**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 18 03:00:01 2010 Dec 18 03:02:50 NodeJS is boggling my mind :Q Dec 18 03:11:25 what exactly Dec 18 03:11:25 do Dec 18 03:11:29 does node.js do Dec 18 03:11:35 like yeah yeah evented io for javascript Dec 18 03:13:59 right now, I want to be sending and listening to UDP packets Dec 18 03:14:08 It basically gives you a bunch of IO stuff for Javascript Dec 18 06:18:27 Yay, I have a UDP broadcast server running in NodeJS! Dec 18 06:22:58 Question: I have UDP broadcast for the purposes of discovering Boxee/XMBC systems running on the network... Should I realistically assume there may be more than one on the network? Dec 18 06:25:11 would a user stand to benefit from running multiple Boxee/XMBC systems on the same network? Dec 18 06:25:49 it seems people only want at most one home theater system, but i don't particularly know Dec 18 06:26:29 SineOt: I would assume multiple Dec 18 06:26:36 its just easier that way int he long run Dec 18 06:27:13 he should weigh the amount of extra code and complexity against the userbase gain Dec 18 06:28:04 if it's likely that less than 1% of users have multiple systems, slowing down the app might not be worth it Dec 18 06:28:47 unless he markets it as a system geared toward power users like that, the extra work is probably not worth it Dec 18 06:28:48 it's more that right now, I can't figure out how to have the service close after X seconds Dec 18 06:29:05 settimeout Dec 18 06:29:05 without somehow breaking the response system @_@ Dec 18 06:29:06 :p Dec 18 06:29:08 node.js doesn't have setTimeout Dec 18 06:29:09 tried that Dec 18 06:29:13 yes it does Dec 18 06:29:20 suddenly it won't receive any responses Dec 18 06:29:27 forgot the ? at the end Dec 18 06:30:34 is the response system in the app or in the service? Dec 18 06:31:10 the service in the end Dec 18 06:31:15 which will get called from the app Dec 18 06:32:29 setTimeout(client.close(),500); Dec 18 06:34:16 so are you trying to close part of the service instead of the whole thing? Dec 18 06:34:42 or why would you want the response system running after closing the service? Dec 18 06:35:40 my nodeJS service opens a UDP socket, sends the discovery query via broadcast (255.255.255.255, might now work on device, need to test that), then receives the response over the same socket Dec 18 06:35:51 I assume it's better practice to y'know, close the socket when you're done with it Dec 18 06:37:08 oh, so you're assuming the responses come back within 500ms? Dec 18 06:37:31 why don't you just close the socket 500ms after the first response? Dec 18 06:37:57 and a maximum of, say, 2 seconds Dec 18 06:38:00 because if I do setTimeout(client.close(),500); it won't... get any responses Dec 18 06:38:03 I was testing with 5000 Dec 18 06:38:41 well, there's your problem Dec 18 06:38:52 you're actually calling 'client.close()' when you make the timeout Dec 18 06:39:04 you want to do setTimeout(function(){client.close()},500) Dec 18 06:39:55 ooooooh Dec 18 06:41:38 yeah, that works :3 Dec 18 06:41:50 I guess this is what happens when you have like, <3 months JS experience! Dec 18 06:41:56 sorry for the late input... but Sine, always assume multiple units Dec 18 06:42:13 how's it coming along? :) Dec 18 06:42:20 Yeah, you were that weird edge case I was pondering :p Dec 18 06:42:37 It's goin' Dec 18 06:42:52 i'm technically _not_ the poweruser Dec 18 06:43:05 because at the moment ALL boxee/xbmc users are power users Dec 18 06:43:07 How many of them do you have set up? Dec 18 06:43:13 6 + 1 server Dec 18 06:43:31 my sister has 2 Dec 18 06:43:49 i just setup my uncle with a 2 system setup as well Dec 18 06:44:09 seems people that get into the swing of these media systems, want them at every tv Dec 18 06:44:22 heh Dec 18 06:44:26 Yeah, fair enough! Dec 18 06:44:37 But this UDP discovery will be a much later feature... Dec 18 06:44:54 and as halo said... it'll save you headache in the long run Dec 18 06:45:06 yeah? not a release feature? Dec 18 06:45:13 well if I wanted to save a headache, I'd have just left it with manual IP input :] Dec 18 06:45:24 true Dec 18 06:45:55 it just seems like something nice + a reason to start looking into NodeJS Dec 18 06:46:03 absolutely Dec 18 06:46:08 and from what I can tell so far NodeJS is pretty damn awesome Dec 18 06:46:14 hehe Dec 18 06:46:15 yup Dec 18 06:46:28 ;o Dec 18 06:46:45 Man, though, Boxee really needs to work on their API... Although I think it's most XBMC's fault. :p Dec 18 06:47:00 It has a spot in the discovery request for the name of the application requesting control. Dec 18 06:47:08 It only accepts one value: iphone_remote Dec 18 06:47:14 lol Dec 18 06:47:38 it's like, "what's the point" Dec 18 06:48:09 contact them to let them know you're working on a webos implementation Dec 18 06:48:09 it was a useless contribution from an even more useless developer ;) Dec 18 06:48:22 yeah... that's a good idea Dec 18 06:48:31 of course, for the secret challenge for discovery? b0xeeRem0tE! Dec 18 06:48:33 they might make the change and point to your app Dec 18 06:48:47 probably shouldn't post that to a publicly logged channel :P Dec 18 06:48:57 lol Dec 18 06:49:04 It's not really secret, it's posted on the Wiki :p Dec 18 06:49:25 You're supposed to add your own "secret sauce" and then MD5 the two of them together. Dec 18 06:49:30 oh ok Dec 18 06:49:35 yeah Dec 18 06:49:59 just seems like a pretty dumb thing to use. "Let's put it in LEET SPEAK" Dec 18 06:50:47 well, it seems like it could have been any random string, so that string was probably committed to the repo around 3AM by a dev who thought he was clever Dec 18 06:51:12 It's also marked as "changing soon!" and it hasn't changed in uh... Almost a year. Dec 18 06:51:54 * SineOt is still waiting on hearing back if he can use the logo since it's technically been slightly altered Dec 18 06:53:17 who altered it? Dec 18 06:53:17 you? Dec 18 06:53:28 yeah Dec 18 06:53:34 It's a TOTALLY AMAZING ALTERATION Dec 18 06:53:39 lol Dec 18 06:53:41 it's set to overlay on the background :T Dec 18 06:53:55 depending on how anal they are about the use of the logo... Dec 18 06:53:58 dude Dec 18 06:54:15 i was doing a project for CNN in atlanta at their big HQ back in 05 Dec 18 06:54:41 i had taken their logo and placed a slight drop shadow on it for a template we were creating for some digital signage Dec 18 06:54:53 and i had a team of 6 people come down and bitch at me Dec 18 06:54:55 mugen-, you want to test what I have so far in a bit after I give volume adjustment another go? Dec 18 06:55:06 yeah but that's CNN :p Dec 18 06:55:20 it's more of the company culture too Dec 18 06:55:28 i know small time firms that are similar Dec 18 06:55:39 ...and yes, i'd love to give it a try Dec 18 06:55:43 Cool Dec 18 06:56:17 have you tried on the pixi? Dec 18 06:56:24 that's all i have with me atm Dec 18 06:56:32 yup Dec 18 06:56:34 works fine :3 Dec 18 06:56:36 my pre is in route to hp/palm for repair Dec 18 06:56:38 sweet :) Dec 18 06:56:39 Pixi+? Dec 18 06:56:41 yea Dec 18 06:56:50 you have wifi, haha :D Dec 18 06:57:13 * ajay wonders if he's the only one with a pdk app that doesn't work properly Dec 18 06:57:39 ajay: did it work before? Dec 18 06:58:15 fahhem: no. It's my friend's app i'm porting, and it works on (Seemingly) every other platform in the world.. Dec 18 06:59:03 dropbear vs openssh? Dec 18 06:59:30 what's the error? Dec 18 06:59:46 have you narrowed it down to ssh not working or is that a guess? Dec 18 07:00:08 fahhem: just full of graphic artifacts. with almost every keypress more crap shows up on the screen. Dec 18 07:00:38 lol, that sounds pretty messed up... Dec 18 07:01:03 i have a feeling ssh isn't the problem if you don't have graphics working Dec 18 07:01:47 try commenting out/disabling everything in the app that isn't necessary for graphics so you can debug that bit easier Dec 18 07:02:24 it might turn out that everything works, just that the graphics system doesn't understand your calls Dec 18 07:04:02 rockplayer works right? Dec 18 07:10:48 Ughghhhhhh, and now suddenly... My app doesn't work! :V Dec 18 07:12:16 * SineOt head scratches. Dec 18 07:13:08 did you only add/change the client.close() code? Dec 18 07:15:24 This is a version without that stuff. Dec 18 07:15:32 Somehow my AJAX is all failing. Dec 18 07:16:07 hehe Dec 18 07:16:14 what'cha add/change/remove? Dec 18 07:16:42 Nothing :p Dec 18 07:17:49 uh oh Dec 18 07:18:13 do you have a good console/mojo info/error/log habit? Dec 18 07:18:36 maybe a missing file? Dec 18 07:19:11 Yeah, I'm fiddling with it now Dec 18 07:19:56 Yeah, weird. AJAX isn't working! Dec 18 07:23:30 Actually I think my cookies might not be working... Hrm. Dec 18 07:26:09 what do you do with the cookies? Dec 18 07:28:02 store the IP/port of the servers Dec 18 07:30:42 * SineOt rolls over and dies Dec 18 07:35:41 The hell is going on. :C Dec 18 07:40:40 It sends all the commands when you close the app. Dec 18 07:40:52 What in the world did I -do?- Dec 18 07:41:58 oh, do you ever flush the udp port? Dec 18 07:42:18 it might be buffering all the data until you close the port, which you used to do immediately Dec 18 07:42:35 This is a version of the app that is completely separate from that Dec 18 07:44:24 so is there a service or no? Dec 18 07:46:08 No service Dec 18 07:47:11 does it hit an infinite loop? Dec 18 07:47:25 that might cause the port to not send data until it gets enough CPU cycles Dec 18 07:49:05 It's just using plain Ajax.Request Dec 18 07:49:54 so you run the request, then no data gets sent and your callbacks don't fire until you close the app? Dec 18 07:50:37 The requests apparently don't get sent until I close the app Dec 18 07:50:47 because then suddenly... TONS of activity Dec 18 07:51:45 This worked fine a few days ago! I haven't done anything but play with a completely seperate NodeJS service I've been debugging on my desktop :B Dec 18 07:52:15 maybe your connection is slowing things down? Dec 18 07:52:22 how long do you wait before you close the app? Dec 18 07:53:11 5 minutes :T Dec 18 07:53:14 then everything runs at once Dec 18 07:54:46 try adding callbacks to onCreate, onUninitialized, onLoading, onLoaded, onInteractive, onComplete that log the output Dec 18 07:54:51 see where it gets stuck Dec 18 07:55:17 in case you want some quick reference url: http://www.weboshelp.net/getting-started-with-webos/415-webos-and-ajax-revisited Dec 18 07:57:03 but what I don't get is that like, this worked fine last week when I tried it then Dec 18 07:57:10 but suddenly it oesn't Dec 18 07:57:57 hence the testing callbacks Dec 18 07:58:22 you can put the same function for each, they only need to log "got further" or something Dec 18 07:58:22 I think I'm just going to call it a night Dec 18 07:58:44 alright, good luck tomorrow Dec 18 09:36:35 Hello, i have an question. Well, i remember, when i get the Palm Pre Plus in version 1.4.1 i had the choice in some properties to decide, what data connections the pre may choose, i.e. 3G or GPRS. Well, after the update to 1.4.5 i don't find this menu again. Dec 18 09:37:30 did someone know, what i mean and could help me out of? Dec 18 10:04:31 Nobody an idea? Dec 18 10:04:51 sorry, got mine after 1.4.5 was already out Dec 18 10:08:31 are you talking about this? http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/pre/p100eww/sprint/solutions/article/25627_en.html#N1036B Dec 18 10:09:13 bams55? Dec 18 10:21:37 I too was wondering how to change data on 1.4.5 Dec 18 10:22:19 did you (ajay or bams55) see my link? Dec 18 11:05:20 fahhem: ok cool. looks like I don't have that option then.. :( ( Dec 18 11:12:31 oh man, thanks! Dec 18 11:13:00 this was it! i don't know, how to thanks you Dec 18 11:13:01 :D Dec 18 11:14:35 and one question at last: Is it possible, to increase coverage of the wifi? Dec 18 11:15:22 reception by the phone or coverage by the router? Dec 18 11:15:45 either way, the easiest way would probably be using a (bette) antenna Dec 18 11:15:47 better* Dec 18 11:15:50 by the palm Dec 18 11:16:11 attaching an antenna to your phone is pretty messed up since it's a beautiful pre/pixi Dec 18 11:16:17 at least imo Dec 18 11:16:20 :) Dec 18 11:26:27 ah man that was some crazy file moving around to allow me to install unison! eek Dec 18 12:15:18 ttfn folks! boy its late! Dec 18 13:20:41 anyone have any luck with actually getting discount codes from pdc? Dec 18 13:21:24 i emailed a while back and am 'under review' so i'm curious if they normally take weeks or i'm getting a shy 'umm, no.' Dec 18 14:50:12 woohoo. New T2i unboxed! Dec 18 15:45:25 * phil_bw wanders by Dec 18 15:45:44 * fahhem clotheslines phil_bw Dec 18 15:46:14 ouch... Dec 18 15:46:36 bad humor, sorry Dec 18 15:46:42 been wandering by forever... first time that happened :P Dec 18 15:47:14 * phil_bw roundhouse kicks fahhem Dec 18 15:47:24 there, we're even Dec 18 15:48:11 amazed to see anyone awake this early on a sat... must be in a dif timezone Dec 18 15:49:01 pst, stayed up Dec 18 16:25:43 heh, webos wrestling federation in here Dec 18 16:26:05 you want some of this?\ Dec 18 16:26:10 huh? do ya? Dec 18 16:28:45 :o Dec 18 16:29:21 if you do, I accept Ajax.Requests Dec 18 16:36:40 lol Dec 18 16:38:48 * phil_bw wanders back by, only ducking as I do this time Dec 18 16:38:50 break time Dec 18 16:39:01 * fahhem trips phil_bw Dec 18 16:40:01 anyone working on anything fun these days? Dec 18 16:40:45 lets see...papers...portfolio...not really no.. :/ Dec 18 16:40:51 sucks Dec 18 16:40:57 mostly waiting on Enyo Dec 18 16:41:14 waiting for tonight Dec 18 16:41:16 oh oh Dec 18 16:41:28 though i saw cappuccino running as an app so i might be able to port an existing app using that Dec 18 16:41:28 yeah I've decided not to do anything more with my regular webos apps until Enyo arrives Dec 18 16:41:51 cappuccino? Dec 18 16:42:11 yeah, it's an objective-j based framework that makes web apps seem more like desktop apps Dec 18 16:42:23 interesting Dec 18 16:42:25 and for some systems, able to also run as desktop apps Dec 18 16:42:53 yeah, it can turn into a mac os x app and i'm seeing a Qt port too, which would make it technically cross-OS Dec 18 16:42:55 I personally switched my efforts to C++/OpenGL Dec 18 16:43:01 going to get my game on Dec 18 16:43:15 PDK apps or PC? Dec 18 16:43:21 PDK Dec 18 16:43:25 word Dec 18 16:43:43 working on some multiplayer games my wife and I can play over wifi/internet Dec 18 16:44:02 nice, multi-phone games Dec 18 16:44:11 yeah Dec 18 16:44:21 got fed up with the lack of multiplayer games Dec 18 16:44:24 waiting for a new phone ;-; Dec 18 16:44:55 preferably on Dec 18 16:44:55 on Dec 18 16:44:57 sprint Dec 18 16:44:58 * torchie dies Dec 18 16:45:19 you mean pre 2 or are you trying to buy a new one? Dec 18 16:45:25 yeah, my Sprint Pre could use an upgrade, in the mean time it gets the job done Dec 18 16:45:41 pre 3 Dec 18 16:46:10 I'm on my 4th sprint pre and on this one, the speaker came blown and I'm having headset mode issues already Dec 18 16:46:16 $60 on craigslist though Dec 18 16:46:33 I'm on a pretty decent refurb Dec 18 16:46:38 weird, i dropped (on accident) my pre 15 feet to concrete and only lost a corner Dec 18 16:46:59 if the next webos phone could just be rock solid Dec 18 16:47:01 that'd be great Dec 18 16:47:06 my previous pre had a *hard* life... got beaten so bad and kept on working Dec 18 16:47:22 torchie, didn't you buy a new one like 2 weeks ago? Dec 18 16:47:26 finally the keyboard started acting up so I took it to sprint and got a refurb Dec 18 16:47:28 or is that the one you're waiting on? Dec 18 16:47:31 mugen- yeah that's the one I have right now Dec 18 16:47:51 but it's a used one Dec 18 16:47:55 ah Dec 18 16:48:06 I'm trying to stay on webos as I wait for the SUPER DEVICE Dec 18 16:48:16 i hear you Dec 18 16:48:26 i actually REALLY like my pixi as a daily driver Dec 18 16:48:29 pre 2 is a very good eveloper device Dec 18 16:48:36 and a good developer device too Dec 18 16:48:36 it's been more reliable than my pre Dec 18 16:48:38 no sliders! Dec 18 16:48:58 Tibfib: you got one? Dec 18 16:49:03 yeah Dec 18 16:49:25 with a discount or straight up? Dec 18 16:49:35 (discount from pdc) Dec 18 16:49:37 with a discount Dec 18 16:50:02 cool, how long did it take for pdc to get back to you about the discount? Dec 18 16:51:14 i'm still waiting, and it's been 5 weeks Dec 18 16:51:21 :( Dec 18 17:07:38 * haeffb wants pre2 on sprint Dec 18 17:12:43 and I want it on verizon Dec 18 17:14:25 i'd settle for webos2.0 on the original pre Dec 18 17:25:19 man this pre backup utility takes forever Dec 18 18:02:53 haeffb: you're going to be disappointed Dec 18 18:03:15 by? Dec 18 18:03:20 pre2 on sprint? Dec 18 18:03:23 sprint, hp, or palm Dec 18 18:03:29 yah Dec 18 18:03:35 bitches. Dec 18 18:03:48 AND hos Dec 18 18:04:43 I guess I should do some honey-dos today Dec 18 18:04:44 dammit Dec 18 18:05:32 * haeffb playing with the new camera Dec 18 18:05:37 dammit Dec 18 18:07:45 oh? what kind of camera? Dec 18 18:10:09 * phil_bw wanders by Dec 18 18:10:13 lunch time :) Dec 18 18:11:08 Canon T2i Dec 18 18:12:04 replaces my 5-year old Rebel XT Dec 18 18:33:19 btw, in case anyone cares about TV shows and Palm, one of the partners in "The Defenders" owns a Palm Pre but never makes it obvious like for other phones Dec 18 18:48:00 s/like for/unlike for/ Dec 18 18:50:11 never heard of it... probably on cable. have rabbit ears hooked up to the big screen... Dec 18 18:51:37 i'm an online-only guy, so i have no clue if its cable, basic, or whatever else is out there Dec 18 18:54:11 ah, haven't watched anything online in a while... I'm pretty lame it seems Dec 18 19:00:35 argh, I don#t get my ssh keys working... hm, wonder how I did it the last time Dec 18 19:05:24 hm, had to reload the private key in putty... that was easy, but took my some hours... Dec 18 19:11:26 * visolix thinks rest&sleep is good, i just need to remember to do it more often.. :/ Dec 18 19:47:34 visolix: make an app for it :) Dec 18 19:47:57 haha.. sheah... i'd like that... most of the time :) Dec 18 19:48:06 wife wouldnt though. :D Dec 18 19:48:30 hey, did SineOT ever get that problem figured out? Dec 18 19:48:43 last night he was kinda stressin.. :/ Dec 18 19:49:53 the first or second one? Dec 18 19:50:58 i found the setTimeout problem, but he went to sleep when debugging the older, non-service, version of his app Dec 18 19:52:40 yeah, teh second one, i just signed out when he called it quits... Dec 18 19:53:11 my memory a little foggy, as i was reeealy tired, but you probablyknow what im referring to. Dec 18 19:53:13 How does one save an SQL database to the phone to open at the next instance of the app? Dec 18 19:53:37 im sorry, KGF2009, but you need to raise your hand. Dec 18 19:53:45 ;) hehe, jking :) Dec 18 19:55:04 XD Dec 18 19:55:32 KGF2009: like save it at the close? Dec 18 19:55:52 Yeah. Dec 18 19:55:57 that's tricky Dec 18 19:56:14 because there's a limit in how long you can execute code after an app is killed Dec 18 19:56:37 you could open a dashboard or what ever it's called? Dec 18 19:56:40 check out the dev forums. Most people launch dashboards that save the data on the stage close Dec 18 20:23:07 hey everyone! Dec 18 20:23:23 All my app ideas have been dead ends so far. x.x Dec 18 20:23:30 hoping someone can answer a question for me.. Dec 18 20:24:43 my pre got thirsty and went for a small drink, lol, and now the power button wont respond to anything... is there a patch that i can apply to turn off the screen, or at least lock it so i dont have to wait for it to shut itself off? Dec 18 20:25:00 i checked in Preware, but couldnt find much Dec 18 20:25:26 btw.. i have no extra repo's installed, only the standard ones that come with preware Dec 18 20:25:30 Oh, I think I actually saw something like that once.

Dec 18 20:40:15 Been wracking my brain for app ideas. Haven't made a single successful app. x.x Dec 18 20:41:14 what kind of app are you trying to do? Dec 18 20:41:15 really? Dec 18 20:41:22 anything in particular? Dec 18 20:41:26 business/personal/game/??? Dec 18 20:41:37 information/book/social??? Dec 18 20:42:00 Anythine simple that I can do with the SDK. Dec 18 20:42:04 i'd like an msn client... Dec 18 20:42:05 lol Dec 18 20:42:32 KGF2009 you have to PICK an area of interest. Dec 18 20:42:36 that's the first step. Dec 18 20:42:51 for example, do you have graphics ability? Do you have a good sense of humor? Dec 18 20:42:57 are you good at explaining things? Dec 18 20:43:13 what are your strengths? You like climbing rocks? Do you bicycle? Are you a hiker? Dec 18 20:43:21 do you juggle? Dec 18 20:43:33 don't juggle pre's... Dec 18 20:43:35 just saying Dec 18 20:43:47 :P Dec 18 20:43:47 works mikel__ Dec 18 20:43:56 lol Dec 18 20:44:50 I really don't know, I have multiple areas of interest, really. Dec 18 20:45:10 hrm... ill look at my phone and come up with something.. Dec 18 20:45:13 I suppose like, productivity/utilities as a general category. Dec 18 20:45:51 I just can't make an app look good for crap. x.x Dec 18 20:45:54 oo! i have one! can you make an app where you can store your programs/apps/utilities in folders? it would clean up my launcher A LOT Dec 18 20:46:02 KGF2009: the default styles are decent enough Dec 18 20:46:11 don't add a custom background and it'll be fine Dec 18 20:46:18 if it looks default, im happy with it! Dec 18 20:46:31 if it looks like crap, as long as it works, im happy with it Dec 18 20:46:42 also, I think the palm-dark theme is better looking than the the regular one Dec 18 20:46:45 Even so, Tibfib, I still manage to make it look horrible. Dec 18 20:47:03 KGF2009: screenshots? Dec 18 20:47:34 Don't have any; all those apps are long gone. XD Dec 18 20:47:56 when the screen goes to off mode, make it load a small animataion, ie; screenblanker style.. would be nice. Dec 18 20:47:59 if i had the know-how, i'd give my hand at making an app, Dec 18 20:48:27 but the fact that you UNDERSTAND how to make one is 10 times better than me lol Dec 18 20:48:33 KGF2009: worry about function, then graphics. Dec 18 20:48:41 agreed Dec 18 20:48:51 Right. Dec 18 20:49:03 thats what updates are for :P Dec 18 20:49:06 But I still don't have a function to do. XP Dec 18 20:49:13 app folders! Dec 18 20:49:23 mikel__: can't do that if he wants to sell it Dec 18 20:49:35 does he want to sell it tho.. Dec 18 20:49:53 Not particularly; and to me, that sounds more like something for a patch. Dec 18 20:49:53 and how do you do the red font thing? Dec 18 20:50:09 im IRC-illiterate lol Dec 18 20:50:18 did anyone do that timezone app? Dec 18 20:50:26 It turns red if someone says your name. Dec 18 20:50:45 I looked and there's a timezone app 10x better than even the idea I had in mind for my finished product. XD Dec 18 20:50:47 KGF2009 thanks Dec 18 20:50:55 didnt work lol Dec 18 20:51:06 mikel__ Dec 18 20:51:17 mikel_ you using wIRC? Dec 18 20:51:27 im on XChat (ubuntu) Dec 18 20:51:32 You can't make it turn red yourself without a special character code. Dec 18 20:51:34 * Tibfib this color? Dec 18 20:51:42 Like this? Dec 18 20:52:12 KGF2009: think of something YOU want on your phone, and make it Dec 18 20:52:18 oo! i know a good one, kgf... i've been waiting forever for a java chat room app Dec 18 20:52:30 or something similar Dec 18 20:52:36 i know java isnt supported Dec 18 20:53:33 KGF2009 it's easiest to make a really good ap about something you know or love. Pomeranians, redheads, whatever... Dec 18 20:53:39 have you no interests? Dec 18 20:54:41 redheads lol Dec 18 20:55:27 I can't really think of anything towards my interests to put in an app. XP Dec 18 20:55:30 you think I couldn't do an app about redheads? Dec 18 20:56:13 Whee Dec 18 20:56:33 oo.. heres a really dumb question... really really dumb... is there a theme that i can reinstall to have all the ORIGINAL palm images back? i had a bad case of "uninstall gone wrong" and got stuck with some images from an old theme Dec 18 20:57:01 This is fun Dec 18 20:57:01 this is an ancient thing, but if i could at least see the original theme again... *sniff* Dec 18 20:57:08 whats fun? Dec 18 20:57:20 oo! make an IRC client, KGF2009 Dec 18 20:57:25 Pff. Dec 18 20:57:30 I'm not gonna beat wIRC. XD Dec 18 20:57:33 so? Dec 18 20:57:40 i'd use yours Dec 18 20:58:17 I don't think I can, considering what I've seen how wIRC is set up. An IRC client on WebOS is complicated. Dec 18 20:58:41 do a google image search, create a file of a bazillion redheads, and make an app that's the equivalent of a soundboard but for readhead images. Dec 18 20:58:48 Then do one for pomeranians. Dec 18 20:58:52 and beagles Dec 18 20:58:57 and bicycles Dec 18 20:58:59 lol Dec 18 20:59:01 and football players Dec 18 20:59:04 and .... Dec 18 20:59:13 and chihuahuas Dec 18 20:59:15 slide-show app... Dec 18 20:59:24 basically... that plays a custom slide show. Dec 18 20:59:40 then you can write and document "my photo-board builder" :-) Dec 18 20:59:42 I always wondered why a slide-show function wasn't built-in to the Photos app. Dec 18 20:59:51 SEEE!!!! Dec 18 20:59:58 you did have somehting you wanted on your phone. Dec 18 21:00:02 Write the damned thing. Dec 18 21:00:04 ta-da Dec 18 21:00:07 But how would I do that? D: Dec 18 21:00:09 then, post many versions of it. Dec 18 21:00:12 do it... Dec 18 21:00:21 come on. slide show app is easy.... Dec 18 21:00:29 erm... you're asking the wrong person for the How-To lol Dec 18 21:00:35 Not if I want to add effects and such. Dec 18 21:00:38 image widget on the screen, a few buttons, taps... no big deal Dec 18 21:00:41 i draw a blank when it comes to writing an app Dec 18 21:00:44 ooooo that's for version 2.... Dec 18 21:00:51 make a slide show app Dec 18 21:00:56 KGF2009: webkit transitions are super easy Dec 18 21:01:05 so they are. Dec 18 21:01:07 Oj? Dec 18 21:01:08 get the function built, publish then update Dec 18 21:01:10 Oh* Dec 18 21:01:28 Hmm... Dec 18 21:01:37 Look you asked for an easy sdk app. There is one. As usual, I expect 5% of the revenue over $1000. Dec 18 21:01:38 Ah, screw it. Here goes nothing. Dec 18 21:01:48 lol Dec 18 21:01:51 lol Dec 18 21:01:58 Pff, you think I'm gonna charge for my crappy apps? Dec 18 21:02:03 Not until I get really good. Dec 18 21:02:30 you think I'm kidding, I've done software designs for a BUNCH of people.... software design is a skill.... and is chargable. 5% of revenue over $1000 is a reasonable request. Dec 18 21:03:41 lets see how it goes first, rick-home Dec 18 21:03:52 hehehehe. :-) Dec 18 21:04:00 lol Dec 18 21:04:10 * Tibfib should start trying to get people to pay for IRC help :) Dec 18 21:04:21 KGF2009 -- go for it. Slide show app here we come!!! Dec 18 21:04:29 version 2, you put the slides in cute frames.... Dec 18 21:05:01 charge people for adspace on your app ;) Dec 18 21:05:19 oo.. thats a good one... an adspace app Dec 18 21:05:30 there are good ad apk's available now. Dec 18 21:05:38 hey YEAH!!! Dec 18 21:05:44 a SHOPPING CHANNEL app Dec 18 21:05:47 is enyo available to develop against right now? Dec 18 21:05:48 all ads, all the time. Dec 18 21:05:55 yes! Dec 18 21:06:04 hit every ad feed apk -- put up the latest add from all the add feeds.... Dec 18 21:06:22 gr, i wish i had app-developing skillz Dec 18 21:06:37 mikel__: you gotta start to get them :) Dec 18 21:06:50 lol true dat Dec 18 21:06:53 It made no sense to me when I started, but eventually I "got it" Dec 18 21:07:01 well, i suppose it couldnt hurt.. Dec 18 21:07:11 now.. where is that linux-friendly version. Dec 18 21:07:21 It helps to know HTML, CSS and Javascript before you start. Dec 18 21:07:23 mikel__ it's linux underneith Dec 18 21:07:34 mikel__, the SDK is easily linux-compatible. Dec 18 21:07:35 you can write pdk apps. Dec 18 21:07:43 pdk IS linux. Dec 18 21:07:45 hrm.. Dec 18 21:07:50 compiled in whatever language you like. Dec 18 21:07:52 well then Dec 18 21:07:57 Hell, we've had X11 running on it. Dec 18 21:08:00 im not at a complete loss then Dec 18 21:08:06 rick-home, serious? Dec 18 21:08:11 grab the pdk docs. Dec 18 21:08:22 KGF2009 do you pay NO attention to what webos-internals does? Dec 18 21:08:29 Not a thing. Dec 18 21:08:44 Other than UberKernel. Dec 18 21:08:46 lol same! Dec 18 21:08:47 ahhh... we -own- these machines, down to the bit level. Dec 18 21:08:49 Which I love. Dec 18 21:08:57 i dont even pay attention to Uber Dec 18 21:09:06 i say, i need this.. is this available? Dec 18 21:09:08 and doom and quake and scummvm and the nes emulator and the gameboy emulator Dec 18 21:09:23 :o Dec 18 21:09:24 how do you think we got those running? Dec 18 21:09:26 i wanted the gameboy emu.. just been too lazy to get it Dec 18 21:09:44 I have the VBA and SNES emus. Dec 18 21:09:51 And Doom. Dec 18 21:10:00 doom was cool, i liked that Dec 18 21:10:10 but im a classic guy Dec 18 21:10:17 I don't like the keyboard layout of it, though. D: Dec 18 21:10:17 (save for my xbox360) Dec 18 21:10:42 i think, since i have nowhere else to be, ill go ahead and install vba Dec 18 21:10:44 Like, the button that should let me walk backwards instead LUNGES me forward. Dec 18 21:10:50 lol Dec 18 21:11:03 thats the slingshot button, didnt you know? Dec 18 21:11:11 Apparently. Dec 18 21:11:14 lol Dec 18 21:11:22 I never played the original Doom on PC. Dec 18 21:11:29 ok, so i install vba from the apps Dec 18 21:11:53 Then just get .gba .gbc or .gb ROMs to play. Dec 18 21:12:08 rick-home, next thing: DS emulator! Dec 18 21:12:10 im thinking.. whats a few good games.. Dec 18 21:12:30 mainly gba games.. Dec 18 21:12:39 pokemon ftw :P Dec 18 21:12:40 I have every GB-GBA Pokemon game on my phone. :D Dec 18 21:12:52 Even red rescue team in japanese. Dec 18 21:12:56 :O Dec 18 21:13:04 is rescue team even good? Dec 18 21:13:09 Oh, yes. Dec 18 21:13:22 Much better storyline than the regular games, I'll say that. Dec 18 21:13:50 I'm not afraid to admit that not a single PMD game has succeeded in making me cry. XP Dec 18 21:13:55 Er. Dec 18 21:14:07 Every game -has- succeeded. Dec 18 21:14:10 * KGF2009 worded that wrong. Dec 18 21:18:15 lol Dec 18 21:18:42 PMD? Dec 18 21:18:51 oh Dec 18 21:18:54 Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Dec 18 21:18:54 mystery dungeon Dec 18 21:18:59 yeah those games are pretty fly Dec 18 21:19:28 so, i cant find the gameboy in preware... i'm a failure lol Dec 18 21:19:39 visualboy, right? Dec 18 21:19:41 mikel__, Visual Boy Advance Dec 18 21:19:58 :/ im not entirely retarded, promise lol Dec 18 21:22:20 lol i like that preware'rs get VBA free, and people afraid to "hurt" their phones have to pay 5 bucks lol Dec 18 21:22:32 Mmhmm. Dec 18 21:22:45 OR people want to support the dev and get the appcat version Dec 18 21:23:01 true Dec 18 21:23:29 so, now that i have it, i just put roms into the USB drive, right Dec 18 21:23:46 yep Dec 18 21:25:28 ok, name a good game for gba that isnt pokemon lol Dec 18 21:25:36 something that you dont get bored with in two minutes Dec 18 21:25:54 It needs to be in /vba/roms Dec 18 21:25:58 Well. Dec 18 21:26:05 /media/internal/vba/roms/ Dec 18 21:26:07 mikel__ pacman Dec 18 21:26:20 I'm late to the discussion...THE timezone app can't get written until Palm fixes a couple of bugs Dec 18 21:26:41 pacman collection or pacman world Dec 18 21:27:16 sugardave, someone begs to differ. Dec 18 21:27:34 does it work offline and do the Chatham Islands correctly? Dec 18 21:27:41 that is the gold standard Dec 18 21:27:58 make sure it has Narnian time, as well! Dec 18 21:28:03 :P Dec 18 21:28:34 I know there are some timezone apps, but the Rod has indicated that they are all crap :P Dec 18 21:28:39 ignore me, im hyped up on coffee and sugar Dec 18 21:29:15 KGF2009: slideshow is a good app to do, I'm finishing up one right now Dec 18 21:29:27 Oh? Dec 18 21:29:43 indeed Dec 18 21:29:49 Yours is likely to be better. XD Dec 18 21:29:50 I need to re-write the image cacher Dec 18 21:30:08 ...Yeah, I never even thought of having a cache. XP Dec 18 21:30:10 so that it will abort downloads when they pick one to save or set as wallpaper Dec 18 21:30:24 * sugardave cheats. Dec 18 21:31:02 So if you're already up to making one, should I try a different idea? Dec 18 21:31:24 this is for a client, go for it Dec 18 21:31:46 keep going, KFG2009 Dec 18 21:32:58 KGF2009: if the images are remote, you might want to cache them so they don't have to be downloaded every time the app launches Dec 18 21:33:00 Okay, first thing's first...How do I get a list of the albums listed in the Photos app? System service? Dec 18 21:33:10 Ah. Dec 18 21:33:12 I was thinking local. Dec 18 21:34:23 Here's how the Photos app works (somewhat) if you make a directory in /media/internal and it contains images, it's now an 'album' in the photos app Dec 18 21:34:52 So I'm gonna have to find the albums myself? Dec 18 21:35:25 Or.. Dec 18 21:35:37 The code from the photos app -is- open source.. Dec 18 21:36:19 yeah, there might be a better way to grab them Dec 18 21:36:23 I'd look in there Dec 18 21:36:47 Ah..The one thing I miss while developing on Windows. Novaterm. Dec 18 21:37:01 i got castlevania :) Dec 18 21:37:07 KGF2009: putty will do Dec 18 21:37:07 Mine only deals with the content the client configures, and I make a folder based on the vendor name, then a .folder under that based on the app id to keep the photos from appearing until they explicitly save it Dec 18 21:37:26 Makes sense. Dec 18 21:37:34 b0bben_, PuTTY to where? Dec 18 21:37:54 localhost 5522, I think Dec 18 21:38:01 yeah, something like that Dec 18 21:38:10 That did it. Thanks. Dec 18 21:38:15 so... anyone know of a theme that restores the ORIGINAL palm images, like from a bad theme removal? Dec 18 21:38:29 mikel__: not sure, never messed with themes Dec 18 21:38:35 Same. Dec 18 21:38:53 you may want to back up your stuff and restore from the doctor Dec 18 21:38:54 k.. im out guys.. Dec 18 21:38:55 tc Dec 18 21:39:06 See ya. Dec 18 21:39:44 Darn you, emulator and your lack of nano! Dec 18 21:39:52 vi is there Dec 18 21:40:02 KGF2009: http://developer.palm.com/blog/2010/08/debugging-pdk-applications/ Dec 18 21:40:15 putty -P 10022 root@localhost Dec 18 21:40:28 5522 worked fine. :o Dec 18 21:40:47 KGF2009: but you should also have novaterm on the machine you're on Dec 18 21:41:15 ? Dec 18 21:41:25 I was told novaterm was unavailable on Windows. Dec 18 21:41:35 hmm Dec 18 21:41:38 that sucks Dec 18 21:42:27 oh, the port 10022 is only available when you have PDK installed and run pdk-device-install Dec 18 21:42:30 I read your earlier comment as that you are not currently on Windows, and therefore miss using novaterm Dec 18 21:42:32 didn't even read the page ;) Dec 18 21:44:35 I can't seem to find how Palm gets the albums.. Dec 18 21:47:04 I know it can be done because I've seen a third-party app do it.. Dec 18 21:49:52 theres a service call i believe Dec 18 21:52:12 possibly to filemanager Dec 18 21:52:32 KGF2009, do you mean the picker? Dec 18 21:53:01 I just need something to give me a list of albums and then a list of the images within. Dec 18 21:53:55 http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1995&Itemid=238 Dec 18 22:13:46 Found it! Dec 18 22:15:53 ugh.. love it when your testing something out and you get no output and no errors.. Dec 18 22:18:10 Fun. Dec 18 22:20:24 dawm: http://ares.palm.com/AresDebug/ is your friend Dec 18 22:20:28 mine too! Dec 18 22:20:43 oh no im not even bothering with the emu, just testing canvas stuff in chrome Dec 18 22:20:45 much quicker Dec 18 22:20:58 ohh Dec 18 22:35:17 holy cow. setting the renderlimit on a list to really high slows down performance ridiculously Dec 18 22:35:36 fyi Dec 18 22:42:30 woo Dec 18 22:42:33 animated pngs ;D Dec 18 22:53:22 * solix is bored. need some beginners palm-sdk guides to read... Dec 18 22:54:13 hey sineOt... hows you doing? Dec 18 22:54:42 you ever get that error fixed you were working on all night yesterday? Dec 18 22:55:06 Nope :I Dec 18 22:55:12 Not looking forward to trying to fix it Dec 18 22:55:17 oh.. :/ Dec 18 22:55:28 I thought it might be an issue with my device, but I can duplicate it on all 3 phones I have access to :/ Dec 18 22:55:31 It's like WTF Dec 18 22:56:06 I hear you, I only read the chat before crashing last night, bout the same time you hung it up.. looked like a real pita.. Dec 18 22:56:08 yeah Dec 18 22:56:32 Because I've changed literally -zero- code related to this since the last time I was working on it, and it worked fine then Dec 18 22:56:40 those are the worst.. no rhym, or reason.. you get the logs??

Dec 18 23:39:17 My Boxee Remote. Dec 18 23:39:26 Works fine in XBMC, so I guess it's a Boxee problem? Dec 18 23:45:12 leo42_ Dec 18 23:46:14 man, startTracking....sometimes i just wanna stab it to death Dec 18 23:46:48 fstab it to death. Dec 18 23:47:00 oh yeah Dec 18 23:47:29 someone plz remind me, where do I report bugs to palm in most effective way? Dec 18 23:48:54 * viSolix shrugs Dec 18 23:53:21 Forums is apparently the best way... And really only way Dec 18 23:53:26 hey, does the EPR and patch recovery stuff usually, if not always fix the error when a patch won't install.. I've only used it once for the Advanced Config Launcher (way worth it).. but now have just two needed patches that clash (vertical percent & a phone app for handeling soecific calls) that I'd reeally like to have back.. anyone? Dec 18 23:54:39 there are some ppl here that are helpful too, but I can't/wont speak for them, forums at least, and maybe email oc. shrug. Dec 18 23:55:29 Er, soecfic=specific Dec 18 23:57:06 Hm. Dec 18 23:57:30 Is there any reason why with some AJAX calls to one IP would... Stall, but to other IPs would work fine? Dec 18 23:57:35 This doesn't make sense. Dec 18 23:58:00 erm, the two patches I mentioned are not the two that are clashing afaik, they are just the two that I would like... :) Dec 18 23:58:23 I started logging with "onCompletion" for my AJAX calls, and if I'm calling my Netbook, onCompletion fires, but if I'm calling my desktop, it won't. Dec 19 00:02:56 ugh broke my sh*t.. doh! Dec 19 00:03:08 What a head scratcher.

Dec 19 00:08:57 These logs, what in the hell. :B Dec 19 00:09:57 dawm: same thing.. Dec 19 00:10:36 device or emulator Dec 19 00:10:44 device Dec 19 00:10:45 Tman: system-log-leve info ? Dec 19 00:10:48 I suppose the lumberjack app wouldn't be helpful? Dec 19 00:11:05 did you set the system log level via palm-log? Dec 19 00:11:11 yeah just tried that, it worked Dec 19 00:11:17 is logging enabled in the app (framework.json) Dec 19 00:11:34 my understanding was that an app's log level could be higher than the system log level Dec 19 00:11:49 apparently that's not the case Dec 19 00:11:51 This is so non-sensical Dec 19 00:12:09 sine i say you just give up and make a bobble head Dec 19 00:12:24 SineOt: firewall on desktop machine etc? Dec 19 00:12:32 Nope Dec 19 00:12:43 works from phone browser? Dec 19 00:13:16 SineOt: do you have any logs on the desktop machine? what kind of server are you running? Dec 19 00:15:21 It's Boxee... Which is built on XBMC. XBMC, the requests get sent on time... Boxee, they don't do anything until I close the app on my phone. Dec 19 00:15:48 Making the calls via HTTPClient on my desktop, they function fine and respond quickly... Dec 19 00:15:53 I just can't figure out what's going on. Dec 19 00:16:19 If it was an issue with Boxee caching the responses, why would they suddenly go through when I closed the app on my phone? Dec 19 00:26:05 hmm Dec 19 00:26:09 tough one Dec 19 00:26:38 It -sounds- like an issue with WebOS Dec 19 00:26:45 but I have no idea where to start looking Dec 19 00:27:34 enable debug in boxee and see what's coming thru? Dec 19 00:28:57 nothing, until I close the app on my phone-then it dumps all the Ajax requests I've made at once Dec 19 00:29:28 http://webos.pastebin.com/1ZQ6mdAX this shows the logs for Boxee, then the logs for XBMC Dec 19 00:36:15 SineOt: same version of boxee on both machines? Dec 19 00:36:22 or is your netbook running xbmc? Dec 19 00:37:25 http://support.boxee.tv/entries/43963-i-ve-been-asked-by-boxee-support-to-send-debug-logs-how-do-i-do-that Dec 19 00:37:41 try turning that on and see what boxee thinks of your requests Dec 19 00:38:05 anyone knows if the free pre plus programme is still active? Dec 19 00:38:43 would love a dev phone...current pre is my work cell :) Dec 19 00:38:53 Two OSX machines running Boxee, netbook is running XBMC Dec 19 00:40:59 Huh Dec 19 00:41:23 so it hits onLoading, which maps to Initializing the request... But never -sends- the request. Dec 19 00:42:05 Anyone know how I could make an app for Cleverbot? There's no actual API to my knowledge.. Dec 19 00:42:15 Ffffff Dec 19 00:42:26 SineOt: so you're getting somewhere now? Dec 19 00:50:56 it's just mindboggling how fast palm developed webos and pre, what was it like 2yrs?

Dec 19 01:06:13 Not really Dec 19 01:06:15 Or am I just screwing up a lot? Dec 19 01:06:20 If you know Mojo it's not THAT bad Dec 19 01:06:25 but if you don't then it's a pain in the ass Dec 19 01:06:37 Define 'know'.

Dec 19 01:07:42 Yeah, I started doing apps by hand with nano and Notepad++; but I think I might do better with a visual interface. Dec 19 01:07:44 5:06. Dec 19 01:07:49 oh ok Dec 19 01:07:53 PM. Dec 19 01:07:55 halo reach allnighter thingy Dec 19 01:08:02 http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Community/promotions/lexusallnightersweeps/home Dec 19 01:08:56 Aha.

Dec 19 01:09:27 i use notepad++ for quick edits Dec 19 01:09:36 but komodoIDE regularly Dec 19 01:10:44 Well, okay I guess that solves things really Dec 19 01:10:51 It's for sure a webOS problem Dec 19 01:11:21 Boxee receives and handles the messages like it should when you quit the remote on webOS Dec 19 01:12:21 If anyone wants to try helping me out with debugging this, just PM me and I'll toss an IPK your way Dec 19 01:13:29 mojo so dope Dec 19 01:14:24 very cool.. the EPR worked for everything i wanted back on mypre.. :) Dec 19 01:14:39 its good to know this.. ;) Dec 19 01:15:36 hey KGF2009, i was busy earlier, when you were talkingabout deciding on an 'app'.. but Dec 19 01:16:04 Yeah? Dec 19 01:17:16 for me, where to start, is being "what i personally (on my pre) would like to be different", easier patch install(bulk) what ever (i know this is relatively easy with what is available, but the point is striking the interest from my self first, then i have the drive, and chances are (on my level) there are others that would share the same want.. using this as practice/experience of course.. Dec 19 01:17:29 just sayin.. casue nobody asked me.. ;) cheers Dec 19 01:17:41 * KGF2009 nods. Dec 19 01:17:59 I think this might be an issue with AJAX.request... Hrm Dec 19 01:19:26 and picking up the real nitty gritty stuff on the side.. to make it more 'sensible' for bigger and better apps/patches... and reading the daily logs from #webos helps, sometimes there are very informative chats, especially when the "top guys" are discusing their projects... even if you dont "get" what they are all referring to, it will help later, when your "there".. neways.. Dec 19 01:19:29 re SineOt Dec 19 01:22:09 i have the "WebOSBook", but i dont think its all uptodate anymore, its a good read though, just for getting something out of it, (but i cant say that out of experience), just sayin Dec 19 01:35:18 is there anything about this plugin that could possibly be causing webOS/Luna to crash? Dec 19 01:35:25 http://webos.pastebin.com/Dne1Zicf Dec 19 01:35:25 i would like to find a txt file of ALL the english words that refuse the "I before E, except after C"..
