**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Apr 29 02:59:56 2010 Apr 29 03:01:08 need to watch Breakout Apr 29 03:05:28 well, anyone who has held palm since just BEFORE the webos announcement did well. Apr 29 03:05:43 But people who bought palm at 15.... not so much Apr 29 03:05:45 rick-home: yeah Apr 29 03:06:11 bbl Apr 29 03:06:33 rick-home: i was ready to invest then, but had to wait till Feb 2009 so bought at 8.40 Apr 29 03:06:44 rick-home: whats up mr. rick Apr 29 03:06:45 hey rick .. what's your take on the palm/hp deal? isn't it strange we were just there and now they're being sold Apr 29 03:07:57 swisstomcat: eh, more like they are being... financed ;) Apr 29 03:08:40 zsoc: as long as they keep the palm brand Apr 29 03:08:53 LoneStar99: they will Apr 29 03:08:57 swisstomcat: being bought by HP is like the second coming Apr 29 03:09:05 HP?... but I can't be cheering for HP :( Apr 29 03:09:08 swisstomcat: and I don't even believe in the first coming Apr 29 03:09:10 compaq still has their brand, it's been years Apr 29 03:09:25 yeah, my hp laptop says compaq 6910p Apr 29 03:09:44 zsoc: that is HP's way of selling some stuff cheap Apr 29 03:11:08 it could have been a gold ole Shangai company... Apr 29 03:11:47 LoneStar99: HP was perfect. No significant investment in Android, no significant presence in smartphones, but deep pockets Apr 29 03:12:57 LoneStar99: not to mention significant hardware capabilities, and a need of a cheap OS to ship on tablets that won't cost them a windows 7 license Apr 29 03:13:18 could have been lenovo. I thought it was GOING to be lenovo. HP makes me happy Apr 29 03:13:56 I like Lenovo... not so fond of HP Apr 29 03:14:01 rick-home: lenovo would have been better than failure by a long shot Apr 29 03:14:17 lenovo would have been a VERY BAD FIT. Apr 29 03:14:29 Lenovo does not operate independent business units. HP does. Apr 29 03:14:40 i just rode by palo alto on the caltrain a few days ago :) Apr 29 03:14:45 rick-home: Yep. Unexpected, but briliant Apr 29 03:15:01 HP makes me happy also rick-home Apr 29 03:15:05 Palm is a quintessentially american company. Lenovo would have crushed them. Apr 29 03:15:11 not saying it'd be a great fit... but I love my lenovo hardware a lot more than any HP hardware i've had the misfortune of using Apr 29 03:15:16 HP is a major sponsor of many open source initiatives. Apr 29 03:15:17 rick-home: provided that palm busts out FULL java support at some point Apr 29 03:15:20 Lenono, not so much Apr 29 03:15:42 how come nobody considered HP during the rumor period? Apr 29 03:15:59 cphelps, in a release coming to palm very very soon, java is going to be utterly dumped from the machine, there will be no jvm. That's been public. Apr 29 03:16:00 dpivs: some did Apr 29 03:16:03 dpivs: That's the question of the day Apr 29 03:16:19 oh yeah, derek kessler, hahaha. i have to dig up that prediction. Apr 29 03:16:27 rick-home: You're not funny. Apr 29 03:16:32 Dieter predicted HP Apr 29 03:16:42 cphelps. I'm not joking. No jvm. Apr 29 03:16:44 DELL was "suppose to buy" Palm for a year according to "analysts" Apr 29 03:17:02 yes, no more jvm, i heard it too Apr 29 03:17:12 cphelps, that's why preware service and all other webos-internals services have been re-written in C. Apr 29 03:17:17 rick-home: uh, all the services are java, and they just said they were opening that up to non palm folks Apr 29 03:17:27 and all palm services are in the process of being ported to C or to javascript services. Apr 29 03:17:36 they new ones will be C, and have java/script/ middleware Apr 29 03:17:49 Not java, javascript services. See for reference NodeJS and commonJS Apr 29 03:17:53 it will make the phone 2893482384 times faster Apr 29 03:17:54 javascript. Not java. Apr 29 03:17:58 yup Apr 29 03:18:07 Wow. Where did I miss this? Apr 29 03:18:08 it's cool that Palm stays American, damn that's such a scrappy company. Apr 29 03:18:16 palm developer days keynote Apr 29 03:18:23 it's been around for a while cphelps. Apr 29 03:18:36 that's where it was announced Apr 29 03:18:40 rick-home: I have not been around for awhile, so that's an issue :-) Apr 29 03:18:40 and there was a very detailed presentation on nodeJS and javascript services at devdays. Apr 29 03:19:48 but I'm a java dev! That's the whole reason I've purchased myself an Android phone. Apr 29 03:19:54 how soon to webOS 2? will it include hardware accelerated theora? :D Apr 29 03:20:06 that's what I'm crossing my fingers for Apr 29 03:20:21 Hardware accelerated mojo. Apr 29 03:20:33 in a release by "fall" Apr 29 03:20:52 cphelps, java, as a language, sucks dead bunnies. :) Apr 29 03:21:36 rick-home: it's not so bad Apr 29 03:21:39 hardware accelerated css3 transitions Apr 29 03:21:41 rick-home: I've been developing java for 8 years, and have no complaints except the lack of unsigned integers Apr 29 03:21:41 then, there's the fact that it's almost never compiled, it's like visual basic, or foxpro, a semi-interpreted language... Apr 29 03:22:02 rick-home: that's called bytecode Apr 29 03:22:14 cphelps, call it what you will..... Apr 29 03:22:57 cphelps, and I can't take seriously a language which not just lacks, but for some philosophical reason which I not only don't understand but which strikes me as religious, lacks a case statement. :) Apr 29 03:23:30 rick-home: I wouldn't use one if they had one, so that's not a loss for me :-) Apr 29 03:23:36 basically tho, it just doesn't fit my brain. I've tried. I failed. Fortunately, there are other languages. :) Apr 29 03:23:49 rick-home: are you really in Corvallis? Apr 29 03:24:01 I'm in Topeka Kansas Apr 29 03:24:17 you mean Google, KS? Apr 29 03:24:21 rick-home: why does whois say Corvallis Or? Apr 29 03:24:28 I have no idea. Apr 29 03:24:36 yes, google kansas sorry. Apr 29 03:25:02 rick-home: lame, that's just your freenode server, my bad. I remembered you being midwestern Apr 29 03:26:02 Look, when I was making the transition from linear structured code to object oriented code, the languages I was working in did not distinguish between classes and objects. An object can have both properties AND methods. Properties can be public OR private. You can therefore, pass a function TO a function. When I encountered Javascript, my little heart went pitter pat because it was just like home. Apr 29 03:26:27 java just confuses me. Apr 29 03:26:52 java is horrible Apr 29 03:26:53 rick-home: horses for courses, and more importantly, to each his own Apr 29 03:27:12 exactly. And for me -- java -- Ick -- shudder. Apr 29 03:27:20 rick-home: however, blocking out a whole fat ton of pre-written software from running on a device is ill conceived Apr 29 03:27:24 I understand that this is not the case for others. Apr 29 03:27:25 rick-home: i won't even ask you about python ;) Apr 29 03:27:28 it wreaks of apple stupidity Apr 29 03:27:29 I like java based on case by case, otherwise I preffer c Apr 29 03:27:44 I hate having to know huge command strings Apr 29 03:28:02 cphelps: webos is not like other frameworks, supporting java is backwards and too far abstracted, it just doesn't make sense Apr 29 03:28:04 300 400 chars long, 10 or 15 parts ick Apr 29 03:28:09 CTLAdvance: C plus a nice toolkit like GTK is everything a person needs Apr 29 03:28:11 a jvm is too fat for an embedded device .. case in point: all the oom errors Apr 29 03:28:21 zsoc: as a phone I agree. As a tablet, I don't Apr 29 03:28:33 Python, -structurally- is a facinating language. Whomever decided to use syntatically meaninful white space in a language was an obsessive compulsive neatfreak who should have had his keyboard rubbed in dog doodoo until he understood the problem. Apr 29 03:28:34 Yeah C actually overtook Java now as top language Apr 29 03:29:05 cphelps: I agree with you there. However, by the time that manifests (a year?), HTML5/css3/canvas will be replacing flash/java Apr 29 03:29:16 oh, don't forget webGL :> Apr 29 03:29:28 with hardware accelerated WebGL Apr 29 03:29:41 and flying unicorns and rainbows Apr 29 03:30:10 i my opinion flash will be totally dead in 2 years Apr 29 03:30:12 I cant wait to get a HP WebOS Slate, should be easy to dual boot it to your productive os linux or windows Apr 29 03:30:21 and have webOS for everything else Apr 29 03:30:30 zsoc: you're still thinking a little too high level. I agree that those things need to exist for the less advanced user Apr 29 03:30:52 zsoc: but I like me a debugger with breakpoints and watches Apr 29 03:30:58 cphelps: I'm writing a service right now in C. Trust me, I hate abstraction as much as the next guy, but this is the way things are going. Apr 29 03:31:31 zsoc: They don't have to go any particular way. A JVM on snapdragon's 1GHz is plenty fast Apr 29 03:31:34 cphelps, are you aware that we not GOT a debugger with breakpoints and watches in Javascript on the palm? Apr 29 03:31:44 cphelps: and that's why Android exists :) Apr 29 03:31:55 rick-home: i didn't even know that? lol Apr 29 03:32:01 rick-home: not really Apr 29 03:32:05 Android exists until MS sues for pantent money Apr 29 03:32:10 which they will get Apr 29 03:32:14 rick-home: I haven't written any pre code since like november Apr 29 03:32:18 or earlier even Apr 29 03:32:28 ok it wont die Apr 29 03:32:29 zsoc, open an emulator. Bring up an app. Go to http://ares.palm.com/AresDebug Apr 29 03:32:36 yup, good stuff Apr 29 03:32:41 but MS will make a ton from google Apr 29 03:32:41 watch a full function emulator open which you can run against your app. Apr 29 03:33:03 very veyr cool, and in a "soon to be released" webos version, ditto against the real physical device Apr 29 03:33:18 rick-home: holy crap Apr 29 03:33:28 rick-home: why does one not know about this? Apr 29 03:33:32 rick-home: It's a nice honkey way to do stuff, but it's not really my preference Apr 29 03:33:40 and then there was Lemketron's revelation of Palm Host Mode, Mojo running IN YOUR WEBKIT BROWSER Apr 29 03:33:42 it was announced at the palm developer days too Apr 29 03:33:57 don't you guys read precentral .. eh .. hpcentral Apr 29 03:34:13 IDE's that require webaccess are not really my thing. Apr 29 03:34:18 don't you pay any attention at all to the liveblogging and twitters from Palm dev days? Apr 29 03:34:36 cphelps, As far as palm is concerned the web wins. Period. Apr 29 03:34:46 host mode has been around since 1.4.x i think Apr 29 03:34:54 the ares debugger is buggy Apr 29 03:34:59 swisstomcat it wasn't fully enabled. Apr 29 03:35:00 very cool to dabble around in your app with chrome developer tools Apr 29 03:35:03 rick-home: Palm isn't palm anymore Apr 29 03:35:05 it should improve over time Apr 29 03:35:06 how so CTLAdvance? Apr 29 03:35:20 Code runs differently for me in it then on the device Apr 29 03:35:32 rick-home: they may be making their own decisions now, but having a tablet that can't run any applications from any other platforms isn't what HP wants Apr 29 03:35:39 with the ares debugger you can even look at the palm apps Apr 29 03:35:41 the ares stand alone debugger is the result of an individual's 20% project. Apr 29 03:35:45 rick-home: and more importantly, it isn't what HP needs Apr 29 03:36:03 cphelps -- we shall see. Apr 29 03:36:03 Basically on the call, they will have an HP WebOS Slate, I listened to it live Apr 29 03:36:17 what does hp need, a slate running windows 7? Apr 29 03:36:19 so did I and that was my understanding as well. Apr 29 03:36:31 I would take a 7 slate Apr 29 03:36:34 windows mobile7 not full win7 Apr 29 03:36:40 rick-home: They aren't apple and they don't have 70,000 apps. A slate without an FTP client would be retarded Apr 29 03:36:44 no it would be full win 7 Apr 29 03:36:44 or at least, that was my understanding. Apr 29 03:36:56 kk Apr 29 03:37:13 they could call it the HP Foleo Slate Apr 29 03:37:13 did you read the reviews of those archos tablets running win 7? not pretty Apr 29 03:37:21 or Fooleo Apr 29 03:37:22 cphelps, an ftp client on webos would take about 3 hours of work once they allow me to write javascript services. Apr 29 03:37:44 rick-home: is javascript really going to be faster than bytecode java? Apr 29 03:37:49 no. Apr 29 03:37:51 The hp slate I saw at CES was sweet Apr 29 03:37:57 cphelps; Palm isn't palm anymore <-- this is very true. Apr 29 03:38:20 dpivs: it's just the truth. Palm was making a killer platform, but I think it will expand now Apr 29 03:38:22 cphelps, but it's going to have a substantially lower memory footprint than a JVM to run small services. Apr 29 03:38:46 rick-home: or ones that need to trigger real quick and then go chill out in the background again Apr 29 03:38:50 HP Needs to take there same win 7 slate, and make it as a webOS slate. it would be awesome. Maybe get rid of the HD and go with flash Apr 29 03:39:00 rick-home: I can see that. Lacking a compiler is my real problem, and one that I don't know how to fix. Maybe that is my problem though. Apr 29 03:39:01 javascript interpreted/compiled by the v8 javascript engine should be plenty fast Apr 29 03:39:10 cphelps: i see what you mean, i was thinking more along the lines of how nearly everyone that started w/ palm (dubinsky and hawkins) are now gone. Apr 29 03:39:27 Did anyone here actually listen to the conf call? Apr 29 03:39:33 I did Apr 29 03:39:49 um, hi Apr 29 03:39:52 uggggh Apr 29 03:40:01 hi2u Apr 29 03:40:11 hello Apr 29 03:40:26 hey nebula Apr 29 03:40:31 sup Apr 29 03:40:37 cphelps, that's my point, you didn't have a compiler. If you are in webos you HAVE v8 running. So there's no memory hit for v8. Jvm, not so much. If you can find a java compiler to native ARM code, then that's different, write the java apps, as long as their binaries, the pdk clearance routines don't care. Apr 29 03:40:39 Yeah the call explained alot... esp about the company, same players, same palm employees, just a better hardware division and more $$$ Apr 29 03:40:54 CTLAdvance: I did Apr 29 03:41:07 Also Java is a horrible memory pig, and is actually can be slower deppending on it usage compared to Java Apr 29 03:41:13 JS** Apr 29 03:41:15 and the statement that the current research funding going into webOS is "no where near enough and we will be substantially increasing that." Apr 29 03:41:28 Java is still interpreted on device, its not bytecode like c Apr 29 03:41:53 CTLAdvance: I think you are mistaken Apr 29 03:42:02 it gets compiled so the JVM can read it, then processed into machine code Apr 29 03:42:06 CTLAdvance: C NEVER being bytecode Apr 29 03:42:09 it's not native machine language like c, it IS bytecode running in the JVM. Apr 29 03:42:19 C is native machine language when compiled Apr 29 03:42:30 right Apr 29 03:42:49 well thats what I meant to say sorry I mis typed :D Apr 29 03:42:57 CTLAdvance: gotcha Apr 29 03:42:58 Java is run through the JVM Apr 29 03:43:01 but java gets fast when JIT compilers are used Apr 29 03:43:12 bpadalino: thank you Apr 29 03:43:13 which then turns certain portions of java into native code Apr 29 03:43:14 That' Apr 29 03:43:14 and that slows it down alot, especially when you have complex commands Apr 29 03:43:34 That is what has been missing on webos Apr 29 03:43:45 Yeah but its still slower and is a memory hog Apr 29 03:43:54 so, there's jnc and gcj that compiles java to native code Apr 29 03:43:57 CTLAdvance: if you ran an android phone with and without a JIT, you'd sing a different tune Apr 29 03:43:59 Have you ever use solaris for an extended period of time Apr 29 03:44:25 well obviously one is more hardware intensive then the other Apr 29 03:44:37 CTLAdvance: nope. I dev'd linux for 4 years, and the Windows the last 8 sadly Apr 29 03:45:07 woman says stop typing and start eating. I'll be back for some more abuse later folks Apr 29 03:45:08 Well I have used solaris for some time and its horrible slow, especially if its not run on a sweet sweet sparc machine Apr 29 03:46:02 I almost bought an ultra sparc machine a few years back. I am glad I didnt... Apr 29 03:47:07 I had an ultra 10... was free Apr 29 03:47:46 Wow, everytime I inquired about one they wanted between 5 - 10k based on my setup Apr 29 03:47:47 then I moved and had to give it and my PowerMac G3 beige tower :( Apr 29 03:47:52 I tried one, and sent it back Apr 29 03:48:09 it was very nice... ill have to look up what it was. Apr 29 03:49:11 that sucks Apr 29 03:52:23 ultra sparc 5 workstation on ebay for $23.75 Apr 29 03:53:11 I knew someone that had a beowulf cluster of ultra 10s in his closet Apr 29 03:53:27 ok, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I have what I think is an organizing idea Apr 29 03:53:48 wow thats cheap Apr 29 03:53:58 are all of you old enough to remember the transition from green-screen programming and DOS to GUI event driven programming and mac/window/X ???? Apr 29 03:55:06 during the transition, there was a lot of code that sort of lived with feet in both worlds, it was really really dos software, but had a windows shell slapped over it for pretty, and writing it was a bitch, because the dos software wasn't event driven, and the windows stuff wasn't capable. Apr 29 03:55:12 ditto mac and x. Apr 29 03:55:16 i remember in dos i would type things to play games Apr 29 03:56:01 I remember playing duke nukem 1 and booting into dos when I was 4 Apr 29 03:56:16 and running some command to get it to start Apr 29 03:56:23 but then, in the 90's, visual studio, delphi, visual foxpro, eclipse, and other fully integrated GUI ide's with languages that were fully event driven and had full knowledge of the gui arose and software took off Apr 29 03:56:35 I miss borland Apr 29 03:56:46 and consultants made a lot of money for a decade writing stuff in those languages that small and medium sized businesses needed. Apr 29 03:57:09 During the 2000's, the web is undergoing the same transition. Old style web pages are the equivalent of dos. Apr 29 03:57:39 Hand-coded ajax pages without good widget based and UI and system based toolkits are the equivalent of those "feet in both worlds" apps. Apr 29 03:57:41 you mean with frames and thingys Apr 29 03:58:15 Ares, and Sproutcore, and nodeJS and jquery and dojo provide the "third level" for web turning web apps into first-class citizens Apr 29 03:58:49 ok guys, im sure this is just something simple/dumb, but what's wrong with this? http://pastie.org/940369 Apr 29 03:59:01 and giving devs like me the opportunity to write apps that provide needed custom services to our end users for amounts that are profitable for me, and reasonable for them, just like we could do in VB, or Delphi, or whatever on the desktop. Apr 29 04:00:04 BigBiff_ uh, lots of things. What is it you're trying to do? Is this a mojo app? Is the target a mojo button? Or is this in ares? Apr 29 04:00:25 (in either case, the code is entirely wrong, just wrong in a different way?) Apr 29 04:00:33 hehe, "lots of things" Apr 29 04:00:48 the problem is, its in a row template Apr 29 04:00:52 with no id Apr 29 04:00:55 ahhhh Apr 29 04:00:56 ahhhh Apr 29 04:01:03 so your listener is on the list? Apr 29 04:01:10 dont know how to reference it by "name" Apr 29 04:01:15 yes Apr 29 04:01:45 ok, and you understand that in addition to a class that your div can have a name="RedButton" and that unlike ID's names are not required to be unique.... Apr 29 04:01:57 yes Apr 29 04:02:10 so event.target.Name? Apr 29 04:02:12 and you chose not to use a name, but rather to attempt to use the class? Apr 29 04:02:25 i'd rather use name Apr 29 04:02:57 ok then. event.target.name lower case. Apr 29 04:04:05 but wait, there's more. Apr 29 04:04:20 free slapchop? Apr 29 04:04:33 i can agree on the hand-written ajax/js being replaced by ide's like ares and frameworks, rick Apr 29 04:04:47 omg - wondered why event.target.name wouldnt work - ive tried dozen times Apr 29 04:04:56 i didnt give it a name Apr 29 04:04:59 wow Apr 29 04:05:11 SLAPCHOP Apr 29 04:05:16 that would be a problem. :) Apr 29 04:05:36 wow Apr 29 04:06:26 * swisstomcat calls the ghost(geist)busters Apr 29 04:06:27 Thanks markus, Apr 29 04:06:43 you'll love my nuts Apr 29 04:06:48 I'm very very impressed with sproutcore. Apr 29 04:07:13 although i like hand-written ajax/js ... but using ide's and framworks is probably more productive Apr 29 04:07:26 frameworks Apr 29 04:07:27 and I'm starting to get a handle on what actually HAPPENS in ares. Apr 29 04:07:31 hark - name is nogo Apr 29 04:08:11 Is there a tutorial somewhere for making lists with itemsCallback? Apr 29 04:08:38 yes. Apr 29 04:08:56 geist: you weren't kidding when you said the gpu in the pixi was pretty good .. according to that slide from the dev days, it pretty much beats out the pre in most everything Apr 29 04:09:04 yep Apr 29 04:09:07 look, what you do is add a listener to the widget (button's) div listening for Mojo.Event.ListTap Apr 29 04:09:13 it's a good design Apr 29 04:09:49 then, what you have to do is chase the reference to the MODEL object or look at event.target to figure out WHICH list item was tapped. Apr 29 04:10:11 i've got that setup Apr 29 04:10:25 geist, yeah - so now i'm checking out used pixi plus' Apr 29 04:10:30 and i can log it to className Apr 29 04:10:39 but not name Apr 29 04:10:48 on which slides was that noted with the pixi gpu? Apr 29 04:11:00 rick-home: Do you know where it is? Apr 29 04:11:00 swisstomcat: http://www.slideshare.net/fpatton/tremblay-chris-optimizing-3d-with-hw-palm-dev-day slide 7 Apr 29 04:11:20 ah, didn't go to that presentation Apr 29 04:11:59 thanks Apr 29 04:12:01 np Apr 29 04:14:28 ok, so i gave up and used id in the template - bad thing? Apr 29 04:14:47 theres only one button in the list so... Apr 29 04:14:55 in this case i'm ok Apr 29 04:15:02 but if were to want more than one Apr 29 04:15:27 uh, have you looked at http://webos101.com/List_Widget_With_Checkbox_Example Apr 29 04:15:36 ya Apr 29 04:16:02 didnt quite fit my case, cause i dont want the widget in every row Apr 29 04:16:11 huh!?!?!??! Apr 29 04:16:16 you should have said that up front. Apr 29 04:16:21 oh Apr 29 04:16:21 Where is the widget then? Apr 29 04:16:22 hehe Apr 29 04:16:33 I mean, the complexity is that it's in every row. Apr 29 04:16:37 where is your button? Apr 29 04:17:12 it's in one row now [3] in the list Apr 29 04:17:57 if i could just figure out how to reference it by name, then im golden Apr 29 04:17:58 is there ever only going to be one? Apr 29 04:18:13 depends on the list Apr 29 04:18:26 then why not write the code to assume that there's one in every box? Apr 29 04:19:20 i dunno - i guess its unnecessary in this stage Apr 29 04:19:28 but but but Apr 29 04:19:35 in this stage of development i should say Apr 29 04:19:37 two is every bit as bad as 134 Apr 29 04:19:49 ya Apr 29 04:20:06 so write it write from the beginning and build your sample list to have >1 button Apr 29 04:21:26 i could as it stands now with some tweaking in the array Apr 29 04:21:30 but Apr 29 04:21:42 hehehehe Apr 29 04:21:52 I've SAID that but. It's _always_ wrong. Apr 29 04:22:04 i still am not able to reference the button isolated from the other area of the row Apr 29 04:22:09 1.4.1.1 vz just hit, all... Apr 29 04:22:23 well, follow the checkbox example. Apr 29 04:22:46 the checkbox doesnt say how to isolate the checkbox Apr 29 04:23:25 i need event.target.name to work Apr 29 04:23:36 and it aint workin for me Apr 29 04:24:31 so for now, while i only have one, im gonna give up and use id Apr 29 04:24:33 hehe Apr 29 04:32:58 took vzw long enough Apr 29 04:46:52 1.4.1.1 is downloading on my phone Apr 29 04:47:02 seems slow .... Apr 29 04:47:22 don't know if it will override the metadoctor so holding off Apr 29 04:52:27 good question Apr 29 04:55:57 guess i'll find out soon enough Apr 29 05:03:38 yeah, tell me if it does Apr 29 05:03:46 ill update if it is Apr 29 05:15:45 updating ... Apr 29 05:25:27 so far so good, halfhalo Apr 29 05:34:33 i'm off, good night Apr 29 05:35:19 ugh Apr 29 05:35:28 why will event.target.name not work? Apr 29 05:35:40 event.target.id- great Apr 29 05:35:49 event.target.className - works too Apr 29 05:35:56 event.target.name - suckage Apr 29 05:38:45 BigBiff_: why do you need "event.target.name"? Apr 29 05:39:07 to hit a button in a list row Apr 29 05:40:06 i cant use className because it doesnt like the space for multiple class selectors Apr 29 05:40:46 "name" is referring to what? Apr 29 05:41:00 name of button div Apr 29 05:41:12 cant use id in the row template Apr 29 05:41:51 what does the code look like for your "row template"? Apr 29 05:43:34 BigBiff_: why can't u use id? Apr 29 05:44:07 id has to be unique, and the rows are not unique Apr 29 05:44:18 at least, thats what all the docs say Apr 29 05:45:03 ive tried to look at the messaging app in the sample Apr 29 05:45:11 i didn't name was a normal attribute of div Apr 29 05:45:17 but that's like trying to decipher tax law Apr 29 05:45:37 what is it for, like a tap or something? Apr 29 05:45:43 sure, name works fine in most cases Apr 29 05:45:46 yes Apr 29 05:45:54 do rows look like "
row 1
row 2
?? Apr 29 05:45:59 a tap apart from the rest of the row it's on Apr 29 05:46:11 no, im using template Apr 29 05:46:20 apart from the row? Apr 29 05:46:30 http://pastie.org/940435 Apr 29 05:46:37 ya Apr 29 05:46:56 if i only have one row with the button, i can use id Apr 29 05:47:06 and event.target.id works great Apr 29 05:47:56 what is #moreMojo doing? Apr 29 05:48:11 BigBiff_: yeah id needs to be unique Apr 29 05:48:58 hehe, that's just to add tap-highlight junk Apr 29 05:49:09 well in quotes it wont do anything xD Apr 29 05:49:13 they'res a spot for that in my array Apr 29 05:49:13 anyways Apr 29 05:49:25 actually, it works Apr 29 05:49:25 what are you trying to determine by looking at the name? Apr 29 05:49:48 probably dont need the quotes though Apr 29 05:49:59 actually i did Apr 29 05:50:12 event.target.name Apr 29 05:50:35 to try and get whats on line 7? Apr 29 05:50:53 this is an experiment Apr 29 05:51:05 to get the button itself on the row Apr 29 05:51:15 and not the row title, etc Apr 29 05:52:01 so the button is on the side or something? Apr 29 05:52:56 ya Apr 29 05:53:05 custom button really Apr 29 05:53:22 no idea how else to do it Apr 29 05:53:34 ive seen it done on other apps, such as the messaging app Apr 29 05:53:46 so something like this: http://www.webos-internals.org/images/5/5a/Wirc.png Apr 29 05:54:14 hehe, yes Apr 29 05:54:32 how are the buttons targeted? Apr 29 05:54:41 you still listen to the listTap Apr 29 05:54:46 but you give the button a distinct class Apr 29 05:54:53 http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=applications/wIRC.git;a=blob;f=app/assistants/server-list-assistant.js;h=1ad969c4373464eb6c1d6513c77b0eae85b432ee;hb=HEAD#l139 Apr 29 05:55:02 line 139 is the listTap handler for that list Apr 29 05:55:20 it checks if the className for the original target includes what we're looking for Apr 29 05:55:23 ya Apr 29 05:55:25 and acts accordingly Apr 29 05:55:38 i used className before - but there's a space due to multiples Apr 29 05:55:45 its ok Apr 29 05:55:50 i guess "includes" fixes that? Apr 29 05:55:58 ise className.includes('classtofind') Apr 29 05:56:00 use* Apr 29 05:56:13 er, include Apr 29 05:56:14 also Apr 29 05:56:19 no s at the end Apr 29 05:56:19 ahhhhhh Apr 29 05:56:24 that was the missing element Apr 29 05:56:29 :) Apr 29 05:56:34 u da man Apr 29 06:00:05 BigBiff_: did u get it working? Apr 29 06:00:24 ahhhhhh Apr 29 06:00:25 yes Apr 29 06:00:30 .include Apr 29 06:00:40 nice what was the fix? Apr 29 06:00:46 i've been looking for that solution for hours Apr 29 06:00:48 yes Apr 29 06:02:33 ".include" was the fix? Apr 29 06:02:42 yup Apr 29 06:03:02 oh wow nice Apr 29 06:03:18 event.target.className wouldnt work for multiple selectors - it didnt like the space for some reason Apr 29 06:03:35 if it was always the same you could just check for the whole thing Apr 29 06:03:41 but .className.include('oneofthem') Apr 29 06:03:42 was the fix Apr 29 06:03:50 if .className == "calss1 calss2" Apr 29 06:04:06 class* Apr 29 06:04:09 that's what i tried before Apr 29 06:04:28 i dont see why it wouldnt work, it works for setting multiple Apr 29 06:04:29 it doesnt like the space Apr 29 06:04:32 huh Apr 29 06:04:48 ya - it was killin me Apr 29 06:05:01 lol Apr 29 06:07:43 yup, .include allows the space Apr 29 06:08:04 but =='class class2' is no good Apr 29 06:13:21 ok - now to get rid of that button, my app is freaking out Apr 29 06:13:24 hehe Apr 29 06:28:04 \o/ - i think i will buy me an webOS tablet from HP :D Apr 29 06:29:51 haha wishful thinking? Apr 29 06:33:11 pygi, yes Apr 29 06:34:11 ;) Apr 29 07:04:58 Hello there. Apr 29 07:05:16 Does WebOS supports WebGL? Apr 29 07:06:57 I dont think so... Apr 29 07:08:41 afaik Apr 29 07:08:49 I think webgl support is being implemented in webkit Apr 29 07:08:57 so I do think you can expect it sometimes in the future Apr 29 07:09:08 especially now that it seems that WebOS has a future :) Apr 29 07:09:40 pygi: yeah.. but support for WebGl in WebKit is only available for Mac port.. Apr 29 07:10:00 be patient :) Apr 29 07:10:12 pygi: Support in Linux and Windows are still under development.. Apr 29 07:10:20 pygi: he he.. Apr 29 07:10:28 yea, well," is being implemented" Apr 29 07:10:33 present continous :P Apr 29 07:22:12 Also, WebOS uses cairo backend for rendering.. pls correct me if I am wrong.. Apr 29 07:25:25 Nayan, I will but later :P Apr 29 07:25:28 gotta run :D Apr 29 07:26:34 pygi: Sure.. Thanx.. Apr 29 07:27:02 i think HP is looking at me Apr 29 07:27:25 i bought an Compaq iPaq after theHP boucht Compaq Apr 29 07:27:37 now i bought an Palm Pre no HP will buy Palm Apr 29 07:27:47 no=now Apr 29 07:39:06 you should buy and Macbook and see what happens. Apr 29 08:31:28 when you install a package on your device, what is that hex string in curly braces that appears in the console? Apr 29 08:35:40 is there any way to set http headers for ajax.request calls? Apr 29 08:37:56 hrm, prototype says its possible, yay docs. Apr 29 09:01:10 Woody4u: thought about buying an ipad ? Apr 29 09:01:13 could be funny ;) Apr 29 09:03:12 warpdesign, NO - /me is an Anti Applehardware Guy Apr 29 09:09:36 too bad, hop could have killed the competition by buying them ;) Apr 29 09:09:52 so the question is why these departures if this is a good thing for webos ? Apr 29 09:10:18 or the iPhone would become REAL mutlitasking :D Apr 29 09:11:57 he he Apr 29 09:12:16 well, the thing bad about "real" multitasking is that once you have too much things running, the ui gets sluggish Apr 29 09:12:47 iphone ui experience appears to be smooth, no matter what you're doing.. Apr 29 09:56:56 * millenomi wishes he could say more about Apple's extremely clever, not-bogging-down-the-phone implementation of multitasking, but he's NDA-bound. Apr 29 09:57:40 millenomi: well, we've seen it all Apr 29 09:57:42 but rest assured that they Got It Right. Apr 29 09:57:48 no, I mean the technical details. Apr 29 09:58:00 well, actually it sounds like cooperative multitasking Apr 29 09:58:15 ghhhh-- can't-- talk-- Apr 29 09:58:56 of course it's not implemented this way: bsd is fully multitask.. but it the end and from the demos I saw, it very much looks like this + some trully multitask services, for sound streaming, etc.. Apr 29 09:58:57 anyway: assume the best. (or the worst, if you don't like iPhone OS) Apr 29 10:06:56 I don't assume anything ;) Apr 29 10:20:51 good choice. Apr 29 10:21:25 * millenomi tests out a quick thing before going to lecture @ uni Apr 29 10:33:24 http://millenomi.posterous.com/have-i-ever-mentioned-i-love-webos <3 Apr 29 10:33:31 and it even performs acceptably on device. Apr 29 10:33:34 neat Apr 29 12:04:33 http://drp.ly/Uuu9c :) Apr 29 12:04:58 should I redesign the slides for webOS? the iPhone ones look good Apr 29 12:05:02 mmm Apr 29 12:20:37 mornin Apr 29 12:37:30 mornin? here is it 2:30 PM Apr 29 12:58:36 howdy folks. Apr 29 13:00:51 so, in three hours of work, I have basically replicated 30% of my iPhone UI. nifty. Apr 29 13:00:52 :) Apr 29 13:06:54 Roy-Pre101: how did the meta-doctor turn out? Apr 29 13:07:39 rwhitby: I, well, I haven't run it on the device yet but the build part went fine. Apr 29 13:07:57 which options did you select? Apr 29 13:19:23 when i do a int += 6 ... do i create an object in the background, forcing the garbage collector to do its thing? Apr 29 13:25:32 rwhitby: 2xBypass + Developer mode Apr 29 13:57:29 guten morgen Apr 29 14:00:04 ja Apr 29 14:00:41 la Apr 29 14:00:42 pe Apr 29 14:00:44 no Apr 29 14:03:38 sugardave!

Apr 29 14:10:26 well, unboxing me pré+ :) Apr 29 14:10:42 :P Apr 29 14:10:57 I'm going to pretend that you guys DIDN'T get a Pre Plus Apr 29 14:11:12 loic_m: nice :) Apr 29 14:11:55 france is always late but finally got it Apr 29 14:12:33 oh, I thought you were one of the dev days people, nevermind....yay for your Pre Plus! Apr 29 14:13:17 no, i bought it Apr 29 14:22:27 devdays guys got phones ? Apr 29 14:47:26 anyone know of an app to sync music / video to pre wireless? Apr 29 14:50:22 huh, haven't received my check from palm yet this month >. Apr 29 14:50:23 >.> Apr 29 15:18:49 ..... amazing. Apr 29 16:05:04 if the netstat app wakes up every 5 minutes what kind of effect does that have on battery? Apr 29 16:22:21 hey gang Apr 29 16:22:28 it's the morning after. Apr 29 16:23:16 ? Apr 29 16:23:37 the morning after the buyout, er, merger announcement Apr 29 16:24:11 AH. fun Apr 29 16:24:12 hey hey hey. Apr 29 16:24:16 I thought it was the morning after heavy drinking. Apr 29 16:24:21 but I guess that's going to be tomorrow morning. Apr 29 16:24:44 Kuraiou: depends on what you mean by heavy drinking. Apr 29 16:24:50 I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that HP just dumps money into Palm and not any software or hardware engineering help Apr 29 16:25:10 RagingMind: They have some speech recognition stuff that might be useful Apr 29 16:25:22 RagingMind: same here, just push a bundle of money towards them and let them loose. Apr 29 16:25:42 chandler, that is the one thing that my new pre can't do that my razor could (so far) Apr 29 16:26:03 oops Apr 29 16:26:08 cphelps, ^ Apr 29 16:26:45 speech recognition would be really nice. Apr 29 16:26:46 Hello Apr 29 16:26:48 they did mention a mic API by fall Apr 29 16:26:50 heyas CTL Apr 29 16:26:59 hows it going today Apr 29 16:27:09 Kuraiou: which is about 6 months later than it should have been, or maybe a year Apr 29 16:27:13 yeah mic api, that's gonna be cool to mess with. Apr 29 16:27:19 yeah, I know :/ Apr 29 16:27:25 how long did the iPhone take before it had a mic API? Apr 29 16:27:29 or was it from the get-go? Apr 29 16:27:30 Kuraiou: Palm isn't Apple, so they need to stop acting like they can get away with the same bullshit. Apr 29 16:27:36 hehe. Apr 29 16:28:06 Kuraiou: with the right info, half the people who hang out on internals could have written that Apr 29 16:28:18 Palm needs to hire some of the internals folks. Apr 29 16:28:52 Kuraiou: or just more folks in general. Too much dough going into hardware research and not enough into software dev. Apr 29 16:29:40 Hopefully they will have both now Apr 29 16:39:18 now they have more cowbell. Apr 29 16:39:59 more cowbell? Apr 29 16:40:26 yeah, bad joke reference. Apr 29 16:41:26 gotta have more cowbell! Apr 29 16:45:43 I feel the need.... Apr 29 16:46:12 the need for speeeeed?

Apr 29 18:42:28 yes Apr 29 18:43:25 well if you get where name=anything your going to filter your results Apr 29 18:43:34 right Apr 29 18:43:51 maybe it's not possible in SQL Apr 29 18:43:55 do you have a field with record id? you can use Apr 29 18:44:01 or column I should say Apr 29 18:44:10 I needfooooooood Apr 29 18:44:11 the record id will not be in the correct order Apr 29 18:44:37 of course I can iterate on my own in code Apr 29 18:44:38 try select row_number() Apr 29 18:44:44 * halfhalo_class is confused as to what you are trying to do Apr 29 18:44:44 then use that Apr 29 18:44:52 he wants the row number Apr 29 18:44:59 ahhhhhhh Apr 29 18:45:00 however using filters Apr 29 18:45:15 its not going to work right as you may narrow down to one record Apr 29 18:45:19 halfhalo_class: yes, the row_number when I use a given ordering Apr 29 18:46:03 all I want it the position of the record in the index Apr 29 18:46:16 the db engine knows it, I'm sure Apr 29 18:47:08 I have a leaderboard and now I have an userID and want return the rank in this leaderboard Apr 29 18:47:23 without iterating through all records to find the matching one Apr 29 18:58:47 http://thinkdiff.net/mysql/how-to-get-rank-using-mysql-query/ looks good Apr 29 19:01:01 and it works :) Apr 29 19:05:52 anyone know if Palm stock will convert to HP stock? Apr 29 19:06:03 don't think so Apr 29 19:37:38 woot woot. the free version of my app is climbing the ranks pretty quickly >.> Apr 29 19:37:53 http://palmhotapps.com/details.jsp?packageid=com.fourthdraftsoftware.dicerollerlite Apr 29 19:40:53 oooh.. im loving the data output of the new tracking system ive developed ;D Apr 29 19:42:06 i know how many times my app has been installed on each carrier and what device it was Apr 29 19:42:32 I should do something like that. Apr 29 19:42:35 I hate not having that information at hand. :/ Apr 29 19:42:43 I have something like that... Apr 29 19:42:44 it just seems like kind of a lot of overhead for a danged dice rolling app XD Apr 29 19:42:47 oh man Apr 29 19:42:59 someone should write a plugin-enabled class to set up that easily Apr 29 19:43:08 i didnt have this implemented on my first app until about a month or two later =/ Apr 29 19:43:35 i thought i had it stable for my trial app i submitted, but it was broked.. so im missing some initial data yet again Apr 29 19:43:46 anyone know how to lowercase everything in a textfield? Apr 29 19:45:29 i see in Ares that textfield has a textCase attribute, anybody know if just putting that in makes it work? Apr 29 19:50:36 heheh, maybe i should just put this thing together in Ares. ~lightbulb!~ Apr 29 19:51:43 i don't know if to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04... i'm worried about the emulator for development Apr 29 19:52:52 dpivs: String has a toLowerCase Apr 29 19:53:15 so you can do an onkeypress event for the field that does model.value = model.value.toLowerCase() Apr 29 19:53:18 or something similar Apr 29 19:53:29 although textCase might do it, I haven't used textCase so I couldn't say. Apr 29 19:53:31 Kuraiou: thanks I'll try that Apr 29 19:54:06 from reading, it looks like textCase changes auto-setting, but doesn't FORCE that value Apr 29 20:00:13 here's the solution, it's the textCase attribute, but i was using 'cap-lowercase' which i got from Ares, but it's really 'textCase: Mojo.Widget.steModeLowerCase'. and it's in the documentation. Apr 29 20:05:12 fun Apr 29 20:45:26 hmmm, gettin some funky behavior Apr 29 20:45:46 BigBiff: you might want to be slightly more exact with your word use. Apr 29 20:45:55 hehe Apr 29 20:46:27 i have a list - when i click on one of the lower entries.... Apr 29 20:46:37 it fires up an ajax request Apr 29 20:46:47 , but while that happens the screen turns whit Apr 29 20:46:49 e Apr 29 20:46:53 :O Apr 29 20:47:02 BigBiff: feature. Apr 29 20:47:18 should i go ahead and submit my app to palm for the hot apps contest? Apr 29 20:47:23 :-p Apr 29 20:47:28 BigBiff: It's call "AutoWhiteDuringAjaxRequest" Apr 29 20:47:39 BigBiff: all the cool kids do it. Apr 29 20:47:44 well sure, it's completely intentional Apr 29 20:48:01 my concern is changing the color - more psychodelic Apr 29 20:48:13 hi there Apr 29 20:48:25 actually - i think i can remedy this Apr 29 20:48:45 does anyone know how to consume web services using Mojo? Apr 29 20:48:52 but i'm not sure why i can tap on the list, and the event fires WITHOUT highlighting the row... Apr 29 20:48:56 if i tap quick enough Apr 29 20:48:57 BigBiff: and if not, just tell the user to put a colored postit over their screen Apr 29 20:49:48 is chuq here? Apr 29 20:50:19 nope Apr 29 20:50:29 i think we need a "most unnecessary script for the desired task" competition Apr 29 20:50:38 i got that locked Apr 29 20:50:56 BigBiff: I pledge $0.05 Apr 29 20:51:05 right on Apr 29 20:51:17 * Tibfib will throw in a penny Apr 29 20:51:30 lol Apr 29 20:51:32 because why do it in 10 lines if you can do the same thing in 75? Apr 29 20:51:37 Kicks? Apr 29 20:51:49 BigBiff: depends on if you're paid by the line of code or not Apr 29 20:52:08 isnt that how palm pays? Apr 29 20:52:11 i swear.. theres more theme building themes for drupal than there are any actual usable ones.. i just wanna play around right now, not devote hours to having a usable site Apr 29 20:52:57 BigBiff: I'm not really sure. You can bet your ass that if they were paying by the usefulness of features, someone would have busted out mic support before now. Apr 29 20:53:17 hehe Apr 29 20:53:23 I have friends whose face goes white as a ghost at the mention of the word 'Drupal'. Apr 29 20:53:27 BigBiff: and they wouldn't be dumping java services support. Apr 29 20:53:44 well..... Apr 29 20:54:31 i'm gonna go ahead and submit my cumbersome code competition to rubenstein Apr 29 20:54:40 what's his cell? Apr 29 20:54:43 anyone? Apr 29 20:54:53 1 Apr 29 20:54:56 wait, i got it Apr 29 20:54:58 BigBiff: dunno, but on AIM he is HPOwnsMySoul Apr 29 20:54:59 No, wait, thats his house Apr 29 20:55:14 email: jonr@palm.com.... maybe?

Apr 29 20:57:47 sortakinda Apr 29 20:57:58 I use a middlelayer so that I can write webapps for it Apr 29 20:58:13 halfhalo_class: I'm on that bandwagon too. The HP thing may push be back to webos though Apr 29 20:58:32 webos is my main platform thought Apr 29 20:58:35 so you dont have to write purely in java, i gather Apr 29 20:58:43 android is just one I make custom apps for Apr 29 20:58:53 IE non-distributable ones Apr 29 20:59:07 cool Apr 29 20:59:49 webos is just... better in that regard Apr 29 20:59:58 but my chat app is on hold unilt js services Apr 29 21:14:49 Anyone still here?

Apr 29 21:21:20 fuck it Apr 29 21:21:23 everyone just wants me to make 3d dice Apr 29 21:21:41 except the one 3d die app webos has nobody uses, because it's kind of awful Apr 29 21:21:54 because all the 3d physics dice apps for all the phones completely miss the point of having dice on your phone Apr 29 21:22:35 lies Apr 29 21:23:52 it's cumbersome, takes time, and it's difficult to read, and you can't do complicated stuff like exploding values at all Apr 29 21:23:56 people want real dice Apr 29 21:24:00 good idea kuraiou Apr 29 21:24:02 which is fine, and I get that Apr 29 21:24:06 Ill make bobbledice Apr 29 21:24:11 hahahah Apr 29 21:24:11 hahahahahaha Apr 29 21:24:23 ill have them up tomorrow Apr 29 21:33:57 hey, when the status is Ready for Review Apr 29 21:34:08 is there anyway i can just come out of it?

Apr 29 22:56:27 it's my very first game, and i love it, totally new experience apart from all the business software Apr 29 22:58:43 haeffb: it already died Apr 29 22:59:06 I've been having issues this entire week Apr 29 22:59:15 touchstone & usb? Apr 29 22:59:20 just usb Apr 29 22:59:26 not tengo un touchstone Apr 29 22:59:40 but I've tested multiple batteries with multiple usb cords Apr 29 23:00:57 joetweeply: that is awesome, how close are you to releasing your game? Apr 29 23:01:48 that's a good question... i have yet to decide wether i add some more functionality or leave it as it is.... but i definitely have to work on the balancing.. then highscore saving and a start screen, then it's up to go Apr 29 23:02:09 when i keep up my pace it should be finished around next week if i don't add more functionality Apr 29 23:02:45 what type of game is it? Apr 29 23:03:04 is it going to be free or paid? Apr 29 23:03:30 currently it is just a top-scroller where you have to steer a spacecraft around some obstacles... being fireballs flying down Apr 29 23:03:44 i want to make it a 1 euro game Apr 29 23:03:51 so 99 cents it is Apr 29 23:04:24 right on Apr 29 23:04:55 though it has a special feature that i have not seen in other games before, and that i definitely do not reveal until the release Apr 29 23:05:12 yeah don't Apr 29 23:05:29 yet i think about adding collectibles like coins or stuff to add up to the highscore.. Apr 29 23:05:51 currently the highscore is just the flying time without a crash in seconds Apr 29 23:07:46 joetweeply: games are a hot seller and if you sell for 1 euro it will sell like crazy, so just release it as soon as you can, you have a chance to make money on the hot app contest Apr 29 23:09:07 you are right Apr 29 23:09:13 i totally forgot about the hot app thing Apr 29 23:09:18 ok gotta go, need to go sample wine Apr 29 23:09:27 yeah an easy $1000 for a game Apr 29 23:09:31 then it is just the balance and the startscreen plus highscore Apr 29 23:09:38 chat later Apr 29 23:09:42 thanx for the tip and have fun with the wine Apr 29 23:09:49 thanks Apr 29 23:10:22 i wish there was app that allowed wireless sync for the pre Apr 29 23:10:36 i see there is one in the app store but $10 is too much Apr 29 23:10:38 I think there is... depending on what you're wanting to sync Apr 29 23:10:43 nvm Apr 29 23:10:49 i want to sync music and video Apr 29 23:16:44 * Tibfib can't figure out how he broke his chat app Apr 29 23:22:04 does anybody have an idea how i can turn off the rotation for a scene?

I don't think it does, but I thought I'd check just in case :) Apr 29 23:55:16 I thought it did Apr 29 23:58:30 but I'm probably wrong, as I often am Apr 30 00:01:48 Tibfib: I'm not quite sure either. It probably doesn't matter anyway :p Apr 30 00:40:56 wow Apr 30 00:41:02 ? Apr 30 00:41:38 i must have stopped doing PHP when it was getting good.. just discovered doctrine Apr 30 00:50:00 If I used base64 encoding and encoding for generating an OAuth signature. Is that considered "Data Encryption" by Palm? Apr 30 00:57:31 Anyone :S Apr 30 00:57:36 why the crap would this not be valid? $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE NOTIFIED = 'no' LIMIT 1;"); ? Apr 30 00:57:44 catalystmedia: not sure... I was wondering the same thing Apr 30 00:58:25 I would think not, it's not even good encryption, Base64 can be decoded without any kind of key or anything... hmm Apr 30 00:58:31 Has anyone had experience with this? Apr 30 00:58:50 why its NOTIFIED all caps? Apr 30 00:59:09 just how i set the table up Apr 30 00:59:14 err... i mean column Apr 30 00:59:19 i dunno Apr 30 00:59:24 try putting the where in () Apr 30 00:59:32 WHERE (clause) LIMIT 1; Apr 30 00:59:42 ok Apr 30 01:00:42 no dice Apr 30 01:00:59 try echoing the statement Apr 30 01:01:15 maybe $table isnt correct?

Apr 30 01:03:11 NOTIFIED='no' ? Apr 30 01:03:15 the error is from when i do mysql_fetch_array($result)....

Apr 30 01:10:16 will do Apr 30 01:11:02 should I use Ares or SDK/Virtualbox it up? Apr 30 01:12:15 tough choice. Try both and see what you like Apr 30 01:12:38 Ares is quicker to get up and going, but its alot of cookiecutting imho Apr 30 01:13:11 the thing I like about ares is its in the cloud... but yea it looks very cookie cutter... however the first few apps I have ideas for it would probably work out Apr 30 01:14:04 if youve got the time, try em both out, all you'll be wasting is time one way or the other :P Apr 30 01:18:49 * halfhalo_T400 is failing Apr 30 01:21:26 * halfhalo_T400 wants a simple tutorial of making a dashboard ONLY stage.... Apr 30 01:23:11 apparently you aren't supposed to make a dashboard only app Apr 30 01:23:24 lemme find the link Apr 30 01:23:28 but... but.... but.... but.... I want to! Apr 30 01:23:51 wait.. Apr 30 01:23:52 um Apr 30 01:24:06 wasnt the fix for 1.3.5 background processes to basically make a dashboard app? Apr 30 01:24:14 http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=5951 Apr 30 01:24:44 fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff Apr 30 01:25:30 halfhalo_T400, just make a splash that sets an alarm to fire off in 2seconds after you close the card Apr 30 01:25:54 then when it closes, the alarm fires the background part of the app Apr 30 01:26:13 and your into dashboard land Apr 30 01:26:53 s/after/then Apr 30 01:27:06 meh, I'll work on that part later Apr 30 01:27:14 decided to get the server api up first Apr 30 01:27:36 yeh i dislike server api.. Apr 30 01:27:57 Well, this is basically a two part app, one part desktop the other pre Apr 30 01:27:58 one change can goof things up and once its live you gotta work on a totally seperate area not to break it.. Apr 30 01:28:09 it is called 'preMonitor' Apr 30 01:28:40 it appears more sprint users have downloaded my trial Apr 30 01:29:45 basically, my app lets people see certain info about their pre(s) on their desktop, and also will have a "send to pre" option from the desktop Apr 30 01:29:47 75% Pre, 25% Pixi Apr 30 01:30:18 what carrier is ROW?

Apr 30 01:33:56 nah, too much work finding it Apr 30 01:34:26 keywords Apr 30 01:34:34 sviz: Regarding Ares: Definitely try it out. There's nothing you can't do with it that you can do with the SDK and Palm is putting a lot of effort into Ares so expect things to pop up there first. Apr 30 01:34:58 true Apr 30 01:35:00 99% of my bookmarks are keyworded, so, i just type "reader" to go to google.com/reader, or "facebook" to go to facebook.com", etc Apr 30 01:38:26 http://webos.pastebin.com/SFfhVAUM Apr 30 01:38:55 how are you getting the carrier/device info?
