Oct 19 03:28:14 eh, I'll buy 'em :) Oct 19 03:29:24 I should have pushed harder for a loaner Pre3. Oct 19 03:30:32 they didn't offer it Oct 19 03:30:41 what's the tp's screen size? Oct 19 03:32:05 1024x768, or something over 9" diagonally. Oct 19 03:33:35 helo folks! Oct 19 03:33:37 <|Jason8|> 9.6" Oct 19 03:33:47 LOL Oct 19 03:33:52 what's 9.6 inches Oct 19 03:34:19 ...

Oct 19 03:34:37 haha Oct 19 03:34:46 eighthree: long time no talk Oct 19 03:34:48 proof of such claims is of course required Oct 19 03:34:53 hey PatrickC :D Oct 19 03:34:56 hey seretogis Oct 19 03:35:02 hey babe <3 Oct 19 03:35:03 :D Oct 19 03:35:07 just got home lawl Oct 19 03:35:08 <|Jason8|> alright Oct 19 03:35:10 <|Jason8|> lemmie find a ruler Oct 19 03:35:13 <|Jason8|> i'll snap a pic Oct 19 03:35:25 lol Oct 19 03:35:29 a/s/l? Oct 19 03:35:44 <|Jason8|> 13/f/cali Oct 19 03:42:22 ... Oct 19 03:42:54 envious, halfhalo? Oct 19 03:44:11 LOL Oct 19 03:44:54 lol Oct 19 03:45:14 oh seretogis Oct 19 03:45:37 I don't understand the Galaxy Nexus. a 4.65" screen with on-screen buttons (no hardware buttons on the face), and yet it still has a huge bezel that makes it larger than an EVO or a Droid X Oct 19 03:48:50 EricBlade: ping Oct 19 03:49:00 PatrickC: pong Oct 19 03:49:05 I'll /msg you Oct 19 03:52:03 I thought it couldn't get any sillier than having an entire row of capacitive buttons Oct 19 03:52:09 but then it did Oct 19 03:53:43 ICE CREAM SANDWICHES! Oct 19 03:55:07 hey EricBlade Oct 19 03:55:22 hey eighthree Oct 19 03:56:25 "Multitasking is the exact same as cards except they go up and down instead of left and right. To be fair, at this point just about everyone has stolen cards, but it just goes to show you how far ahead webOS truly is." Oct 19 03:56:59 Given is the same UI/UX guy as webOS are you surpised? Oct 19 03:57:31 rwatkins: hmm? Oct 19 03:57:32 "i think this is a good idea" doenst change if you work at Palm, and then later Google. Oct 19 03:57:38 i haven't been able to figure out how to actually multitask in android, it just restarts any program unless i go right back to it, just like iOS does Oct 19 03:57:47 wait.. what? I never knew that.. lol Oct 19 03:58:00 EricBlade: yeah.. its.. weird Oct 19 03:58:26 Same person behind the user experience of ICS is the same person behind webOS. Oct 19 03:58:34 I suppose time will tell if Duarte is right Oct 19 03:59:00 he's landing a straight attack at the two best UXes in smartphones Oct 19 03:59:03 rwatkins: oh wow Oct 19 03:59:04 indeed. we'll see if iOS is right or Android is. Oct 19 03:59:05 and using android of all things to do it Oct 19 03:59:53 This kinda holds it's own against iOS 5. Oct 19 04:00:07 he's against iOS' photorealism and wp7's minimalism Oct 19 04:00:11 and ice cream sandwich looks alright Oct 19 04:00:15 but what does it like Oct 19 04:00:17 mean, man? Oct 19 04:00:51 I'm hoping ICS is a viable replacement for my old pre- Oct 19 04:01:16 "I'm hoping Windows 7 is a viable repleacement for my Toaster." huh? Oct 19 04:01:26 ICS is an OS. Pre- is a Phone. Oct 19 04:01:55 ICS seems fine and dandy but the Galaxy Nexus is not my next phone, unfortunately. Oct 19 04:02:08 rwatkins: I ment webOS Oct 19 04:02:10 Google Maps Navigation is addictive thing. That alone has kept me on android for a while Oct 19 04:02:12 the nexus S is my phone and my fingers are crossed for an update Oct 19 04:02:32 Pre3 is my main phone, Nexus S is my backup. Oct 19 04:02:45 I find both android and webOS frustrating but in different ways Oct 19 04:02:52 which I just used for car mode navigation two nights ago actually. Oct 19 04:02:56 webOS is really just frustrating as an OS because of the pre minus, though Oct 19 04:03:02 or that's what I like to think Oct 19 04:03:15 does it still get balls-choppy on the pre 3 Oct 19 04:03:42 in some ways the pre3 is much smoother, and but there are still the occassional hickups. Oct 19 04:03:54 man can a brotha just get 60fps all the time Oct 19 04:03:58 much better hardware, software still not fully polished. Oct 19 04:04:04 rwatkins: I wish I could use my pre3 as my main phone Oct 19 04:04:12 but I can't justify switching carriers Oct 19 04:04:16 brb Oct 19 04:04:44 Supposedly ICS still lags on the new nexus Oct 19 04:04:45 2.2 was clearly just a stopgap on the path to 3.0. Oct 19 04:04:46 which is just like Oct 19 04:04:49 what Oct 19 04:04:57 torchie: ugh Oct 19 04:05:23 that's one thing that amazed me about WP7, even on crappy little processors it is smooooooth as butter Oct 19 04:05:36 they hire an actual designer, integrate the software with the hardware, throw a dual core CPU in it and it still gets framerate drops with no extra apps installed on a demo unit? Oct 19 04:05:44 eh, iOS is smooth because Jobs would litterally have ripped your head off if you tried to ship anything that wasnt. Oct 19 04:05:47 whereas webOS and android lag with nothing open :((( Oct 19 04:05:59 so features cut, or anything to prevent lag. Oct 19 04:06:03 makes me want to switch to WP7 Oct 19 04:06:09 same here Oct 19 04:06:20 I really hope that Nokia's announcement on the 26th/27th kicks ass Oct 19 04:06:20 so iOS is smooth because Jobs wanted it to work Oct 19 04:06:24 wp7 is pretty ;3 waiting for that damned nokia phone Oct 19 04:06:40 http://swipe.nokia.com with wp7 plz Oct 19 04:06:47 iOS is smooth because it shavez. Oct 19 04:06:48 I'm waiting and seeing if ICS will keep me on android or push me to trade on craigslist for an HTC Arrive if that's even viable Oct 19 04:06:51 iOS is smooth because Jobs accepted no compromise. in other areas - say features, iOS has compromised for smoothness. Oct 19 04:06:59 iOS is smooth because it's built by asians Oct 19 04:07:05 lawl Oct 19 04:07:12 and asians are so smooth Oct 19 04:07:14 everywhere Oct 19 04:07:16 they really are Oct 19 04:07:17 EVERYWHERE. Oct 19 04:07:22 like how do they get their faces like that Oct 19 04:07:30 aside from tea and fish Oct 19 04:07:58 Still trying to figure out duarte's design language Oct 19 04:08:05 I expect w/o his singular vision at the head, its going to get watered dwown. Oct 19 04:08:10 down Oct 19 04:08:16 yeah Oct 19 04:08:26 oh deaarrr Oct 19 04:08:29 honeycomb seemed like it was trying, but either duarte came at the last minute or had no say Oct 19 04:09:14 its mentioned in the interview on thisismynext Oct 19 04:09:28 http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/18/exclusive-matias-duarte-ice-cream-sandwich-galaxy-nexus/ Oct 19 04:09:49 and of course android's a ship with no conductor and a crew of 200 million, so duarte's vision may bump up against the side of a lighthouse or end up in the bermuda Oct 19 04:09:55 captain* Oct 19 04:10:31 he says "more like driving an aircraft carrier than a zippy agile car" Oct 19 04:10:39 clearly hard to steer the ship Oct 19 04:11:29 if the ship can be steered Oct 19 04:11:55 ugh, apps don't install when in exhibition mode now? wtf? or is my touchpad just being slow as hell Oct 19 04:12:05 all I know is I feel pretty sorry for motorola Oct 19 04:15:16 maybe next round for the android reference phone goes to Motorola. this one may have just happened to late Oct 19 04:15:29 or maybe google just doesnt care, and its was all about only the patents anyway Oct 19 04:16:59 yeah Oct 19 04:17:01 $12 billion dollars Oct 19 04:17:02 for patents Oct 19 04:17:44 how much is MSFT making off them a year? $12billion may not be a bad deal. Oct 19 04:18:36 it's funny how much Microsoft is making off of Android without having won a lawsuit Oct 19 04:19:13 MSFT's making the cash on the OEMs Oct 19 04:20:00 I've heard different stories about google's android revenues, none of them leading to "motorola was cheap" Oct 19 04:20:37 mobile advertising revenue $2.5 bill, two thirds of it iOS Oct 19 04:20:41 not cheap for what they got, but potentially worth if it its keep Android from getting killed on patents. Oct 19 04:21:11 looking at how strategic Android is to Google as a company, and the value of Google itself. Oct 19 04:21:20 the question now is what is android worth to google Oct 19 04:21:51 I guess they're trying harder now because now it's worth more, what with a multi pronged ambush from siri/wolfram and bing instead of google being the one and only on other platforms Oct 19 04:23:17 spending $5k for a fire extinguisher is not a good deal, but its worth it to save your house. Oct 19 04:23:40 but android isn't the whole house Oct 19 04:23:47 ok, your bedroom. Oct 19 04:23:57 it's more like the shed out back Oct 19 04:24:19 mobile is the future. its most of the house a few years from now. Oct 19 04:35:26 so touch to share pretty much has to be the HP logo on the Pre3 to the Home button on the TP? that specific a touch area? Oct 19 04:35:40 yeah but apparently its a "software" thing… :S Oct 19 04:35:41 idk Oct 19 04:37:28 the location is the location of the hardware coils Oct 19 04:37:47 hey rwhitby :D! Oct 19 04:38:31 sorry about posing a development question, but what discipline/topic of CSS do I need to learn to use the technique that is used in webOS for image buttons, where the top-half of a 32x64 image is used in one state, and the bottom half in another state? Oct 19 04:39:00 css sprites Oct 19 04:39:10 eighthree: look out, you'll be shunned for on-topic discussion ;) Oct 19 04:39:27 s/eighthree/EricBlade/ Oct 19 04:39:42 now that that question has been answered, back to 9.5" penises and android/google! Oct 19 04:41:09 EricBlade you use "background-image" and align it either to the top or bottom. Oct 19 04:46:17 * DougReeder waves goodnight Oct 19 05:15:37 is anyone else not able to use promo codes? 3.0.4 Oct 19 06:07:38 gah i was under the impression the dashboard change in 3.0.4 wouldn't affect me but it does. dammit. Oct 19 09:43:15 hi guys. i made an app in enyo and tested it on my pre3, the pre3 emulator and touchpad emulator with the result they are all working. now i get reports it's not working on the real touchpad, any ideas? Oct 19 09:59:53 copystring1: well, "not working" is rarely a helpful bug report :) Oct 19 10:02:08 :D Oct 19 10:14:19 that's the reports i'm getting from the users :D Oct 19 10:16:54 is it in the app catalog? Oct 19 10:25:53 no, it's on preware Oct 19 10:26:25 which one? Oct 19 10:26:29 i'll check Oct 19 10:26:43 proxify Oct 19 10:28:19 ok, starting the app works ;) Oct 19 10:28:46 :D Oct 19 10:29:06 you're on a touchpad i assume Oct 19 10:29:13 yep Oct 19 10:29:17 3.0.4? Oct 19 10:29:20 yep Oct 19 10:29:23 hm Oct 19 10:30:06 there are api changes. proxify isn't updated for that yet. regardless of that i've had reports proxify wasn't working on 3.0.2 Oct 19 10:31:12 oh ok Oct 19 10:31:49 it's only 3 a line change to make it work on the TP. it'd break on the pre3 though ... Oct 19 10:32:20 hm, 2 versions then? Oct 19 10:32:57 that or one that works for both Oct 19 10:34:19 i have to look into that. but you could do me one favour. when you start the app, in the top right corner, there is the edit button. when you tap that and just enter a name in the first field at the top, does that make the "Add" button available? Oct 19 10:35:17 jep Oct 19 10:35:20 it does Oct 19 10:35:26 cool Oct 19 10:35:42 someone reported that isn't working. i don't know what he's doing that Oct 19 10:35:45 then* Oct 19 10:36:23 definitly working, just tapped the "add" button and the new proxy shows up in the list Oct 19 10:36:59 awesome. it is working then apart from the API change. at least the UI is not broken :) Oct 19 10:37:07 :) Oct 19 10:37:58 oh, but delete does not Oct 19 10:38:59 swipe to delete -> tap "delete" and nothing appens Oct 19 10:39:45 yeah, that's related to the API change. it'll try to unset a proxy which it can't Oct 19 10:39:54 so it'll stop there :) Oct 19 10:39:57 ah ok :) Oct 19 12:41:30 okay webos will really kinda sorta begin showing its age in another 6 months or so. Oct 19 12:41:44 i've still got my tin foil hat on, though Oct 19 15:51:07 I should have stayed on Ubuntu 10.04...I think I hate this stupid launch bar Oct 19 15:51:26 you get used to it :) it's the app menus in the top bar that I will never live down Oct 19 15:51:50 I can't easily get to my running windows...I like my old one better :P Oct 19 15:52:33 switching windows did get worse true Oct 19 15:54:35 bah, ubuntu Oct 19 15:54:42 it's a bit surprising how Unity is pretty much worse in every way than gnome 2... I mean I did get used to it and sure it's completely usable... but I don't see any improvement over the old one and so many annoying things Oct 19 15:55:06 ubuntu or not, it's gnome really that's the trouble :) Oct 19 15:55:15 gnome 3 is just as bad as unity Oct 19 15:56:36 also ubuntu has always been a pretty nice way for debian fans to use a well-maintained debian distribution with frequent updates :) Oct 19 16:14:07 llama Oct 19 16:15:40 Lazar_Dobrescu: I've thought of using Debian, but I'm lazy and lack time Oct 19 16:15:59 sugardave there IS a solution! Oct 19 16:16:00 windows. Oct 19 16:16:27 um, I have those, too....it's too flimsy Oct 19 16:16:47 the double paned energy efficient ones? Oct 19 16:25:18 having to go to class == best damn excuse for skipping a meeting Oct 19 16:26:29 you are full of those damned things Oct 19 16:26:55 what do i want for christmas? more excuses Oct 19 16:27:05 done. Oct 19 16:27:18 * halfhalo wants monies for vegas for xmas Oct 19 16:29:24 i want all kinds of excuses. i want exclusive excuses Oct 19 16:29:50 those are extra Oct 19 16:29:57 someone should make an excuse app, titled "this app is just an excuse for an app" Oct 19 16:30:14 LIke all of the guides in the HP market? Oct 19 16:30:21 and in it, contains a list of all the excuses of why it's not really an app Oct 19 16:31:55 how is everyone's morning? Oct 19 16:36:04 hmm, however 11.04 appears to have somehow repaired my broken laptop battery :| Oct 19 16:36:28 My linux laptop died Oct 19 16:36:34 the video card went kaput Oct 19 16:36:38 lame Oct 19 16:36:42 oh, halfhalo Oct 19 16:36:57 later I want to pick your brain for advice on my VPS setup Oct 19 16:37:09 sure Oct 19 16:37:33 someone give me a synonym for "bigger than large but not as big as huge" Oct 19 16:37:47 extra-large Oct 19 16:38:29 that's what i was thinking too. super important decision here Oct 19 16:40:39 sugardave: 11.04 or 11.10? Fixes batteries?? I'll try it later ;) Oct 19 16:41:18 I love the "scroll to top" gesture ;) Oct 19 16:42:48 in what? lol Oct 19 16:43:02 what has scroll to the top? Oct 19 16:47:48 Launcher, go to the bottom, then quicky flick from bottom to middle and then to bottom. Takes some practice, be sure to do it fast and in a single motion Oct 19 16:49:29 oh that. I've been doing that for ever haha Oct 19 16:49:43 do it in reverse to scroll to the top Oct 19 16:51:13 dealer wants to buy my car again.. leave me alone.. Oct 19 16:51:21 trade me straight up for a 2011 and i will Oct 19 16:53:18 dawm: my mom has been getting calls like that to Oct 19 16:56:05 brb, reboot Oct 19 16:57:11 chuqui: hey!!

Oct 19 21:29:03 example: http://stbuehler.de/palmcomments.php Oct 19 21:30:02 500 error Oct 19 21:30:16 args Oct 19 21:30:36 now again :) Oct 19 21:30:43 tried to clean it up Oct 19 21:30:52 shows nothing on the pre3 :) Oct 19 21:31:12 stbuehler: nice! Oct 19 21:31:39 you should accept get args Oct 19 21:31:45 so I can plug in other apps Oct 19 21:32:00 or share your code with others Oct 19 21:33:23 https://gist.github.com/1299743 Oct 19 21:34:17 for most queries you need accountTokenInfo, but not for fetching the ratings Oct 19 21:34:44 you should share this with the my webos apps dev Oct 19 21:36:47 yes Oct 19 21:38:47 hm, supporting a paid app with such basic stuff?... Oct 19 21:39:38 why not? Oct 19 21:40:15 i don't like paying for apps :) Oct 19 21:40:23 same here :P Oct 19 21:40:33 maybe you could get a promo out of the deal :P Oct 19 21:41:25 I've only bought 3 apps. Angry Birds, Advanced Browser, and Paper Basketball HD :) Oct 19 21:41:52 no need to buy angry birds with a tp, hehe Oct 19 21:42:11 I bought it before the pre2 came out :) Oct 19 21:42:24 well if you want, just forward the script to the my webos apps dev Oct 19 21:42:43 Tibfib: whos the dev of that; Oct 19 21:42:45 ?* Oct 19 21:42:58 but i guess the main problem is to find the numeric id for your app Oct 19 21:43:15 I'm sure he knows how Oct 19 21:43:26 chofter Oct 19 21:43:36 i'm not so sure. if he knew, he probably also knows how to fetch comments :) Oct 19 21:44:05 stbuehler: he might know. I think you can get your numeric id by "sharing" an app from the catalog Oct 19 21:44:09 via sms or email Oct 19 21:44:22 bbl Oct 19 21:45:25 cya Tibfib Oct 19 21:45:51 sure, the app catalog know the numeric id :) but the app catalog also knows your accountTokenInfo Oct 19 21:46:37 stbuehler: is this to build a IPKG feed? https://gist.github.com/932430 Oct 19 21:48:35 yes, i use it for http://palm.stbuehler.de/ Oct 19 21:49:24 i think it worked with preware, but there is room for enhancement i guess :) Oct 19 21:49:45 ruhroh... Oct 19 21:50:14 hmm.. mind sharing how it works? like how one would use it? :) (I'm doin school right now or I would take a look and see for myself :P ) Oct 19 21:50:18 halfhalo: what? Oct 19 21:50:31 is it just a bash script? Oct 19 21:50:45 stbuehler: FYI: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Packaging_Standards Oct 19 21:52:30 rwhitby: yes, i think i saw that already. and then i decided i want a better palm-package, so it would put the needed infos into the packages (and check them), and i would extract them later for the packages list.. i just never got to it :) Oct 19 21:53:12 PatrickC: well, it makes a Packages list in /var/www-palm for all *.ipk files in /var/www-palm Oct 19 21:54:26 stbuehler: nice Oct 19 21:55:25 once I get a host, I'll have a feed set up for myself. I just might use that :) Oct 19 23:04:19 hmmm.... i had completely forgotten how to cut and paste on webos... had to google it just now. thats pretty sad. Oct 19 23:06:24 yes, yes it is Oct 19 23:07:25 was trying to stick tracking number for my mobo in packntrack. took waaaay longer than it should have. Oct 19 23:07:30 lol Oct 19 23:09:25 just type them, it's less hassle usually Oct 19 23:09:32 if you only have 1 Oct 19 23:10:18 thats even more work Oct 19 23:10:39 i did it easily for the tracking number for my phone Oct 19 23:10:54 spoze I should think about not putting off the 3.0.4 upgrade Oct 19 23:11:14 though, the all-numeric numbered ones are easier Oct 19 23:11:32 ups... tis effort i didn't feel like doing Oct 19 23:11:59 copypasta from email worked just fine after remembering the whole copypasta stuff Oct 19 23:12:37 I'll probably get on the phone to scream at palm sometime tomorrow Oct 19 23:12:46 If I dont have jury duty Oct 19 23:12:49 what was wrong with the veer? Oct 19 23:13:30 Sent it in over a month ago for a huge cluster of stuck and dead pixels, came back without being fix apparently Oct 19 23:14:13 ouch... Oct 19 23:14:22 they just slapped a new screen cover on the damn thing Oct 19 23:14:57 :/ Oct 19 23:16:13 I was excited to start messing with it too. Oct 19 23:16:27 :\ Oct 19 23:16:42 if the store was still open, I'd say ship it to me and I'll go get you another one.... Oct 19 23:17:10 I mean it makes since it ends up like this, but still Oct 19 23:17:19 dwc-, yeah, only if Oct 19 23:17:44 if they'd done nothing but shipped it back a week earlier! Oct 19 23:18:11 Maybe if they actually knew what the hell they were doing, it would have been here at the beginning of the month Oct 19 23:19:16 I can say I've never been royally screwed like this by any other company I've dealt with Oct 19 23:20:50 are there gestures on the tp for paste, apart from typing some random text, selecting it and wait for the context menu? Oct 19 23:21:42 oh, and if you have an accountTokenInfo you can actually have some fun with the catalog :) Oct 19 23:26:26 sounds like stbuehler is learning what Impostah has done for some time ;) Oct 19 23:26:45 and taking it further it seems. nice. Oct 19 23:28:21 i just was really pissed that i needed my pre to check the reviews :) Oct 19 23:29:01 i updated the gist.. with some google skillz one can even find "free" token data :D Oct 19 23:39:17 crazy: https://github.com/documentcloud/underscore/pull/321#issuecomment-2461322 Oct 19 23:40:14 ok, uninstalled patches, now installing update Oct 19 23:40:18 * Freman crosses fingers Oct 19 23:59:17 Do i have to create a file for music?

Oct 20 01:12:37 ok, I've just confirmed I'm not the only one who suffers from a charging issue with case after this update Oct 20 01:12:44 some sort of kernel parameter got tweaked? Oct 20 01:13:05 wait for uberkernel.. i guess Oct 20 01:18:53 any pre2 people around? Oct 20 01:20:17 I have uberkernel running on my phone and whenever I so a shift+drag or opt+drag to select text or move the cursor, it moves way too fast Oct 20 01:20:38 and lags for like five seconds or so after I stop Oct 20 02:56:09 i can bring up the virtual keyboard without having a button or text field selected. Oct 20 02:56:43 pretty consistently, too Oct 20 02:57:38 MUAHHAA i found a clear, total glitch. 110% glitch tastic **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Oct 20 02:59:57 2011
