit ESC a lot and "i" to start typing :) and then it is basically notepad with syntax highlighting Jan 06 20:40:28 and you can pick stuff up from there Jan 06 20:41:08 oh, and :w to save, :q to quit, :wq to do both, and :q! to abort changes and quit Jan 06 20:41:23 using vi with the thumb keyboard is really a pain Jan 06 20:41:57 it isn't too bad... i've gotten used to it. though, the version of vim that is in maemo seems more like VI than VIM >_> Jan 06 20:42:00 the three keys I use the most with vim must be "m", "`", and "A". Jan 06 20:43:11 Thanks lcuk, pygtkeditor will work well for now. Jan 06 20:43:53 hrm... i'm not even sure i know what "m" does >_> Jan 06 20:43:54 Oh and the keyboard lacks home/end/pgup/down keys, so I'll have to map some combos later. Jan 06 20:44:25 mini 810 kb, or bluetooth one Jan 06 20:44:36 Apple BT Jan 06 20:44:48 lol Jan 06 20:44:48 lights on now lol Jan 06 20:45:07 * lcuk thought it was the dogs bollards ;) Jan 06 20:45:13 As soon as I figure xmodmap out. Jan 06 20:45:31 will xmodmap work for the 810 hardware keys? Jan 06 20:45:49 * lcuk will change the D pad middle buton for tab in a haertbeat Jan 06 20:45:53 I don't see why not Jan 06 20:46:12 gah! i still cant type/spell at all and im on the big kb Jan 06 20:46:26 i hope it doesnt map enter itself to something else Jan 06 20:47:38 Anyway I'll be mapping the fn + arrows to home/end/pgup/pgdown Jan 06 21:00:04 anyone have an idea to fix that missing .so Jan 06 21:00:27 libhildon-1.so.0? Jan 06 21:00:46 when running a c binary im compiled in sb-arm and cp to the n770 Jan 06 21:03:23 is the framework set to os2006 or have you compiled it against one of the newer ones? Jan 06 21:03:50 great question, i dont know.I followed the directions at http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/4.0/INSTALL.txt Jan 06 21:04:12 the 770 cannot handle os2008/chinook/4.0 yet can it? Jan 06 21:04:49 i thought that the 770 was a casualty of upgrading, ie its supported in os2006, ninja support in 2007 but not yet in 08 Jan 06 21:05:06 I really don't know, this is all very new to me Jan 06 21:05:07 which os have you got installed on the device itself Jan 06 21:05:09 oh crap.. /tmp tmpfs is only 512k Jan 06 21:05:11 I've been reading a shit load Jan 06 21:05:18 lcuk : 2006 I believe Jan 06 21:05:32 and it's created inside initfs... Jan 06 21:05:54 its all new to me as well - i got an 810 (with os2008) and have had similar probs but mainly because the docs are geared towards os2007 Jan 06 21:06:34 phew... "mount -o remount,size=1024K /tmp" worked Jan 06 21:06:37 ill fire up my vmware session and have a look Jan 06 21:06:57 word, thanks Jan 06 21:08:05 on the desktop of the default install there are icons for binaries bora(2007) and chinook(2008) i think you will need to get the 2006 SDK installed and compile with that Jan 06 21:08:22 oh lord Jan 06 21:08:34 i thought I finally had the sdk setup Jan 06 21:08:46 alternatively, you could just install python and try coding that way Jan 06 21:09:04 what are you testing? Jan 06 21:09:26 we are doing some bluetooth dev Jan 06 21:09:32 python should be fine vs c Jan 06 21:09:53 may be the simplest approach - thats what i ended up doing Jan 06 21:10:01 word Jan 06 21:10:15 would I still need to switch sdks? Jan 06 21:10:19 learning a new language (with a big support library) was easier than going through dependency hell Jan 06 21:10:31 do i even need the sdk for python dev/ Jan 06 21:10:42 i code in windows now and will tweak the hildon specifics later Jan 06 21:10:44 well, I can test the aps on xephyer i guess Jan 06 21:11:01 do i have to setup anything special on the n770 to run the python code? Jan 06 21:11:06 modules, libarries and what not/ Jan 06 21:11:07 python+gtk apps work on nokia Jan 06 21:11:14 yeah i get that Jan 06 21:11:17 probs just those 2^ Jan 06 21:11:22 aight Jan 06 21:11:22 thats all i needed Jan 06 21:11:43 hope theres an install for python on your 770 tho.. Jan 06 21:11:52 perhaps someone with knowledge will stop lurking ;) Jan 06 21:12:00 that reminds me that I need to spend some time with Python soon Jan 06 21:12:15 every man needs to spend more time with his snake Jan 06 21:12:20 ermmmm python i mean Jan 06 21:12:31 as I have zero desire to write a GUI application from scratch in C ;-) Jan 06 21:12:45 well you dont need to - gtk works Jan 06 21:12:49 do people generally think PyGtk is good? Jan 06 21:13:07 and with python, if you find its not great, you can make a gtk extension in c and use it from python Jan 06 21:13:09 best all round Jan 06 21:13:17 i certainly do Jan 06 21:13:27 word Jan 06 21:13:35 sure, I'm familiar with Gtk, C/Gtk, and scripting in general, I simply have never used Python Jan 06 21:13:43 theres plenty of source and examples and help around Jan 06 21:13:47 yeah i think you can install python from the application manager Jan 06 21:14:00 (I'm a Pidgin developer, so I've had enough contact with Gtk to appreciate what it is and isn't in its native form) Jan 06 21:14:12 another plus is being able to just run uncompiled Jan 06 21:14:24 cool Jan 06 21:14:31 yeah, that's a huge + Jan 06 21:14:38 (which is why I have no desire to write a GUI app from scratch in C ;-)) Jan 06 21:14:51 lol Jan 06 21:15:12 I personally missed the Python generation altogether, and skipped straight from Perl to Ruby, is all Jan 06 21:15:49 ive been stuck in vb for years now (jumped from C on my amiga to pc+vb) Jan 06 21:16:11 i mostly write php lately Jan 06 21:16:13 * lcuk hates to admit the vb part Jan 06 21:16:15 little perl and c Jan 06 21:16:25 vb's cool for some stuff i guess Jan 06 21:16:27 * lcuk is even more ashamed that he likes it Jan 06 21:17:19 ive had 2 weeks now (off all xmas) to find a dev env i like and every single one has been better than .net Jan 06 21:17:34 (which my boss is trying to move us to) Jan 06 21:17:45 stupid gmail :( Jan 06 21:18:00 i want n800 to leave the messages online, and thunderbird to download them Jan 06 21:18:01 lcuk: I'm quite fond the the Visual Studio environment Jan 06 21:18:09 of the* Jan 06 21:18:46 i have loads of niggly problems with it Jan 06 21:19:45 yeah i couldn't get into vs dev, w/c# or Jan 06 21:20:10 it slows me down too much Jan 06 21:21:06 simple things like finishing code, clicking a tree element and having to wait while the ide decides i am allowed to view the designer for it Jan 06 21:21:23 * lcuk is too quick Jan 06 21:22:00 how well does mono work on the nit?

Jan 06 23:59:43 grandcentral.com/mobile is much quicker to use on the tablet. Jan 07 00:00:48 well Jan 07 00:01:05 my CenterStation will not accept my Gizmo Number :/ Jan 07 00:01:28 sorry, GrandCentral Jan 07 00:02:21 centerstation?

Jan 07 00:16:49 business can't be so good Jan 07 00:17:11 google is not the problem Jan 07 00:17:47 google is basically just calling your gizmo number and the number you dialed, and connecting you two. Jan 07 00:18:26 but then again, i did try to call my gizmo number from my cellphone, and got an error message. Jan 07 00:19:15 i say google should just buy gizmo, like its buying everything else. Jan 07 00:22:30 Anyone know if you can get the flasher to create a fiasco image from the device? Jan 07 00:24:43 so the repos were fixed.... Jan 07 00:27:50 xmms for The Maemo, hildonize?

Jan 07 00:45:04 or cellphone. Jan 07 00:45:20 o ok Jan 07 00:45:28 you will get an error message, something about the 747 not being valid. Jan 07 00:45:34 i was calling the GrandCentral one Jan 07 00:45:44 yes Jan 07 00:45:47 that will work. Jan 07 00:46:00 somehow it dials the 747 number and gets thru. Jan 07 00:46:31 so give out the the grancentral number, and people will be able to call you. Jan 07 00:47:24 when you answer, bring up the DTFM dailing pad, and press 1 to answer. Jan 07 00:51:46 grandcentral just makes a free sip to sip voip call ( http://www.sipphone.com/basics/ ) Jan 07 01:42:25 * alterego attempts to come up with a backup strategy for his tablet. Jan 07 01:42:37 So far involving mount, tar and ssh. Jan 07 01:45:00 rsync no good? Jan 07 01:45:51 dd :-) Jan 07 01:45:59 dd fails. Jan 07 01:46:12 wow. speaking of backups... Jan 07 01:46:13 http://www.archive.org/details/mt015 Jan 07 01:46:33 ive never seen a rate that high Jan 07 01:46:47 (other than proof of concept, demos, etc) Jan 07 01:49:48 Well, my N810 should arrive in a couple of days :) Jan 07 01:50:56 I've got three projects to do for work. Which should be laid to rest by the end of the week. Then I'm going to spend the rest of the month on Ruby-Maemo. Jan 07 01:51:29 I've hardly done anything on it for a month now and it's making me feel kind of guilty. Jan 07 01:56:15 hi - a quick straw poll: what's the next most viable language for maemo development after C/C++? Jan 07 01:56:29 Ruby Jan 07 01:57:22 i've noticed many apps are done in python Jan 07 01:57:35 * lcuk seems to like python Jan 07 01:57:59 Ruby is better Jan 07 01:58:00 brainfuck Jan 07 01:58:03 j/k Jan 07 01:58:18 python seems to be pretty popular Jan 07 01:59:21 alterego: Then why do you need to spend the rest of the month working on it? :P Jan 07 01:59:34 ouch Jan 07 01:59:40 Good question. Jan 07 01:59:46 There are three libraries I need to bind. Jan 07 01:59:59 I'm also working on a port of gems, which is kind of like cpan but for ruby Jan 07 02:00:13 I need to optimize it quite a lot. Jan 07 02:00:45 I also need to move my build process to scrachbox 2. Jan 07 02:01:09 Aswell as start work on Ruby 1.9 ready for the next major release. Which is pretty imminent. Jan 07 02:02:11 alterego: consider yourself vindicated ;-) Jan 07 02:03:01 Boy this handwriting recognition is annoying me! Jan 07 02:03:12 So slow Jan 07 02:04:04 I'd also like to work on a rewrite of the website. Jan 07 02:04:11 i like how the middle button brings up thumb keyboard in 2008 Jan 07 02:04:28 Do some more complete documentation, write a comprehensive and stable set of unit tests. Jan 07 02:04:30 it always did Jan 07 02:05:21 What started out being a project to allow me to comfortable hack apps for my tablet turned into my first proper OSS project. Jan 07 02:05:26 ahh, only notived because finger presses won't register since i upgraded Jan 07 02:05:31 I've not even got around to writing any real maemo apps yet :( Jan 07 02:05:44 packetlossmm, that's new :-) Jan 07 02:06:00 Ruby & Python are languages i've been meaning to learn for a while, so i might have to give them both a try Jan 07 02:06:47 blahdeblahN800, do it. That's how I got into Ruby. I was using Python for about 8 months. Then I started learning Ruby and within a couple of weeks I jumped ship ^_^ Jan 07 02:06:59 But whatever, it's up to you which you prefer. Jan 07 02:07:45 Anyhow, I think it's about bed time now. Jan 07 02:07:57 alterego: interesting - everyone i talk to seems to th. Jan 07 02:08:09 aaaaargl Jan 07 02:08:12 Heh Jan 07 02:08:39 ... think Python.is da bomb Jan 07 02:08:55 Python is certainly more popular. But it's been around a long time. Jan 07 02:09:18 Ruby is relatively new, and people are constantly jumping ship from python to ruby when they can. Jan 07 02:09:26 I went back to python also.. Jan 07 02:09:33 mostly because I prefer how it handles modules Jan 07 02:09:41 wasnt ruby created in early 90's , just not well known Jan 07 02:09:41 and the vast APIs/third-party modules Jan 07 02:09:53 I found Ruby to be more free'ing, Python somehow seems more rigid. Though the two languages share a lot. Ruby is certainly more object oriented though. Jan 07 02:09:59 what made you jump ship? Jan 07 02:10:06 ARexx is better than either of them. ;) Jan 07 02:10:32 * lcuk remembers arexx fondly Jan 07 02:11:05 Ruby has a little more lisp and smalltalk rolled in than Python does. Jan 07 02:11:26 Oh and did I mention Ruby is like Web 2.0? Jan 07 02:11:36 * alterego throws in a buzz word for good measure. Jan 07 02:11:37 the biggest difference with python from other languages is the formatting Jan 07 02:11:54 but thats also its strength Jan 07 02:11:56 Yes, the indentation as syntax is a little strange to some. Jan 07 02:12:04 ...hopefully minus all the (((()))) Jan 07 02:12:08 I don't think it's a strength at all. Jan 07 02:12:19 I think it's just a design decision. Jan 07 02:12:29 i agree Jan 07 02:12:34 The indentation rules in Python make crap all difference in my opinion. Jan 07 02:12:46 to me its logical Jan 07 02:12:53 * blahdeblahN800 gives up and switches to his bluetooth keyboard Jan 07 02:12:57 It's logical because it's a programming language :P Jan 07 02:13:25 lol Jan 07 02:13:29 there is that Jan 07 02:14:23 It's more of a short cut in someways. Which yes, is a good thing I suppose. Jan 07 02:14:27 But not everyone likes it. Jan 07 02:15:04 The indentation rule I found quite appealing actually though, when I was using python. Jan 07 02:15:14 any news on canola for the 770? Jan 07 02:15:17 i doubt the nokia designers write in it tho - the 810 doesn't have a tab key Jan 07 02:15:21 Personally, the indenting thing has been the thing that has made me hold off learning Python - y'know, the whole COBOL memories thing... Jan 07 02:15:25 Heh Jan 07 02:15:37 lcuk, they only need one space :P Jan 07 02:15:52 but then it wont look right Jan 07 02:15:56 Never touched COBOL me. Jan 07 02:16:06 Oh, it's about "looks" now :P Jan 07 02:16:11 Poser :P Jan 07 02:16:21 unless i can make a space char a big fatty Jan 07 02:16:25 "I code Python because it looks cool" ^_^ Jan 07 02:16:32 lcuk: actually I think it looks better with 1-2 spaces then tabbed as you qickly start needing to scroll with normal tabs Jan 07 02:16:33 Sure, increase the font size :D Jan 07 02:16:41 My tabs are 2 spaces. Jan 07 02:16:57 i come from a place where 4 spaces is also the default tab Jan 07 02:17:06 I believe matz (ruby god) uses 4 space tabs though Jan 07 02:17:06 so for the last 7 years i have been using 4 Jan 07 02:17:12 My eyes aren't good enough to use indents that small... ;-) Jan 07 02:17:18 4 for me! Jan 07 02:17:36 (Although i mostly code Java) Jan 07 02:17:39 I think anyone that uses 4 space tabs is over compensating for something else :P Jan 07 02:17:56 * lcuk drives a small car Jan 07 02:17:59 thefool, must have the largest appendage here if he's prepared to use a single space .. Jan 07 02:18:12 :-) Jan 07 02:18:28 Anyhow, it's 2:20am here. I've got to get sleep, early mornin' and all. Good night folks. Jan 07 02:18:32 My tab is smaller than your tab? Kind of reverse logic... Jan 07 02:18:49 night alterego - thanks for the tips Jan 07 02:18:51 i suppose i would have picked up any language as long as it cross compiled and was testable onj this windows box Jan 07 02:18:57 python came along and had what i needed Jan 07 02:19:04 nite alter Jan 07 02:19:38 ive also got work in the morning Jan 07 02:19:43 i havent been in since b4 xmas Jan 07 02:19:48 * rm_you uses 3 space tabs Jan 07 02:20:05 lol @ rm being odd Jan 07 02:20:12 * rm_you is an oddball Jan 07 02:20:17 I learned python because it I needed something high level that I could take all sorts of proprietary DB and XMLish formats and store them into an SQL DB for a job I was doing. I was able to learn enough python to do that in a few hours Jan 07 02:20:23 i also <3 python Jan 07 02:20:35 it's a good introductory language, IMO Jan 07 02:20:37 thefool: interesting Jan 07 02:20:40 It really is a beautiful language Jan 07 02:20:48 when i try to introduce people to programming, i do it with python Jan 07 02:20:56 unless rm reformats it to look cack :P Jan 07 02:21:04 less annoying symbols to deal with, and the syntax is very english-like Jan 07 02:21:11 and then you have to tell them that "real": programming is not that fun... Jan 07 02:21:31 and the "forced indentation" side effect is nice Jan 07 02:21:34 i dont introduce ppl to code - its like trying to teach someone ninja skills Jan 07 02:21:37 because it leads to good coding style later :P Jan 07 02:21:42 heh Jan 07 02:21:54 im stuck with vb and asp.net at work. Jan 07 02:22:05 besides, you never know if they will become a grandmaster and take your job away Jan 07 02:22:08 lol Jan 07 02:22:15 im doin "classic" vb Jan 07 02:22:30 * lcuk has got 15 years of code to manage Jan 07 02:23:14 * lcuk still works with a core library written originally in that crappy dos basic :S Jan 07 02:23:28 I am pretty sure I did not know what code was 15 years ago Jan 07 02:23:39 i knew but it wasnt my problem back then Jan 07 02:23:52 lcuk: Stop it! You're hurting me! Mum, make him stop!!! Jan 07 02:23:54 i took over it all (its 99.9% vb classic now) in 2000 Jan 07 02:23:58 i was hired for an it operations job and find myself working on a cms lol Jan 07 02:24:16 i do VB6 for my job >_< Jan 07 02:24:19 i hate it so much Jan 07 02:24:29 nothing at all wrong with vb in the right hands (mine :D ) Jan 07 02:24:35 100% maintenance and feature additions <_< Jan 07 02:24:53 lcuk: so sad... I have an old Cish compiler from before the ANSI days it fits on a few 5 1/4's and ran in DOS, didn't think it got older than that. Guess I was wrong lol Jan 07 02:24:54 i know its wrong in mine lol Jan 07 02:25:25 Mum, now rm_you's doing it too! Whine! ;-( Jan 07 02:25:46 fool - i was writing in c on the amiga in the 90s, the first things i got on a pc was the source to the original c compiler Jan 07 02:25:55 i played with that for a while Jan 07 02:26:46 then i started college and slid around doin c++ and pascal until i found vb Jan 07 02:27:00 I still have my first computer, an old 486...hearing of an amiga scares me. Jan 07 02:27:24 i think its usually that vb finds you Jan 07 02:27:30 i wont tell you about the hand written assembler (entered in hex) on the spectrum Jan 07 02:27:36 lcuk: uck you went from C to C++ to VB? And you liked it?!? Jan 07 02:27:41 yes Jan 07 02:28:34 front end worked - the language was easy - once i split everything up (classes/interface) its no less of a language than anything else Jan 07 02:28:49 I could never do any serious work in VB...maybe an interface.... but you have NO real control Jan 07 02:29:00 why not? i can do anything in vb Jan 07 02:29:18 VB seems like it's designed to be a prototyping language Jan 07 02:29:31 which is great for menu systems and all... Jan 07 02:29:39 but it doesn't have very much real power behind it Jan 07 02:29:41 actually menus are the hardest things.. Jan 07 02:29:48 in MDIs anyway with merging Jan 07 02:30:09 the program i work on is 100% menu Jan 07 02:30:20 it's basically a multi-program launcher Jan 07 02:30:32 then write it in any language, and build menus at runtime from the interface to your class Jan 07 02:30:49 you just need html ;) Jan 07 02:30:53 probably Jan 07 02:31:17 i am sometimes tempted to rewrite the system in something like Java >_> Jan 07 02:31:22 it would definately make my job easier Jan 07 02:31:29 but i don't think i'd get paid to do that Jan 07 02:32:13 eventually my boss is gonna get me to rebuild our breadwinner in .shit Jan 07 02:34:18 lol Jan 07 02:38:07 i think i best go bed Jan 07 02:38:22 all this talk of vb has given me the shakes Jan 07 02:38:31 * lcuk will dream of a better life with python **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jan 07 02:59:57 2008
