**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat May 29 02:59:57 2010 May 29 03:00:28 It's pretty easy in...Java... May 29 03:00:44 so i assume it works similar, except now it mines for the most similar word and pops up search results May 29 03:02:01 was reading some weeks ago, that voice recognition technolgy now is the same as almost 2002, like no breaktroughs in the technology May 29 03:02:24 It's never really caught on May 29 03:03:21 so I am assuming google is probably using 2002 tweaked code, which is out there some where May 29 03:05:31 Tibfib: have thought about voice search, but can not come to a clear answer May 29 03:06:45 on how it really works. May 29 03:07:02 There must be a downloadable API or an online service as reality9110 suggested. Every app that uses voice recognition can't have created their own software for it. :/ May 29 03:07:12 reality9110: how accurate is the google voice search on android? May 29 03:07:21 Let me check May 29 03:07:31 Tibfib: yeah exactly May 29 03:07:51 Pretty darn accurate May 29 03:08:25 yeah. I just said, "Elvis Presley wore a skirt" and it got it. May 29 03:09:09 The thing is, voice recognition is built into Java. May 29 03:09:29 http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/speech/forDevelopers/jsapi-guide/Recognition.html May 29 03:09:46 :O May 29 03:09:48 So the entire library is just already built into it May 29 03:10:20 wow May 29 03:10:33 does the pdk allow java plugins? May 29 03:10:49 i sure there is c++ or c code that does the same May 29 03:11:34 Yes. There are c++ libraries for speech recognition May 29 03:12:01 http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Speech-Recognition-HOWTO.html May 29 03:12:49 wow last revised in 2002 May 29 03:13:10 i used a similar setup in an asterisk system May 29 03:13:15 Just an FAQ. Doesn't mean the libraries haven't been updated May 29 03:14:54 reality9110: thanks, May 29 03:15:36 now is there a microphone api in webos? May 29 03:15:42 hehe, no. May 29 03:15:56 pdk? May 29 03:16:02 No May 29 03:16:07 no mic apis at all. May 29 03:16:12 boo May 29 03:16:12 coming this fall though May 29 03:16:25 Tibfib: how do you know that? May 29 03:16:28 (that's what palm says) May 29 03:16:31 they said it at dev day May 29 03:16:44 http://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=5766 May 29 03:16:47 oh ok cool May 29 03:16:55 what linux does webos use anyone? May 29 03:17:13 the closest distro to it? May 29 03:17:30 LFS. It's got to be a custom build May 29 03:17:32 http://www.precentral.net/webos-get-mic-camera-api-faster-services-plenty-more-fall May 29 03:20:00 I think a lot of people looked at the PDK as kind of a cure all for a lot of shortcomings of WebOS. But, it's really not. May 29 03:20:32 reality9110: agreed, especially with the constraints that have been placed on acceptance of PDK apps into the app catalog. May 29 03:20:33 reality9110: i think the PDK was catered more towards gaming development May 29 03:20:39 Yes May 29 03:21:25 well, it's geared towards whatever makes the most money for Palm, and that currently is games. May 29 03:21:43 You still have to work within the limitations of the OS itself. For instance, audio is still all run through gstreamer. So, with the PDK you could make an application like songbird, but you're still only going to be able to support whatever audio codecs that gstreamer already has installed. May 29 03:21:45 that's the responsibility of a public company to it's shareholders May 29 03:21:52 if they allowed access to the microphone using the PDK, developers would make killer apps May 29 03:22:32 I'm just happy for HPalm. I'm ready for things to get done; ready for new apis May 29 03:23:24 I'm ready for Java support. Seriously. That's what I want. May 29 03:23:25 Tibfib: i agree May 29 03:23:51 There are so many little things that java can tie together easily in a web application. May 29 03:23:51 have mostly search apps, and they all suck cuss nothing cooler can be done with them May 29 03:24:15 apps need more interactivity May 29 03:24:24 reality9110: java support isn't gonna happen. They are _removing_ java services support... May 29 03:24:32 Yes, I know. May 29 03:24:46 just making sure :) May 29 03:24:56 and I'm irritated by that. I wrote a long email a few days ago about it. May 29 03:25:41 If they would have furthered support for it, it would make porting of Android apps over to WebOS very easy for developers. May 29 03:25:41 reality9110: do a dummy spit like Jason did, you might get it extended even further May 29 03:25:56 hah! May 29 03:26:30 I've gone off on them a few times. May 29 03:26:50 reading this http://www.precentral.net/webos-get-mic-camera-api-faster-services-plenty-more-fall makes me excited. lots of stuff I forgot about May 29 03:27:04 One time, RadioTime got rejected because some station in the middle of BFE wasn't playing. It was the only station they tested. May 29 03:27:20 They sent it back saying, "Does not work." May 29 03:28:46 hi everyone May 29 03:29:32 hello haeffb May 29 03:29:41 hello May 29 03:29:51 And when I say BFE, I mean it. Radio Free Asia Khmer. http://www.rfa.org/khmer/ Can you read that website? May 29 03:29:56 what's new May 29 03:30:41 well I am going to have to be using VZW Navigator tomorrow May 29 03:30:55 hello May 29 03:32:50 must admit, been in slacker with webos for about 2 months now May 29 03:33:26 At least 2 months here May 29 03:33:46 I have that along with pandora and hibiki and so on May 29 03:34:40 monkey May 29 03:34:51 TheSavaLord: Booooo. May 29 03:35:03 TheSavaLord: RadioTime...where it's at. May 29 03:35:05 reached a point not sure how to make the apps better with more interactivity and without making them free May 29 03:35:18 I have that also May 29 03:35:34 TheSavaLord: Good. Use it. Click ads. Make me money. May 29 03:35:40 I bought hibiki May 29 03:35:57 why not charge for it May 29 03:36:08 I would of bought it May 29 03:36:16 Because charging for an application makes less money overall. May 29 03:36:46 not true. definitely depends on what the app does May 29 03:36:47 there I clicked on a link for you May 29 03:36:53 had an app that was doing fairly well at a perfect rating, then it went down to 4.8 and 99% of sales where killed May 29 03:37:15 you make decent $ on the ads? May 29 03:37:23 all generalizations are false May 29 03:37:28 Tibfib: What's the most downloaded paid application? May 29 03:37:42 i dunno if thats true haeffb_pre May 29 03:37:44 reality9110: check hot apps. May 29 03:38:06 Yes, I know. But it doesn't give the number of downloads. May 29 03:38:10 the conclusion was that the app cat has some bugs, wrote to palm several times, and finally after about 2 months they may help the app out May 29 03:38:24 I'm just saying the ad-supported app model doesn't work for all apps. For an app like radio time, it is perfect. May 29 03:38:33 Yeah May 29 03:38:39 For other apps, not so much May 29 03:39:06 yeah reality9110, you still killing it with ad revenue? May 29 03:39:15 Of course. May 29 03:39:27 awesome, share the wealth May 29 03:39:28 lol May 29 03:39:36 I am...with RadioTime. May 29 03:39:42 cool May 29 03:40:12 It's around $600-$1000 a day May 29 03:40:18 lol May 29 03:40:22 awesome May 29 03:40:41 cool May 29 03:40:48 It'll be a lot higher when the Android version gets switched from paid to ad supported. May 29 03:40:57 have 4 apps, and have make $750 since january May 29 03:41:22 Money is money May 29 03:41:26 yeah May 29 03:41:29 true May 29 03:41:46 First few months were slow as I was getting everything going. May 29 03:41:58 First month was only like $1000 total May 29 03:42:05 yes but a lot of money is a lot of money... >.< May 29 03:42:13 I kept telling the boss man... "Just wait...trust me on this." May 29 03:42:17 radiotime doesn't have one of the major radio stations in tampa fl May 29 03:42:18 reality9110: ur serious? May 29 03:42:29 BigBiff: Yes May 29 03:42:33 TheSavaLord: Which one? May 29 03:42:55 97.9 aka 98 rock May 29 03:43:07 radiotime doesn't have the station I want May 29 03:43:18 TheSavaLord: Clear Channel station. May 29 03:43:37 TheSavaLord: We have a stream for it, but Clear Channel won't let us stream it to mobile devices because of licensing. May 29 03:43:43 yeah probably legal issues May 29 03:43:56 that sucks May 29 03:44:05 It's not like they're playing anything that isn't on 10000 other similar stations. May 29 03:44:12 haeffb_pre: Which one? May 29 03:44:36 whb810 kansas city May 29 03:44:51 wma stream May 29 03:44:51 clear channel is a bunch of money grubbing misfits May 29 03:45:33 who does slacker May 29 03:45:58 Yeah, damn WMA streams are a pisser May 29 03:46:30 * haeffb_pre trying to decide whether to keep these nav arrows on my notification dashboard May 29 03:47:23 they take a lot of space May 29 03:47:44 haeffb_pre: you have a screenshot? May 29 03:47:45 haeffb: pic? May 29 03:48:24 slacker doesn't have a power metal catagory May 29 03:48:38 hi OIL May 29 03:48:56 SavaLord: I'll actually be in Tampa this coming month May 29 03:49:13 cool lived here all my life May 29 03:49:34 http://img155.imageshack.us/i/capturevu.png/ May 29 03:49:47 I'll hopefully be signing my papers for my professorship over at Moffitt May 29 03:49:51 that is a _lot_ of space May 29 03:50:03 we do have 2 of the most outspoken DJs May 29 03:50:08 do submenus work in dashboards? May 29 03:50:18 haeffb_pre: looks good keep them May 29 03:50:41 have to be big enuf to tap May 29 03:50:42 Bubba and Cowhead lol May 29 03:51:03 Tibfib: good ? May 29 03:51:15 haeffb: You need better arrows though May 29 03:51:25 haeffb: what reality9110 said. otherwise it is good May 29 03:51:31 well, yeah May 29 03:51:41 * Tibfib will prolly implement something similar for his chat notifications May 29 03:52:15 yeah better arrows May 29 03:52:17 those May 29 03:52:29 What the hell is Party metal May 29 03:52:41 are just > stretched out May 29 03:52:53 haeffb_pre: Use photoshop and select an arrow from the custom shapes thing May 29 03:53:11 no have ps May 29 03:53:18 Download it May 29 03:53:27 It has a free trial May 29 03:53:49 and it's like 500GB May 29 03:53:52 who ever does Slacker need to learn about catagories May 29 03:53:55 No it's not May 29 03:54:24 ps is pretty big... May 29 03:54:37 35.2 mb May 29 03:54:48 * haeffb_pre exaggerates sometimes May 29 03:54:54 Just a little. May 29 03:55:06 haeffb_pre: unless u move up the arrow in a 85% transparentcy in between the + and reload botton May 29 03:55:17 arrow = arrowa May 29 03:55:21 arrows May 29 03:55:31 Wait... 329 mb May 29 03:55:37 Still, worth it. May 29 03:55:43 have paint.net May 29 03:55:45 I wouldn't dld on ur tethered PrimerFender ;-) May 29 03:55:56 haeffb: you could use the line tool in paint.net May 29 03:56:04 primer fender? May 29 03:56:13 wtf May 29 03:56:26 I could do all kind o' things in paint.net May 29 03:56:42 lol May 29 03:57:32 wow irc tough on a battery May 29 03:57:54 have the lag meter on May 29 03:58:01 but the real question is whether they're worth the space May 29 03:58:10 yes May 29 03:58:18 Question for the app developers in here: would any of you find app. analytics (like flurry) useful in webos? I am considering doing something in that realm. May 29 04:00:19 tap arrows cycle through task, tap icon open app, tap task open to task edit May 29 04:00:25 bsiegel: like google analytics? May 29 04:01:52 LoneStar99: of a sort, but for tracking application use - stability, time in session, feature use, system profile, performance counters, exception reporting, etc May 29 04:03:46 bsiegel: wait a bit, I think we'll have a big announcement soon about something along those lines. May 29 04:04:02 bsiegel: yeah it would be cool May 29 04:05:16 Roy-Pre101: My company makes a product for tracking these sorts of things in .NET apps (we're integrated with CodePlex, for example, to provide app. analytics to open source projects hosted there). I am considering using some free time to make a webos API. May 29 04:05:37 Go for it, then. Sounds useful to me. May 29 04:06:23 I'm doing preliminary api planning here, comments are welcome: http://bitbucket.org/bsiegel/ri-webos/wiki/Home May 29 04:06:36 Anyonegot a second May 29 04:06:39 urp. May 29 04:06:53 1 lol May 29 04:06:58 sure, whatcha need? May 29 04:07:35 can someone visit webos101.com (ignore the main page that's in a state of flux), visit your user preferences and select the GuMax skin and see if you like it better than default. May 29 04:08:22 ok May 29 04:08:36 going to delete that colored table. It's incomplete and Jen can recover it from the history. May 29 04:08:59 * rwhitby looks at bsiegel's page, and realises that I know nothing about anything he is talking about on that page :) May 29 04:09:43 bsiegel: got a primer on "Runtime Intelligence" ? May 29 04:10:58 my opinion is this, some good knowledge in webos development will be bought by HP May 29 04:11:42 rwhitby: you "tag" functional areas of your code with different types of tags to get visibility into how it is being used May 29 04:11:47 for example what rwhitby is doing is a canidate for such a by May 29 04:11:51 rwhitby: sure, technical or conceptual? May 29 04:11:51 by = buy May 29 04:11:54 you mean from the homebrew May 29 04:12:24 bsiegel: Looks very interesting May 29 04:12:24 LoneStar99: what are HP going to buy from me? May 29 04:13:04 bsiegel: that one sentence was enough, thanks. May 29 04:14:06 rwhitby: perhaps, your group is what made Palm to release a PDK May 29 04:14:12 you can see some screenshots of how that data is surfaced at the bottom of this page: http://runtimeintelligence.codeplex.com (ignore the Visual Studio stuff unless you care :p ) May 29 04:14:55 LoneStar99: I have no illusions about the miniscule place of homebrew in Palm's marketing and engineering plans. May 29 04:15:34 They love homebrew, but very few decisions are made as a response to homebrew unless it was easy to do it that way anyway. May 29 04:16:09 (At least that how it seems from the outside, the reality could be different of course) May 29 04:16:24 Roy-Pre101: I think it's a bit better than the default. May 29 04:16:29 rwhitby: it is not about what is about there it is about the knowledge that is there May 29 04:16:40 lol @palm is following the fake bp pr account May 29 04:16:49 at least they don't have it closed like apple May 29 04:17:38 rwhitby: you group has some great knowledge that is all i can say May 29 04:17:40 TheSavaLord: right, but that was a decision made months before webos-internals was started - a strategic direction that was already in place, not a response to homebrew. May 29 04:18:08 bsiegel: Thanks, I think it might work. And it leaves the sides free to add some images or something. May 29 04:18:27 Usually I don't like width limited layouts. May 29 04:18:29 TheSavaLord: and if that strategic decision had been made differently by Palm (or if it changes in the future), then WebOS Internals would probably cease to exist May 29 04:19:13 the way I see it is internals is a part of homebrew but just a smal part May 29 04:19:25 yep May 29 04:19:49 there are almost 1000 homebrew apps not done by webos internals :) May 29 04:20:08 rwhitby: But how many are distributed through Preware? May 29 04:20:25 And how many were made before Palm opened up the App Catalog and the Beta/Web feeds? May 29 04:20:31 1000s May 29 04:20:44 the way I see is that BP is not at fault wholly , it is all the companies that do everything the same and have no answers to the same problem. May 29 04:21:16 Roy-Pre101: the answer to both questions is "most of them" May 29 04:21:24 LoneStar99: you win the non sequitur award. May 29 04:21:44 well webos quick install is probably the most used and it's not done by Internals May 29 04:21:55 rwhitby: have you guys thought about when you are going to introduce a paid app/patch/theme model to preware? May 29 04:22:37 Roy-Pre101: thanks, have the BP feed showing, that is why May 29 04:22:50 err... hmm. Forgot about the stupid dev agreement language. May 29 04:23:00 You can't sell a webos app outside the catalog May 29 04:23:35 Tibfib: payment open up a whole can of worms that I'm not interest in getting into, unless it can guarantee me at least 6 figures of return ;) May 29 04:23:44 TheSavaLord: I would dispute that. WOSQI is mainly a way to install Preware. Nothing against WOSQI but I don't like to have to use the PC to install stuff. May 29 04:24:21 Speaking of which, are we going to get a stand-alone installer for Preware again? May 29 04:24:38 true but you still need to use it to install preware the first time May 29 04:24:40 rwhitby: heh, fair enough May 29 04:24:49 TheSavaLord: actually, we have web server logs which show that installs through WOSQI are about 1/10th the volume of installs through Preware May 29 04:25:01 Roy-Pre101: installers for 1.1.0 are up now May 29 04:25:05 Roy-Pre101: want to test them for us? May 29 04:25:49 rwhitby: Hmm, maybe! I already have it installed but I will uninstall to test, for sure. May 29 04:25:51 pc installers May 29 04:26:03 TheSavaLord: and you don't need WOSQI to install Preware. You can use exclusively official Palm tools to install Preware now. May 29 04:26:31 Install the SDK, run palm-install on the preware ipkg, done. May 29 04:26:43 I would test it if I can install from the pre May 29 04:27:12 If the novacom drivers were released by Palm in a form that was redistributable, installing Preware could be made a million times easier. May 29 04:27:36 IIRC I thought they were being Open sourced? May 29 04:27:38 I have no PC at home May 29 04:28:34 TheSavaLord: there is, and will never be, a way to install Preware over the air from a virgin webOS device. To enable such would be a security vulnerabilty and liability that Palm would plug immediately (as they did previously with the email install vulnerability) May 29 04:29:03 ok May 29 04:29:45 Palm's security model separates devices into two groups: 1) Those that have never had developer mode activated and 2) those that have developer mode and side-loading of apps May 29 04:29:56 as it should be May 29 04:30:10 OK, is webos101.com switched to the new theme? please flush cache. May 29 04:30:14 There is a bright line of security between the two groups which can never be crossed by a pure OTA operation May 29 04:30:53 is it ok that I tend to keep my pre in developer mode May 29 04:31:26 TheSavaLord: Yes. May 29 04:31:30 TheSavaLord: yes, it allows me to hear your conversations May 29 04:31:45 ;-0 May 29 04:31:51 cool May 29 04:32:06 and allows me to control your device remotely May 29 04:32:12 you like the phonesex I have lol May 29 04:33:04 Hmm, the new theme disables my wiki editing browser plugin. May 29 04:33:50 I may change the theme back until I understand more about how to style it.

HP was a joke back in the day, but now they are more powerful than any computer company May 29 05:23:56 paid 299 for the ipod back then May 29 05:24:12 do not regret giving it away May 29 05:24:24 and how much they cost now May 29 05:24:31 if it wasn't for the zune it would have still cost 400 May 29 05:24:51 they are giving them free if you buy a mac May 29 05:24:57 as soon as MS announced zune prices they dropped the price May 29 05:25:14 i think zune is kinda died May 29 05:25:25 yea May 29 05:25:43 MS is always late to the game May 29 05:25:59 but why would I want a mac May 29 05:26:17 it's shiny May 29 05:26:27 kinda, but MS has so many resourses to be late and still kill any market May 29 05:26:48 didn;t work with zune May 29 05:26:52 I would build my own custom shiny system May 29 05:27:04 the first xbox lost a ton of money May 29 05:27:24 the only 2 companies that keep MS awake are Google and Apple May 29 05:27:38 and Oracle May 29 05:28:09 at one time IBM May 29 05:28:41 But then again IBM is huge May 29 05:28:57 I remember when apple competed with atari and commodore May 29 05:29:14 IBM has a battle with Oracle May 29 05:29:22 and atari and commodore had better systems May 29 05:29:33 yeah May 29 05:30:49 I mis my MegaSTe and I wanted a Falcon/030 so bad. May 29 05:32:07 they still sell on ebay for a pretty penny May 29 05:32:30 how much? May 29 05:32:35 mega stes go for like 400 and falcons go for like 600 May 29 05:32:49 when they are on May 29 05:33:09 damn May 29 05:34:00 yeah my boss got a falcon in a storage auction and it went for a pretty penny May 29 05:34:22 palm used to own the mobile market May 29 05:34:52 palm killed BeOS May 29 05:35:15 they bought beos May 29 05:35:40 they bought it then dismantled it May 29 05:36:16 but that was when they were under 3com May 29 05:36:42 i think beos is webos May 29 05:36:59 but for a mobile May 29 05:37:09 yeah I see simularities May 29 05:37:20 it is for sure May 29 05:37:28 multitasking May 29 05:38:51 just look at the launcer dop menu and then the top bar menu May 29 05:39:00 drop menu May 29 05:39:18 and apps drop menu May 29 05:42:23 are they beos? May 29 05:43:29 back in the day the most brilliant computers where made by Gateway May 29 05:45:31 TheSavaLord: some months ago had an interview with some folks, was flown in. at the end was told that my skills where not up to par. May 29 05:45:35 hi all! May 29 05:46:19 hi jen May 29 05:46:32 ur interviewing skills May 29 05:46:53 It was a very confusing time in my life, but was not not up 2 par May 29 05:48:13 never was scared, but was but in a bad situation May 29 05:48:35 it happens May 29 05:48:39 huh LoneStar99 maybe this conversation should be over PM May 29 05:49:08 the conversation is over lost talent May 29 05:49:24 and great businesses May 29 05:49:41 I almost got into CADD May 29 05:50:36 i know what cad is but but is cadd? May 29 05:51:24 same long form. computer aided drafting & design May 29 05:51:55 but what is the added D May 29 05:52:04 design May 29 05:53:03 there is a difference in drafting and design May 29 05:53:04 Computer Aided Design + more Design May 29 05:53:19 drafting and design May 29 05:54:27 it is what it is if you can draft you can design May 29 05:55:02 some people can draft but not design May 29 05:55:23 designers are the ones that show up and fix issues May 29 05:56:11 the drafters have design in their mind May 29 05:56:11 more or less designers can draft but drafters can't design May 29 05:56:56 there are just different levels May 29 05:57:30 some can be better at fixing drafts then actually doing the draft itself May 29 05:58:22 yeah agreed, but one that sees the initial design can see the art May 29 06:00:00 read that the brilliant man that made WebOS left Palm, and he went to work for Google May 29 06:00:58 just like a week ago May 29 06:01:07 did he only do the calendar May 29 06:01:55 he was one of the main dudes that built it May 29 06:01:57 TheSavaLord: I don't think so. He was pres of user interface or something liek that May 29 06:02:26 give me 5 minutes May 29 06:02:40 lonestar back when it was more or les started most people used the acronym cadd May 29 06:04:43 http://uoid.me/cnet13 May 29 06:05:48 the way i see it google is now scared that HP bought Palm, and they need trade secrets May 29 06:06:01 Yay secrets! May 29 06:06:24 doesn't nda come into effect May 29 06:06:34 not sure May 29 06:06:36 Yup May 29 06:06:39 and non compete clauses May 29 06:06:43 Until $ comes into effect May 29 06:06:49 NDA is all crap May 29 06:07:43 I have seen where people left Ms. or apple and went to another company and get sued May 29 06:08:16 yeah, they do do, but who are you suing? May 29 06:09:04 the person who left and the company who lured them away May 29 06:09:13 webos is the mobile system out there May 29 06:10:23 webos is the best operating system out there and they are scared May 29 06:11:27 or they just want a better UI May 29 06:14:26 they want what they can get May 29 06:18:26 well I am heading to bed goodnight May 29 06:26:42 JenP: thank for everything, but at the end we all lost You all never gave me a chance May 29 06:32:30 Jenp: we wil never be friends and I agree.and just the way life goes. May 29 07:36:39 morning May 29 08:11:40 Street Fighter II running, full screen, on Palm Pre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTPk6_H_IBw May 29 08:44:14 Someone who can give som button help? May 29 09:23:29 How do i get blackbuttons? And not the. std grey? not talking about changeing color but class? May 29 12:41:23 hey haeffb u up yet? May 29 12:55:32 whats up? May 29 13:12:43 haeffb: was just saying hello. going boating this weekend? May 29 13:14:46 soon as the wife gets up. May 29 13:14:54 which could be hours... :) May 29 13:32:46 well have fun out there. not a good weather day here for boating but maybe for tomorrow May 29 13:34:05 mid-80. slight breeze. beautiful day in MO May 29 13:37:02 swisstomcat: ping May 29 14:30:43 http://pastebin.com/rWin8KtS I keep getting that error message now and it just randomly started happening. The assistant IS defined in the sources.json file. Anyone have any ideas as to fixing this? It's kind of annoying that it just started happening out of the blue. May 29 14:33:30 Probably caused by a typo somewhere in the assistant.js that prevents the parser from making it thru May 29 14:39:19 hmm May 29 15:02:43 Hey haeffb, I isolated the problem to be in this chunk of code: http://pastebin.com/cYWmZn68 May 29 15:02:51 I can't find anything wrong, can you look please? May 29 15:05:29 comma at the end of line 21 May 29 15:05:41 http://www.jslint.com May 29 15:05:48 oh wow May 29 15:05:56 such a simple thing May 29 15:05:56 lol May 29 15:05:58 thanks May 29 15:06:13 are us using eclipse? May 29 15:06:13 I know how that caused problems May 29 15:06:20 It's because I had code after that comma and I deleted it May 29 15:06:22 no, ares May 29 15:06:42 ok. jslint can be used to find (all kinds of) errrors in code. May 29 15:07:13 oh wow May 29 15:07:17 I never knew what that button did in ares May 29 15:07:25 lol I re-added the comma and it found it perfect :D May 29 15:07:27 Thanks! May 29 15:49:19 guys; how can I change the color of a button May 29 15:50:14 CSS & images May 29 15:52:43 Any example out there? May 29 15:53:22 you might try http://webos101.com May 29 15:54:11 otherwise look at uiwidgets & stylematters sample apps and the stylesheets & images directory in the SDK May 29 15:56:38 is this.controller.stageController.topScene() right for calling in a scene-assistant in a multi-stage app? May 29 15:58:02 I need to see what assistant is currently open when a function gets called. May 29 15:59:07 thnx May 29 15:59:39 photon70: also check out w3schools.com they've got stuff on the DOM which is most likely what you need May 29 16:00:30 activeScene() ? May 29 16:01:28 I can't get either of em to show up in the logs so I don't know if they are even being called. May 29 16:02:19 What would it return? "MainAssistant" and such? May 29 16:02:31 well.... May 29 16:02:33 or just the scene name. May 29 16:02:46 is this.controller defined when you call it? May 29 16:03:29 you might need to go the Mojo.Controller.getAppController()... route May 29 16:04:02 yeah, it's called in a scene assistant. I have the function set to interval in one scene and I need to see what scene assistant the function goes off in to change what happens in the function May 29 16:04:21 haeffb: but it's a stage controller function? May 29 16:04:49 this.sceneName ? May 29 16:04:59 so add getStageController() to getAppController()? May 29 16:05:27 this.controller.stageController.activeScene().sceneName May 29 16:05:39 I've used that successfully May 29 16:05:48 but this.sceneName may give the same thing. May 29 16:07:29 sceneName comes up undefined May 29 16:07:57 using it in the setup of my app. May 29 16:08:04 (just to test it) May 29 16:08:10 setup of my SCENE May 29 16:25:23 this.controller.get(this.largeSpinner1).mojo.stop(); Is that the right way to stop a large spinner using ares? May 29 16:30:08 nvm found the problem May 29 17:17:24 Does anyone know how to make a row highlight on top in ares? I can't find it anywhere May 29 17:20:34 the "rowTapHighlight" setting isn't working May 29 17:50:02 haeffb: if TibFib comes back, I think it's Mojo.Controller.getAppController().getActiveStageController().activeScene() May 29 20:31:03 ping May 29 20:34:17 pong? May 29 20:36:10 I've searched on google and the sample code and I can't find the answer. How can I get the value (or position) of an item in a list when a user taps on it. I already have the on tap event but I just can't find out how to get the data using ares. May 29 20:41:36 Ugh, gotta run. See you guys later May 29 20:43:18 twbbas: It's in the event. May 29 20:43:27 See the list sample on webos101.com May 29 20:43:34 See the list sample on webos101.com/List May 29 20:44:02 sugardave: Check out the new theme I installed on webos101.com (have to go to preferences and preview gumax). May 29 20:48:18 sugardave: hey, let me know if you still need help getting the pdk to work on linux May 29 20:48:48 Roy-Pre101: will do May 29 20:49:01 zsoc: absolutely going to need help on that...but today is bad for me :D May 29 20:49:18 sugardave: ok, it's actually two simple steps if you're just trying to compile your own stuff. widk isn't even necessary :) May 29 20:50:12 that's more like it....then I can poke around with the actual learning of the language May 29 20:50:52 the language? C in general? Or SDL and PDL apis? May 29 20:51:21 C, how to write with libraries, etc....I'm a total n00b May 29 20:51:37 like completely new May 29 20:51:59 I may have written a hello world in c++ before, but it's been so long I can't remember it May 29 20:52:14 adventurous May 29 20:52:20 indeed :D May 29 20:53:02 so basically I just need to know how to write some code and compile it and how to run it on the emu/phone May 29 20:53:22 Roy-Pre101: looking really nice May 29 20:54:37 it may be my desktop settings, but the font size in blocks is a little small May 29 20:54:45 I guess I should make a 'PDK + SDL = PDK Hello World in Linux' tutorial May 29 20:54:58 zsoc: that would be awesome May 29 20:58:03 sounds like a fun saturday evening May 29 21:51:25 * Tibfib is getting excited. Mojo Messenger is just about ready for beta testing May 29 21:51:54 Tibfib: is it jabber based? May 29 21:51:55 anyone want to join in? May 29 21:52:01 Tibfib: yeah toss it this way May 29 21:52:04 zsoc: nope, my own magic mixture May 29 21:52:08 cool May 29 21:53:53 looking for a way to add the x-mojo-tap-highlight="momentary" effect to arbitrary html elements... May 29 21:54:44 jettero: I don't think you can. But you can add similar effects with just html May 29 21:55:28 isn't there some magic with the "selected" class? May 29 21:56:31 like when you click on an element, the "selected" class is added to it. May 29 21:56:39 click = tap May 29 21:58:35 tapping adds selected to the tapped element? May 29 21:58:53 I was goign to add a prototype observe and toggleClass, but I was hoping for a way to make mojo do it for me May 29 21:59:06 jettero: that's what I heard. Not sure if its true. May 29 21:59:40 I know that's how (some) widgets work. I don't know if it happens for all elements May 29 21:59:41 I'm sure if I spend 5 hours source diving I could figure out how they attach their x-mojo-tap-highlight effects and emulate/simulate it May 29 22:00:02 well, it's not a widget... it's a
  • from some web page slurped over ajax May 29 22:00:19 by the time it gets shown, mojo nolonger cares about widgets at all May 29 22:00:19 you could use the palm inspector to see the html and if the .selected class is added May 29 22:00:31 what is the palm inspector? May 29 22:00:38 check the sdk May 29 22:00:42 hrm May 29 22:00:47 lets you look at html + css of your app May 29 22:03:36 coolness.. I gota get that working. Presently it dies on missing libenchant.so.1, even though it's there. Seems it's for the wrong elf class May 29 22:03:40 pfft, recompiling May 29 22:06:01 in an arch dep environment like ubuntu, should I really end up with the wrong elf class? May 29 22:06:08 like ever? May 29 22:07:52 oic, palm-inspector is mad because *it* is 32 bit and my libenchant is 64bit May 29 22:07:58 read that backwards May 29 22:08:04 ok, palm-inspector is out May 29 22:10:38 morning May 29 22:49:35 hi there. anyone here who has experience with scroller in horizontal-snap mode in ares? May 29 22:53:06 the horizontal scrolling works fine. i just cannot get the snapping work. any ideas? May 29 22:57:26 * BigBiff has never used ares May 29 22:59:59 and no idea how i can set the value of "snapElements"? must be very similar even without ares May 29 23:01:18 I have May 29 23:01:25 Except for the ares thing May 29 23:01:35 I've never used it because it completely jacks up my code. May 29 23:01:56 yeah. i regret it already May 29 23:02:20 And Ares code is much different from just going at it alone May 29 23:02:20 there is that sample code http://almaer.com/blog/touching-horizontalscroll May 29 23:02:20 I've only used scrollTo(x,y) May 29 23:02:41 y=event.down.y May 29 23:03:05 i dont understand this part May 29 23:03:06 snapElements: { x: $$('.scrollerItem') } May 29 23:03:32 amiroo: It means that it's using the items that have the class scrollerItem May 29 23:04:24 So, say you have several different divs. Div1, Div2, Div3 that all contain differnet information. May 29 23:04:39 hmmm. that's what i thought. but i cannot use just { x: $$('.scrollerItem') } in "snapElements" in ares. strange May 29 23:04:45 If you set the class on each to be scrollerItem, then it will use those divs as snap elements. May 29 23:05:15 Welp, more reason not to use Ares then. May 29 23:05:21 ok. i understand. i guess in ares it must be solved somehow else May 29 23:05:30 haha thats right May 29 23:36:27 anyone develop for other platforms? May 29 23:36:42 that would be interested in working together on a Mojo Messenger client May 29 23:37:41 Tibfib: Android May 29 23:37:57 Of course... May 29 23:38:38 you'd be intersted, or of course you develop for android? May 29 23:38:51 Of course I develop for Android May 29 23:39:23 What type of mojo messenger are you talking about? May 29 23:39:27 I'm having a problem installing the messaging patches May 29 23:39:30 my upcoming chat application May 29 23:39:53 It complains about a patch rejectin failure and I was wondering about how to restore it to the original file without having to wipe the device. May 29 23:39:55 What does it do that is substantially different than the existing messenger? May 29 23:40:27 bhuey: You can use WebOS Quick Install to revert a patch May 29 23:40:40 how ? May 29 23:40:43 uninstall it ? May 29 23:40:58 I do that but it's still kind of hosed out May 29 23:41:00 planned: virtual keyboard, file transfer, group chat, read confirmation, animated emoticons May 29 23:41:40 reality9110: I removed all patcheso on my device as well and did an emergency patch recovery May 29 23:41:53 bhuey: Then you'd be back to the original state May 29 23:42:12 the 2.4 messaging patches are still having a problem installing May 29 23:42:22 Tibfib: Doesn't sound like it would be worth a droid client because there's already several that do that. May 29 23:42:49 also preware isn't happy on this device any more May 29 23:42:50 reality9110: the point is that it would be multi-platform May 29 23:43:20 You should try to develop it in phonegap then May 29 23:43:36 Then, you'll have your cross platform May 29 23:43:37 actually the restart might have helped May 29 23:43:52 Tis a good idea. Might happen May 29 23:44:18 ok, I get this nasty message about preware not being able to download via wget or something May 29 23:44:30 is there a problem with the repository today ? May 29 23:45:25 bhuey: ask in internals May 29 23:47:49 hi all May 29 23:48:39 Hey Jen May 29 23:48:47 hi doc! May 29 23:49:42 Arrrgh. I hate this new audio implementation. May 29 23:49:55 what's it doing different? May 29 23:50:42 It's not acting how it's supposed to act May 29 23:53:33 Getting closer... May 29 23:54:39 oh that's good May 29 23:55:35 Got it. May 29 23:57:44 Maybe not. New problems. May 30 00:54:17 LoneStar99 and swisstomcat are "featured apps" May 30 00:58:36 good for them May 30 00:58:41 hi haeffb!
