**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 25 02:59:56 2010 Apr 25 03:00:24 still having problems pushing stageassistant from appassistant Apr 25 03:02:03 oh, my bad, i'm dumb lol Apr 25 03:04:05 Chriswebos: abandon hope.... I did. :P Apr 25 03:04:11 Chriswebos: what problems? Apr 25 03:04:20 it does work Apr 25 03:04:39 well, my stageassistant does some processing, sets up a global variable, then determines which scene to push Apr 25 03:04:59 However, I want it called from the appassistant, since i want a multi-stage Apr 25 03:05:38 as a single stage, of course my stageassistant works properly (since it's called and setup) Apr 25 03:05:57 however, app-assistant doesn't seem to be creating what I put in StageAssistant Apr 25 03:05:59 you CAN do that. post link to createStageWithCallback docs Apr 25 03:06:37 haeffb_pre: yes... but that doesn't seem to work properly Apr 25 03:06:44 including assistantName as a param Apr 25 03:06:44 (wtf would Palm make a dev site that can't be viewed from phone) Apr 25 03:07:00 it does. i've done it Apr 25 03:07:09 I keep getting an error stating that I can't read warn property of undefined...there's no reference to warn anywhere in my project Apr 25 03:07:20 'StageAssistant' Apr 25 03:07:45 or whatever your assistant os called Apr 25 03:08:20 don't really know how to name it Apr 25 03:08:22 post link? Apr 25 03:08:31 what site allows that? Apr 25 03:08:42 to docs? Apr 25 03:09:00 i thought you were asking me to post a link to my code... Apr 25 03:09:22 no docs for create... Apr 25 03:09:29 i'm assuming you're referring to the palm docs? Apr 25 03:10:13 yes Apr 25 03:10:47 or you can wait 25 mins until I get home Apr 25 03:10:54 I've read over those... don't really get the idea of how to use it tho Apr 25 03:11:07 i'll be up Apr 25 03:19:45 got my notification system up and running.... thanks everyone for the help Apr 25 03:20:08 coolness...at i'm glad you got it Apr 25 03:40:48 Chriswebos: ping Apr 25 03:41:04 still here Apr 25 03:41:59 createStageWithCallback({name: 'myStage', assistantName: 'MyStageAssistant'}, ...); Apr 25 03:42:25 depending on how your stage & assistant are named Apr 25 03:42:47 still unsure of what you mean by name... Apr 25 03:43:11 Chriswebos: at the top of the assistant what does it say? function _______() Apr 25 03:43:11 i have a file called stage-assistant Apr 25 03:43:24 StageAssistant Apr 25 03:43:41 that _should_ be it Apr 25 03:43:56 {name: 'stage', assistantName: 'StageAssistant', lightweight: true} Apr 25 03:44:17 wait a minute!!! Apr 25 03:44:46 hi all Apr 25 03:44:53 it CAN'T be that easy Apr 25 03:45:01 uh. yes it can. Apr 25 03:45:11 Chriswebos: just don't tell anyone please Apr 25 03:45:35 so long as your stage-assistant.js is in sources.json Apr 25 03:45:45 hi JenP Apr 25 03:46:17 OMG!!! Apr 25 03:46:28 did it work? Apr 25 03:46:29 lol Apr 25 03:46:40 hi haeffb! Apr 25 03:46:41 zsoc: right. Apr 25 03:46:43 like a charm!!! Apr 25 03:47:00 wait, let me uninstall...that's the logic my stageassistant does Apr 25 03:47:18 what up, JenP? Apr 25 03:47:58 Chriswebos: in sources.json, what comes up first, stage-assistant.js, or app-assistant.js? Apr 25 03:48:17 haeffb, if you weren't a computer I'd kiss you Apr 25 03:48:42 hey haeffb. Just trying to work on a timer function for the wallpaper app...Josh wants it to change daily Apr 25 03:48:45 stage-assistant Apr 25 03:48:58 um....? Apr 25 03:49:51 * haeffb spins his floppy disks... Apr 25 03:50:19 er, wait. what? Apr 25 03:50:50 huh? wait who? Apr 25 03:51:51 man... the whole "in" has to be at least 5 mins for alarms sucks Apr 25 03:52:13 Tibfib: yeah I know I'm working on the same thing Apr 25 03:52:18 tibfib...makes it suck for testing Apr 25 03:52:27 oh yeahhhhhh Apr 25 03:52:28 use at: Apr 25 03:52:28 gotta wait 5 minutes for each test Apr 25 03:52:31 waiting now Apr 25 03:52:39 hold on. Apr 25 03:52:44 haeffb? use at on? Apr 25 03:54:21 http://www.pastie.org/933676 Apr 25 03:54:29 instead of in: use at: Apr 25 03:54:43 and use something like that to make the string to tell it at when Apr 25 03:55:22 where this.miles.reminderTime is the number of minutes you'd like to wait. Apr 25 03:55:27 like, maybe 0.25 Apr 25 03:56:50 aw, shoot. Apr 25 03:58:31 why didn't they use the output from formatDate instead of that form? Apr 25 03:59:56 *crickets* Apr 25 04:00:05 haeffb: you up for awhile? Apr 25 04:03:40 not a lot longer, but will be around for a few. Apr 25 04:03:44 thanks for the help guys...hitting sack Apr 25 04:04:03 kk Apr 25 04:07:57 Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is Apr 25 04:17:48 Roy-Pre101: good day? Apr 25 04:18:15 night all Apr 25 04:19:42 haeffb: Rockin' Apr 25 04:20:16 Roy-Pre101: do you know if Rick was able to snag anything for me? Apr 25 04:20:25 rwhitby: I do not know. Apr 25 04:21:12 Rick should be on shortly. Apr 25 04:22:10 should I buy Palm stock? Or throw my Pre in the trash? Apr 25 04:22:21 i've bought stock Apr 25 04:22:30 also in sprint Apr 25 04:23:07 haeffb: send your Pre to me Apr 25 04:23:43 i've purchased stock as well Apr 25 04:24:01 * rwhitby already has a broken Pre on the way ready for surgery practice, but it's been in water, so I need a second and third one to salvage a good qwerty keyboard or two Apr 25 04:24:52 rwhitby: yeesh. Apr 25 04:25:22 Roy-Pre101: I'm also considering buying a bad esn Pre Plus and Pixi Plus Apr 25 04:25:41 What exactly is a 'bad esn' Pre? Apr 25 04:26:08 one that the carrier will no longer allow on the network Apr 25 04:26:11 one that cannot be used on a carrier Apr 25 04:26:52 Would that be one reported lost/stolen or something? Apr 25 04:28:19 JenP: is this valid -- "id": Mojo.appName, Apr 25 04:28:50 it's working....don't know if it's valid....i've been replacing those as i find them Apr 25 04:30:12 I would have thought more like Mojo.appInfo.id Apr 25 04:30:31 that definetly makes more sense Apr 25 04:30:38 but I don't know what Mojo.appName is. Apr 25 04:31:27 maybe it's good too Apr 25 04:31:40 I think i set it up as a global Apr 25 04:32:01 Roy-Pre101: dunno, but I check the ESN with a colleague who has contacts at sprint/verizon to make sure it's legit before buying Apr 25 04:32:24 Good plan Apr 25 04:39:18 evening Apr 25 04:39:26 evening Apr 25 04:39:29 hi swisstomcat Apr 25 04:39:45 hi jenp Apr 25 04:40:23 how ya doing? Apr 25 04:40:43 swisstomcat: Hey, back to the hotel Marcus? Apr 25 04:41:02 yeah, lemketron dropped me off .. you? Apr 25 04:42:05 swisstomcat: yo Apr 25 04:42:16 hey haeffb Apr 25 04:42:37 swisstomcat: Yep, back in the hotel Apr 25 04:43:07 i'm tired :) Apr 25 04:43:35 but i'm up for sightseeing tomorrow Apr 25 04:44:28 they talked a bit about the webos-future Apr 25 04:45:01 do we need to wear shades? Apr 25 04:45:50 swisstomcat: Which they? Apr 25 04:46:17 oops, wrong button Apr 25 04:46:21 what did you say, roy-pre101? Apr 25 04:46:59 swisstomcat: Which they? Apr 25 04:47:23 I picked up a crapload of followers on twitter. Apr 25 04:47:34 I feel good about that. Apr 25 04:47:40 well, you did a lot of tweets about the conference Apr 25 04:47:50 ben,dioa and ron Apr 25 04:47:53 dion Apr 25 04:48:10 True. Apr 25 04:48:19 What a great time. Apr 25 04:48:26 i had a hard time even following everyting Apr 25 04:48:54 palm video interviewed me about how developing for webos is and i showed off my app moo Apr 25 04:49:19 swisstomcat: that's great Apr 25 04:49:41 apparently it's going to be used for promotional material about the developer program Apr 25 04:49:53 too cool! Apr 25 04:50:01 roy-pre101 interviewed a lot of people too Apr 25 05:04:52 what's the timing tomorrow, roy-pre101? Apr 25 05:05:10 Not sure. Ws planning to sleep 'til I wake. Apr 25 05:05:23 Maybe around 7:30-8:00 Apr 25 05:05:32 Walk down to train and then ride up to SF. Apr 25 05:15:13 sounds good Apr 25 05:15:26 i can set my alarm to 7 or so and see Apr 25 05:15:38 rick said he'll decide tomorrow if he would come or not Apr 25 05:27:16 everyone still drunk from tied house? Apr 25 05:27:31 * halfhalo_T400 no drink Apr 25 05:27:38 was fun though Apr 25 05:27:43 cool Apr 25 05:28:40 lol @ lemketron-away's title on his card "Senior Bit Pusher" Apr 25 05:29:08 he's got a bunch of wacky titles on business cards on his cube wall Apr 25 05:29:22 ah Apr 25 05:29:55 god. mhs preforms much better than I thought it would Apr 25 05:30:04 mhs? Apr 25 05:30:12 besides the oh god oh god were all going to die overheating messages Apr 25 05:30:16 mobile hotspot Apr 25 05:30:19 ah Apr 25 05:30:27 yeah, works well. I used it in dc last weekend Apr 25 05:30:34 got 300KB/s last night Apr 25 05:31:02 i only got one beer Apr 25 05:31:16 and who's fault was that? Apr 25 05:31:27 i had enough after one :) Apr 25 05:31:31 and i drink slow Apr 25 05:32:13 I was hoping to get away and come down for a drink but could not :( Apr 25 05:32:16 it says "senior bit twiddler" on the card i got Apr 25 05:32:38 heh Apr 25 05:33:25 some questions have popped up regarding js-services .. are you the right person to ask? Apr 25 05:33:53 * halfhalo_T400 is looking forward to js services Apr 25 05:34:16 we get to make our own business cards, with little to no oversight, so I think steve likes to mess around Apr 25 05:34:26 what's the q around services? Apr 25 05:35:26 how would a js-service run /usr/bin/ipkg as root? Apr 25 05:35:38 how do you deliver a service Apr 25 05:35:44 how do you stop/start a service Apr 25 05:36:00 I believe js services will not run as root Apr 25 05:36:11 deliver - will be in an ipk just like everything else Apr 25 05:36:22 start/stop - there will be UI for that, nto sure what else I can say there Apr 25 05:37:58 or start/stop them through the service bus like today? Apr 25 05:38:23 3rd party services will have a GUI that can be used to start/stop/uninstall things Apr 25 05:39:33 only palm's own js-services will have super-cow powers? Apr 25 05:39:47 i mean someone needs to be able to run ipkg as root, no? Apr 25 05:41:14 you know what would be cool? letting devs make plugins for universal search/im/etc Apr 25 05:42:41 * halfhalo_T400 demands his demands be met Apr 25 05:43:29 RAWR Apr 25 05:43:52 halfhalo_T400: that would be cool. I agree. Stay tuned. Apr 25 05:44:20 swisstomcat: you mean run ipkg to unpack things, or what? Apr 25 05:44:40 another question i forgot to ask: is it possible for us a developers to write synergy-plugins/or whatever they are Apr 25 05:44:55 mattsmcnulty: run ipkg to install an app Apr 25 05:45:33 not sure what was announced today, so I am going to not answer that Apr 25 05:45:50 ipkg to install an app will be handled by the palm system, not a service, afaik Apr 25 05:47:12 i see Apr 25 05:47:27 mattsmcnulty: thx for the clarifications, so they are full non-root sandboxed background services written in javascript, using whatever underlying APIs palm exposes to them for use, and nothing more. Should cover 99% of the cases needed. Apr 25 05:47:39 ues Apr 25 05:47:42 yues Apr 25 05:47:43 yes Apr 25 05:47:43 great job with ares and the new debugger/log viewer by the way .. can't wait to try it out Apr 25 05:47:45 yeah, it will work in my case Apr 25 05:47:45 doh Apr 25 05:47:47 thanks Apr 25 05:48:12 is ares capable of being offline/standalone now ? Apr 25 05:48:18 nope Apr 25 05:48:31 would be cool if it was Apr 25 05:48:31 honestly, surprisingly we dont get a ton of requests for that Apr 25 05:48:37 very interesting Apr 25 05:48:52 it's super easy to install locally on mac/linux, but it just isn't something we want to support Apr 25 05:48:59 but there is no technicaly reason that it could not made it Apr 25 05:49:01 mattsmcnulty: can you say whether the existing lnsatool and /var/palm/system-services has anything to do with the new javascript services support, or is that just legacy dbus/java services, but on /var instead of the / partition ? Apr 25 05:49:15 well, I would like to use it on my laptop which has a very bad connection sometimes Apr 25 05:49:31 I'd like to be able to develop webOS apps in the outback ;-) Apr 25 05:49:41 rwhitby - not sure of the question Apr 25 05:49:54 wifi at my school basically only allows one connection per ip at a time or some retarded amount like that Apr 25 05:50:31 i see, it can be installed locally but that won't be supported .. will it be documented how to do it at some point? Apr 25 05:50:34 if you are curious, diving into how we did "centaur" - aka emulator host mode in 1.4.1 sdk Apr 25 05:50:42 mattsmcnulty: no worries, I'm expecting it's just for the upcoming flash binary (assuming it requires a dbus service or browser plugin), cause app cat installs won't r/w the root partition. Apr 25 05:50:53 oh, the db8 stuff was announced today ... i didn't find much information about that, but i was curious Apr 25 05:51:05 yeah, that sounded interesting Apr 25 05:51:05 replacing depot Apr 25 05:51:23 db8 is cool Apr 25 05:51:29 fast. Apr 25 05:51:33 db8 datastore: native json,access controls,fast,pluggable back-end,open source Apr 25 05:51:36 is it not sqlite in the background ? Apr 25 05:51:39 swisstomcat: was there any word at #palmdev about linux PDK ? Apr 25 05:51:51 there is a db in there behind it all Apr 25 05:52:02 * halfhalo_T400 didn't go to the pdk events Apr 25 05:52:02 rwhitby: no, but there will be a new beta in the coming weeks Apr 25 05:52:05 but it's jsut an easier interface than what is currently available ? Apr 25 05:52:41 bpadalino: it's json-based, closer to couchdb or amazon's simpledb than a sql-based system Apr 25 05:53:07 rwhitby: pdk is aimed currently mostly at game devs, and linux isn't a common dev platform for them Apr 25 05:53:10 hell, i would prefer that over sqlite or depot Apr 25 05:53:11 very interesting .. it will all be opened up by the palm folks? Apr 25 05:53:16 i am guessing on github ? Apr 25 05:53:17 mattsmcnulty: understood Apr 25 05:53:29 bpadalino: it is an open source project, I believe Apr 25 05:53:40 they said it's open source Apr 25 05:53:49 mattsmcnulty: what would be good is if we could get permission to redistribute the include files and libraries from the PDK, in a form useable in Linux. Apr 25 05:54:11 there's documentation on the palm developer forums how to make your own linux pdk Apr 25 05:54:17 mattsmcnulty: sorry, include files from the PDK, and corresponding libraries from the webOS doctor or device. Apr 25 05:54:37 swisstomcat: by extracting from Mac PDK ? Apr 25 05:54:50 by extracting from the windows pdk with wine Apr 25 05:54:59 right, the other way :) Apr 25 05:55:18 mattsmcnulty: pdk is not only used for games, especially for mojo integration stuff Apr 25 05:55:39 aimed *currently* *mostly* at game devs Apr 25 05:56:17 swisstomcat: same generalisation applies to mojo devs too Apr 25 05:56:17 and game devs are crazy - they all like windows, for instance Apr 25 05:56:27 * halfhalo_T400 uses windows Apr 25 05:56:40 yeah, how's your zune? Apr 25 05:56:40 http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=6441 Apr 25 05:56:43 but thats because I like mah switchable graphics Apr 25 05:56:47 Working Port of Windows PDK to Ubuntu Linux Apr 25 05:56:55 heh, watching CSI Miami on it right now Apr 25 05:57:15 gotta say, Love the UI but multitasking would NOT be fun on it Apr 25 05:58:21 I hate the look of the UI, personally Apr 25 05:58:46 but I'm particular that way. I did all of ares myself and got all annoyed when the HI guys would try and suggest things ;-) Apr 25 05:58:55 heh Apr 25 05:59:15 its just.... different from every other design choice Apr 25 05:59:28 and I like difference Apr 25 05:59:47 I also love the OLED screen Apr 25 05:59:53 except in sunlight Apr 25 06:00:06 wrote up the ares log viewer and debugger in case anyone needs instructions Apr 25 06:00:07 http://forums.precentral.net/showthread.php?p=2402995#post2402995 Apr 25 06:00:08 i think the cool thing about the pdk is the mojo/pdk integration .. but how that is going to change with the announced js-service is another question ... e.g bluetooth,low-level network, file-io Apr 25 06:00:12 yeah Apr 25 06:00:29 * rwhitby bbl Apr 25 06:01:04 e.g if i can do low-level network with a js-service then i might not have to use the PDK Apr 25 06:01:39 doing interesting number crunching in the pdk may be good .. Apr 25 06:01:40 yeah, the goal is to have the same set of low level apis available everywhere Apr 25 06:01:41 but what if you want to write your own audio-engine and use it in your mojo app Apr 25 06:01:49 more immersive graphics may be good with the pdk Apr 25 06:02:27 it would be nice to be able to do the zebra crossing stuff with the camera in mojo easily Apr 25 06:02:50 mattsmcnulty you know what would be a good demo of js services you guys could write? and irc service Apr 25 06:02:53 an* Apr 25 06:03:20 psh, who wants demos? next you'll be asking for documentation too! Apr 25 06:03:32 hehe Apr 25 06:03:55 i heard that the documentation is being worked on Apr 25 06:04:02 yeah Apr 25 06:04:03 yeah, it is, actually Apr 25 06:04:12 i talked to fred i think Apr 25 06:04:14 mattsmcnulty: is the atmosphere there still very conducive to good development? or are the rumors on the internets sucking some life out of it all ? Apr 25 06:04:31 rumors are rumors and there is nothing anyone can do about any of em Apr 25 06:04:44 since I pushed out 3 products this week, I could care less Apr 25 06:04:49 they way i heard it that those rumors are just rumors Apr 25 06:05:04 yeah Apr 25 06:05:06 thanks for the clarification :) Apr 25 06:05:22 what 3 products? the ares trio? Apr 25 06:05:26 the death of palm has been predicted about 100 times in the last 15 years Apr 25 06:05:27 yeah Apr 25 06:05:32 good to know my big grain of salt is still useful for those rumors Apr 25 06:05:45 and announced mojo js services, which I guess technically is on my team as well Apr 25 06:05:45 * halfhalo_T400 would buy mattsmcnulty a beer if he could Apr 25 06:06:12 i can bring you some swiss chocolate on monday, mattsmcnulty Apr 25 06:06:13 rwhitby: triton is installed with 1.4.1, if you want to look at it. Apr 25 06:06:29 yup. emulator host mode is built on it, too Apr 25 06:06:48 yeah, but its a early build right? Apr 25 06:06:48 halfhalo_T400: after today, I need more than a beer Apr 25 06:06:50 triton's been there for a while i thought Apr 25 06:06:51 yes Apr 25 06:06:54 Facebook uses it for image uploads. Apr 25 06:07:13 emulator host mode is cool .. you can use for example chrome dev tools to pick apart your app Apr 25 06:07:30 i gotta say, it kinda sucks you had to write your own facebook application instead of fb being excited about writing it themselves Apr 25 06:07:32 mattsmcnulty: Sorry we missed you. Apr 25 06:07:44 yeah - it is somewhat brittle. if you find use cases or apps that break things, let us know please Apr 25 06:08:03 facebook tends not to develop the apps for mobile themselves, regardless of platform Apr 25 06:08:21 they did the iphone and android apps, didn't they ?

Apr 25 12:58:56 just sitting down for some Sunday morning coding. Apr 25 12:59:04 alright Apr 25 12:59:05 trying to decide what towork on. Apr 25 12:59:17 I'm about to resume work as wel Apr 25 12:59:18 l Apr 25 13:05:28 yeah the sunday work Apr 25 13:07:00 * haeffb codes Sat/Sun Apr 25 13:07:26 what is the port for WinSCP to connect to Pre? Apr 25 13:08:53 never mind. Apr 25 14:59:29 p=filename and location: this.controller.serviceRequest('palm://com.palm.applicationManager', {method: 'play',parameters: {id: "com.palm.app.musicplayer",params: p}}); Apr 25 14:59:32 does that look right? Apr 25 15:02:06 morning Apr 25 15:02:45 hey there ! Apr 25 15:02:55 hi there Apr 25 15:19:31 morning roy-pre101 Apr 25 15:20:26 swisstomcat: morning. How goes? Apr 25 15:20:34 pretty good Apr 25 15:20:45 hello devdayspeople Apr 25 15:20:52 I stayed up way too late! I'm not sure what is wrong with me. :P Apr 25 15:21:06 what did you do that long? Apr 25 15:21:38 are you going to leave soon? i'm thinking about staying in until noon to catch some breath and digest all the information Apr 25 15:21:42 hey haeffb Apr 25 15:22:43 swisstomcat: I don't know yet. Apr 25 15:23:50 awesome, ok got it Apr 25 15:23:51 Hi devsdayafter people :) Apr 25 15:25:31 For some stupid reason I stayed up and watched a ton of videos from collegehumor.com Apr 25 15:25:39 (and it was mostly stupid) Apr 25 15:25:43 hehe Apr 25 15:25:50 g'day rwhitby Apr 25 15:26:07 i'm writing a forum post sharing what i learned in german Apr 25 15:41:34 versus what you learned in English? Apr 25 15:41:50 * haeffb adding display of day of week to my date picker dialog. Apr 25 15:43:11 because adding a calendar grid just plain won't work on Pixi. Apr 25 15:43:37 I think this is what dragged me in to college humor: http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1804212 Apr 25 15:44:48 haeffb: i agree, that was bad english :) Apr 25 15:46:02 the main complaint of users of date picker is that they can't tell which day next week is, for instance, thurs. Apr 25 15:46:42 so, adding display of day of week should fix the problem, right? Apr 25 15:47:17 yeah Apr 25 15:47:45 this one was kinda funny: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1895871 Apr 25 15:47:51 i thought about adding that to the datepicker widget a long time ago Apr 25 15:49:09 what do you think... http://img683.imageshack.us/i/capturegw.png/ Apr 25 15:49:25 Roy-Pre101: you're cutting deeply into my productivity. Apr 25 15:49:57 :D It's called balancing the karmic scale. Trying to shed my own stupidity buy sharing. Apr 25 15:50:03 *by Apr 25 15:50:37 haeffb: i thought more about adding a day field on the left of the date picker and update that when the the date picker value changes Apr 25 15:50:54 never came around to do that but it would be very helpful Apr 25 15:51:22 haeffb: I like that a lot Apr 25 15:52:03 does it update when you change the date? Apr 25 15:52:15 i'm hungry ... breakfast? Apr 25 15:53:40 McGriddles? Apr 25 16:01:35 i'm heading out for breakfast ... bbiab Apr 25 16:04:23 swisstomcat: yes Apr 25 16:04:32 swisstomcat: need 5 min Apr 25 16:11:11 yes it updates when you change the date... Apr 25 16:15:51 this.dateButtonModel.label= $L("Use ") + Apr 25 16:15:51 Mojo.Format.formatDate(this.goToDatePickerModel.date, {date: 'full'}); Apr 25 16:15:51 this.sceneAssistant.controller.modelChanged(this.dateButtonModel); Apr 25 16:17:44 oops. November makes it truncate. Apr 25 16:23:05 var day = Mojo.Format.formatDate(this.goToDatePickerModel.date, {date: 'full'}).split(" ")[0]; Apr 25 16:23:05 Mojo.Log.info("Day:", day); Apr 25 16:23:05 this.dateButtonModel.label= $L("Use ") + day + " " + Apr 25 16:23:05 Mojo.Format.formatDate(this.goToDatePickerModel.date, {date: 'medium'}); Apr 25 16:27:24 "Use Wednesday, Apr 28, 2010" Apr 25 17:03:01 oh, there's rick .. didn't i just see you at mcdonalds? :) Apr 25 17:03:19 why yes, yes you did. Apr 25 17:04:33 http://www.toodledo.com/views/public.php?id=td4bb9dbb782581;f=4577769 Apr 25 17:14:04 i'm heading out to san francisco .. bbl Apr 25 17:18:57 hmm.. Apr 25 17:19:10 is text-shadow supposed to be supported in webos ? Apr 25 17:19:22 the inspector shows me the style but it doesn't seem to be applied Apr 25 17:21:54 I don't think text-shadow is in this version. We were told yesterday that SUBSTANTIALLY more css will be coming in a version "soon" Apr 25 17:22:34 http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4415&start=0 Apr 25 17:22:38 seems like it isn't Apr 25 17:22:52 I'll build a list of supported features since it doesn't seem there's one.. Apr 25 17:22:58 hope it will be added soon Apr 25 17:23:18 what other things did they announce ? Apr 25 17:23:30 anything regarding luna hardware acceleration ? Apr 25 17:23:40 yes. "By fall" Apr 25 17:24:24 * millenomi is excited re: mDNS/ZeroConf Apr 25 17:24:30 anyone told 'em I was coming? Apr 25 17:25:01 great ! Apr 25 17:25:11 Rick is excited about javascript services, nodeJS and commonJS. Apr 25 17:25:13 swisstomcat: You about ready? Apr 25 17:25:19 ok, I'll have to use images then.. sigh.. Apr 25 17:25:28 is there a summary better than precentral's? Apr 25 17:25:36 they're a tad aspecific. Apr 25 17:25:44 no, but the video and the slides will be up next week. Apr 25 17:25:49 oh ok Apr 25 17:25:50 :) Apr 25 17:26:08 Shutting down to go. Apr 25 17:26:13 and about future plans, expect non-specific, the palm guys had to fight for every leak they gave us, and they could _not_ be too specific Apr 25 17:27:09 Rick_work: do you know anything about javascript services? I'm still trying to wrap my brain around their direction there Apr 25 17:27:44 js services --> your code sitting in the background, responding to invocations via the json bus? Apr 25 17:27:54 Tell you what destinal, go read up on nodeJS and a lightbulb should go on. Apr 25 17:28:10 millenomi exactly like the c-services we have now, yes. Apr 25 17:28:15 nifty Apr 25 17:29:08 Rick_work: lol, it seemed like somethings slipped out that they werent ready to talk about. Apr 25 17:29:14 Rick_work: aha Apr 25 17:29:59 Rick_work: but I thought they were trying to improve performance when they switched away from Java.. hmm... Apr 25 17:32:21 this makes it seem like a move maybe to simplify the code and make it more accessible to developers Apr 25 17:32:46 it's not JUST improving services, but the point is that v8 is a GOOD optimizing compiler. And they can sand-box the javascript services easier than they can sandbox C services. Apr 25 17:35:28 yeah, if you wanted to make 3rd party service support officially part of the SDK or PDK, this would seem to be a huge step for that. and as a bonus, it means we'll be able to read the code to said 3rd party services. Apr 25 17:36:21 ah Apr 25 17:36:28 is mDNS also 'fall'? Apr 25 17:36:42 precentral doesn't say Apr 25 17:36:55 exactly. And if you look at nodeJS and commonJS you'll see that there's a lot of interesting stuff in there, port access, etc etc. Apr 25 17:37:14 Ben & Dion could _not_ give dates. so, there's no date. Sorry. Apr 25 17:37:26 oh, ok. Apr 25 17:37:36 I could port mDNSResponder in embedded mode in case. Apr 25 17:37:48 switch to system service as soon as available. Apr 25 17:38:17 millenomi Palm is a publicly traded company. If they make a delivery promise, and then fail to meet it, they have to file paperwork with the SEC about how that failure might have effected profitability and stock price. Apr 25 17:38:32 it's a big PITA, so publicly traded companies do NOT make delivery promises. Apr 25 17:38:51 ah, yea. I understand. it's just that the only keynote info I have is precentral's, and it's basically a bunch of tweets and a handful of photos Apr 25 17:38:59 it's really easy to accuse someone of stock manipulation in that situation. Apr 25 17:39:00 just asking if they missed it or were unclear on it. Apr 25 17:39:13 I know, I know. Patience. i didn't keep that careful of notes. Apr 25 17:39:19 ok :) Apr 25 17:39:29 happiness abounds anyway Apr 25 17:39:30 And in 2 days I was pretty well overwhelmed with data. Apr 25 17:39:49 Rick_work: was the first day worthwhile? Apr 25 17:40:18 Pre ready to ship in 3 days, sez order tracking :D Apr 25 17:41:07 I need to figure out how to set up some 2D graphics with GLES2 on the PDK.. all the examples I can find online use functions that aren't included in ES :/ Apr 25 17:41:30 anyone know/have some good examples or anything? Apr 25 17:42:01 it depends. Was it worthwile to set through an intro to webOS programming? No. Was it worthwile to see Steve Lemke's Ares presentation, yes. But what what really worthwile was setting and chatting one on one with Ben, Dion, Grey Norton, Stephan Feaster, Steve Lemke, Chuq, etc. Apr 25 17:42:22 right right Apr 25 17:42:22 Tman, join #webos-internals Apr 25 17:42:31 Rick_work: in there :p Apr 25 17:42:47 Tman, this is the javascript channel. :) Apr 25 17:42:58 lol.. k Apr 25 17:43:35 need a #webos-PDK channel Apr 25 17:45:32 it's dead in there right now though Apr 25 17:46:03 wrong time of day, sorry. Apr 25 19:51:02 I have a text field then a button. I want to be able to enter text in the text field, hit the button, then go to the next scene. I know "Mojo.Controller.stageController.pushScene("SceneName");" is used to push the scene but is using cookies the best way to pass information onto the next scene? Apr 25 19:58:15 yarrr Apr 25 19:58:33 anyone here using admob? Apr 25 19:59:49 nope Apr 25 20:04:26 damn. Apr 25 20:04:40 I'm trying to figure out how to get this set up, but it seems like I already have to have the app I want to add the ads to already created...? Apr 25 20:04:45 it's kind of confusing. Apr 25 20:07:18 I have no idea, sorry Apr 25 20:09:53 s'cool. Apr 25 20:41:58 twbbas: ping Apr 25 20:44:41 eh, I got around it Apr 25 20:44:57 ok Apr 25 20:45:10 thanks though Apr 25 20:45:35 Another question, I'm making a list in Ares and I can't find anywhere of how to edit what's in the list in the code Apr 25 20:45:47 All I can find is how to do it without using ares Apr 25 20:46:45 * haeffb dont do ares Apr 25 20:46:52 lol Apr 25 20:46:55 It's so easy though! Apr 25 20:47:37 hmm I think I found out how Apr 25 20:47:52 ...i already learned the hard way... Apr 25 21:09:02 Man, I can't find anywhere of how to add an item to a list through the code. Not through the "add item" button on a list. I want to generate a list based on variables that I have... Any ideas? Apr 25 21:18:25 ok cool got it working Apr 25 21:26:37 Hi all Apr 25 21:27:00 hi Apr 25 21:39:30 twbbas you still have problems with your list? Apr 25 21:46:05 Nah, I got it working Apr 25 21:46:29 You happen to know how to add a second line (smaller text) to a row in the list? Similar to how Preware does it with the app rows Apr 25 21:53:19 hmm.. Apr 25 21:53:53 can some correct me if I'm wrong: doing the "back" gesture in an app will pop the current scene, and activate the previous one in the stack (if any) ? Apr 25 21:57:27 warpdesign: yes Apr 25 21:57:43 unless you capture the back gesture, that is what happens Apr 25 21:57:49 ok. Is there a way to change this behaviour ? Apr 25 21:58:08 what would you like to change? Apr 25 21:58:24 hi haeffb Apr 25 21:58:33 and are you sure you want to change it - the default behavior is expected by webOS users. Apr 25 21:58:36 hi JenP Apr 25 22:02:01 what is the scope of "this"? method or file? Apr 25 22:03:07 oh, thread. Apr 25 22:11:08 why would i get a 'can not read property mojo of null on this: this.imageViewElement.mojo.leftUrlProvided(this.imgArray[previousImg]); Apr 25 22:18:37 JenP: depends on how you call your function/method Apr 25 22:18:58 haeffb: yes, I know that Apr 25 22:19:05 hmm.. I'll have to check that Apr 25 22:19:15 yeah it was working before but now not Apr 25 22:20:51 haeffb: is there a way to see the contact of the scene stack ? Apr 25 22:22:10 seems like there on the emulator scenes aren't always poped when using the back gesture.. or I am misunderstanding something Apr 25 22:23:41 content, not contact Apr 25 22:26:27 is there a difference between doing this.controller.push() from the StageController, and this.controller.stageControler.push() from one of my scene's assistant ? Apr 25 22:26:37 seems like it's not pushed on the same stack... Apr 25 22:42:15 do you have only one stage? Apr 25 22:51:39 yes Apr 25 22:52:25 yeah, seems to have a different behaviour if I push a scene from the StageAssistant or from a Scene's Assistant (using this.controller.stageController.pushScene() in that case) Apr 25 22:52:59 I thought I could access my StageAssistant using this.controller.stageController but it seems it's different Apr 25 23:03:47 hmm.. seems like I was doing something wrong... again :) Apr 25 23:04:03 it's ok now.. scenes were pushed over and over... but it's fixed now Apr 25 23:04:07 thanks for the hint Apr 25 23:04:10 bye Apr 25 23:15:28 hmm strange things afoot with me gps locator Apr 25 23:23:41 is it safe to assume cleanup() happens when the card is tossed? Apr 25 23:25:39 i believe so Apr 25 23:34:28 zsoc: yes, safe assumption. Apr 25 23:34:58 ty Apr 25 23:35:20 haeffb: er... do you need ;'s after your }'s that ends each function? Apr 25 23:38:42 need? no. but you should have. Apr 25 23:38:59 run one of your .js files thru jslint. Apr 25 23:39:08 what editor are you using? Apr 25 23:39:22 haeffb: eclipse Apr 25 23:39:29 use the validator? Apr 25 23:39:37 but it doesn't pick up stuff like that, not sure if i need to be in a certain uh.. view thingy Apr 25 23:39:40 vali.. da.. tor?

Apr 25 23:43:19 amazing tool Apr 25 23:43:31 haeffb: it's suggesting i use === instead of == to compare true.. does that make sense? Apr 25 23:44:35 === means comparison with the same type Apr 25 23:44:40 it always fails if the types of the left and right are different Apr 25 23:45:06 Kuraiou: it's just if (var == true) in this context Apr 25 23:45:18 haeffb: is there a similar tool for C that you know of? Apr 25 23:45:43 * haeffb don't do C Apr 25 23:45:47 but probably. Apr 25 23:46:01 hm, ok :> Apr 25 23:46:18 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_%28software%29 Apr 25 23:47:56 C is where lint started.
