**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jun 01 02:59:57 2010 Jun 01 03:50:24 So i've got a dilemma. I have a global refresh function that needs to go off every XX seconds. I need the handler function to go with the new content to be different with every scene. How should I do it? Global function in app-assistant? then delegate to scene assistant the function? Jun 01 03:53:07 Anyone know how to pass parameters with delegateToSceneAssistant()? Jun 01 03:55:17 nvm, think I found it. Jun 01 04:23:18 Crap, REALLY? Jun 01 04:23:46 how could I set an interval in app-assistant without going through the palm alarm system? Jun 01 04:23:57 can't do it with window... Jun 01 04:24:16 * Tibfib should stop trying to get responses, everyone is dead. Jun 01 04:24:40 * halfhalo is watching tv Jun 01 04:26:51 the palm alarm system seems overkill for a function running every 1-60 seconds Jun 01 04:43:40 Tibfib, timeout Jun 01 04:44:24 egaudet: what do you mean? Jun 01 04:44:29 setTimeout Jun 01 04:44:35 in the handler just set it again Jun 01 04:44:48 window.setInterval doesn't work in app-assistnat Jun 01 04:44:50 I don Jun 01 04:44:55 but setTimeout does Jun 01 04:45:01 Oh really> Jun 01 04:45:09 that's _odd_ Jun 01 04:45:09 I'm pretty sure yeah Jun 01 04:45:19 Is your app multi-stage? Jun 01 04:45:40 Err duh it is if it has app-assistant... testing it now. Jun 01 04:45:49 I did it when testing wirc stuff, which has noWindow: true Jun 01 04:46:00 and you get an error when trying to use setInterval Jun 01 04:46:03 but setTimeout worked fine Jun 01 04:47:39 weird crap. Jun 01 04:47:53 it works though, thanks. You saved me a lot of effort Jun 01 04:48:01 np Jun 01 06:08:32 whoa!!! when did my forum color change! I feel special now :D Jun 01 06:09:54 grats? Jun 01 06:10:44 adgjl Jun 01 06:10:48 well I thought it was cool... Jun 01 06:11:29 I have a cool color for my notebookreview forum username. bright green. makes me happy Jun 01 06:12:47 I want an orange username Jun 01 06:14:10 ninja Jun 01 06:14:26 wait a sec. It says I've been "special" since July... :O Jun 01 06:14:37 ha Jun 01 06:15:02 I didn't know that. it seems less cool now :/ Jun 01 06:15:09 lol Jun 01 06:15:41 I has nbr to call home for forums. you should join it Jun 01 06:16:10 * Tibfib has absolutely no idea what that means. Jun 01 06:16:22 notebookreview Jun 01 06:16:32 big notebook site Jun 01 06:16:38 with forums Jun 01 06:17:51 oh. I understand now. It's definitely past my bedtime. It Jun 01 06:18:05 it is taking me a while to get things :/ Jun 01 06:18:06 I will give you a cookie if you guess my nbr username Jun 01 06:18:29 halfhalo! Jun 01 06:18:38 nope Jun 01 06:18:43 not anymore Jun 01 06:19:03 Patrick Jun 01 06:19:06 although I thought I banned that name so noone took it Jun 01 06:19:10 ah damn Jun 01 06:19:30 are you a mod? Jun 01 06:19:39 supermod Jun 01 06:19:42 heh Jun 01 06:19:57 tis what I do Jun 01 06:20:05 tis awesome forums Jun 01 06:20:17 *shameless plug* Jun 01 06:23:48 I'll check em out when I'm in the market for a new lappy Jun 01 06:24:18 you better Jun 01 06:25:42 O.o http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/qualcomm-ships-first-dual-core-snapdragon-chipsets-clocking-1-2g/ Jun 01 06:26:07 lulz Jun 01 06:26:12 sleep time nao Jun 01 07:05:42 Good morning Jun 01 07:07:51 good night Jun 01 07:30:54 I need some kind of "timer" like in . NET where i can have a event triggered every fx. 10 sec. How is that possible? Jun 01 09:21:06 Is it possible to put a label on top of an image? Jun 01 10:00:11 HotDP, yes Jun 01 10:01:28 how :) when i do it in Ares i can't see it. like it is "behind" the image Jun 01 10:32:57 warpdesign_ you there? Jun 01 12:33:59 HotDP, yep Jun 01 12:36:25 warpdesign_ , great. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong? Got a panal with and image, and a label there. But when i look at the "level" layout i seems that they are on same "level" Jun 01 12:42:26 i don't wonna use a panel with background image... Jun 01 12:43:21 can you change the z-index in ares? Jun 01 12:43:59 if not, change the css class and change the z-index for the class Jun 01 12:47:57 I dont see the Z-index anywhere in Ares? can that be right? Jun 01 12:49:51 what about CSS class for the label? Jun 01 12:50:11 I can try to make one, havent used CSS yet in Ares Jun 01 12:50:21 But if is the only way guess i have to do it Jun 01 12:51:13 I have to add a css, reference to it in index html and add it on the widget right? Jun 01 12:52:11 does ares not include a .css file for your app? Jun 01 12:52:30 but_ right Jun 01 12:55:12 I don' think so ? :S I would like it was a property just like color and other stuff.. think its strange Jun 01 13:01:47 "Plane specifies what z-axis plane a widget or panel is on, similar to z-index in CSS. This is used to place specified widgets or panels in the foreground, while other widgets scroll behind, for example." Jun 01 13:05:15 So i guess i use Plane.. if they have keeped the "z-index" name i would have known it Jun 01 13:07:56 I need some kind of "timer" like in . NET where i can have a event triggered every fx. 10 sec. How is that possible? Jun 01 13:17:23 setInterval() or setTimeout() Jun 01 13:18:48 lol Jun 01 13:18:59 i did not know it was so easy, thanks Jun 01 13:51:03 morning Jun 01 13:51:12 Hello HattCzech Jun 01 14:43:58 HotDP: You have to manually create a stylesheet in Ares and add it to the index.html. Jun 01 14:44:04 Not sure why they don't make one for you. Jun 01 15:06:14 Roy-Pre101 , i found this in documentation: "Plane specifies what z-axis plane a widget or panel is on, similar to z-index in CSS. This is used to place specified widgets or panels in the foreground, while other widgets scroll behind, for example." Jun 01 16:15:42 Howdy chuqui! Jun 01 16:15:46 morning! Jun 01 16:20:56 would it be bad practices to start using 10+ cookies in my app? Jun 01 16:21:23 Probably. What are the cookies for. Jun 01 16:21:25 ?* Jun 01 16:22:27 I need a way to keep track of a number for each room in my chat app Jun 01 16:22:36 my solution just doesn't seem to be working. Jun 01 16:23:04 Well, if it works... Jun 01 16:23:07 * Megatherium shrugs. Jun 01 16:23:39 I'll have to get it to work without cookies later. Jun 01 16:23:52 oh well. Why do today what you can do tomorrow right? Jun 01 16:24:05 Indeed. Jun 01 16:30:14 morning everyone Jun 01 16:30:40 * Megatherium mumbles something about needing more coffee. Jun 01 16:36:34 So this seems like a stupid question but... if all I want to do is display a sentence in the middle of the screen (vertically), how do I do that? Jun 01 16:36:46 I can center it just fine horizontally but vertically doesn't work so well. Jun 01 16:38:36 vertical-align: middle ? Jun 01 16:39:12 yeah that should be it. http://w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_vertical-align.asp Jun 01 16:39:58 Not quite. :P Jun 01 16:40:23 The problem is that it aligns the text to the middle of its container but setting the container's height to 100% doesn't actuall ymake it extend to the entire screen. Jun 01 16:40:54 try setting the height to this.controller.window.innerHeight in javascript Jun 01 16:41:33 anyone know the shortcut for screenshot on the device? Jun 01 16:41:33 100% depends on the position as well Jun 01 16:41:46 100% relative to a 48px height div is 48px Jun 01 16:41:58 Tibfib: Yeah that would probably work, but it seems depressing to me that you can't center something vertically any easier. Jun 01 16:42:19 position: fixed; height: 100% should span entire screen Jun 01 16:42:52 Hmm, let me try that. Jun 01 16:44:50 Hmm, the div has the full height, but I can't get the text to align middle in it anyways. :/ Jun 01 16:45:00
Test
Jun 01 16:45:52 vert-align seems to always prove problemmatic Jun 01 16:47:50 haeffb: curious to know about the butt - delish? Jun 01 16:48:17 if vertical-align won't work, throw a 50% margin on top of that text div Jun 01 16:48:36 does anyone have an itunes problem crashing palm sync? Jun 01 16:48:48 or try line-height Jun 01 16:49:23 i never 'sync' Jun 01 16:49:48 BigBiff: how do you get stuff out of your palm device? Jun 01 16:50:01 i dont :-P Jun 01 16:50:47 f-cking itunes automatically loads, killing my palm sync Jun 01 16:50:52 i do know that itunes gums up everything Jun 01 16:51:09 it's evil Jun 01 16:51:13 egaudet_work: Well, I can fake centering by putting a line-height that puts it roughly in the center. But that doesn't seem to be a sustainable method. :P Jun 01 16:51:19 Everything else doesn't work. Jun 01 16:51:31 rkcr: is the div in a list row? Jun 01 16:51:37 No. Jun 01 16:51:40 ahh Jun 01 16:53:10 Also, line-height only works if I have one line of text... :( Jun 01 16:53:18 (And I have two) Jun 01 16:53:26 doh Jun 01 16:53:29 Man, why is this so freaking hard. Jun 01 16:53:55 * BigBiff_ still has bruises on head from 'styling' simple things Jun 01 16:54:07 * BigBiff_ no likey css Jun 01 16:55:17 need to use "usb mode" if not itunes kills the pre driver Jun 01 16:56:08 just proves that steve jobs hates webos Jun 01 16:56:44 its a conspiracy Jun 01 16:57:42 yeah Jun 01 16:57:44 is there still a pre-supported itunes? Jun 01 16:57:59 'hacked' pre supported Jun 01 16:59:17 nope Jun 01 16:59:32 i guess they shut that down finally Jun 01 17:03:07 rkcr: display: table-cell Jun 01 17:03:34 BigBiff_: the USB foundation voted against Palm, since Palm was using Apple's unique ID, or something like that Jun 01 17:04:24 egaudet_work: Used how? Jun 01 17:05:16
Centered Text
Jun 01 17:05:38 Ah, but then I have to assume a certain height, don't I? Jun 01 17:05:48 I guess I would have to set the height via JS using that method. Jun 01 17:07:24 rkcr: well you can try the height: 100% but not sure if it will work Jun 01 17:07:57 vertical-align won't do anything unless it's a table-cell though (or it's an image for example and the text will be aligned around it) Jun 01 17:08:17 I see, thanks. Jun 01 17:10:38 * BigBiff_ sucks at pressure washing more than css Jun 01 17:10:52 how the hell do you not leave marks on the deck!?!? Jun 01 17:10:52 * Tibfib hates css Jun 01 17:11:09 i need to open up a pressure washing channel Jun 01 17:13:30 what is the best way to call the app catalog and one of my apps from a button in my demo app? Jun 01 17:13:47 I had a little text and a link that pulled it up, but I think a button would be better. Jun 01 17:14:08 can I just call the link from the button? Is there a quick an easy way to do that? Jun 01 17:14:21 use an image of the button and make it a link. Jun 01 17:14:50 However, I also want to call the link from a dialog box that gives them the choice to upgrade to the full version. Jun 01 17:15:13 good morning guys Jun 01 17:15:20 or, use a regular palm button and then call the app catalog app from it with the url of the app -- go look at the source for preware, Jun 01 17:15:31 preware does exactly what you want for palm apps. Jun 01 17:15:38 ah... yes. preware does that... Jun 01 17:15:57 morning ekpyr Jun 01 17:22:23 g'mornin lyht Jun 01 17:25:06 hey chuqui, are you here? Jun 01 17:25:16 nope. nbody here by that name Jun 01 17:25:25 oreary Jun 01 17:25:35 ol Jun 01 17:25:36 lol Jun 01 17:25:46 i just sent a rejection request for com.pascharllc.pickupsports Jun 01 17:25:57 would you please look into it, it seems like GPS didnt work well =-| Jun 01 17:26:28 ewww Jun 01 17:26:28 gps Jun 01 17:26:35 nyceane drop me an email. I'll forward it to the review team Jun 01 17:26:40 thanks Jun 01 17:28:37 just did Jun 01 17:30:28 thanks chuq, i pushed the app at 2am Jun 01 17:30:34 hopefully they didnt roll it in yet Jun 01 17:35:41 its one of those areas where i m scared of customer complaining =-| lol Jun 01 17:36:30 is it possible that GPS coordinate just gives undefined? Jun 01 17:36:40 the app works fine on emulator Jun 01 17:37:22 yeah, I think it is. Jun 01 17:37:46 I'll just let them enter it manually errrr... Jun 01 17:39:11 whats a good way to gurantee a gps coordinate? Jun 01 17:39:34 check the output? Jun 01 17:39:39 yeah. Jun 01 17:39:56 no, i mean out of getCurrentPosition Jun 01 17:40:05 responsetime : 5? Jun 01 17:40:27 sometimes the response can be slow. (I haven't worked much with teh GPS stuff. better to ask for details in the forums) Jun 01 17:40:53 (I need to do more programming and less answering developer's email...) Jun 01 17:40:54 heh.. I should play with it, but I haven't yet Jun 01 17:40:55 (ducking) Jun 01 17:41:48 * halfhalo_T400 throws a duck Jun 01 17:43:26 ok, its not using wireless tower for sure Jun 01 17:44:01 i m just wondering if palm returns the cell tower's location Jun 01 17:45:58 thanks chuq Jun 01 17:46:12 btw, I've gotten an interview about bunch of crappy apps that I made on palm and got into palm hot apps Jun 01 17:46:25 the purpose is to draw more attentions to developers into palm Jun 01 17:47:51 wabbit Jun 01 17:48:19 well, i m making a good app right now but the GPS don't work =-| Jun 01 17:48:32 i spent all my memorial day weekend on cranking this app, it has no ads Jun 01 17:48:41 I'm in class. and bored Jun 01 17:51:17 I need to start building the basis of superapp again Jun 01 17:51:44 halfhalo: you should email me your file uploading .js and .php files (removing database information of course) Jun 01 17:53:02 I learn by samples. Not great at figuring things out by myself (especially with the poor docs) Jun 01 17:53:15 hey guys, since I don't have a pre I can't test Jun 01 17:53:21 what do GPS coordinate send? Jun 01 17:53:34 when your gps is not available Jun 01 17:53:54 I would.. if I had em Jun 01 17:53:54 they were in an xampp setup on the hd that died Jun 01 17:55:42 can anybody help me to test my app? =-| Jun 01 17:56:34 ok thats cool. Anyone willing to share their .php file for using the download manager update function? Jun 01 17:58:37 hey chuqui, is there anyway i can update my web publish? Jun 01 17:58:52 I mean, i submitted into app catalog Jun 01 17:59:02 but now I can't update my web version anymore Jun 01 17:59:18 what's stopping you? error? Jun 01 17:59:29 no, i can't update it anymore Jun 01 18:00:04 the only option available for Distribution Method is App Catalog Jun 01 18:00:42 i just made a quickfix for accuracy = 2 and responseTime = 3 Jun 01 18:00:46 instead of both being 1 Jun 01 18:00:59 hmm. Jun 01 18:01:08 drop me an email with a screen shot. I'll have it looked at Jun 01 18:02:13 Rick_work: not that you care, but I found if I call open on the applicationManager, passing the link in the target parameter, it should work to open the app catalog on my app. Jun 01 18:02:47 yep, that should work. Jun 01 18:02:56 and I DO care, I am always trying to learn new things. Jun 01 18:03:54 well Jun 01 18:03:59 that was fun Jun 01 18:04:44 chuqui, just sent you email with screen shot Jun 01 18:08:01 thanks Jun 01 18:09:04 me wants js services! Jun 01 18:10:03 yw Jun 01 18:10:54 only thing stopping me from rewriting mah apps is knowing that I have to rewrite them with services anyways Jun 01 18:12:44 hi Jun 01 18:13:23 hello Jun 01 18:14:05 anyone knows what's the "PHYSICAL RINGER SWITCH" ? Jun 01 18:14:21 the.. physical switch? Jun 01 18:14:30 on top ofthe pre? Jun 01 18:14:38 well, don't have a pre, don't know Jun 01 18:14:47 but it seems it's supposed to turn off sound ? Jun 01 18:14:53 yup Jun 01 18:15:14 I guess it's not automatic: there's a way to know if it's turned on/off ? Jun 01 18:15:28 no idea Jun 01 18:15:37 cause users are complaining about the fact my app doesn't turn sound off when this switched is activated Jun 01 18:15:48 but I didn't even know there was such a switch Jun 01 18:21:47 warpdesign: All apps behave that way, AFAIK Jun 01 18:24:23 warpdesign: There is a vibrate only switch on the top of the pre. However, that switch is design to turn of the ringer, not the system sounds or music or anything else. Some apps like the camera watch the switch and go silent, but most dont. Jun 01 18:26:50 but it's very easy to watch it. Simply set an event listener on it and don't make noise when it's set. Jun 01 18:38:02 evening Jun 01 18:41:52 whoa, almost 10k of moo downloads in just 4 days Jun 01 18:43:24 nice, swisstomcat... is that because it's a featured app? :) Jun 01 18:43:29 probably Jun 01 18:43:54 that's why i want mine to be featured :/ Jun 01 18:44:28 don't know what i did to make it featured tho Jun 01 18:45:04 I think it is random. Jun 01 18:45:20 I think someone just goes Jun 01 18:45:27 "I like this one... lets make it featured." Jun 01 18:46:11 cool Jun 01 18:54:00 lyht: ok, thanks for the info ! Jun 01 19:18:51 anyone know if it's possible to mimic the page up/down gestures in a WebView at this point? Jun 01 19:22:23 ah just came across useLandscapePageUpDown method, hopefully that still works Jun 01 19:28:15 awesome, works great! Jun 01 19:28:30 later, folks! Jun 01 19:45:40 how can I make my background "fixed", i.e. not draggable vertically within my app scene ? Jun 01 19:46:08 does css not work? Jun 01 19:46:10 this.controller.pushScene({name: "first", disableSceneScroller: true }); Jun 01 19:47:10 great, thanks lyht :) Jun 01 19:47:24 yup, that works Jun 01 19:47:51 any way to have it for all scenes, perhaps ? Jun 01 19:48:19 don't think so Jun 01 19:48:31 k Jun 01 19:50:05 is it a good approach when developping a game to make it work in a web page and then split up view/js for webos ? Jun 01 19:50:51 i'd say that depends on the game Jun 01 19:51:25 what do you think would be the relevant criterias to base the choice on ? Jun 01 19:52:26 well say it is a moving game... and has a certain frame rate... you could do better to customize it on the device for proper frame rate Jun 01 19:52:45 also screen resolution could be a point Jun 01 19:53:06 then event handling... this works differently on the device than in the browser Jun 01 19:53:29 especially the device specific stuff like the acceleration Jun 01 19:55:43 I sure would be in trouble trying to make use of the acceleration in a web page ;) Jun 01 19:56:00 so it totally depends on the game Jun 01 19:56:11 simple card game should not matter how you do it Jun 01 19:56:50 sounds good enough :] Jun 01 19:57:21 I think I'm gonna import jquery for the purpose. I love it too much. That's a pity mojo is based on prototype instead of it Jun 01 19:57:40 then again... if you customize it to the device... the individual gaming experience could win on that Jun 01 19:58:01 i've seen some games here that used jquery Jun 01 19:59:04 i really like the canvas for games Jun 01 19:59:23 joetweeply: sure thing. I'm just familiarizing myself with the device here, so I'll stick to something basic for now Jun 01 19:59:51 just making sure I can make use of my webdev skills in that environment Jun 01 19:59:55 i've used canvas for one "game" and just html and css transitions for another one Jun 01 20:00:34 btw, how do you handle the screen rotating ? is it an event listener that changes the stylesheet ? Jun 01 20:00:41 my first game was canvas based... second and third, currently in development, are canvas too Jun 01 20:01:04 famic: pretty much Jun 01 20:01:08 yup, for me it's event listener and different graphics Jun 01 20:02:06 so how do you go about changing the stylesheet then ? :D or maybe your stylesheet.css has both versions depending on a main container's class ? Jun 01 20:02:45 i don't use stylesheets for my graphics... just containers handling their own settings Jun 01 20:03:18 famic: you could change the styles on rotation Jun 01 20:05:09 I've read we could decompile .ipk files... I think reverse engeneering some apps would be quite instructive. Would you happen to know how to do so ? Jun 01 20:05:40 there is a great article on game development on developer.palm.com Jun 01 20:05:52 you can even download the source code... helped me a lot Jun 01 20:06:29 really? I didn't find much more than the "hello world" and the api guide :/ Jun 01 20:06:56 http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1987&Itemid=20 Jun 01 20:07:13 enjoy Jun 01 20:07:32 hi Jun 01 20:07:39 evening Jun 01 20:07:57 evening, yes Jun 01 20:08:19 joetweeply: thanks. Actually I've read a bit of that already, it just seemed too canvas oriented for me. I'll give it a second shot, though ;) Jun 01 20:08:44 anyone know how long a content update usually takes? Jun 01 20:08:57 3 or 4 days? Jun 01 20:09:01 i know we just went through a holiday weekend, but i thought it would be quick... Jun 01 20:09:01 workdays Jun 01 20:09:05 well it helped me with my arcade game so give it a try Jun 01 20:09:08 well, poo Jun 01 20:09:15 Famic: have you tried the code samples that come with the SDK? Jun 01 20:09:28 Famic: what do you try to do? Jun 01 20:09:29 maybe i'll just cancel it and submit my real update with more localization Jun 01 20:09:53 LoneStar99: yeah, but that seems to be only widget examples Jun 01 20:09:57 don't cancel it Jun 01 20:10:01 it will take ages Jun 01 20:10:02 no? Jun 01 20:10:08 ohhh, even more poo Jun 01 20:10:09 no Jun 01 20:10:30 Famic: what type of app u trying to develop? Jun 01 20:10:30 hi metaview Jun 01 20:10:33 cancel takes even more time then submit, reject or submit accept Jun 01 20:10:36 hi swisstomcat Jun 01 20:10:37 i submitted on friday (noticed it when i had submitted by first update), but had to wait until that got published Jun 01 20:10:37 hi swisstomcat Jun 01 20:10:49 LoneStar99: I'm making a MasterMind Jun 01 20:11:01 for free? Jun 01 20:11:26 hi lonestar Jun 01 20:11:28 my gf is looking for a free mastermind, there is only 0.99 version Jun 01 20:11:43 seems easy enough for a first test, plus I'd enjoy playing it in the subway now and then ;) Jun 01 20:11:49 I told her to write it, as mastermind is quite an easy task Jun 01 20:12:02 I'll probably make it free, yeah Jun 01 20:12:05 if you do it, I tell her to wait :) Jun 01 20:12:26 do you know the name of the actual one ? Jun 01 20:12:31 swisstomcat: is the featured list getting you closer to the top 20? Jun 01 20:12:32 Code breaker Jun 01 20:12:35 i'd like that too Jun 01 20:12:54 hattczech: i can't tell because hotapps is not updated :( Jun 01 20:13:06 what's your current download count? Jun 01 20:13:06 how much downloads the last days? Jun 01 20:13:12 10k Jun 01 20:13:14 4 days Jun 01 20:13:22 10k in 4 days? not bad Jun 01 20:13:32 mine is already looking better, I'd say ;D Jun 01 20:13:33 probably a lot of updates tho Jun 01 20:13:39 my estimate was that the top 20 was ~100k downloads Jun 01 20:13:44 my best makes 400 / day and for this it stays at #82 Jun 01 20:14:03 right now i'm at 2000-2500 per day Jun 01 20:14:12 but that will probably go back down to 200 at some point Jun 01 20:14:15 should move you up Jun 01 20:14:26 swisstomcat: if it stays at that rate, you could hit top 20 Jun 01 20:14:32 but it would have to stay at that rate Jun 01 20:14:33 it won't stay at that rate Jun 01 20:15:12 ahh well Jun 01 20:15:27 I wonder how you made it into the ftr list Jun 01 20:15:28 at least free music ringtones won't get the $10k :) hahah Jun 01 20:15:56 (because that developer already has the flashcards app in the paid top 20) Jun 01 20:16:33 is it only one app per category? Jun 01 20:16:43 I thought it is for each app, the money Jun 01 20:16:54 no, but you can't get more than one prize in the top 20 Jun 01 20:17:12 swisstomcat, are you here? Jun 01 20:17:16 or Roy-Pre101 Jun 01 20:17:20 yeah Jun 01 20:17:26 do you guys want to be interviewed by Wire? Jun 01 20:17:37 Nyceane: Yo. What's up?

Jun 01 20:27:27 preware Jun 01 20:27:51 i use wosqi as a last resort for patches Jun 01 20:28:02 it works... just cleaner through preware Jun 01 20:28:11 trying ubercalendar using wosqi again Jun 01 20:28:13 I just yell at my pre Jun 01 20:28:19 good to know Jun 01 20:29:12 I'll remove my patches and reinstall through preware, I might stop having unexpected luna reboot Jun 01 20:29:22 no Jun 01 20:29:26 probably not :) Jun 01 20:29:51 newer preware version should't cause luna reboots or background services disappearing anymore Jun 01 20:29:53 does it mean luna reboot are usual for everybody ?

Jun 01 20:36:41 dunno which one could... perhaps it's not the patches but the apps, like terminal/openssh or myflashlight that seem to add some libs to the system Jun 01 20:36:48 nah, been there a couple times, but not from there... my grandfather is :) Jun 01 20:37:12 i know ezipupdate has some problems when rebooting Jun 01 20:37:15 * halfhalo_T400 is from SoCal.

Jun 01 22:09:19 i miss bluetoothing contacts/apps/calendar events between palm devices =( Jun 01 22:46:06 nm, i just wiped Jun 01 22:48:22 Mousey: you can email contacts as vcfs Jun 01 22:48:36 but calendar events, moar importante! Jun 01 22:48:48 syncml would be nice, but head out of the clouds pls Mousey Jun 01 22:50:01 share google calenders Jun 01 22:52:45 what if i already have a calendaring system that i like moar than googles?

Jun 01 22:54:28 like, for instance, adding transfer of appointments over wifi to Agenda? Jun 01 22:54:29 that'd be nice. syncML would abstract interfaces tho Jun 01 22:54:47 aaand open up xfering between apps Jun 01 22:55:08 Agenda could add them to your calendar Jun 01 22:55:20 just need to get the wifi transfer part Jun 01 22:56:04 * haeffb doesn't even know if that's theoretically possible given todays API limitations Jun 01 22:56:40 * haeffb supposes you could always send the info to a cloud server & back down Jun 01 22:58:14 i imagine the obstacle is bluetooth profile support, unless you were referring to an alternate method of transfer Jun 01 23:00:50 chuqui: you around? Jun 01 23:01:00 nope. not here. not at all. Jun 01 23:01:16 how do we get "didn't download" reviews removed?

There are places there where you can literally walk a mile or two down the beach and not run into anybody Jun 02 01:54:39 You can rent a massive beach home as well. Jun 02 01:55:13 * Megatherium would like a massive beach home. Jun 02 01:55:59 Megatherium: Start developing and get a popular app. Jun 02 01:56:46 we're looking at a 7-br place on Murrel's Inlet in July Jun 02 01:57:16 reality9110: Not likely, you can never guarantee a hit app. Jun 02 01:57:41 haeffb: How much? Jun 02 01:57:46 Like what's your budget? Jun 02 01:58:01 Megatherium: You can if you have an idea of what people want. Jun 02 01:58:38 Who knows? Jun 02 01:58:43 * Megatherium shrugs. Jun 02 02:00:13 People with popular apps. :-) Jun 02 02:01:20 $5k Jun 02 02:01:21 I suppose so. Jun 02 02:02:36 * oil wishes he had a popular app :) Jun 02 02:02:59 haeffb: including airfare?

Jun 02 02:17:16 RadioTime Jun 02 02:17:27 * oil used it a few times Jun 02 02:17:41 The new update is pretty nice. Jun 02 02:17:48 Adds some new things Jun 02 02:17:57 not my station...

Jun 02 02:19:04 * Megatherium sighs. Jun 02 02:19:14 you can...just pay ETF Jun 02 02:19:57 ebay Jun 02 02:20:11 * haeffb would like to be in top 20 of paid apps...

Jun 02 02:32:30 rolsworth: not sure, if it lured more developers... Jun 02 02:32:44 guessing only palm knows Jun 02 02:33:02 well the catalog DID get bigger.... Jun 02 02:33:26 My guess is that what'll really lure developers in the long run is the announcement of a new Palm phone or internet tablet. Jun 02 02:33:28 even with the palm uncertainty, so it had to work on some level Jun 02 02:33:52 microphone access... Jun 02 02:33:54 Megatherium: you can buy a contractless GSM Pixi Plus from Germany ... Jun 02 02:34:24 i wonder ho wmany apps android had after the first year Jun 02 02:34:43 Megatherium: why Pixi and not Pre? Jun 02 02:35:14 JenP: Because I prefer the keyboard feel and build quality. (I've tried both, courtesy of friends who own them) Jun 02 02:36:03 * haeffb watching Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D Jun 02 02:36:17 microphone access!

Jun 02 02:36:22 wow, you do need a vacation Jun 02 02:37:04 microphone - i need a true tuner app Jun 02 02:37:31 * BigBiff no idea how you would create that Jun 02 02:37:32 not thru personal choice... Jun 02 02:37:51 where's the love, y'all? Jun 02 02:37:53 * BigBiff always vacations in destiin Jun 02 02:38:02 webOS has microphone access if Palm would put Alsa (and pulseaudio/gstreamer) on the whitelist for pdk apps Jun 02 02:38:09 everyone send them an email ;) Jun 02 02:38:19 you write it, I'll send it Jun 02 02:38:30 heh, they've heard plenty from me Jun 02 02:38:32 sign my name on there Jun 02 02:38:48 Tibfib: Hey, why not shoot me a beta of your app!

Jun 02 02:54:16 reality9110: Don't know, but that'd be good to document on webos101.com. :D Jun 02 02:54:26 Yeah Jun 02 02:57:03 Roy-Pre101: Orange button, Sym, P Jun 02 02:57:56 hah, thought you meant programatically.
