**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 20 02:59:57 2011 Mar 20 03:00:03 ctbeiser: wise Mar 20 03:00:23 http://db.tt/494XMiq stupid but I like it Mar 20 03:00:36 also, none of what we say is meant to be taken personally...just critique to help you make it better. Use or discard as you see fit. Mar 20 03:01:07 haeffb: I can place it, I prefer it this way tbh. People saying "it works" isn't really helping me forward Mar 20 03:01:19 right Mar 20 03:01:38 More nitpicking: sliding off a task feels like just deleting it, not having the satisfaction of having done it, and is easy to do accidentally; I'd add checkboxes, and standard "delete/cancel" buttons on sliding it off. Mar 20 03:01:45 pressing a new task button isn't a problem. It's how I do it in Done! and Noted! and Myles and.... Mar 20 03:02:07 myles?! yet another one?! :P Mar 20 03:02:14 swiping list items is, by Palm UI Guidelines, for delete Mar 20 03:02:18 haeffb: are you the sole producer of tasks apps? :P ^_^ Mar 20 03:02:27 myles isn't a tasks app Mar 20 03:02:44 As a user of The Hit List, I see it as a problem; I'd rather have it be something where I don't need the button. Mar 20 03:03:04 there's a distinction I tried to make with deleting. A delete requires you to explicitly delete it. By sliding it away, you 'delete' it from that list, which is a list showing you your active tasks. As such, you must've finished it. Mar 20 03:03:14 Done! allows "Just Type" within the app Mar 20 03:03:26 haeffb: for which feature? Mar 20 03:03:31 * madnificent would like to have searches that way some day Mar 20 03:03:32 search/add Mar 20 03:03:53 Done does both. search until you hit "enter" then add Mar 20 03:04:00 hey guys Mar 20 03:04:04 i'm trying to do an openal program Mar 20 03:04:10 That said, I'm a bit of a fantatic when it comes to GTD UI; I'm using a Mac just because I can't get anything done with any program other than The Hit List or Things. Mar 20 03:04:11 which, if I may say, is an awesome way to handle it Mar 20 03:04:12 haeffb: that's briliant! I'm not allowed to steal that idea, I guess Mar 20 03:04:42 Come to think of it, a quick action to add an action would be amazingly great. Mar 20 03:04:44 nah, go ahead. I'm not possessive of ideas Mar 20 03:04:46 but code::blocks is giving me a pita Mar 20 03:04:52 so i'm trying m$compiler Mar 20 03:04:58 ctbeiser: "a quick action to add an action"? Mar 20 03:05:19 ctbeiser: Done and Noted will both have QA's under 2.x Mar 20 03:05:22 haeffb: will still take me a year to free up time for doing it :) Mar 20 03:05:40 Quick actions are the things in just type like New Message. Mar 20 03:05:56 like universal search Mar 20 03:06:14 ctbeiser: that's your inbox Mar 20 03:06:32 madnificent: this is from webOS card view, NOT from within your app Mar 20 03:06:34 ctbeiser: that's essential to GTD btw :) things that aren't written down completely go there. Mar 20 03:06:42 haeffb: ? Mar 20 03:06:47 Quick Actions Mar 20 03:06:51 in 2.x Mar 20 03:07:01 haeffb: oh, I won't support 2.x yet Mar 20 03:07:01 like universal search in 1.x Mar 20 03:07:20 yeah, but think about how awesome it is... :) Mar 20 03:07:23 madnificent: http://db.tt/494XMiq Mar 20 03:07:29 haeffb: that's an awesome feature yeah1 Mar 20 03:07:32 ! Mar 20 03:07:49 I open my phone, start typing without having Done! running. up pops a list of apps. tap Done! and a new task is created. Mar 20 03:08:32 anyway, getting off the subject Mar 20 03:08:44 I'm tired :( Mar 20 03:08:48 haeffb: that's really really cool, if palm gives me a pre2, it'll get in! Mar 20 03:08:55 hope you like the outcome.. Mar 20 03:09:01 I tapped new task, entered a title, swiped back and... nothing shows up. Mar 20 03:09:09 frustrating Mar 20 03:09:15 where'd my task go? Mar 20 03:09:30 (it's because I didn't enter a context) Mar 20 03:09:32 thomaschaaf: shows the icon now Mar 20 03:09:45 (but I'm a new user and don't know that I have to enter a context) Mar 20 03:09:48 haeffb: yeah, perhaps a note on the bottom informing you about that? Mar 20 03:10:03 how about defaulting to one of the contexts Mar 20 03:10:08 * madnificent seems te prefer users to be efficient instead of having a low learning curve Mar 20 03:10:20 haeffb: no, that'll ruin the normal usecase Mar 20 03:10:35 perhaps I could do something like that for the first few tasks... Mar 20 03:10:37 so, I hit New Task again Mar 20 03:10:45 FYI, I almost certainly won't actually be using GTD on my phone for the present, because I'm tied to The Hit List. The closest I'll get is writing myself an app that create tasks via Applescript. Mar 20 03:10:56 and down at the bottom of the scene is a "Contexts" group Mar 20 03:11:32 I tap that Mar 20 03:11:34 madnificent: tomorrow I will add some more fall back like when no gps is there or no internet Mar 20 03:11:55 then I get something that says "Add context" Mar 20 03:11:57 I tap that Mar 20 03:11:58 thomaschaaf: cool, /msg me if you want me to try it out :) Mar 20 03:11:58 then I will post it for minimun price in app catalog and free in web distribution Mar 20 03:12:21 now, there's a list of contexts Mar 20 03:12:30 I tap one. it takes me to edit context Mar 20 03:12:33 sigh. Mar 20 03:12:39 I will be so angry in a couple hours Mar 20 03:13:55 thomaschaaf: why angry? Mar 20 03:14:07 haeffb: it's 4:!1 Mar 20 03:14:10 4:11 am Mar 20 03:14:18 oh. right. Mar 20 03:14:24 you should get some sleep Mar 20 03:14:26 I will get woken at around 9.. Mar 20 03:14:32 ugh. Mar 20 03:14:55 * haeffb slept from 3am to 6am a couple of days ago - in a hospital waiting room Mar 20 03:15:01 was not a good day the next day Mar 20 03:15:22 madnificent: did you follow what I was doing above? Mar 20 03:15:54 sorry, what did I miss? Mar 20 03:16:00 haeffb: I received to I tap one. it takes me to edit context Mar 20 03:16:03 (not the best moment to loose the connection) Mar 20 03:16:16 then I said "sigh" Mar 20 03:16:19 I swipe back and tap more carefully Mar 20 03:16:32 and tap all the contexts Mar 20 03:16:46 then swipe back to Quick View and I see my task. twice. Mar 20 03:17:05 * madnificent replied to that: "I don't know how to fix that box issue. many people do it wrong, but I often go to the edit context to see which other tasks belong to it. Mar 20 03:17:19 twice? Mar 20 03:17:20 SineOt meet Tibfib Mar 20 03:17:27 Tibfib meet SineOt Mar 20 03:17:30 hello Tibfib! Nice to meet you Mar 20 03:17:45 twice, since I selected two contexts Mar 20 03:17:49 ah right Mar 20 03:17:55 SineOt: hi! ? Mar 20 03:17:57 haeffb: the meaning of that wasn't clear to you? Mar 20 03:18:11 well it is...I'm just not sure it's "right" Mar 20 03:18:16 for me anyway Mar 20 03:18:28 SineOt: nice to formally meet you I guess :) Mar 20 03:18:49 haeffb: you'd want a list of tasks for which you have all the needed contexts? Mar 20 03:19:04 To me, the task is singular Mar 20 03:19:05 oh cool apps got approved today Mar 20 03:19:12 yes, yes indeed Tibfib Mar 20 03:19:25 oh, wait... Mar 20 03:19:30 oil meet SineOt Mar 20 03:19:36 SineOt meet oil Mar 20 03:19:44 * oil figured out that he has to do it Mar 20 03:19:44 nevermind all that Tibfib stuff Mar 20 03:19:46 hello oil Mar 20 03:20:01 haeffb: you find it confusing that it can be part of two contexts... Mar 20 03:20:18 * thomaschaaf is going to bed Mar 20 03:20:22 goodnight thomaschaaf Mar 20 03:20:28 no, that part is fine. I suppose it's that I don't need to see it in two separate lists Mar 20 03:20:30 * madnificent is going to bed soon as well Mar 20 03:20:35 * thomaschaaf will enjoy every second of it Mar 20 03:20:56 if my Quick View is showing two or three or four contexts, I'd still expect it to only show a task once Mar 20 03:21:23 I'm at Office and with a Computer and a Phone Mar 20 03:21:36 show me (one) list of tasks that can be done in those contexts Mar 20 03:21:57 don't show me three lists Mar 20 03:22:02 I don't know... I need to think about that longer. I enjoy the current view a lot. Mar 20 03:22:06 with the same task repeated three times Mar 20 03:22:29 perhaps a joined list, the way deadlines show up Mar 20 03:22:36 again, just stating how I'd expect it to work. If your way works better for you... Mar 20 03:22:48 dangit kstate. Mar 20 03:22:52 yeah, I like your ideas, they're really constructive Mar 20 03:23:05 and consistent Mar 20 03:24:01 haeffb: would you feel it was 'ok' if there was a group (like the contexts are now) showing all your current tasks? Mar 20 03:24:25 and then the tasks per context below that? Mar 20 03:24:31 or would that be too much clutter? Mar 20 03:25:21 a group that showed ---@Office, @Computer, @Phone--- Mar 20 03:25:35 and a list of tasks inside that group? Mar 20 03:25:47 and the ---@Office--- Mar 20 03:25:52 and just cut it off when it becomes to loo long Mar 20 03:25:54 ---@Computer--- Mar 20 03:26:03 with .d.o.t.z. Mar 20 03:26:27 yeah, maybe Mar 20 03:26:34 I like that Mar 20 03:26:41 I might actually use that Mar 20 03:26:54 One more suggestion: Instead of having the name and context seperate, what if you could just type in "Call suzie @phone" and have "Call suzie" added to @ phone? Mar 20 03:27:28 ctbeiser: that would be a great feature... ;) Mar 20 03:27:39 Optimally, it would also have natural date parsing too, so you could type "Call suzie @phone by tomorrow" and have it entered as having a deadline on tomorrow. Mar 20 03:27:43 to be used in an as yet to be named tasks app Mar 20 03:27:52 ctbeiser: not all contexts are @something though Mar 20 03:28:11 it would be awesome though Mar 20 03:29:08 ctbeiser: don't expect it soon, it'd take me too much time. But I'd use that feature Mar 20 03:29:09 The awesome app I use has two kinds of context, contexts, which use an @, for location, and /, for tags, which are other things. I'd rather it use # though, because that's what I associate it with tags. Mar 20 03:30:04 * madnificent thinks a context could be more than location *or* tag, it's hard to find the differences Mar 20 03:30:12 GTD on smartphones is far from thought-out :) Mar 20 03:33:52 madnificent: I'm going to have to get some zzzz's soon. I'll leave one last thought for tonight... Mar 20 03:35:12 haeffb: good! I felt kind-of bad for having to leave. Mar 20 03:35:38 I can see where you're going with the app, but my feeling is that it's not "user friendly" enough for most users in it's current form. Not trying to be overly critical, but my guess is that most people would get frustrated and give up. Mar 20 03:36:26 haeffb: do you think a video walkthrough would help there? Mar 20 03:36:37 hay all Mar 20 03:36:44 what's up madnificent? Mar 20 03:36:58 truthfully - how many webOS apps have you gone through a video walkthrough to be able to use? Mar 20 03:37:24 I don't think I've ever went thru a video walkthrough Mar 20 03:37:32 PatrickC_Pre: I've been covered with shitloads of totally unjust comments about my perfectly userfriendly app that no one even dares to understand ^_^ Mar 20 03:37:33 and how many would you purchase if they said "hey, wait. Before you use this, study this video" Mar 20 03:37:49 madnificent: I'd suggest you go and read "The Design of Everyday Things". Mar 20 03:37:51 haeffb: well, I did it for the demo of outline tracker Mar 20 03:37:59 ctbeiser: I actually read that :) Mar 20 03:38:02 ctbeiser: I disagree Mar 20 03:38:29 thing is: I think that we're doing the complete opposite of what we should be doing with computers. A 0-learning-curve is probably not what gets you forward Mar 20 03:38:42 look at emacs, it has a high learning curve, but it's good. Or dvorak, for that matter. Mar 20 03:38:57 haeffb: I agree though, I understand Mar 20 03:39:08 PatrickC_Pre2: showoff :P Mar 20 03:40:08 How? Lol Mar 20 03:40:19 I'd disagree. I'd say that the challenge is in making things that are both fantastic and intuitive. I for one will use unintuitive apps, but not badly designed ones. There's a fine line between making an app for power users and making one that's just plain hard to use for the sake of being hard to use. Mar 20 03:40:31 madnificent: which, again, is why I said..."it will take me some time to get used to your workflow..." Mar 20 03:40:53 * SineOt slathers ctbeiser in gold stickers. "Well said" Mar 20 03:41:29 ctbeiser: this isn't plain hard to use. I wouldn't use it otherwise. But feel free to disagree. It's not the app you have on your mac, I'll not build it that way ;). Mar 20 03:42:32 SineOt: we should make those :D Mar 20 03:42:48 madnificent: what's this discussion all about? Mar 20 03:42:53 tasks@hand Mar 20 03:42:56 tasks@hand Mar 20 03:43:05 ah ok Mar 20 03:43:07 we're providing "constructive criticism" Mar 20 03:43:15 just update it a few min ago Mar 20 03:43:19 and good one at that :) Mar 20 03:43:58 Updating the Pre2's version now Mar 20 03:44:10 Anyone else receive a pre2 yesterday? Mar 20 03:44:22 yeah, I got two dozen yesterday Mar 20 03:44:36 Yeah right :p Mar 20 03:44:48 two cases of Pre2's Mar 20 03:44:56 How? Mar 20 03:45:27 * PatrickC_Pre2 wishes he got that many Mar 20 03:45:27 you got 2 dozen pre2s ? Mar 20 03:45:42 haeffb: i heard the screen sucks Mar 20 03:45:44 PatrickC_Pre2: comments are highly appreciate,d but it's 4:40 am now, I'm heading to bed :) Mar 20 03:46:05 I mean, if you'd like to make a GTD app that works syntactically; I'd go with a command prompt with the options "n +(context goes here) -(duedate goes here) -p "person" -sub"(in here goes the content of a subitem, with the same syntax as a top level one)"", and "l" which would list them based on options.. Mar 20 03:46:05 haeffb is a power user :P Epic multitasking Mar 20 03:46:07 :P Mar 20 03:46:11 the screen is kind of awesome to be honest Mar 20 03:46:22 the color balance is nice, white point is lower and I love that Mar 20 03:46:25 The screen is amazing Mar 20 03:46:28 * haeffb LOVES my sprint Pre2 Mar 20 03:46:33 And it doesn't scratch :p Mar 20 03:46:40 What does one do with 24 Pre2s? Mar 20 03:46:50 I'd just love to see f.lux built into webOS Mar 20 03:46:56 * PatrickC_Pre2 LOVES his unlocked (not used :( ) pre2! Mar 20 03:47:14 PatrickC_Pre2: aren't you on your pre2 ? Mar 20 03:47:20 Yep Mar 20 03:47:23 ctbeiser: I have no use for them. Will likely throw them in the trash tomorrow. Mar 20 03:47:27 I meant "not activated" Mar 20 03:47:30 XD Mar 20 03:47:48 * PatrickC_Pre2 stakes out haeffb's house for the discarded pre2's Mar 20 03:47:52 wait. I meant to say "I got zero yesterday" Mar 20 03:48:02 lol Mar 20 03:48:05 s/two dozen/zero/ Mar 20 03:48:16 Lol Mar 20 03:48:48 Madnificent: you still here? Mar 20 03:48:57 PatrickC_Pre2: barely, but yes :) Mar 20 03:49:12 Is the *help* button suppose to work? Mar 20 03:49:14 Lol Mar 20 03:49:29 PatrickC_Pre2: no, but you searching for it gave me another type of user :) Mar 20 03:49:36 i just removed my google account / the google account has all contacts .. i want to reload my contacts from gmail .. i opened cotacts and all contacts are still there .. how can i rm all contacts ? Mar 20 03:49:53 Try restarting? Mar 20 03:50:00 PatrickC_Pre2: not a single user tried to press it so far... but help for users is needed Mar 20 03:50:07 Lol Mar 20 03:50:19 ctbeiser: as in device info reset or just turning off and on ? Mar 20 03:50:21 I try to test *all* buttons :p Mar 20 03:50:32 Just on and off. Mar 20 03:50:46 Im still trying to figure out how to use it :p Mar 20 03:51:30 PatrickC_Pre2: I could probably give a walkthrough tomorrow or so. If you want to try it out, please log what you experience. I'll do my best to respond to it soon. I'm going to bed now, otherwise I won't be able to eat noon tomorow Mar 20 03:51:46 Lol Mar 20 03:51:48 Ok nite Mar 20 03:51:53 thanks Mar 20 03:52:04 don't throw your pre out of the window because the app doesn't seem to listen! Mar 20 03:52:04 Lumberjack sure has a lot to say about the app :p Mar 20 03:52:27 * PatrickC_Pre2 tried that already.. Didn't solve anything Mar 20 03:52:40 PatrickC_Pre2: lower the info level, it slows the app down horribly Mar 20 03:52:44 it's all my debugging output :P Mar 20 03:52:50 (j/k) Mar 20 03:52:52 Ok Mar 20 03:52:56 Will try that Mar 20 03:52:57 all contacts are thre .. i just rset device Mar 20 03:53:03 Good Mar 20 03:53:12 you _can_ see it if you want. It's not ashaming, but it's a bit useless :) Mar 20 03:53:38 knwo what Mar 20 03:53:42 there all facebook contacts Mar 20 03:53:47 s/knwo/know/ Mar 20 03:53:53 Check the contact Mar 20 03:54:03 What is the default contact for the person Mar 20 03:54:08 And what is the default account? Mar 20 03:54:29 Anyone had any luck with this? -> http://m.precentral.net/share-your-app-ideas-website-developers-find-and-create Mar 20 04:00:06 Nite guys Mar 20 04:00:12 I'll be on sometime tomorrow Mar 20 04:02:53 I wish the internet could replicate smell and taste, especially smell." I second that suggestion. I wonder what PreCentral tastes like? Mar 20 04:03:06 bitter regret, despair and near hatred for HP. Mar 20 04:03:20 Oreo. Mar 20 04:03:39 nighty-night, folks! Mar 20 04:06:41 goodnight Mar 20 04:23:13 tags > strict folders Mar 20 04:23:32 I wish that's how music tags worked. Mar 20 04:23:50 so I can get mashups to show up under an artist Mar 20 04:24:31 also, the dev forums would benefit from tags Mar 20 04:30:47 The dev forums would benefit from not sucking. :/ Mar 20 04:31:03 I don't know what forum software they're using (it looks like PHPbb) but it's pretty awful Mar 20 04:33:04 I need me another touchstone :p Mar 20 04:33:17 so I can vertically mount all three devices Mar 20 04:33:55 I'm considering getting a second one, which'll be located on my bedside table; ten feet away from my desk mounted one... Mar 20 04:35:12 I wouldn't want a bedside one. The screen being on is just bright bright enough to be annoying. Mar 20 04:35:39 I just turn the data connection off when I go to bed, battery only drops like 4-5% Mar 20 04:35:57 2.0 you can click the power button and the screen turns off. :) Mar 20 04:36:01 *2.1 Mar 20 04:36:04 yeah Mar 20 04:36:12 doesn't it flip back on after like 10 minutes? Mar 20 04:36:15 My Pixi does that Mar 20 04:36:18 that feature is under-appreciated xD Mar 20 04:36:30 Only if it's not on the stand right. Mar 20 04:36:36 oil: heheh I like it too Mar 20 04:36:41 Hmm. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmm. Mar 20 04:37:14 HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Mar 20 04:37:19 Hum. Mar 20 04:59:05 I wonder if pre 3 has a software keyboard Mar 20 04:59:46 don't think so no Mar 20 04:59:59 you can install the webosinternals virtual keyboard Mar 20 05:00:04 That sucks Mar 20 05:00:12 the demo they gave at the Feb 9th event, he was saying that if a device has a hardware keyboard they won't ship a software keyboard on it Mar 20 05:00:27 I found that to be terrible Mar 20 05:00:34 Whyso? Mar 20 05:00:51 oh norton gray didnt say that to me Mar 20 05:00:57 he was an awesome demoer Mar 20 05:01:12 but makes sense Mar 20 05:01:18 yeah, the demoer I was watching was pretty awesome Mar 20 05:01:32 and it makes sense to not bother with a software keyboard when you've got a hardware one sitting right there Mar 20 05:01:37 just got back from a webosinternals meetup w/ rod, adora, some hp dudes and others Mar 20 05:01:46 agreed Mar 20 05:01:48 Slow and buggy. Thought they would include a keyboard since they up the screen size Mar 20 05:02:10 what's slow and buggy? :p Mar 20 05:02:44 The keyboard that was in preware that I tried. Mar 20 05:02:55 the one on 2.0? Mar 20 05:03:15 because if so, that's the Palm one :p Mar 20 05:03:21 Good to have a software keyboard so you don't have to keep flipping back and forth when in landscape Mar 20 05:03:57 Tibfib: you know that fix hasn't been pushed yet, right?

Mar 20 05:11:38 wirc will be in the catalog when i submit it Mar 20 05:11:42 but itl still be in preware Mar 20 05:12:08 So with 2.1 it can be submitted? Mar 20 05:12:17 yeah Mar 20 05:12:55 But someone that has a pre - with 1.4 wouldn't be able to install it? Mar 20 05:13:06 in the catalog itl be limited to 2.1 and up Mar 20 05:13:42 so you just install 2.1 on the Pre- ;_ Mar 20 05:14:28 I use and need sprint navigator. Heard it has other bugs also Mar 20 05:16:02 if a 2.1 dr gets stuck at activation n first use can a 1.4.5 dr be done? any idea why my 1.4.5 dr with first use disabled still ran first use? had to luna start wifi from novaterm when I did the 1.4.5 sprint... Mar 20 05:17:01 considering 2.1 tonight on this inactive device. don't wanna hassel with first use though. Mar 20 05:17:38 Meta doctor it with the --wifi-only flag Mar 20 05:18:20 can you use that switch with the old 'normal' make roms? Mar 20 05:18:57 I used it on the 2.1 but not 1.4.5 maybe my problem? Mar 20 05:19:18 for that, the wifi only flag basically just sets four flags Mar 20 05:20:05 in your make file set it to skip activation and skip first use Mar 20 05:20:15 4 from the makefile? which 4? Mar 20 05:20:45 I did that. didn't work it seems... on 1.4.5 sprint Mar 20 05:20:47 if you open the script, it says Mar 20 05:20:54 kk Mar 20 05:21:38 any idea whan is needed from the media drive aside from 'saverestore' folder to resport app prefs? Mar 20 05:21:48 I think it's skip activation, skip first use, disable upload daemon, disable modem update, and something else I think Mar 20 05:22:36 k. I'll check in out again. know anything bout saverestore? Mar 20 05:23:13 is saverestore palm profile dependent? Mar 20 05:23:32 save/restore is outside of everything Mar 20 05:24:24 want to restore preware saved list n prefs but the app doent appear to see my saved stuff. :( Mar 20 05:25:03 I restored the 'saverestore' folder. do I need to rescan media?

Mar 20 12:09:23 yep Mar 20 12:09:48 I can see the title of the popup that comes up "change location" but nothing else Mar 20 12:10:19 hmm Mar 20 12:10:40 http://ares.palm.com/AresLog/ could you see if there is anything happening log wise? Mar 20 12:11:55 maybe it has to do with the english version I'll check in the emulator Mar 20 12:12:40 ooh I caught one Mar 20 12:13:10 de.komola.rainy Error: Error: Caught exception in _Dialog widget 'object' setup(): TypeError: Cannot read property 'address' of undefined, palmInitFramework367:2569 Mar 20 12:13:19 when choosing update location Mar 20 12:14:25 de.komola.rainy Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'offsetHeight' of object, palmInitFramework367:6501 Mar 20 12:14:52 Loudergood: what os?

Mar 20 12:31:58 I get the same problem with my 2.1 pre2 Mar 20 12:32:48 hmm maybe it's an old version Mar 20 12:32:53 let me rebuild it Mar 20 12:33:12 download the version now and delete the other one Mar 20 12:33:15 beforehand Mar 20 12:34:14 well that's interesting...the temp did come up for the pre2 eventually Mar 20 12:34:35 there are a LOT of people at the airport this morning Mar 20 12:34:40 it has to get a gps fix.. I guess that takes a white Mar 20 12:34:42 while Mar 20 12:36:22 yeah I should've expected that.. no sim in that phone so it has to do it the hard way Mar 20 12:37:02 updated version works great Mar 20 12:37:04 but it saves the location so it will never take so long to start Mar 20 12:37:10 in the pre2 Mar 20 12:37:17 even the update location part Mar 20 12:37:41 okay I hope someone will like my work and be willing to pay the 79 cents.. Mar 20 12:37:49 took way to many hours Mar 20 12:38:49 wanted it to be a one hour project.. ended up working on it about 6 hours Mar 20 12:39:03 how do you like the exhibition?

Mar 20 12:47:35 I am having a hard time making a closed umbrella Mar 20 12:47:49 better colors (red&blue) Mar 20 12:47:59 more decent red & blue Mar 20 12:48:06 what do you mean? Mar 20 12:48:18 I am color blind actually so it's very hard for me :/ Mar 20 12:48:44 the red and blue colors are quite agressive, making them darker or lighter would take some of the agressive-ness Mar 20 12:48:57 leiru: can you give me the hex? Mar 20 12:51:31 no i have no real sense of creating colors, too. i have my own GFX-man for my new app :) Mar 20 12:51:59 hm Mar 20 12:57:56 changed it a bit not perfect but enough Mar 20 13:04:13 F.

Mar 20 14:55:38 * haeffb working on breakfast Mar 20 14:58:37 haeffb: how do you finance that breakfast? Mar 20 15:08:52 thomaschaaf: tasks@hand :) I'll probably work on lisp addict tonight Mar 20 15:24:28 * sandrstar is going to have another cup of pu erh Mar 20 15:37:42 headache :( Mar 20 16:38:59 * thomaschaaf wave MetaView Mar 20 17:02:53 * MetaView bows Mar 20 18:31:29 Afternoon Mar 20 18:41:31 hello PatrickC_Pre2 Mar 20 18:43:09 Hay Mar 20 18:44:24 How's it goin? Mar 20 18:46:15 hey Mar 20 18:46:32 if anyone downloaded rainy before.. there is a bug in it: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/dsf5yc205pfww2v/de.komola.rainy_1.1.0_all.ipk?dl=1 here thefixed version Mar 20 18:48:26 PatrickC_Pre2: it's going slowly :) Mar 20 18:49:05 PatrickC_Pre2: I'd like to get my textarea to resize (like richTextArea does) Mar 20 18:50:53 just noticed, that the facebook app debugs with the info "loading mojo2" others don't Mar 20 18:51:09 * madnificent updates rainy Mar 20 18:53:47 thomaschaaf: palm-install refuses to install it :( Mar 20 18:54:08 hmm try uninsatlling the other one firs? Mar 20 18:54:14 palm-install refuses to install anything, it seems Mar 20 18:54:30 hmmm, perhaps I should reboot this box Mar 20 18:55:18 works for me Mar 20 18:55:24 I am not able to say more :( Mar 20 19:00:28 hmmm, perhaps I should reboot hte pre Mar 20 19:00:35 madnificent: multiline: true Mar 20 19:00:38 still not working? Mar 20 19:00:57 thomaschaaf: no, but other apps don't install either, so it's probably not your app :) Mar 20 19:01:18 haeffb: on a textarea? multiline="true" then? Mar 20 19:02:24 Textbox widget? Mar 20 19:03:08 haeffb: no, I want to use a textarea, which is vastly simpler to style and doesn't return things like
and & to me (I don't need all those gimmicks). Mar 20 19:03:37 haeffb: however, textarea doesn't resize by default. It has a fixed height Mar 20 19:03:50 on the other hand, the TextField widget will resize as needed Mar 20 19:04:05 haeffb: yes, but it is an utter mess to style Mar 20 19:04:30 mostly because palm doesn't say which tags and with what classes it'll place in there Mar 20 19:05:01 so you have to build a tunnel to the emulator and watch it in chromium or one of the likes, but that doesn't always work. For instance: it doesn't work now. Mar 20 19:05:20 fair enough. I'm usually ok with the default styles. Mar 20 19:06:08 likewise Mar 20 19:07:44 madnificent: so is it working now? Mar 20 19:12:31 thomaschaaf: looks like it :) Mar 20 19:12:39 * madnificent is happy to be able to install applications again Mar 20 19:20:41 haeffb: fwiw, I'll probably end up going for the TextField widget. I've thrown it away 2 times but still Mar 20 19:21:06 madnificent: what app are you working on? Mar 20 19:33:10 what's rainy? Mar 20 19:35:56 thomaschaaf: tasks@hand An app helping you to work in the GTD methodology of David Allan Mar 20 19:36:07 s/allan/allen Mar 20 19:38:24 madnificent: I have no Idea who david allen is :/ Mar 20 19:40:17 thomaschaaf: he wrote a book about how to get things done Mar 20 19:40:22 it's named "getting things done" Mar 20 19:40:26 uh how cool http://ajaxstack.com/jsonreport/ Mar 20 19:40:43 the idea is basically that you'll likely get too much work anyways and that you should free up your mind so you can do one thing at a time Mar 20 19:41:34 It'll probably be a complete mess without knowing what GTD is, but if you'd like to try out the app, /msg me your email address Mar 20 19:42:25 schaaf@komola.de Mar 20 19:45:31 madnificent: still nothin Mar 20 19:48:13 madnificent: has to be approved :/ Mar 20 19:48:14 wtf Mar 20 19:48:25 thomaschaaf: done Mar 20 19:48:26 hate google groups Mar 20 19:48:55 thomaschaaf: hey, some people in this channel asked me to set it up :) Mar 20 19:49:06 feel free to respond by email in the group btw. That'll likely be good as well Mar 20 19:50:24 Jatt buying tmobile is not going to be good for sprint. Mar 20 19:50:43 Not good for competition either Mar 20 19:51:24 the us already only has a limited amount of providers Mar 20 19:51:36 having one less especially the only other gsm one is not good Mar 20 19:51:48 I guess sprint didn't have the money Mar 20 19:53:07 I didn't even think that t-mobile needed to sell Mar 20 19:53:36 What pisses me off is that Tmo was the only provider that let you bring your own device. Mar 20 19:53:57 Without paying the cost of a device subsidy. Mar 20 19:54:11 Tmobile was losing money Mar 20 19:54:36 But their prices were just so low…. I guess that's why... Mar 20 19:55:05 Wasn't that low to me. Sprint is lower but then again they are also losin money Mar 20 19:55:42 us prices vs. european prices are so big Mar 20 19:56:01 * PatrickC_Pre2 waves hello Mar 20 19:56:05 I felt like they we're trying to fuck with me when I was in silicon valley paying more per month than I am now paying per year Mar 20 19:56:14 Kinda hard to compare with the exchange rates Mar 20 19:56:22 * PatrickC_Pre2 is lost Mar 20 19:57:05 I pay 7 € per month for unlimited 3g internet with 7.2 mbit Mar 20 19:57:30 How much is that in US dollars?

Mar 20 20:01:32 also if you spend more than 35€ my price doesn't go up anymore Mar 20 20:01:57 so if I feel like calling the whole day it becomes a flatrate Mar 20 20:02:03 only germany internal calls though Mar 20 20:03:53 MetaView: what apps have you made? Mar 20 20:04:20 MapTool, UberRadio, ImageWorker, Earworm..

Mar 20 20:05:14 MapTool is more or less instant Mar 20 20:05:54 it uses cached maps (the pro) the free version can use offline maps, but doesn#t create them on the fly and doesn't check for an offline before ttrying to download Mar 20 20:05:59 MetaView: is it fun or do you actually make money which pays bills?

Mar 20 20:30:34 Make it a "free" window orientation Mar 20 20:30:57 like horizontal clock? Mar 20 20:31:05 didn't that exist beforehand? Mar 20 20:31:15 Yes Mar 20 20:31:17 And not sure Mar 20 20:31:53 in 1.4.5 when you put it on horizontally the clock would be oriented correctly Mar 20 20:32:29 Yea Mar 20 20:32:41 But exhibition mode doesn't offer that :'( Mar 20 20:42:00 why doesn't webos have killer porn apps it's the only plattform which allows for them.. let me reread the terms Mar 20 20:42:42 I didn't think we *did* allow them... Mar 20 20:43:01 it's not allowed Mar 20 20:43:16 just bikini-girls ... Mar 20 20:43:30 hmmProhibited Application Content. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the Application Content Criteria set forth certain categories of applications which do not meet the criteria for distribution, including, but not limited to Applications containing or pertaining to the following content: promotion or use of any firearms, tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, illegal acts or substances, or pornography or any other adult conte Mar 20 20:43:45 but there are apps which simulate shooting a shotgun too :P Mar 20 20:43:55 how about for webdistribution? Mar 20 20:44:20 do the same terms apply? Mar 20 20:44:33 they are prude americans. wearing firearms is okay, but pr0n is bad. Mar 20 20:44:49 i think they would pull it down if they see it Mar 20 20:44:50 leiru: check the first statement.. Mar 20 20:45:02 promotion of use of firearms is prohibited.., Mar 20 20:45:13 and again, they are americans. Mar 20 20:45:20 they love firearms Mar 20 20:45:34 many people like porn.. Mar 20 20:45:41 Yes we do :) (firearms) Mar 20 20:45:58 then just try it out and report your results. Mar 20 20:46:01 thats the reason we had vhs and not the other thing Mar 20 20:46:10 the other thing didn'T allow porn Mar 20 20:46:13 vhs was all for it Mar 20 20:46:40 there were already apps rejected because of 'to-close-to-porn' Mar 20 20:46:53 thomaschaaf: did you get my original invite message? Mar 20 20:46:55 <3 notes was Mar 20 20:47:00 one of my apps Mar 20 20:47:15 madnificent: yep but seems to compliated for me to use.. Mar 20 20:47:56 thomaschaaf: http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1817 Mar 20 20:48:35 according to this, a bikini-girl is okay Mar 20 20:48:44 thomaschaaf: I assumed that :) Mar 20 20:48:57 thomaschaaf: how long did you try to use it, what did you manage to do in that time? Mar 20 20:49:39 I am developing my own app / product around tasks I won't really be using others actively Mar 20 20:50:01 ah ok :) Mar 20 20:50:01 also working on webos in app support stage anyone can include Mar 20 20:50:12 and give fantastic support Mar 20 20:50:13 app support stage? Mar 20 20:50:18 Pre-generated? Mar 20 20:50:24 thomaschaaf: and promotion of use of firearms means not simulating a shotgun sound, more this direction: "kids, use firearms in your school cause your school is bad" Mar 20 20:50:29 Or developer-built? Mar 20 20:51:09 I will build a stage you include it or change it if you want the user can submit support tickets to suplify and you get all support requests around your apps in one location Mar 20 20:51:28 also email support, twitter and facebook + many more Mar 20 20:51:30 * madnificent is too dumb to interpret that sentence Mar 20 20:51:51 Madnificent should use pre-generated help scenes :) Mar 20 20:52:00 just like that but for support Mar 20 20:52:06 PatrickC_Pre2: care to guide methrough stuff like that? Mar 20 20:52:26 1 second Mar 20 20:52:35 * madnificent has issues with pressing the space bar and keeping his eyes open, be back in 5! Mar 20 20:52:48 http://www.net-tech-group.com/pre/part_4.html Mar 20 20:52:53 There you go ;) Mar 20 20:53:04 madnificent: http://pastie.org/1693663 Mar 20 20:53:06 add that Mar 20 20:53:15 and bam a nice help screen Mar 20 20:53:21 * Hendikins is starting to get really cheesed off by this GPS bug. Mar 20 20:53:56 Hendikins: explain.. Mar 20 20:54:43 anyone have any idea why the Pre3 "Tech Specs" page isn't showing network compatibility specs? Mar 20 20:54:49 thomaschaaf: I'm in the southern hemisphere. AGPS locations are incorrect by 2^32/1e7 degrees. Mar 20 20:54:49 the Veer page is Mar 20 20:55:10 Hendikins: is that a lot? Mar 20 20:55:16 thomaschaaf: About 429.49673. Mar 20 20:55:34 Which puts me well and truly off the planet until I get an actual GPS fix. Mar 20 20:56:42 More correctly, it is the latitude that is incorrect. In Sydney it puts me at a rather impossible 395 degrees north. Mar 20 20:56:44 Hendikins: is that a device problem or specs problem? Mar 20 20:56:58 thomaschaaf: It is a software problem with the Pre. Mar 20 20:57:05 oh okay.. Mar 20 20:57:07 A longstanding software problem with the Pre. Mar 20 20:57:26 Hendikins: pres are not sold there so no support for you Mar 20 20:57:28 :D Mar 20 20:57:50 thomaschaaf: Yeah, pretty much. Mar 20 20:58:05 found an interessting bug in 2.1. Mar 20 20:58:16 How dare we want to give the company our money? Can't have that... Mar 20 20:58:18 Which is? Mar 20 20:58:32 if you change your langage it restarts and then tells you you need to set a password because of activesync settings Mar 20 20:59:15 I haven't noticed that.. As I don't change my language :p Mar 20 21:00:18 * Hendikins grumbles... is going to be late to work thanks to this train. Mar 20 21:00:26 Only 11 more days till I find out if I won that laptop :) Mar 20 21:00:53 I've got all day to run late trains. Can't this one be on time? Mar 20 21:00:54 what laptop? Mar 20 21:01:21 I'm in a raffle to win a new HP W7 laptop Mar 20 21:01:25 * madnificent starts reading Mar 20 21:04:06 Madnificent, that *should* give you a full support scene, let me know if you need any help Mar 20 21:06:06 PatrickC_Pre2: well, I'll still need to make a scene with help topics :) Mar 20 21:06:12 no, it looks cool Mar 20 21:06:15 Lol Mar 20 21:06:26 That isn't *needed* but it can be useful :) Mar 20 21:06:47 Dkirker: ping! Mar 20 21:07:16 PatrickC_Pre2: no, I think it is actually needed... I should probably make a youtube video or something like that. Mar 20 21:07:26 You could Mar 20 21:07:29 don't think anyone uses the help thing.. Mar 20 21:08:07 thomaschaaf: PatrickC_Pre2 noticed my help didn't work :) Mar 20 21:08:18 Yep :) Mar 20 21:09:21 http://m.precentral.net/hp-planning-native-ftp-app-webos -> I hope so Mar 20 21:11:15 PatrickC_Pre2: FTP could be an acronym for something else. Plus, I think that's been around a while Mar 20 21:11:45 Well, we can hope :) Mar 20 21:12:57 are you kidding I reported about this HERE 2 weeks ago Mar 20 21:13:04 no one cared Mar 20 21:13:08 thomaschaaf: shut up, we don't listen to you Mar 20 21:13:38 Did you guys hear something? Mar 20 21:13:40 PatrickC_Pre2: ah, yeah it's an ftp test app, looks like for speed testing Mar 20 21:13:44 * PatrickC_Pre2 j/k Mar 20 21:13:49 :D Mar 20 21:14:21 Destinal: it would be awesome if it was an actual FTP client :) Mar 20 21:14:24 thomaschaaf: I don't think it's that important either, but I wasn't here a few weeks ago! Don't blame me. Mar 20 21:14:31 just do a palm-launch -i Mar 20 21:14:39 there are lots of apps Mar 20 21:14:54 -i ? Mar 20 21:15:05 l Mar 20 21:15:06 sorry Mar 20 21:15:12 Ok Mar 20 21:15:27 I do palm-install -l Mar 20 21:15:28 QXDM logger Mar 20 21:15:32 Same thing? Mar 20 21:15:37 launch has names Mar 20 21:15:47 Ah ok Mar 20 21:15:50 so it's easier to know what each app is Mar 20 21:27:22 PatrickC_Pre2: so, more info. Looks like it's for connectivity and/or speed testing and uses hard coded file names. What's interesting is that there's a palm service for it: Mar 20 21:27:24 Name=com.palm.ftp \n Exec=/usr/bin/mojoftpd\n Mar 20 21:27:26 With "download" and "upload" methods. Looks like it uses curl for the heavy lifting. Mar 20 21:28:16 haven't checked yet but I wouldn't be surprised if access to the service is restricted Mar 20 21:29:13 I hope it isn't/won't be eventually Mar 20 21:30:03 PatrickC_Pre2: it's really a trivial service, anyone could implement their own in the pdk with just a bit of work in C and curl for instance. but yeah, wonder why they'd bother with this Mar 20 21:30:36 Its still nice to see they *mite* be working on something Mar 20 21:31:35 bet it get's used for backup no? Mar 20 21:32:02 or maybe some other service like palm profiles Mar 20 21:32:40 thomaschaaf: hmm, good point. uncertain but possible Mar 20 21:33:01 If I were them I certainly wouldn't use ftp as it's seriously insecure Mar 20 21:33:15 It is? How so? Mar 20 21:33:17 not if you use it with https Mar 20 21:33:34 ssl Mar 20 21:33:42 thomaschaaf: you mean ftp wrapped in SSL/TLS (FTPS) Mar 20 21:33:44 as is https but then it'd be ftps Mar 20 21:33:47 yep sorry Mar 20 21:34:01 thomaschaaf: yes it would be secure that way but this service doesn't implement that Mar 20 21:34:33 has no one looker at how backup is implemented.. would love to make a browser for the palm profiles.. Mar 20 21:34:53 have to fireup wireshark some day... Mar 20 21:35:11 thomaschaaf: you'll need more than wireshark but yeah I've got short term plans to investigate Mar 20 21:35:54 we'll first see what system is used... as in what ports are used but I'd be pretty sure it's 443 Mar 20 21:36:08 then I'd need to man in the middle the ssl handshake Mar 20 21:36:47 thomaschaaf: yeah, I've done this sort of thing for the update service a while back -- http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Decrypt_SSL_%28trusted_man-in-the-middle_technique%29 Mar 20 21:36:49 great.. now I won't be able to sleep Mar 20 21:37:30 thomaschaaf: this was before tools like mallory and burp proxy made the actual MITM much easier to do Mar 20 21:37:39 so I used stunnel Mar 20 21:38:00 did you look at the backup process yet? Mar 20 21:38:39 thomaschaaf: no, there are a lot of palm ws endpoints that need checked into. probably a better topic for #webos-internals, btw Mar 20 21:39:02 it would be awesome because we could build a viewer for: palm profile contacts, favorites, textmessages Mar 20 21:39:31 thomaschaaf: yup, you read my mind :) Mar 20 21:40:33 you thinking of the same stuff on "your own" probably means you hacked yourself into my brain... I shall kill you but since you have access to my brain every step I do you know in advance.. Mar 20 21:41:01 hmm I guess it's time to go into homer mode Mar 20 21:41:29 no thinking just doing.. If I do it long enough you will eventually be killed by utter randomness Mar 20 21:41:34 PatrickC_Pre2: pong Mar 20 21:41:49 dkirker: PatrickC_Pre2 worst lag ever Mar 20 21:42:00 high latency Mar 20 21:42:02 * dkirker nods Mar 20 21:42:13 thomaschaaf: lol Mar 20 21:42:23 How is the review version comin? Mar 20 21:42:52 it seems that only palm is allowed to open the review page directly.. Mar 20 21:43:51 PatrickC_Pre2: ? Mar 20 21:44:24 I wanted to open the review page directly from within my app like in swmanager Mar 20 21:44:34 fatboy slim just meeting my taste tonight Mar 20 21:51:12 destinal: hmm I'd really want to take the backup program into pieces but I need to go to bed soon :/ Mar 20 21:52:48 with novacom how do I go onto my device? tty:// is emulator.. Mar 20 21:53:10 thomaschaaf: you just have to specify which device at the novacom command line Mar 20 21:53:20 or pause / shut down your emulator Mar 20 21:53:23 we so excited.. Mar 20 21:53:33 novacom -t -d usb tty:// Mar 20 21:53:39 doesn't seem to work Mar 20 21:54:08 you need an "open" before tty:// Mar 20 21:54:24 ah Mar 20 21:54:26 nice Mar 20 21:54:45 also if you have anything but windows, novaterm is a better choice than novacom open tty:// Mar 20 21:55:08 novaterm -d usb Mar 20 21:56:13 its friday friday ;D (well its my friday) Mar 20 21:56:19 hmm can I use putty to access the device.. the novacom experience sucks balls Mar 20 21:57:12 thomaschaaf: unfortunately putty doesn't speak novacom's protocol. there's a windows novaterm client linked on the wiki Mar 20 21:57:20 it's not great, but better Mar 20 21:57:37 thomaschaaf: you can install an ssh server on the device and then putty in though Mar 20 21:57:59 yesterday was saturday, today is sunday, tomorrow is monday and tuesday comes afterwards Mar 20 21:58:24 thomaschaaf: we should take discussion of this stuff to #webos-internals though Mar 20 21:59:49 funny Mar 20 22:00:06 every video i watch on youtube has a HP/Palm Veer, Pr3 and Touchpad ad as the first ad Mar 20 22:00:32 dang Mar 20 22:00:36 that's gotta be expensive Mar 20 22:01:00 i dont think i have any palm/hp videos favorited or saved either Mar 20 22:01:09 so it cant be pulling from that Mar 20 22:01:24 everyone say something for wirc screenshot for the catalog! Mar 20 22:01:39 Pie! Mar 20 22:01:40 hi, mom! Mar 20 22:01:51 applesauce? Mar 20 22:02:10 not as impressive as i was hoping for... Mar 20 22:02:11 Kesne loves Rebecca Black Mar 20 22:02:35 oil: HAI!

Mar 20 22:02:49 lol @destinal Mar 20 22:02:50 heh, thats probably true Mar 20 22:03:02 oil: I blame you!

Mar 20 22:04:06 idk Mar 20 22:04:09 Tibfib: re "I blame you" I immediately thought of "no one knows what it's like, to the be the bad man.." Mar 20 22:04:40 i gotta pee Mar 20 22:04:48 dawm_: classic Mar 20 22:04:56 thats goin in the screenshot for sure Mar 20 22:04:59 i really do tho Mar 20 22:05:17 oil: there better be something form me Mar 20 22:05:19 from* Mar 20 22:05:20 dangit Mar 20 22:05:40 yeah, that will be in there for sure, hah Mar 20 22:06:05 heh Mar 20 22:06:26 oil: can you finally submit it then? Mar 20 22:06:39 we'll find out Mar 20 22:07:27 * oil lurks waiting for chat to return to webos before taking screenshot Mar 20 22:07:54 pshaw Mar 20 22:08:08 YAY I can talk about db8 now! Mar 20 22:08:18 or webos-internals, since it seems to have good discussion going Mar 20 22:08:38 :( Mar 20 22:09:25 how many screenshots are needed, 3? Mar 20 22:09:33 million Mar 20 22:09:43 wait.

Mar 20 22:26:31 PatrickC_Pre2: supposedly one can submit hybrid apps to the catalog. Internalz is one, for instance (though the back-end piece is node rather than C) Mar 20 22:29:53 We're talking about wIRC, right? Mar 20 22:30:54 yes Mar 20 22:32:09 Will it be free? That is the most important question :) Mar 20 22:32:30 no Mar 20 22:32:33 it better not Mar 20 22:32:39 How come? Mar 20 22:32:43 PatrickC_Pre2: you know its in preware, right? Mar 20 22:32:52 Yes Mar 20 22:32:56 I'm using it now Mar 20 22:33:13 then why should it be free? Mar 20 22:33:30 Just wonderin Mar 20 22:33:45 Then it could be restores with a standard backup Mar 20 22:34:02 hmm ? Mar 20 22:34:23 I an use it without preware/devmode enabled Mar 20 22:34:35 Like when I get a referb device Mar 20 22:34:37 Tibfib: if you sell a reasonably inexpensive version on the catalog and make it available free in preware, then people have a choice. they can get more convenience and support the developers by buying it, or turn on dev mode, install preware, and install it from there Mar 20 22:34:39 you don't need devmode enabled to use it Mar 20 22:34:41 (when, not if) Mar 20 22:35:03 destinal: yeah Mar 20 22:35:06 You need devmode enabled to install it Mar 20 22:35:07 that's what oil should do Mar 20 22:35:21 Now I see where you all are goin? Mar 20 22:35:22 PatrickC_Pre2: only to install preware, you can turn it off once you get preware installed Mar 20 22:35:35 S/goin?/goin/ Mar 20 22:35:48 I like devmode on all the time Mar 20 22:36:02 now I need to decide whether to include koto player in preware :) Mar 20 22:36:02 But sometimes it takes me a few days to get dev mode turned on Mar 20 22:36:09 :) Mar 20 22:36:15 PatrickC_Pre2: that is not the device's fault Mar 20 22:36:25 I know Mar 20 22:36:29 :) Mar 20 22:36:38 what the hell kind of spam is this?

Mar 20 22:58:21 fail Mar 20 22:59:48 Tibfib: just another reason app catalogs are evil, why can't everyone just sell their apps directly to users on this thing called the web and keep all the money? Mar 20 23:00:32 infrastructure not there? Mar 20 23:00:33 I think overall, catalogs benefit everyone Mar 20 23:01:13 they're just a pain sometimes. Mar 20 23:01:50 Tibfib: it's totally unreasonable for what developers end up paying in that 30% cut for it to be a pain at all Mar 20 23:02:23 yeah. but without the catalog, we lose 90% of our customers Mar 20 23:02:37 the tech savy do and would not google around for it Mar 20 23:02:45 any fix on my error /me looks up Mar 20 23:02:46 err. Mar 20 23:02:47 Tibfib: was that the case in the palmos days? Mar 20 23:03:03 the non tech savvy do not and would not google around for it Mar 20 23:03:17 destinal: did not tech savvy people use palmos? Mar 20 23:03:33 Tibfib: if apps were free to install (say without dev mode), then other app stores would arise Mar 20 23:03:52 I think so? and do non-tech savvy people not buy software online for their PC's without app stores? Mar 20 23:03:56 madnificent: that's fine Mar 20 23:04:02 good even :) Mar 20 23:04:08 yeah, I think it would be better Mar 20 23:04:19 im trying to remove a patch and i get errors http://pastie.org/1693643her Mar 20 23:04:23 I'm just saying, a set store/catalog brings more customers Mar 20 23:04:25 there could be competition between the stores themselves Mar 20 23:04:29 also .. im trying to install the same patch i get errors Mar 20 23:04:37 i fixed it by running EMR and EMI Mar 20 23:04:43 but i still can't install the patch Mar 20 23:07:34 bbl Mar 20 23:09:54 rotfl Mar 20 23:10:04 did you hear about t-mobile Mar 20 23:10:38 AT&T to buy T-Mobile USA for $39 billion Mar 20 23:10:55 tmo comes out if it falls through though Mar 20 23:17:51 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXPN4dfBAGU Mar 20 23:17:53 lol Mar 20 23:18:13 http://twitpic.com/4blcpi Mar 20 23:18:21 what is Homebrew Gate for MAL using preware icon?
