**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Apr 02 02:59:58 2011 Apr 02 03:02:24 NuttyBunny: I do. Apr 02 03:02:53 Ah, cool, with what carrier did you activate it? AT&T? Apr 02 03:02:57 yeah Apr 02 03:04:23 great, thanks! :D Apr 02 03:04:59 (what's that for?) Apr 02 03:07:01 to know how should I activate my Pre 2, if Palm ever send it to me... hehehe Apr 02 03:07:50 hey guys - trying to figure out how to add new contact information in the Contacts App after a user taps an icon within my app. Something like how you might download a Vcard and then save the data from it to the contact app. Any ideas? Apr 02 03:09:48 there are docs about selecting a contact from the contacts app, but you want to update a contact info within your app, right? Apr 02 03:10:19 Chuq said somewhere that that APIs had changed in 2.x, you should ask him in the Palm forums Apr 02 03:10:39 right - ok - heading there now Apr 02 03:10:42 thanks Apr 02 03:29:01 Any ideas if webOS 2.1 supports WebSockets? Apr 02 03:30:45 nope, it doesn't Apr 02 03:31:06 long polling, yes though Apr 02 03:32:28 what's long polling? Apr 02 03:42:38 long polling is another way to get push data in a client, where the server and client keep the connection open until more data is sent from the server Apr 02 03:54:03 ok and node.js supports using it as a client to connect on a remote TCP server, right? Apr 02 03:56:35 node can function as a tcp client, yes Apr 02 04:06:18 oh, there were so many changes to the services in 2.1... Apr 02 04:08:44 * dkirker falls over Apr 02 04:08:50 can't... get... up... Apr 02 04:10:26 lulz Apr 02 04:13:28 dkirker: how's palm treating you? Apr 02 04:13:43 halfhalo: Not bad. Very good actually. Keeping me busy. Apr 02 04:13:52 nice Apr 02 04:14:24 nuttybunny: ping Apr 02 04:15:19 PatrickC_Pre: I finally upgraded my AT&T Pre+ the day you suggested it Apr 02 04:15:37 :) do you like it? Apr 02 04:15:50 I sure do and it's not slow as I thought it could have been Apr 02 04:16:00 I was surprised how easy it was to setup 3G this time Apr 02 04:16:25 I run on sprint, and its fast for me on the Pre- Apr 02 04:16:42 and the fact there was French in the choice of languages.. even though the formats for numbers and such aren't correct and I had to report it to Palm even though they probably knew about it Apr 02 04:17:06 well, it is a meta-doctor ;) Apr 02 04:17:28 I would be curious to know if it's good at all on a native Pre2 Apr 02 04:17:43 its amazing Apr 02 04:17:49 I love my pre2 Apr 02 04:17:59 next challenge, completely redo my app with 2.1 Apr 02 04:18:10 lol Apr 02 04:18:29 that should be a good one Apr 02 04:18:40 what apps are they? Apr 02 04:19:27 well, I've never released it because it was friggin' slow.. too much hacking to make things work but it will let a user add known holidays to its calendar Apr 02 04:19:54 I've good a few more ideas, probably way too many for my coding speed heh Apr 02 04:20:07 lol.. it sounds like a good idea Apr 02 04:20:25 I'm not the best at coding either (just ask sineot or sugardave) lol Apr 02 04:20:47 they helped me a lot, halfhalo helped me too Apr 02 04:22:01 Palm added a lot of features that used to be available with patches in 1.4.5 and that's great Apr 02 04:23:39 I know Apr 02 04:24:13 just out of curiosity, have you seen any app that would let a user take "GPS bookmarks". I mean, record a location and quickly add a voice memo or written note to it? Apr 02 04:24:59 hmmm. I know that there are voice memo apps, and gps recording apps, but I don't think anyone put the 2 together yet Apr 02 04:25:03 you could :) Apr 02 04:25:06 when we went to Greece and were visiting with the bus, I was thinking, it would have been so nice to have such an app to remember some good places to go back too.. there are some we couldn't find again after the bus ride Apr 02 04:29:26 cleaning up USB drive, then gonna doctor again, just for fun :) Apr 02 04:29:58 I can't wait for the Pre 3, I wonder what carrier will release it here Apr 02 04:30:14 what country? Apr 02 04:30:33 Canada Apr 02 04:31:19 ah ok Apr 02 04:32:08 you mean: "ah ok, eh" Apr 02 04:32:15 lulz Apr 02 04:32:19 :) Apr 02 04:32:33 lol, I was thinking that actually, then decided not to do it :p Apr 02 04:32:53 canadians dont say eh nearly as much as americans make fun of them for Apr 02 04:32:55 I'm actually studying Canada in World Geography Apr 02 04:34:21 and what are you learning? Apr 02 04:34:25 is 166 MB of pictures too much? Apr 02 04:34:37 hmm... just about the territories and stuff Apr 02 04:37:41 * PatrickC_Pre2 is gonna try the CMD line while in recovery mode Apr 02 04:38:00 nope :'( Apr 02 04:38:28 wait... maybe.. it hadn't finished installing Apr 02 04:39:56 it worked!!!! Apr 02 04:44:13 april fools? Apr 02 05:01:55 does anyone know if you can watch the movies you stream from netflix on your pre? Apr 02 05:05:17 dont think thats possible Apr 02 05:05:37 ok... that stinks Apr 02 05:05:51 bug them for a webOS app Apr 02 05:06:23 hmmm... or do I just make one? Apr 02 05:07:44 dohtem: wanna help? Apr 02 05:07:58 I'm gonna try and make an awesome netflix app Apr 02 05:08:46 heh, I dont think you can access videos through their API Apr 02 05:09:44 well, I can just make an app that does everything but that, and then implement that if/when they make it available Apr 02 05:09:58 thanks for the idea! :) Apr 02 05:19:30 and let the coding commence! Apr 02 05:21:18 * dohtem bangs on the keyboard furiously Apr 02 05:23:47 lucky you hit just those jeys Apr 02 05:23:56 keys i mean Apr 02 05:24:37 dude, you're... you're like totally wasted, man... Apr 02 05:24:56 and?
