**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 27 02:59:57 2011 Feb 27 03:03:06 mattsmcnulty: yum, their food is awesome Feb 27 03:03:18 sure is Feb 27 03:05:15 Marinated Hawaiian Tuna “Poke” with Fried Wonton Chips $12.50 Feb 27 03:05:23 IIRC that was really good. Feb 27 03:05:39 sure is Feb 27 03:05:41 I ordered that Feb 27 03:05:51 cool Feb 27 03:10:04 mattsmcnulty: I guess I'm lucky I haven't gotten around to learning enyo.. except, well, I guess it depends on how long it will be until we can distribute enyo apps. right now it's kind of a catch-22 Feb 27 03:10:15 err haven't gotten around to learning mojo that is Feb 27 03:10:17 it wont be that long Feb 27 03:10:27 do tell.... Feb 27 03:10:39 mattsmcnulty: good to hear, I won't bother learning mojo then :) Feb 27 03:11:00 that's all you get Feb 27 03:11:11 summer ;-) Feb 27 03:11:41 mattsmcnulty: can you say whether we can use enyo for phone apps when the touchpad comes out? Feb 27 03:11:45 it's not even spring yet Feb 27 03:11:49 hmm. Guess I'll be sending a few emails to pdc@palm.com when my Pre2 arrives :) Feb 27 03:12:00 destinal: no I can not say that Feb 27 03:12:09 interesting... pre- 2 has an actdate of 6/19/09 Feb 27 03:12:15 but it would obviously be one way to clean up the story for devs :-) Feb 27 03:12:19 mattsmcnulty: oh well, had to try :) Feb 27 03:12:30 haeffb: hmm, is that the pre2? or is that from the pre-? Feb 27 03:12:37 pre- #2 Feb 27 03:12:46 oh. gotcha Feb 27 03:12:51 pre- #1 can't find wifi networks Feb 27 03:13:10 maybe I didn't reconnect the wifi antenna correctly Feb 27 03:13:31 it would be a very good idea for devs if we can get enyo out for 1.x plus asap Feb 27 03:13:47 mattsmcnulty: agree! Feb 27 03:13:51 +1 Feb 27 03:14:10 I will say that learning mojo doesn't make a ton of sense to me Feb 27 03:14:38 mattsmcnulty: yeah, would rather avoid learning things I'll have to unlearn / relearn :) Feb 27 03:14:41 it would also be a very good idea for devs if they could write apps in enyo and distribute them to other platforms Feb 27 03:14:53 yes it would Feb 27 03:15:23 if you listen to me on feb9 it is almost like I am trying to say that and it was changed late in the story Feb 27 03:15:23 agree! Feb 27 03:15:24 who knows Feb 27 03:15:34 almost :-) Feb 27 03:16:02 ....jeopard theme plays while we wait until..."summer"... Feb 27 03:16:07 jeopardy Feb 27 03:16:28 I would expect more news on this before summer Feb 27 03:17:10 There's something slightly scary about the idea of enyo on other platforms though. There's the benefit of it bringing more developers for a cross-platform framework, but you lose the uniqueness of webOS. Would be interesting, though! Feb 27 03:17:11 perhaps, but I expected to be able to buy a Pre3 Feb 10... :) Feb 27 03:17:42 Geo-party! Feb 27 03:17:44 leo let a few people down Feb 27 03:18:08 chpwn: I would say you are right if you are talking about using a 3rd party framework across devices Feb 27 03:18:15 if it is a webos framework, maybe not Feb 27 03:18:53 we shall see Feb 27 03:19:14 mattsmcnulty: I mean, if enyo ran on (say) Android and webOS and iOS, it'd be the obvious choice since it would be a) powerful b) cross-platform Feb 27 03:19:27 chpwn: you check out the early access forum? Feb 27 03:19:33 But then it is no longer a benefit of webOS, since you wouldn't even need webOS to use it. Feb 27 03:19:36 because devs there have been going nuts since 2/10 Feb 27 03:19:39 installing on everything Feb 27 03:19:40 mattsmcnulty: I'm not in the early access program. Feb 27 03:19:45 apply Feb 27 03:19:49 I will :) Feb 27 03:19:51 why not? Feb 27 03:19:58 there's no reason not to :) Feb 27 03:20:05 it is a benefit to webos if there are a ton of apps Feb 27 03:20:10 I dont have a webOS device. Feb 27 03:20:12 having a x-platform story likely helps that Feb 27 03:20:23 chpwn: doesn't matter. apply Feb 27 03:20:45 what the heck. why isn't this "index"'d. Feb 27 03:21:11 mattsmcnulty: i will :) and I'm getting a pre2 next week from the free device program so i can really get started Feb 27 03:21:22 (I was going to wait to apply, but i guess I'll do that now :p) Feb 27 03:21:35 nah, do it now and start developing now in the browser Feb 27 03:22:05 it is now my job to make sure you guys are happy :-) Feb 27 03:22:24 good luck Feb 27 03:22:31 touchpads for everyone!!! Feb 27 03:22:39 yeah! Feb 27 03:22:42 heh Feb 27 03:22:46 also: is the "2.0 early access" and "enyo early access" the same thing? Feb 27 03:22:46 well, at least for me, Tibfib and sugardave Feb 27 03:22:55 we'll then make sure everyone else is happy Feb 27 03:23:03 ha Feb 27 03:23:09 early access is early access Feb 27 03:23:15 oh, cool Feb 27 03:23:15 * Tibfib is willing to do that Feb 27 03:23:20 * chpwn writes email. Feb 27 03:23:21 it wasn't my job before but is now Feb 27 03:23:31 say "mcnulty said to email to get in" Feb 27 03:23:32 yeah, I'm down Feb 27 03:23:40 should help grease the wheels Feb 27 03:24:03 ok, I think I'm ready hardware-wise to sprintify this pre2 Feb 27 03:24:13 now for the software parts. Feb 27 03:24:27 mattsmcnulty! got the device in time for scale Feb 27 03:24:37 thanks! Feb 27 03:25:01 halfhalo: my pleasure Feb 27 03:26:15 hah. I can't believe I thought this album art setting would work on the first try. Feb 27 03:26:25 ok, dinner ime now with the palm peeps here Feb 27 03:26:44 any of you hear from richard kerris yet? he's a good dude Feb 27 03:26:48 halfhalo: slip something into their water. get the info's Feb 27 03:26:53 halfhalo: say hi for me Feb 27 03:27:02 mattsmcnulty: is he the head of dev relations now? Feb 27 03:27:17 * sugardave hasn't heard from Richard Kerris yet. Feb 27 03:27:31 DOES THAT MEAN I'M NOT SPECIAL ENOUGH?!?! Feb 27 03:27:33 :( Feb 27 03:27:58 sugardave: I'm not special either Feb 27 03:28:03 me either Feb 27 03:28:16 on the other hand, we're all getting free touchpads, so that's nice. Feb 27 03:28:29 lol Feb 27 03:28:44 yeah, that makes me feel a bit better Feb 27 03:29:13 agreed Feb 27 03:29:21 almost "happy" Feb 27 03:29:31 I am sure when it is coming out we will have something for devs Feb 27 03:30:46 mattsmcnulty: I hope that gets announced before I buy it Feb 27 03:31:30 doing laundry. setting aside 'funky tuxedo pants' from feb 9 to dry clean Feb 27 03:31:35 "Enyo creator fails to deny free TouchPads for developers." Feb 27 03:31:40 hee Feb 27 03:32:09 creator my ass, that's alllll scott (on my team) Feb 27 03:32:14 * halfhalo told them hi Feb 27 03:32:28 he's the genius behind the visual designer part of ares and enyo Feb 27 03:32:40 nice Feb 27 03:33:12 and a very good friend Feb 27 03:34:05 does he go to the dev days? Feb 27 03:34:12 he was with me on stage in NYC Feb 27 03:34:14 big dude Feb 27 03:34:24 he and I have worked together with a number of other people on my team for a while Feb 27 03:34:30 he was the one who did the demos Feb 27 03:34:30 * Tibfib doesn't remember Feb 27 03:34:37 ah, I'll have to look it up later Feb 27 03:34:50 * Tibfib hopes for austin dev day Feb 27 03:34:51 * haeffb had too many libations at devdayNYC Feb 27 03:35:04 sorry, I was looking at the screen and not you guys Feb 27 03:35:08 barely remember myself being there, much less some big dude Feb 27 03:35:12 sugardave: not remember. Feb 27 03:35:18 hahaha Feb 27 03:35:23 not forgiven* Feb 27 03:35:25 oh, I barely remember too Feb 27 03:35:33 they made me wait until the last segment of the last day Feb 27 03:35:33 I typed what I just had read.. not what I was thinking Feb 27 03:35:35 which sucked Feb 27 03:35:44 should I leave this pre- 2 activated or go back to my original pre- ? Feb 27 03:36:01 probably go back Feb 27 03:37:40 I need to start schmoozing Ben and see if he can influence the next Dev Day to be in Austin Feb 27 03:38:03 ha Feb 27 03:38:13 Ben is on my team so he does what I want! (not really) Feb 27 03:38:26 YES. finally got it to work Feb 27 03:38:29 ben's good people Feb 27 03:38:33 next devday should be in *insert home town*!

I second that Feb 27 03:39:31 me too Feb 27 03:39:48 California has already been blessed Feb 27 03:40:01 so both oceanic coasts...now we need the gulf of mexico area Feb 27 03:40:03 we need a midwest one! Feb 27 03:40:08 midwest! Feb 27 03:40:11 (Austin works too) Feb 27 03:40:19 rick-away: would like Kansas City Feb 27 03:40:20 midwest would only be an ok choice in like may or sept Feb 27 03:40:21 and it can NOT be beginning of June Feb 27 03:40:31 I am in cabo at the end of may though Feb 27 03:40:39 Sept it is!

Feb 27 03:43:46 if any palm people are here, do you hate/like/didn't know about my old ProSwitcher app? Feb 27 03:44:10 (http://rpetri.ch/cydia/proswitcher/) Feb 27 03:44:50 didn't know Feb 27 03:45:15 hey wait, that reminds me of webos Feb 27 03:45:32 yeah, it's a clone Feb 27 03:45:48 lol Feb 27 03:46:01 :p Feb 27 03:49:13 chpwn: yeah, I'd heard about that. nice. Feb 27 03:49:30 chpwn: are you an iOS -> webos convert or working on both at the same time? Feb 27 03:49:43 destinal: I'm going to try and do both. Feb 27 03:49:51 although I was Palm OS before I was iOS Feb 27 03:50:56 I have an iphone as well as pre and pre2 but developing for iPhone is kind of painful at times Feb 27 03:52:03 sugardave: we need a Denver devday Feb 27 03:55:24 I'd be down for a denver one.. Feb 27 03:56:05 devdaydownunder Feb 27 03:58:00 well... Feb 27 03:58:21 I got the Pixi replaced today, and will probably have to get this one replaced :/ Feb 27 04:02:13 destinal: I like Denver :) Feb 27 04:02:32 nashville would be better Feb 27 04:08:59 so... what's up? Feb 27 04:11:27 In 1960 there were 16,067 gambling spots in Nevada. By 1999, this number rose to 205,726 slots which would be one slot for every 10 people residing there. Feb 27 04:12:28 and The average Chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it Feb 27 04:12:56 5000 useless facts is so funny :p Feb 27 04:17:53 PatrickC_Pre: same could be said for any food you eat. insect parts and dead skin cells and all kinds of tasty things. just extra protein :) we eat probably ~12 insects a year in our sleep too. yay. (also yeah that app is awesome :) ) Feb 27 04:18:21 * oil hurls Feb 27 04:18:35 whoever made it made some... how do I say it... bad apps... Feb 27 04:19:47 Bugs aren't really that bad. :I Feb 27 04:20:40 Is this not the coolest thing ever?- http://www.whatisblik.com/shop/asteroids Feb 27 04:21:33 no? Feb 27 04:22:31 :( Feb 27 04:22:48 kinda, but its not the "coolest thing ever" Feb 27 04:22:58 the Pre3/TouchPad is :) Feb 27 04:23:07 no was not the right answer? Feb 27 04:23:25 double negatives? Feb 27 04:23:42 yea, cant wait Feb 27 04:24:08 oil, you have succesfully confused me Feb 27 04:24:15 this guy is emailing me telling me that my app doesn't use the LED... Feb 27 04:24:36 and doesn't know what "Version 1.4.5, 2.0.1, or 2.1" is... Feb 27 04:25:26 then you know he's probably on 1.4.5 :p Feb 27 04:25:52 he is Feb 27 04:26:00 I had to tell him how to find out Feb 27 04:28:34 "What is Preware? Under the Reset Options?" Feb 27 04:29:01 Fudge. got a js problem. anyone up for it? Feb 27 04:29:27 I am :p Feb 27 04:29:31 Tibfib: Probably won't be any help but I'll shoot it aimlessly until something hits Feb 27 04:32:29 thanks. so basically, in Koto, the album art of albums/songs/artists is a property of the obj and I have to call a simple function to "extract" it. The function "return"s the album art. The issue is, I'm adding a way for users to pick different artwork and I need to query the database in the "getArtwork" function. but I can't "return" the artwork. I have to use a callback func. But that doesn't Feb 27 04:32:29 work very well with lists. Feb 27 04:32:33 I directed him to http://en.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Feb 27 04:32:37 Any other solutions? Feb 27 04:33:02 I currently have the callbackfunc reload the list. Feb 27 04:33:09 Wait, why are you letting them pick different art? Feb 27 04:33:14 koto player Feb 27 04:33:18 album art look up Feb 27 04:33:27 via google... Feb 27 04:34:03 yeah, but... that's something that could easily be managed far better on a full PC Feb 27 04:34:28 that's not the issue SineOt. Feb 27 04:36:11 anyone have any ideas? Feb 27 04:36:13 nah, I know it's not. It's just my input on it :p Feb 27 04:38:05 arggg Feb 27 04:39:55 wish I could help tib, but you saw my coding skillz lol Feb 27 04:41:49 thanks Feb 27 04:42:15 how's it comin tib? Feb 27 04:42:28 like, koto lite Feb 27 04:42:39 oh. that'd done... waiting on palm so I can submit it Feb 27 04:42:45 that's* Feb 27 04:42:58 what you waiting on them for? Feb 27 04:43:07 can't you just submit i? Feb 27 04:43:15 s/i/it/ Feb 27 04:43:16 something's screwed up and I can't submit it. Feb 27 04:43:21 hmm Feb 27 04:43:21 getting rejected. Feb 27 04:43:24 stinks Feb 27 04:44:19 so, I tell this guy about Preware, and he asks "What is Preware? Is it under the Reset Options?" Feb 27 04:44:33 Tibfib: I am unclear on what you're trying to do Feb 27 04:44:39 sugardave: what part? Feb 27 04:44:52 can someone review an app, and not leave an actual review? like only rate it 1 star? Feb 27 04:45:04 PatrickC_Pre: no Feb 27 04:45:26 can you check my Fog Horn app, it looks like someone did it to that one Feb 27 04:45:39 kinda busy :) Feb 27 04:45:43 1 star rating, no reviews Feb 27 04:45:44 ok Feb 27 04:45:50 maybe later? Feb 27 04:45:59 The PDK icon always makes me think "you /can/ use C++ to write your apps, but D=" Feb 27 04:46:11 Tibfib: so, you have some artwork that is arbitrary, but you want to allow users to change it? Feb 27 04:46:27 there is the album artwork from the media indexer. Feb 27 04:46:39 this is an automatic deal? Feb 27 04:46:41 which is just a property of the objects Feb 27 04:46:48 artist.img or so Feb 27 04:46:53 okay Feb 27 04:47:27 the "img" has to be extracted from extractfs, so I have a simple function to do that Feb 27 04:47:28 and then what? Feb 27 04:47:36 okay Feb 27 04:47:54 so in list formatters I can say "return this.getAlbumArt(image)" Feb 27 04:48:14 alright Feb 27 04:48:30 but with the option for alternate artwork, I have to query the database.. and therefore can no longer "return" the image Feb 27 04:48:47 I have to use a callbackfunc Feb 27 04:49:01 ah, hmmm, let me think Feb 27 04:49:09 make sense though? Feb 27 04:49:23 not to me :p Feb 27 04:49:23 yeah, you want to return an async result as your formatter value Feb 27 04:49:33 how do I do that? Feb 27 04:50:28 thinking Feb 27 04:51:24 I was thinking of having a loop get all the album artwork, then reload the list. Feb 27 04:52:13 sugardave, any meta-doc experience? Feb 27 04:52:23 or tibfib Feb 27 04:52:28 nope Feb 27 04:52:30 ok Feb 27 04:52:33 not really, no Feb 27 04:52:37 ok Feb 27 04:53:00 someone is trying to do something with it and oil, rwhitby hasn't answered yet Feb 27 04:53:09 who else should I ask? Feb 27 04:53:32 not sure Feb 27 04:53:40 hmm... Feb 27 04:54:14 Tibfib: so...what are you returning from the formatter, an image element or just some string? Feb 27 04:54:28 the path to the file (string) Feb 27 04:54:42 PatrickC_Pre: metadoctor questions best answered in #webos-internals Feb 27 04:54:48 ok Feb 27 04:55:05 I know that, I'm trying to get someone over there to help me :) Feb 27 04:55:20 Tibfib: well, you might want to return an image element instead, then you could set the result of the onsucess from your db call to update the src of that particular element Feb 27 04:57:22 so in the formatter do "imageObj = new Image(); getAlbumArt(imageObj); return imageObj"? Feb 27 04:57:30 night all Feb 27 04:57:34 goodnight Feb 27 04:58:15 then the in "getAlbumArt" have it update the source? Feb 27 04:58:37 yeah, I think something like that might work Feb 27 04:58:49 hmm.. would new Image() work how I want it to? Feb 27 04:59:01 like in a formatter? Feb 27 04:59:07 sure Feb 27 04:59:17 okay lemme try this Feb 27 04:59:21 will report back Feb 27 04:59:22 thanks! Feb 27 04:59:25 np Feb 27 05:01:47 is there a way to turn the data connection on via novaterm? Feb 27 05:05:51 sugardave: so do I just set the src of the audioObj? or do I have to reload it? Feb 27 05:06:27 you mean image element? Feb 27 05:06:34 yeah Feb 27 05:06:42 element.src = newSource should do it Feb 27 05:06:44 * Tibfib is used to audioObj Feb 27 05:07:09 hmm, so what do I pass with the formatter? Feb 27 05:07:24 imageObj? or this.controller.get("image")? Feb 27 05:07:30 because passing imageObj doesn't seem to work Feb 27 05:07:36 I would build my image object with my formatter Feb 27 05:07:38 oh, hmm Feb 27 05:07:52 can you pastebing your formatter and item template? Feb 27 05:10:18 http://webos.pastebin.com/dCQ574fM Feb 27 05:12:14 Tibfib: Instead of using #{-albumArtFormatted} as a src attribute in an image tag, you are now returning an image element, so I think you just need a line for #{albumArtFormatted} Feb 27 05:12:21 oh duh Feb 27 05:12:27 silly me :) Feb 27 05:12:33 * sugardave hopes it works. Feb 27 05:12:47 can I set the class from the image obj? Feb 27 05:13:08 .className probably? Feb 27 05:13:27 sure, img.addClassName(className); Feb 27 05:16:12 sugardave: not working :( Feb 27 05:17:02 bah Feb 27 05:17:41 formatter now looks like this: http://webos.pastebin.com/SRUFJjrf Feb 27 05:17:56 oh, and template is fixed Feb 27 05:19:27 erg, I thought I did something like this before... Feb 27 05:24:15 Tibfib: sorry, I can't think clearly on this tonight Feb 27 05:24:24 no worries Feb 27 05:24:27 thanks a ton for your help so far Feb 27 05:35:36 if i wanted to create an app that streams an internet radio, what's the best way to go about it? create an app that launches the webOS Streaming Music Player? Feb 27 05:36:22 I really don't want to go that route, because I want to have the background and then a play/stop button and not use the webOS Streaming Music Player that launches another card Feb 27 05:45:04 yo Feb 27 05:49:57 webos 2.1 rocks my face off Feb 27 06:00:33 how would i tell an
