**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Apr 07 02:59:59 2011 Apr 07 03:05:46 what's the earliest firmware with exhibition? Apr 07 03:06:11 2.1? Apr 07 03:06:19 2.0.1 didnt Apr 07 03:06:55 Yeah, 2.1. Apr 07 03:07:20 Although it was apparently available in some 2.0.1 builds, but… They'd hardly be called proper 2.0.1 Apr 07 03:07:30 they were not 2.0.1 Apr 07 03:07:39 ok, I have my pre 2 doctored with 2.0.1. how do I get to 2.1? Apr 07 03:07:46 ota Apr 07 03:07:48 or doctor Apr 07 03:07:48 some people incorrectly called some leaked doctors 2.0.1 Apr 07 03:08:00 the leaked doctors were 2.1 correct? Apr 07 03:08:06 they were not Apr 07 03:08:18 oh.. I thought they were... Apr 07 03:08:23 They were more like 2.In.The.Middle.Between Apr 07 03:08:29 yep Apr 07 03:08:38 heh, explains my confusion Apr 07 03:08:42 2.0.5ish Apr 07 03:09:02 dohtem: just OTA (if you can) or doctor with 2.1 Apr 07 03:09:17 assuming a 2.1 doctor is available for your Pre 2 Apr 07 03:09:25 haeffb: meh, tomorrow's phone call bumped to Friday Apr 07 03:09:27 cant ota, its a dev phone Apr 07 03:09:44 GSM US? Apr 07 03:09:56 vzw cdma Apr 07 03:10:18 they are on 2.1 I believe Apr 07 03:10:20 rwhitby, has anyone found where Exhibition actually 'lives?' I've been digging around to try to find where it actively shuts down the accelerometers for rotation, and can't for the life of me think where to even start Apr 07 03:11:04 its not in the media/cryptofs or the user/whatever-is-next/.. Apr 07 03:11:07 PatrickC_Pre2: they are no Apr 07 03:11:11 on 2.1 Apr 07 03:11:24 dohtem: 2.1 not available for vzw pre2 Apr 07 03:11:24 they aren't on 2.1? Apr 07 03:11:40 hmm.. ok, I'm learning a lot tonight lol Apr 07 03:11:49 It's probably a part of Luna itself, but I'm not quite sure where that lives either Apr 07 03:12:05 rwhitby: thanks Apr 07 03:12:09 probably native, yeah Apr 07 03:12:22 rwhitby: could a meta-doctor fix that? Apr 07 03:14:16 Lack of rotation in exhibition is pretty annoying Apr 07 03:14:29 I know... Apr 07 03:14:45 I wish it rotated... I'm working on gettin it to rotate too Apr 07 03:21:18 I must be crazy cause i can't figure this out, but how do you set a class of a div in a scene's assistant.js file? Apr 07 03:35:01 graywolf336: element.addClassName('theClassName'); Apr 07 03:35:19 it's Prototype, I think Apr 07 03:35:36 sugardave: thanks, is there any way that you know of that later i can remove and change to a different class? Apr 07 03:35:50 .removeClassName(...); Apr 07 03:36:08 wow that's it.. thanks again Apr 07 03:36:11 np Apr 07 03:45:29 Does webos 2 come with the same Google map app? Apr 07 03:46:05 Yup. Apr 07 03:48:05 No love from Google at all. That app is crap Apr 07 03:48:27 Probably why 3.0 is apparently ditching them for Bing Maps. Apr 07 03:49:36 Bing maps not as good to me but i guess anything is better than waiting 5 minutes for Google maps to load Apr 07 04:06:59 BFG maps should be the default map app Apr 07 04:07:51 BFG maps flew off the "looks good" train a long time ago. Apr 07 04:08:45 morning Apr 07 04:08:54 its more functional then google maps on webos Apr 07 04:09:00 morning sandstar Apr 07 04:10:09 cwayne: ping Apr 07 04:10:24 hay dkirker! how's it goin? Apr 07 04:12:25 sineot: mojo.cookie or SQLite? Apr 07 04:12:34 anyone know the normal default background color for webos apps? Apr 07 04:12:36 What are you storing Apr 07 04:12:37 Hi PatrickC_Pre2 Apr 07 04:12:59 sineot: just some preferences, nothing major Apr 07 04:13:50 Then just do a cookie Apr 07 04:14:53 ok.. would I be better using a global variables to save preferences in a cookie or just single cookies for each preference? Apr 07 04:17:01 I've just gone and done a single cookie for each pref, but that's just me. :p Apr 07 04:19:26 ok, I'll try a single cookie for each pref (only need 1 to get the app world legal) Apr 07 04:21:05 * rwhitby notes that git.webos-internals.org has many many source code examples of cookie hanlding Apr 07 04:21:15 s/hanlding/handling/ Apr 07 04:21:29 thanks rod, I'll probably take a look at them if I need help Apr 07 04:22:06 PatrickC_Pre2: also, I think that somebody wrote an example for multiple prefs per cookie. Apr 07 04:22:39 dkirker: hmm I'll look for that.. where do you think you saw it? on the forums, or the wiki? Apr 07 04:23:13 * rwhitby points again at working code with multiple prefs in cookies in webos-internals open source apps ... Apr 07 04:23:26 PatrickC_Pre2: webOS101. Also, what rwhitby said. Apr 07 04:24:05 thanks rwhitby! I'll defiantly use that! Apr 07 04:26:08 * sugardave remembers mentioning the cookie page at webos101 earlier. Apr 07 04:27:34 I looked at it sugardave, that's where I got the idea of Using global variables to save preferences in a cookie Apr 07 04:28:35 http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=applications/preware.git;a=blob;f=app/models/cookies.js Apr 07 04:28:41 sweet, so what's the problem? Apr 07 04:28:51 remember that file is GPL, so you can only cut and paste into other GPL apps Apr 07 04:29:28 rwhitby: is GPL a good license to use? I've been trying to figure out what license to use... Apr 07 04:29:59 sugardave: I haven't put anything into motion yet, it will probably happen over the weekend, or tomorrow.. is too late now Apr 07 04:30:12 just trying to figure out which cookie system to use. Apr 07 04:30:16 PatrickC_Pre2: GPL is a perfect license and an absolutely useless license, both at the same time, since you haven't said what objectives you want a license to achieve. Apr 07 04:30:58 I know like nothing about open source... so that's why I was asking.. I just know that open source stuff can be worked on by the ommunity Apr 07 04:31:44 PatrickC_Pre2: Here. http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/ Apr 07 04:31:48 Problem solved. Apr 07 04:32:41 yeah, wtfpl is a good one if you don't care. Apr 07 04:33:03 lol Apr 07 04:33:23 well, for this app, I do care a little more then with others.. as it is for my Church Apr 07 04:33:43 I've been going between MIT and GPL Apr 07 04:33:54 * SineOt rewords it to the "what would jesus do public license" Apr 07 04:33:54 license picking is an "art" form in itself. Apr 07 04:34:27 PatrickC_Pre2: do you want others to be able take your work, change it, and sell it in the app catalog without providing the source code. if yes, choose MIT. If no, choose GPL. Apr 07 04:34:50 I'll choose GEL Apr 07 04:34:56 s/GEL/GPL/ Apr 07 04:35:15 I don't want others to take it and be able to sell it without providing me the source Apr 07 04:36:20 a big part of me worries about whoever would think to take it and sell it Apr 07 04:36:39 not the fact that they could, but that they decided it was worth their time :I Apr 07 04:36:55 SineOt: the LDS app in the app catalog did it to DrPodder, and had to be called out about it. Apr 07 04:37:10 LDS? Apr 07 04:37:12 One person tried to do it with Preware. Apr 07 04:37:28 Did they actually release the source code? Or slap a new name on it and sell it? Apr 07 04:37:46 http://forums.precentral.net/webos-apps-software/251821-legal-lds-media-ripoff-dr-podder.html#post2514747 Apr 07 04:38:33 http://www.precentral.net/installer Apr 07 04:38:47 ah yeah, I remember that old thread. Forgot what they did. I also remember reading about someone trying to sell PalmPDF for $40. Apr 07 04:40:06 Appible did the LDS app? Apr 07 04:40:38 yep Apr 07 04:41:15 both of those uses were technically in compliance with the GPL Apr 07 04:41:44 wow... Apr 07 04:41:55 anyone here been playing with node? Apr 07 04:42:08 si Apr 07 04:42:16 i thought i had it setup, but it doesn't want to play nice Apr 07 04:42:24 oh? Apr 07 04:42:35 can you try to install node-rfb and test it? Apr 07 04:42:38 HattCzech: http://git.webos-internals.org/?p=applications/hello.git;a=tree;f=node-service Apr 07 04:42:53 oh, not a node service. Apr 07 04:43:07 rwhitby: installer even uses the same feeds I have set in preware... Apr 07 04:43:08 it will eventually get there Apr 07 04:43:10 (i hope) Apr 07 04:43:45 HattCzech: is it in npm? Apr 07 04:43:51 rwhitby: my thought was to get it working in node, then make it a service Apr 07 04:43:53 halfhalo: yeah Apr 07 04:43:57 rfb Apr 07 04:43:58 tibfin: ping Apr 07 04:44:18 s/tibfin/tibfib/ Apr 07 04:44:22 https://github.com/substack/node-bufferlist/blob/master/examples/simple_binary.js Apr 07 04:44:37 HattCzech: any module that needs to be built will not work on device right now Apr 07 04:44:59 built how? Apr 07 04:45:40 npm automatically builds the c++ portion of the modules using ./configure and such Apr 07 04:46:08 hmmm, well then... Apr 07 04:46:19 well, I'm off to bed.. Apr 07 04:46:21 night all Apr 07 04:46:53 rfb appears to be just a js file Apr 07 04:47:08 something was built for it for me Apr 07 04:47:23 hmmm, it had some dependencies Apr 07 04:48:31 well, that makes things tricky for me Apr 07 04:49:16 well, can you run that simple_binary.js? Apr 07 04:53:15 erm... gimme a few, that triggered a nvm install :/ Apr 07 04:53:39 okay Apr 07 04:53:44 rfb has bufferlist in there Apr 07 04:54:06 but i tried the rfb example and it blew up on bufferlist/binary Apr 07 04:54:18 so i tried bufferlist and that simple example... and it still blows up Apr 07 04:54:27 so i just want to make sure i'm not doing something wrong Apr 07 05:07:28 any luck, halfhalo? Apr 07 05:20:05 what params do you pass to the phone app? I need it to where when a user taps a phone number it opens it up in the phone app Apr 07 05:45:20 PatrickC_Pre: yo Apr 07 05:52:52 PatrickC_Pre: nothin? Apr 07 06:18:00 morning Apr 07 06:18:59 good morning Apr 07 06:19:41 morning Apr 07 06:32:02 good night :) lol later all Apr 07 06:35:01 cu Apr 07 11:57:09 I am done with Abitur! Apr 07 11:57:11 hell yea Apr 07 11:57:17 no more exams Apr 07 11:58:28 thomaschaaf, Glückwunsch! Apr 07 11:59:23 thanks :) okay now how do I get unbenwired to send me the us activated device.. he seems to have changed his mind about giving me one for reviewtomail.com Apr 07 11:59:54 I am thinking about pulling one of my apps because of the bad reviews :/ Apr 07 11:59:56 thomaschaaf: congrats Apr 07 12:00:21 thomaschaaf, wich one? Apr 07 12:00:53 hercalendar... I keep getting reviews that others are better.. they do costs 5 usd though.. Apr 07 12:01:53 https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=de.komola.hercalendarfree Apr 07 12:02:19 thomaschaaf, I must say, the droplet of blood is a bit tasteless Apr 07 12:02:20 :-) Apr 07 12:02:21 btw have you noticed, that the https link is not completly https but it is actually loading stuff from other resources? Apr 07 12:03:41 does anybody know if it's possible to implement smth like background service to show some alerts based on interval? any examples of such implementation would be great. Apr 07 12:04:06 sandrstar, yes, definitely Apr 07 12:04:09 let me look it up Apr 07 12:04:24 phoque: ? it's blood.. should I make it a bucket or a faucet or I guess a watering can? Apr 07 12:04:43 phoque: the droplet of blood seems fine in my opition.. Apr 07 12:04:46 rehi Apr 07 12:04:48 yes, technically Apr 07 12:04:56 thomaschaaf: i like the reviewtomail service Apr 07 12:05:00 swisstomcat: hi! Abitur fertig Apr 07 12:05:03 but all women will say "wtf, its not just blood!" Apr 07 12:05:04 yay! Apr 07 12:05:26 phoque: great. unfortunately I wasn't able to find out any good/explained example of it by myself. Apr 07 12:05:28 did you ask your girlfriend what icon she wanted? Apr 07 12:05:47 phoque: I built this app for my gf.. she uses it it works Apr 07 12:06:25 sandrstar, https://developer.palm.com/content/api/reference/services/alarms.html#set-calendar-based-time Apr 07 12:07:16 thomaschaaf, I'm sure it works Apr 07 12:07:22 I think I will send out one last update taking out the functionality :/ pretty mad that the ones that use it (I because of the ads I know how many times it gets used per day and by how many people) won't vote and the others that do vote only do so poorly Apr 07 12:07:22 but still, I think it's tasteless Apr 07 12:07:54 thomaschaaf, the first thing I was missing was any actual data besides today and tomorrow Apr 07 12:07:55 phoque: thanks! Apr 07 12:07:58 a calendar Apr 07 12:08:01 recent periods Apr 07 12:08:13 the homescreen is a bit useless Apr 07 12:08:16 phoque: the ones you entered can be altered in the setting Apr 07 12:08:23 I know, I found that Apr 07 12:08:29 phoque: it shows what is needed why would you need a calendar? Apr 07 12:08:37 the date when it will start next is at the bottom Apr 07 12:08:43 and you know if it today or tomorrow Apr 07 12:09:02 yeah... but calculating dates is hard Apr 07 12:09:10 I want to know "will it be on the weekend"? Apr 07 12:09:24 phoque: using a 95% interval Apr 07 12:09:35 "I'll be on vacation in two weeks, how does that relate to my estimated start of the period" Apr 07 12:10:37 hmm maybe I will build that into the non free version because that is sadly not easily built in webos :/ Apr 07 12:10:44 there is no calendar element :( Apr 07 12:10:47 yeah, I bet Apr 07 12:11:08 maybe you could make the app add entries to the real calendar Apr 07 12:11:12 like "Bahnfahren" does Apr 07 12:11:50 use the app to only add and edit data Apr 07 12:12:03 and make the estimation a part of the calendar Apr 07 12:12:17 otherwise people need to switch forth and back between your app and the calendar Apr 07 12:12:34 good point Apr 07 12:12:43 they add event api seems pretty easy in 2.1 Apr 07 12:14:29 well what would the entry be.. I don't really like that idea... if I want to know I'd rather check the app not have it synced to my google calendar which is shared with everyone :D Apr 07 12:14:43 it doesn't sync with GCal Apr 07 12:14:44 :-D Apr 07 12:14:53 it's a local calendar Apr 07 12:14:58 just adds it to the local calendar Apr 07 12:15:07 "es springt" :) Apr 07 12:15:27 :-) Apr 07 12:15:35 everything else is in the calendar too Apr 07 12:15:45 that'd make the most sense to me Apr 07 12:16:02 sorry, didn't want to come on strong Apr 07 12:16:14 just wanted to give you some constructive critizism Apr 07 12:17:55 Oh and I was on the phone with my girlfriend Apr 07 12:18:04 she'd dislike a droplet of blood Apr 07 12:18:05 ;-) Apr 07 12:18:30 what would she prefer? Apr 07 12:18:49 she couldn't tell Apr 07 12:18:57 k Apr 07 12:19:28 okay I'm going to move to another house now :) maybe I'll add the calendar part :) Apr 07 12:19:41 heh, okay Apr 07 12:20:05 see you tonight :) maybe? Apr 07 13:42:18 what's the best way to launch the phone app for a phone number in a help/about scene? Apr 07 14:37:43 ugh Apr 07 15:17:58 hmm, I get confused: then VBox 4.0.4 installed webOS 2.1 emulator launcher says that it's not supported, but i'm able to launch it and install app successfully. Have anybody faced issues with 4.0.4 VBox and emulator? Apr 07 15:25:33 seems, it just related to creation of new emulator instances... Apr 07 15:26:33 sandrstar, I didn't think virtual box 4.x was supported... but I haven't checked recently Apr 07 15:26:38 I thought it required 3.2 Apr 07 15:29:45 right, but i need virtualized osx running also, 4 seems to have better support for this. Regarding webOS - will go with current emulator VMs and will ask somebody with 3.2 to create one for me if needed :) Apr 07 15:43:08 I think the VB 4.0 problem deals with the SDK's image installation process...if you have the vmdk, I think you can launch it manually...I just use VB 3.2, though :) Apr 07 15:48:18 yup, have read unwiredben post on forum more careful. Emulator machine get launched manually without problems. Apr 07 16:01:53 yeah they run fine, its the external sdk commands that don't work Apr 07 16:39:17 erg cow-orker is not showing up when he said he would Apr 07 16:39:22 lulz Apr 07 16:41:12 yay tasks@hand has been accepted in the app catalog Apr 07 16:42:12 congratulations! Apr 07 16:54:44 rwhitby: can I PM you ? Apr 07 17:05:57 thanks sugardave Apr 07 17:06:30 PatrickC_Pre: I think I understand what you want, but I don't see the added benefit of it. I'm affraid that it will only lead to more clutter... Apr 07 17:07:26 PatrickC_Pre: I'll try to catch some new unknowing users in the near future and try out a button which pops up urging them to look at the help page thingy. Does that seem fair to you? Apr 07 17:09:59 that seems fair, I was only trying to do it for your benefit :) Apr 07 17:10:18 cause they won't be looking for a small amount of text at the top of the page Apr 07 17:10:34 I know, I'm searching for an optimal solution :) Apr 07 17:10:47 ok :) Apr 07 17:10:57 PatrickC_Pre: you didn't notice the text at the top? Apr 07 17:11:08 I did, but I was looking for it Apr 07 17:11:19 ah, I already told you in the mail, fool that I am! Apr 07 17:11:27 ah yes, but you asked for it, so I had to say it. Apr 07 17:11:41 hmmm, complicated matters... I'll play with it Apr 07 17:11:46 ok Apr 07 17:12:28 expect the results of that in a week or 4... it takes some time to find new people which haven't played with it. Apr 07 17:13:25 madnificent: http://webos101.com/Code_Snippets#Show_a_scene_only_at_first_run_of_an_app Apr 07 17:13:36 is what I was originally talking about Apr 07 17:15:14 PatrickC_Pre: I have something in place to cope with those things already. There's a similar system in place which handles updates :) A whole bunch of the code isn't loaded unless the app needs updating. Apr 07 17:18:11 ok, I was just tryin to show you what I was talkin about ;) Apr 07 17:19:25 PatrickC_Pre: if it wasn't clear: thanks for helping out! Apr 07 17:21:20 np :) so, it was accepted? Apr 07 17:21:29 what country did you put it out in? Apr 07 17:24:22 is there a way to have one thing play when on a certain (1x) data connection, and another play when on a 3g/wifi connection with a single button? Apr 07 17:24:35 PatrickC_Pre: 'every' but it's accepted and I can't see it yet... perhaps it takes a while to get through Apr 07 17:24:58 ok, I looked for it too, and didn't see it Apr 07 17:25:04 PatrickC_Pre: I think you can see what type of connection you're on Apr 07 17:25:05 is it free or charge? Apr 07 17:25:14 * madnificent checks Apr 07 17:25:29 PatrickC_Pre: nope, launch price is 2.49 Apr 07 17:25:45 ok Apr 07 17:26:14 you'll win back much more time than that amount of money... if it sells a bit more features will come (non-users have asked me for some features, some of which are actually quite cool) Apr 07 17:27:45 owwwwwwwww Apr 07 17:27:53 cwayne: wazzup? Apr 07 17:28:31 what's wrong cwayne?? Apr 07 17:29:10 PatrickC_Pre: I can't find the answer for your question either. It's odd I thought it was there... perhaps it was only there on android? Apr 07 17:30:48 * cwayne is never drinking again Apr 07 17:31:03 cwayne: LoL Apr 07 17:31:12 I found this -- http://webos101.com/Code_Snippets#Checking_data_connectivity Apr 07 17:31:15 cwayne: tell me you didn't drive over a person :) Apr 07 17:31:16 cwayne: lol Apr 07 17:31:25 madnificent: lol nah, just Apr 07 17:31:26 ow Apr 07 17:31:34 what? lol Apr 07 17:32:36 owwwwwwwwwwwwww Apr 07 17:34:37 finished the like button last night at least Apr 07 17:35:12 PatrickC_Pre: that's all you need for your button right? Apr 07 17:35:23 cwayne: quite ironic, I would say Apr 07 17:35:39 lol Apr 07 17:36:58 cwayne: as you now probably have the reasoning power of a moron (no offense, but that's the way I am when I've drank to much), don't forget to drink water! Apr 07 17:37:35 madnificent: haha yep, im drinkin lots of it Apr 07 17:37:57 cwayne: you're better than I am :P Apr 07 17:38:06 * madnificent grabs another coffee Apr 07 17:41:44 madnificent: I want it to do one thing when on a 1x network, and another when on 3g/wifi Apr 07 17:43:07 does the new SDK offer a way to sync Tasks data (like one of those Synergy plugin thingies)? Apr 07 17:48:04 ah Apr 07 17:48:09 a Synergy Connector Apr 07 17:48:27 PatrickC_Pre: yes, and you have a check to find out on which connections you are right now... so you can do it with a simple if-loop Apr 07 17:48:34 s/loop/construct/ Apr 07 17:48:48 ah cool Apr 07 17:49:00 so it is possible!! yay!!!

Apr 07 18:11:48 hm... well for the moment (cause that's probably as long as it will last) my BF has decided to get a Pre3 if it comes to verizon Apr 07 18:11:52 phoque: I thought I read in the forums that one of the devs said something in the range of "I wish we'd have built that from the start" Apr 07 18:12:18 RagingMind: which is... good? or bad ? Apr 07 18:13:21 but nothing else burned.… so that's good :) Apr 07 18:18:11 PatrickC_Pre: that makes it pizza night for you Apr 07 18:18:24 yep :) Apr 07 18:18:24 PatrickC_Pre: or anything else you like to eat when you're too lazy to use the microwave Apr 07 18:18:30 we make our own pizza too :D Apr 07 18:19:20 YOU MAKE YOUR OWN PIE Apr 07 18:19:27 omnom Apr 07 18:19:30 * madnificent makes his own apps :) Apr 07 18:19:37 /we all do Apr 07 18:19:47 ona da webOS, you makea your own appsa!

There's hope Apr 07 19:18:33 yeah.. that if it comes out before the iPad3 :p Apr 07 19:18:47 or the Xoom2 Apr 07 19:34:21 weird question but, in the app submission portal, should I see any more device checkboxes for compatibility than "palm pre" "palm pixi" ? Apr 07 19:34:27 like Pre 2 Apr 07 19:34:29 ? Apr 07 19:34:46 i think not Apr 07 19:34:52 since the pre2 is like the pre Apr 07 19:34:57 and the veer is like the pixi Apr 07 19:35:04 the pre3 will be a new category Apr 07 19:35:08 and of course the touchpad Apr 07 19:39:40 hey Apr 07 19:40:33 swisstomcat: i think wasterhegg is completly different from your app. but i just saw the screenshot Apr 07 19:40:50 btw. welcome back swisstomcat :) Apr 07 19:40:57 rehi Apr 07 19:41:54 hay leiru and swisstomcat Apr 07 19:41:59 leiru: it's similar .. and app to display a conference schedule Apr 07 19:42:22 c/and/an Apr 07 19:44:22 maybe you can get suggestions for orientationchanges or swiping, handling.

Apr 07 20:39:14 twitter usually Apr 07 20:39:50 I buy a bunch of ads on webosroundup.com OH WAIT THAT'S BADKITTY Apr 07 20:40:01 luls Apr 07 20:40:22 twitter Apr 07 20:40:56 facebook ghere Apr 07 20:46:33 s/ghere/here/ Apr 07 20:46:43 Adora: german app cat, 2.x - first i got a 0 star review (api was down 1 day) - now the appcat-app show 1x 5 stars and under that "no reviews" Apr 07 20:47:32 or are you the false person to question this? Apr 07 20:48:00 * sugardave is horrible at app promotion. "I think I get most of my sales from other devs who see my signature at the dev forums." Apr 07 20:49:03 * PatrickC_Pre hardly gets any promotion.. I think my sales are just like sugardaves :p Apr 07 20:58:12 http://twitpic.com/4i1ui8 :p Apr 07 20:58:50 The Mac Mini Touchstone Station Apr 07 20:59:08 nice ponies Apr 07 21:00:08 They're a bit partial to the Pre2. Can't blame them :I Apr 07 21:00:16 Ghetto ass taped up Pixi there Apr 07 21:01:12 ugh wish my bulb condoms came in Apr 07 21:02:26 bulb condoms? hah Apr 07 21:02:50 oh! Ailium. How does the speed ramp up? Just bumps by 10% every 100 points? Apr 07 21:02:57 yes Apr 07 21:03:06 resets every 1000pts Apr 07 21:03:15 Maybe it's just me but it gets way fast when you're up at like 80-90 Apr 07 21:03:22 indeed Apr 07 21:03:33 but since it fills up quicker, points come quicker Apr 07 21:03:46 and then you get the reset Apr 07 21:04:05 ive survived at most 4 rounds Apr 07 21:04:09 4606 is my highest Apr 07 21:04:35 sucks i have to learn c and make it a pdk app Apr 07 21:05:28 why? :C Apr 07 21:05:38 html 5 audio is full of fail Apr 07 21:05:46 and max of 20fps on device is also fail Apr 07 21:06:01 It's not like you need more than 20fps for what all is going on though :p Apr 07 21:06:08 in chrome its 30fps and so much smoother Apr 07 21:06:12 I hit 3900 last night Apr 07 21:06:21 yeah but audio is 0.5sec behind the actual action/input Apr 07 21:09:04 if you played it in chrome its almost a different game Apr 07 21:09:11 that's pretty lame Apr 07 21:09:17 so much overhead Apr 07 21:09:21 you try lower quality audio? Apr 07 21:09:35 im using the palm recommended file and quality Apr 07 21:09:55 im sure i can get a reasonably simialr game thru the pdk Apr 07 21:10:04 its just the web interaction stuff is gonna be a hurdle Apr 07 21:10:14 hybrid Apr 07 21:10:28 all the game mechanics are done, just gotta port it over to c Apr 07 21:10:37 needs to be 1.x compat Apr 07 21:10:41 screw Mexico Apr 07 21:10:58 screw everyone on 1.4.5 :V Apr 07 21:11:04 yes Apr 07 21:11:07 me included Apr 07 21:11:08 im on 1.4.5 Apr 07 21:11:51 altho having pause is nice ;D Apr 07 21:12:40 I'm on 1.4.5, but my STUPID profile reports 1.4.0, so, as of today I'm officially locked out for buying apps (I had access, but not anymore) Apr 07 21:13:34 my power button decided it didnt want to stay in the phone where it belongs...

Apr 07 22:09:14 umm, sure :) Apr 07 22:09:33 hmm I think I might head to bed :/ Apr 07 22:09:54 y'know, one thing I noticed about those leaked 3.0 shots? Apr 07 22:09:56 stupid time stuff.. I want 26 hours a day.. Apr 07 22:09:59 Rounded corners :'( Apr 07 22:10:15 SineOt: you not in dev program? Apr 07 22:10:35 even if I was I couldn't talk about it :p Apr 07 22:11:28 SineOt: what about rounded corners? Apr 07 22:11:32 SineOt what rounded corners are you talking anout? http://www.precentral.net/webos-3-0-screenshots-maps-music-and-more-exclusive Apr 07 22:11:35 they're gone! Apr 07 22:11:41 okay.. Apr 07 22:11:41 yea Apr 07 22:11:50 shmeh Apr 07 22:12:03 seemed rather useless anyway Apr 07 22:12:27 it's useless, but it was a visually interesting feature that was different than what other devices have done/were doing Apr 07 22:12:51 and a lot of visual aspects of webOS kind of look weird without the corners being there Apr 07 22:12:54 indeed Apr 07 22:12:57 like headers and pills and etc etc Apr 07 22:13:09 I never liked the headers on webos Apr 07 22:13:09 those will look way weird without the rounded corners there Apr 07 22:13:15 always seemed ugly Apr 07 22:13:29 everything else I liked but not the ugly round headers Apr 07 22:14:09 I would like to see zip support in webos.. anyone else keep getting zip files with pics or pdfs in them? Apr 07 22:14:17 hate not being able to read them Apr 07 22:16:06 really :/ no one else :( Apr 07 22:16:23 nah… I think that's more a problem with the people sending the emails X3 Apr 07 22:17:09 agree Apr 07 22:17:21 people zip pics? Apr 07 22:17:30 that's...inefficient.. Apr 07 22:17:34 SineOt I email with secrateries in their 60s I am amazed that they use zips which actually saves ALOT of bandwidth and sometimes it's 100s of tiny files Apr 07 22:18:02 a Apr 07 22:18:08 you could always just install unzip.. ;) Apr 07 22:18:12 oh well my eyes are starting to hurn :( Apr 07 22:36:44 no crude humor in webos apps? fuck. Apr 07 22:39:58 holy moly, killer feature: 10.6 and higher: in an open or save dialog, pressing command-shift-period will toggle display of hidden files and folders Apr 07 22:40:02 ffffff this is awesome Apr 07 22:40:13 hey InfiniteLoop, what's up? Apr 07 22:50:38 herp derp Apr 07 22:56:09 "Support session established with Valborg" Apr 07 22:56:41 of the Hill People? Apr 07 22:57:52 I guess? he's my Palm support rep on the live chat Apr 07 22:59:03 pretty sure this is a robot Apr 07 22:59:35 it's funny when they go "please give me 3 minutes" Apr 07 22:59:44 and then right when 3 minutes rolls by they have an answer Apr 07 23:00:17 somebody has to put in a punch card Apr 07 23:00:18 uncanny Apr 07 23:00:30 yep, "Valborg: Apr 07 23:00:30 Can I have 5 minutes to work on this issue?" Apr 07 23:00:59 I wonder if his English to Assembly interpreter understands my response of "you bet" Apr 07 23:01:45 I had a service repair order for this but I missed the 30 day cutoff Apr 07 23:01:48 because I'm an idiot Apr 07 23:02:04 I had them replace my touchstone back and they lost it :3c Apr 07 23:02:06 Twice :3c Apr 07 23:02:10 oops! Apr 07 23:02:13 jeez Apr 07 23:02:22 Took about a month to actually get the replacement :3c Apr 07 23:02:28 what is :3c? Apr 07 23:02:41 is that a baby with a pacifier? Apr 07 23:02:55 ~internet emotes~ cat face with little paw like "oh ho ho" Apr 07 23:03:10 I see Apr 07 23:03:16 I'm out of the game it seems Apr 07 23:03:27 "Valborg: Apr 07 23:03:28 Thank you for staying online." Apr 07 23:03:37 * Tibfib never has seen :3c before Apr 07 23:03:46 aren't you like 11? Apr 07 23:03:51 :) Apr 07 23:03:58 something like that Apr 07 23:04:38 I see it all the time! Apr 07 23:04:48 The internet is a wide and wonderful place. Apr 07 23:04:55 Unless it's being really really creepy. Apr 07 23:05:44 "Valborg: Apr 07 23:05:44 Do you also want me to provide repair options?" Apr 07 23:05:49 what options will there be? Apr 07 23:05:57 like "fix it yourself with butter?" Apr 07 23:06:37 VALBORG DEMANDS BUTTER Apr 07 23:11:45 * sugardave tries really hard to unimagine buttered Valborg. Apr 07 23:11:48 Does media indexing just not work at all in 2.x? Apr 07 23:14:22 sugarlimbo? Apr 07 23:14:36 ? Apr 07 23:16:22 yeah. ?

Apr 07 23:20:44 only now do they show up Apr 07 23:21:15 that's more than a little odd Apr 07 23:23:23 rwhitby: I think this might interest you, my first app , https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.appartists.worldclock Apr 07 23:28:30 nice Apr 07 23:31:07 IGNTNUNLMTD: it isn't as fast in 2.x Apr 07 23:31:20 Because of JS rather than Java? Apr 07 23:31:44 umm, more of _how_ it's done in 2.x, not that it IS in js Apr 07 23:31:50 yup Apr 07 23:32:11 haeffb: still on the path...talking to someone tomorrow and if that goes well, then to Sunnyvale Apr 07 23:32:17 sugardave: sweet!

Apr 07 23:33:01 VAL-BORG Apr 07 23:33:03 or chome?

Apr 07 23:35:29 17, actually Apr 07 23:35:31 but almost Apr 07 23:35:35 right Apr 07 23:35:36 same thing Apr 07 23:35:42 so I actually could be your dad Apr 07 23:35:43 JFC. Apr 07 23:35:47 haha Apr 07 23:35:50 haha Apr 07 23:36:02 I bet you fucking hate connor lacombe Apr 07 23:36:03 you must be old then funkatron :) Apr 07 23:36:08 hahaha Apr 07 23:36:08 SUPER OLD Apr 07 23:36:15 i like that the new dev portal shows all the screenshots for an app Apr 07 23:36:24 funkatron: don't really know him Apr 07 23:36:24 I guess I could technically be Tibfib's dad Apr 07 23:36:35 Tibfib: yeah, but if he wasn't around, that could be you Apr 07 23:36:39 now you're the old one Apr 07 23:36:43 hahaha Apr 07 23:36:44 lol Apr 07 23:36:52 it's time for another round of "I could be Tibfib's dat" Apr 07 23:36:55 s/dat/dad/ Apr 07 23:37:08 funkatron: I don't proclaim my age much Apr 07 23:37:16 right Apr 07 23:37:17 probably wouldn't be me even without connor Apr 07 23:37:20 that's for the best Apr 07 23:37:25 I heard his mom is hot Apr 07 23:37:30 * halfhalo turns 21 in nov... it will be epic Apr 07 23:37:32 hahaha Apr 07 23:37:32 she's probably my age Apr 07 23:37:40 I hate teenagers. I don't want to be associated with them Apr 07 23:37:46 good idea Apr 07 23:37:54 InfiniteLoop: I saw your app, but it only shows 4 timezones - I need to see 5 on the main screen. No need for the header or analog clocks. That's why I'm using Global Time Pro. Apr 07 23:38:29 Shot down by rwhitby! Apr 07 23:38:39 InfiniteLoop: the calculator function on Global Time Pro is also executed in a way that is unique and highly productive. Apr 07 23:38:45 bazing! Apr 07 23:38:52 meanwhile, prewares header takes like a 5th of the screen xD Apr 07 23:38:56 hahaahha Apr 07 23:38:58 oil: yep :) Apr 07 23:39:02 lol Apr 07 23:39:11 lets make it bigger Apr 07 23:39:23 add a second tagline Apr 07 23:39:34 boom Apr 07 23:39:49 * haeffb could be Tibfib's dad's dad Apr 07 23:39:49 InfiniteLoop: but don't be discouraged, my needs are very specific. I am sure that your app will be found to be very useful to a majority of people who don't deal with as many timezones as I do. Apr 07 23:40:02 rwhitby: interesting. I was aiming for the apple clock.app interface. I could do away with the header and add a menu item Apr 07 23:40:46 * halfhalo never uses his phone for time... he is one of the rare people with a watch Apr 07 23:40:47 I'm sure the $2 rwhitby will pay for it will make bending to his whims worth it Apr 07 23:40:49 InfiniteLoop: your exhibition mode is unique though. Pity the fifth zone is truncated. Apr 07 23:40:51 rwhitby: nope, I have had to deal with my company's app on 3 different platform, nothing you say can barely touch the level of comments left by the users Apr 07 23:41:05 halfhalo: weirdo Apr 07 23:41:23 you can scroll vertically Apr 07 23:41:23 * oil would have been 9 when tibfib was born Apr 07 23:41:30 nice, got my SRO from VAL::BROG Apr 07 23:41:51 * haeffb would have been 28. Apr 07 23:41:57 if not what? Apr 07 23:42:01 Tibfib: I showed my watch to some of my brothers friends and they had no idea how to read it since its analog Apr 07 23:42:03 * SineOt doesn't even know when Tibfib was born! Apr 07 23:42:10 so, I could be his dat's dat if we both started real early Apr 07 23:42:14 * halfhalo would have been 4ish Apr 07 23:42:24 halfhalo: heh Apr 07 23:42:30 haeffb: 14 is normal, right? Apr 07 23:42:42 * Tibfib is behind Apr 07 23:42:42 in zimbabwe, yes Apr 07 23:43:09 lol Apr 07 23:43:36 argh. dish has lost signal Apr 07 23:43:56 I think I need to realign...it's barely raining Apr 07 23:44:25 get on the roof and fix it! Apr 07 23:44:34 do it do it do it Apr 07 23:44:57 * dohtem awaits hospital bed irc Apr 07 23:45:04 haha, yeah I had a customer with a weak signal today, turns out he thought the concave side of the indoor antenna pointed away from the access point Apr 07 23:45:05 heh.... only loose signal on directv when there is a crazy rain/windstorm Apr 07 23:45:48 hahahah Apr 07 23:46:26 haeffb: you are younger than my dad Apr 07 23:46:41 do you have pictures of your mom? Apr 07 23:46:44 kidding, kidding Apr 07 23:46:49 but seriously Apr 07 23:46:49 haha Apr 07 23:47:07 http://thenextweb.com/google/2011/04/06/fun-tip-search-google-for-tilt-or-askew-on-your-smartphone/ -- someone try this on webOS Apr 07 23:47:28 works! Apr 07 23:47:48 both of em Apr 07 23:48:01 but they cant make google voice work properly... bastards! Apr 07 23:48:19 huh Apr 07 23:48:22 I'm not angry Apr 07 23:48:34 !!!! Apr 07 23:48:48 Tibfib: looks like you're genetically destined to "start late". Sorry. Apr 07 23:49:14 I'm the third child Apr 07 23:49:25 the comments say crooked and slanted work too Apr 07 23:49:38 why does my home theatre receiver keep turning off and on? Apr 07 23:49:49 maybe you need to smack it Apr 07 23:49:52 because you're sitting on the remote? Apr 07 23:49:52 oil: confirmed Apr 07 23:49:52 is it because I use the British spelling of theater? Apr 07 23:50:11 yes Apr 07 23:50:13 yes Apr 07 23:50:20 Loudergood: good guess, but incorrect Apr 07 23:50:35 your dog is? Apr 07 23:51:11 that tilt shit is funny. Apr 07 23:55:18 * dohtem just had to explain a 3 line javascript function to a supervisor :( Apr 07 23:55:25 lol Apr 07 23:56:13 lol Apr 07 23:56:41 clearly you need to use more comments in your code ;) Apr 07 23:57:02 the sad thing is I know how much she makes Apr 07 23:57:20 does she monitor your chats? Apr 07 23:57:36 some days I feel the same about my boss/the owner Apr 07 23:58:18 If she's needing to know what a 3 line javascript function does, you can feel pretty secure that she's not snooping on what you're doing on IRC. Apr 07 23:59:01 good point Apr 07 23:59:14 unless it's all a ruse Apr 08 01:00:24 now this is fun http://seawitchery.tumblr.com/post/4070384205/i-started-out-clicking-strategically-and-by-the Apr 08 01:02:30 Loudergood: there's a webOS app like that Apr 08 01:02:34 SongWave I think Apr 08 01:02:37 by codeslaw Apr 08 01:07:06 Anyone know if there are any webos apps like Everyday Looper Apr 08 01:07:08 *? Apr 08 01:14:13 Hey has anyone else been having problems with the wifi on the palm pre 2? (verizon specifically) Apr 08 01:14:37 what sort? Apr 08 01:14:58 I haven't been using mine as an everyday phone... Apr 08 01:15:12 * Tibfib hasn't with at&t pre2 Apr 08 01:15:17 General Flakeness, hanging on Searching for netowrks..... if i do find anything and connect it says connection is lost etc Apr 08 01:16:03 Is there any way to run a diagnostic test or reset the prefs for just wifi Apr 08 01:16:09 other than the top left menu Apr 08 01:22:52 stupid chinese (no offense to anyone in here) Apr 08 01:23:01 bought FOUR led bulbs on ebay, only recieved 2 :/ Apr 08 01:23:21 so i thought i forgot and just bought 2 more, then realized i did buy 4 the first time Apr 08 01:23:34 bastards better send me 4 this time Apr 08 01:23:59 lol Apr 08 01:24:21 argh.. why in the hell is ebay saying my address is unconfirmed.. ive been a paypal member since 2001 always been confirmed Apr 08 01:46:28 lol Apr 08 01:46:38 Thanks for your message ,don't worry ,let me help you ,if convenience ,could you pls send us a photo of the envelop ? so I can check which worker packed your envelop then check it ok? Apr 08 01:51:57 has the opening of normal files changed since webos 1.4.5? Apr 08 01:52:44 I'm having an image and can't figure out how to open it in the emulator (2.1), yet my pre- (1.4.5) opens it fine through internalz (perhaps not the best example, yet it still shows that I may be using the correct method to open a file) Apr 08 01:54:18 I'm basically using the method as described in http://www.weboshelp.net/webos-mojo-development-resources/mojo-services-api/475-palmcompalmapplicationmanager-open-file but added an obvious quote and removed an obvious space. Apr 08 02:00:27 not the best time to ask a question, it seems Apr 08 02:00:40 yeah it goes dead in here from time to time Apr 08 02:02:17 it's no biggy Apr 08 02:02:34 I wonder if it could just be the emulater... but that'd be odd. It must be able to open a simple picture Apr 08 02:03:44 the emulater doesn't have a handler for images?! Apr 08 02:03:53 The emulator is kind of busted as hell Apr 08 02:03:55 w h a t t h e c r a p ? Apr 08 02:04:13 There's a reason why Enyo is moving almost all development to the browser… No emulator to deal with! :U Apr 08 02:04:15 webos is kind of busted as hell at this point. Apr 08 02:04:21 could anyone try out a feature for me on a live 2.1 phone that doesn't have internalz... yeah right that's no one here I guess. Apr 08 02:04:33 I don't have internals, so Apr 08 02:04:36 yup Apr 08 02:04:37 what do you need? Apr 08 02:04:45 your email address so I can send you an ipk :) Apr 08 02:05:13 Ahem. The emulator is "busted as hell" ? How so? Apr 08 02:05:32 and then you need to press "add task" "scroll all the way to the bottom" "add attachment" pick a picture and then try to click the filename of the picture to see whether or not it opens Apr 08 02:05:38 oh, hi lemketron :x Apr 08 02:06:19 Hey what does it mean if my light bar is pulsing on boot? Apr 08 02:06:20 lemketron: perhaps you could give me a definitive answer to my question :) Apr 08 02:06:29 which question? Apr 08 02:06:56 herp derp Apr 08 02:07:30 lemketron: if a stock phone should have a handler for .jpg files by default (I don't seem to see it in webos 2.1 when looking at the handlers, which is odd because it has all sorts of other formats) Apr 08 02:07:57 and you're seeing different behavior between a 2.1 device and a 2.1 emulator? Apr 08 02:08:05 userbound: could it be that the phone has warnings for you Apr 08 02:08:12 lemketron: I don't have a 2.1 device, sorry Apr 08 02:08:23 Is a list and a filterField the same as a FilterList? Is there any advantage of using one or the other? Apr 08 02:08:36 I'd be surprised if a given version of the emulator behaved differently in this regard as compared to a device running the same OS version. Apr 08 02:08:40 lemketron: I assumed you worked on the emulator as you jumped into the discussion (ignore me otherwise) Apr 08 02:08:53 I do. Apr 08 02:09:22 but I mainly re-build the SAME OS that we build for the device, only for x86, and then package it up into the SDK. Apr 08 02:09:28 * rwhitby gets out the popcorn Apr 08 02:09:35 snrk Apr 08 02:11:42 madnificent:where would i check those Apr 08 02:11:57 lemketron: I'll comment after verifying whether or not it works :) Apr 08 02:12:22 lemketron: the only things I can think of off the top of my head is bluetooth stuff, but then again, I haven't touched the emulator in a few months now that I have a dev device proper Apr 08 02:12:52 what's wrong with the emulator? Apr 08 02:12:55 userbound: just a message that appears on the bottom of your phone. That's the only thing I can think of. At least, my phone does that when I have an incoming mail (webos 1.4.5, the services seem to be evailable before fancy graphics are displayed which allow me to open apps and such) Apr 08 02:13:13 Spanska: nothing just yet :) Apr 08 02:13:49 apparently it's "kind of busted as hell" ;) Apr 08 02:14:17 I haven't seen weird things happen on the emulator compared to a real device besides what we know isn't included on the emulater. However, speed might cause issues depending on the other of the function calls Apr 08 02:14:35 I meant order Apr 08 02:14:54 Spanska: yeah, I've never had any problems with the emulator, except some weird key bindings on OSX on the latest one that we can't talk about. Apr 08 02:15:14 but I put that down to lemketron being forced to use a HP laptop now :) Apr 08 02:15:17 rwhitby: with webOS 3.0? Apr 08 02:15:29 sssh, can't talk about it Apr 08 02:15:40 and in 2.1 the screen behaves odd on linux from time to time... but nothing to worry about. (srsly minor stuff) Apr 08 02:16:21 however, since I jumped to 2.1 with Eclipse, I really have a lot of issues, error messages, compared to none at all with 1.4.5 Apr 08 02:16:38 sometimes I wish I would have another development setup... Apr 08 02:16:42 Spanska: emacs seems quite happy with it Apr 08 02:17:00 I think something must be wrong with the plugin Apr 08 02:17:18 I didn't install Aptana though, so I don't know if I would have these issues with it or not Apr 08 02:17:40 madnificent: isn't that for *nix& Apr 08 02:18:12 Spanska: some interfaces have changed, perhaps the plugin is waiting for output where none is available. If you want to use eclispe (as an emacs user, I should forbid you to use anything but emacs though) you could add some debugging statements in the connector. It's probably just waiting in an infinite loop somewhere silly. Apr 08 02:18:23 Spanska: isn't what for *nix? Apr 08 02:18:33 madnificent: emacs Apr 08 02:18:57 it works on windows and mac as well. I don't know if the webos connection will work though, if that was what you wanted to hear. Apr 08 02:19:30 perhaps I should just open up a command-line and run the tools manually Apr 08 02:19:44 * madnificent does that from time to time as well Apr 08 02:20:11 I could still use Eclipse as the code editor, I guess Apr 08 02:20:24 DNLD_CMD: Host to Card Failed Does that error mean anything to someone.... My wifis stopped working on my pre2 and thats what lumberjack is reporting Apr 08 02:20:50 userbound: dmesg give you anything handy? Apr 08 02:21:23 fucking filter lists, how do they work Apr 08 02:22:02 a lot of ERROR! sdio_write_iomem: Failed!! <1>host_to_card Apr 08 02:22:32 userbound: seems to be in the kernel wifi driver... either a driver error or your wifi card could be broken (my 2 cents) Apr 08 02:22:34 sorry about the keyboard snafus... I've had open bugs on that stuff for months... (but a hint for certain issues is to try the option key instead of shift) :-/ Apr 08 02:23:08 madnificent: :/ it's a 2 week old pre2 Apr 08 02:23:29 lemketron: ahm not to blame anyone or anything. But is there a reason why there's no file handler for images, but there is a file handler for docx? And could it be that such a file handler be added in the future? It seems a bit rediculous imho. Apr 08 02:23:40 And by "I've had open bugs for months" I mean "I filed bugs months ago, but they have not yet been resolved by those responsible." Apr 08 02:23:53 userbound: hardware can fail.. but hear around or try in an area where you know you've got an open network or something like it beforehand Apr 08 02:24:03 Probably because docx goes to the document app, like from email or browser. Apr 08 02:24:03 * PatrickC_Pre2 waves hi Apr 08 02:24:14 And because images would be displayed inline in the email app or browser? Apr 08 02:24:21 Just guessing. Apr 08 02:24:32 lemketron: I'm asking it to open an application for images, but it doesn't have a handler for that Apr 08 02:25:00 lemketron: it seems odd to me as there is a handler for roughly everything else... Apr 08 02:25:03 how's it goin madnificent? working on a new app? Apr 08 02:25:08 lemketron: it seems forgotten to me Apr 08 02:25:16 lemme see what I can find out... Apr 08 02:25:19 PatrickC_Pre2: looking at feature requests :D Apr 08 02:25:32 what are they? Apr 08 02:25:41 is your app open-source? Apr 08 02:25:42 lemketron: I was actually thinking you'd give me a 'no' and I'd be all 'owh:(' Apr 08 02:25:58 PatrickC_Pre2: not open source, you can read the source though... but no I want to get food :) Apr 08 02:26:15 Ah, Ben Combee filed this a few months back, so it's already in the system. Apr 08 02:26:21 get food? lol Apr 08 02:26:41 sorry I bashed your emulator lemketron :p Apr 08 02:26:48 :-P Apr 08 02:27:01 PatrickC_Pre2: that's why I write this app... github has free stuff of me as well, but for end-user applications, I prefer to receive something in return. When I release supporting code, I get code in return, that sounds fair to me. Apr 08 02:27:05 NOV-102505 if you ever want to inquire about it. ;-) Apr 08 02:27:18 while you're poking bug reports can you poke one about exhibition not rotating any more?~ :p Apr 08 02:27:46 lemketron: could you give me the slightest indication on where to find that? I'm a level 0 searcher, it seems. Apr 08 02:27:56 I see a bug called "remove landscape support for Exhibition" which was closed as "implemented". Apr 08 02:28:22 lemketron: and also: does that mean that I shouldn't build a workaround for it, or does that mean that I really should build something? Apr 08 02:28:34 sorry for the silly questions, they're the last ones, I think! Apr 08 02:28:36 Wait, the lack of landscape support is intentional? SERIOUSLY? Apr 08 02:28:36 and thanks! Apr 08 02:29:02 whaaaat? Apr 08 02:29:10 Well, technically it was deferred. I'll ping the requestor to see if they're still planning to add it back in... Apr 08 02:29:23 why in the world would that be something to actively remove? :/ Apr 08 02:29:32 lemketron: can you tell us where to find the exhibition files so we can fix that ;) Apr 08 02:30:06 cwayne: ping Apr 08 02:30:09 SineOt: because people throw their phones on the doc and then the sensor is nearly flat so it doesn't trigger the correct mode when it's not perfectly straight on the touchstone? Apr 08 02:30:09 yeah, I've been looking to see about patching it back in but have no idea where the file actually lives that goes "hey, accelerometers? cut it out" Apr 08 02:30:12 just a guess Apr 08 02:30:27 That was the big lame-thing about 2.1; agenda no longer rotated into a supercool mode where you could see the days of the month. Apr 08 02:30:27 If I use Save/Restore to save my app data, i can doctor then restore it after doctored? Apr 08 02:30:34 * halfhalo yawns Apr 08 02:30:37 madnificent: well, now when you actively make sure it's sitting right, it doesn't do anything! Apr 08 02:30:40 sineot: I've been looking too, to no avail Apr 08 02:30:49 you just get to tilt you head to look at the time Apr 08 02:30:50 userbound: yes Apr 08 02:31:00 Consider it requested (to see whether it's coming back)... NOV-125266 if you want to inquire about it in the future. Apr 08 02:31:25 thanks lemketron Apr 08 02:31:38 madnificent: How about driving with a device on a touchstone in the car, and the display keeps rotating as you stop or take a corner too fast... Apr 08 02:31:40 lemketron: should I hack around the picture displaying? (yes/no suffices) Apr 08 02:32:01 thanks lemketron Apr 08 02:32:10 well, when "on", obviously, not when in exhibition mode. I guess I should leave it in exhibition mode while driving. Apr 08 02:32:11 lemketron: frankly, I'd find it super cool if it would rotate because I drove too fast... but yes, all other users would disagree. Apr 08 02:32:23 you could always tell us where to find the files so we can patch it ;) Apr 08 02:32:37 so should you hack around it... I guess it depends on what your application is. Apr 08 02:32:39 lemketron: feature, encouraging you to drive safely. Apr 08 02:32:41 lemketron: you shouldn't be paying attention to it while driving ;P Apr 08 02:32:55 Why do you think I had to stop fast? Apr 08 02:33:02 lol Apr 08 02:33:05 lemketron: it depends on when Palm intends to fix that. If it's not "really really soon" then I'll work around it. Thanks! Apr 08 02:33:13 those damn poles came out o nowhere! Apr 08 02:33:23 haha, they do :p Apr 08 02:33:24 hahaha Apr 08 02:33:29 it's probably not "really really soon". Apr 08 02:33:37 * PatrickC_Pre2 hasn't hit a pole yet :D Apr 08 02:33:44 lemketron: thanks for the information! This is good stuff Apr 08 02:33:55 but even if you hack around it, the rest of the device isn't going to know it's running in landscape, and might confuse the user as they try to switch to other exhibition apps... but it's your call, I guess. Apr 08 02:34:21 No problem. Just trying to help out, while waiting for a new emulator build to finish. :-) Apr 08 02:34:51 what happened to your old emu? Apr 08 02:35:00 oh… and rounded corners on the touchpad :p Apr 08 02:36:02 who wants to help cwayne figure out filter lists? Apr 08 02:36:41 not me :p Apr 08 02:36:59 * PatrickC_Pre2 is gonna figure out cookies tonight hopefully Apr 08 02:37:50 cookies are like.... two lines Apr 08 02:37:52 The old one is... old. Apr 08 02:38:13 lol Apr 08 02:38:18 I figured folks in the EAP might want something newer at some point... Apr 08 02:38:25 but if not, I'll go home. Apr 08 02:38:28 I haven't tried to implement them yet Apr 08 02:38:36 lemketron: didn't they get one? Apr 08 02:38:40 they're really not that difficult, PatrickC_Pre2 Apr 08 02:38:45 I'm not special enough to have a new one /me goes to play with his "legacy" phone Apr 08 02:38:48 it's very seriously like two lines of code Apr 08 02:38:53 lemketron: would be nice. I mean, its not like its used or anything Apr 08 02:39:04 a put and a get Apr 08 02:39:34 sineot: I know, I haven't tried to use them yet.. I've only used copy/paste from webos101 on "pushing a scene at only first run" Apr 08 02:39:43 that's the only cookie I've used so far Apr 08 02:42:41 * PatrickC_Pre2 's phone is visiting the doctor for the second time today... Apr 08 02:45:48 brb Apr 08 02:46:25 4:45, what the hell?! where did that time come from? Apr 08 02:46:52 9:45 here :p Apr 08 02:47:45 4:45 in the cool time zone Apr 08 02:48:12 lol Apr 08 02:48:18 halfhalo: you're here too? Apr 08 02:48:32 no, wait, I meant 7:45 Apr 08 02:48:41 oh darn Apr 08 02:48:43 how the hell did I mix that up Apr 08 02:48:51 just a few more tweaks and I'm off Apr 08 02:57:00 wait, I can't open the photo's app with the right picture manually either? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Apr 08 02:59:58 2011
