**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 11 02:59:58 2012 Jun 11 03:05:25 Tibfib: so it is possible to keep a noWindow app open even with no dashboards open? Jun 11 03:05:55 nope Jun 11 03:06:04 the os will kill it after a few minutes or so Jun 11 03:06:41 :/ Jun 11 03:07:21 well PatrickC that's the end of that.... you will have to have a dashboard open as long as I keep that code in an app Jun 11 03:07:51 but I might be moving it to a service soon Jun 11 03:28:48 Tibfib: so... whats this new app? :) Jun 11 03:29:09 haven't announce it yet Jun 11 03:29:33 aww Jun 11 03:29:34 ok Jun 11 03:29:53 s/announce/announced/ Jun 11 03:30:00 I will soon hopefully Jun 11 03:30:26 nice Jun 11 03:30:41 im working on a new project, but don't have tons of time with my new job :/ Jun 11 03:33:57 ah, ever finished a project yet? Jun 11 03:35:37 well, never had the push to finish a project till now Jun 11 03:35:42 :) Jun 11 03:35:47 hahahaha, so no Jun 11 03:35:57 mebe :) Jun 11 03:36:11 till now, its always just been "this is a cool idea, lets try" Jun 11 03:36:25 now its "this is a cool idea that i know will be successful, lets finish it" Jun 11 03:40:05 Tibfib: you still in college? Jun 11 03:40:30 I have yet to be in college Jun 11 03:41:03 ah really? i always thought u were older then me..? (or have u just not gone yet?) Jun 11 03:41:53 I'll start this fall Jun 11 03:42:18 ah nice Jun 11 03:42:23 just graduate high school? Jun 11 03:42:31 bbiab Jun 11 03:43:15 ok Jun 11 03:43:16 cya Jun 11 03:57:37 hey, my app works better than I expected on device Jun 11 03:58:03 pretty quick too Jun 11 04:12:12 * EricBlade arrives Jun 11 04:13:48 hello EricBlade Jun 11 04:14:51 Tibfib: so you're older than both PatrickC and I Jun 11 04:15:08 most are Jun 11 04:15:27 :P Jun 11 04:15:43 seems like no one is over 20 Jun 11 04:16:22 :( Jun 11 04:16:31 EricBlade: so I was looking into how to move this code from headless app (which has many limitations) into a service Jun 11 04:16:40 JunJi: so? :P Jun 11 04:16:53 so ya'all make me feel old Jun 11 04:17:55 haha its ok EricBlade, we still need mentors like you since we don't know everything (yet) Jun 11 04:19:45 i thought you guys are just joking, ha Jun 11 04:20:28 they're the real deal Jun 11 04:21:02 haha yeah JunJi we were being serious Jun 11 04:24:00 well invalidopcode it looks like there's some kind of 'net' module in node.js .. Jun 11 04:24:38 hmm. Jun 11 04:24:45 and a 'tls' module Jun 11 04:24:53 looks like the 'tls' module does the connection Jun 11 04:25:09 but where in the service would I put that connection code? Jun 11 04:25:43 have you open sourced synirc? Jun 11 04:25:55 no, but you're welcome to look at it Jun 11 04:26:09 could I please? because that could be a big help Jun 11 04:27:05 i don't know if doing that via service is a particularly good idea, though, just because you can do it from an app Jun 11 04:27:56 the reason I want to get it into a service is because I'm trying to get rid of the "Listening for Notification" dashboard that has to remain open Jun 11 04:28:19 I don't think you can. Jun 11 04:28:57 well, thing is, it doesn't really -have- to remain open Jun 11 04:29:07 well then Jun 11 04:29:17 EricBlade: ? I'm listening Jun 11 04:29:20 I finally managed to successfully cross compile nodejs for webos Jun 11 04:29:29 acidhax: yay! Jun 11 04:29:34 the problem is, that as soon as you do open a window, then if it closes, your app closes Jun 11 04:29:42 invalidopcode, I know!! excited! Jun 11 04:29:42 yeah Jun 11 04:29:54 acidhax: what nodejs version? Jun 11 04:29:54 but if you never open a window from the app, then .. Jun 11 04:29:59 0.6.19 Jun 11 04:30:19 EricBlade: if you don't create some type of window (dashboard, etc) it will timeout and close on its own Jun 11 04:30:27 acidhax: cool Jun 11 04:30:34 root@DrSkippedFirstuseHPPre:/var/home/root# ./node --version :: v0.6.19 Jun 11 04:30:41 booyah Jun 11 04:31:14 i don't think so, i've opened a windowless app and never opened a window, and it ran for quite some time Jun 11 04:31:18 now I'm going to work on a type of "nvm" for precompiled binaries Jun 11 04:31:48 acidhax: can you replace the existing node with it?h ehe Jun 11 04:32:36 EricBlade: because that's what Tibfib was telling me and I noticed it myself because I tried it and ever couple minutes the window would close (the cleanup function got called) Jun 11 04:34:40 EricBlade, not quite :P Jun 11 04:35:52 acidhax: do you have a twitter? Jun 11 04:36:11 well, I just compiled luna service (for luna bus) on my ubuntu but seems like there isn't no reference explaining any of its API in detail. what would you recommend me if I have to create a simple test pdk app to just ensure luna-bus works? Jun 11 04:36:45 i don't really know if you can do anything with that Jun 11 04:37:05 invalidopcode, yep, matbeeDOTcom Jun 11 04:37:43 acidhax: awesome Jun 11 04:38:26 following you back Jun 11 04:38:45 cool haha Jun 11 04:39:41 Now I need to find out how to ipk package it up Jun 11 04:39:55 invalidopcode: only thing that i can think of without maintaining an app window open, though, is doing something sort of like what irc does there, and that's loop a service and an app Jun 11 04:40:29 and if you're right that a windowless app that has never opened a window still gets cleaned out, then that's not really that great of an idea either Jun 11 04:40:52 although, i guess, your point is that you'll open a window whenever there's a notification Jun 11 04:41:31 ideally, you would open your connection in the Service Assistant, which I have not yet figured out how to create Jun 11 04:42:01 so when the Service Assistant is created, open a connection with it, and then refer to that with any service commands Jun 11 04:42:22 when the connection is opened, launch your nowindow app, which will subscribe to some notification on the service Jun 11 04:42:36 have the service pipe back a dummy message every 20 seconds or something Jun 11 04:42:49 and whenever the service detects that the app closes, have it re-open the nowindow app Jun 11 04:43:10 i hope there's a better way to do this, but so far, no one has told me of anything Jun 11 04:43:12 anywho, bed time folks Jun 11 04:43:13 night Jun 11 04:43:15 oh man Jun 11 04:43:19 gnight acid Jun 11 04:43:20 is apple's event today? Jun 11 04:43:33 jesus. tech industry dies once again Jun 11 04:43:41 * fxspec06 goes to bed in preparation Jun 11 04:44:22 my gf's oldest daughter had her HS graduation today. afterwards, she wanted to go to a buffet with the family. so, we did. i am still full. Jun 11 04:45:09 my niece has been here for the last few days, and she stays for two more weeks. idk how much more i can take. she's so cute though! Jun 11 04:45:31 forget getting any work done Jun 11 04:45:45 later guys Jun 11 04:46:11 night fxspec06 Jun 11 04:46:40 EricBlade: eh.... yeah your way sounds about same way I was thinking for doing it Jun 11 04:46:49 but its certainly not pretty at all Jun 11 04:47:20 I'm considering if a native service would be an option Jun 11 04:47:57 of course, the other option is setting a ridiculous timeout on the service Jun 11 04:48:35 haha it specifically says not to do that :P Jun 11 04:48:52 or maybe have the service set an alarm to wake itself up Jun 11 04:56:42 i guess if you gave it like a 6 minute timeout, you could run a 5-minute alarm or activity on it Jun 11 04:57:08 either way, the whole point is to get a service that never shuts down, which is what they don't really want you doing to begin with Jun 11 04:57:39 yeah true Jun 11 04:58:10 also... alarms work in much smaller intervals than 5 mins... I had a 2 second alarm running for something earlier Jun 11 04:58:58 anytime i set them less than 05:00, they run instantly Jun 11 05:00:33 well I had an alarm set so that after someone closed the dashboard it would relaunch itself in 10 seconds and it worked so I set it to 2 seconds and then 1 second and they all seemed to work Jun 11 05:01:07 hmm Jun 11 05:01:10 good luck with that Jun 11 05:01:40 using the alarm the gvoice uses, mine would infinite loop if set at 04:59 Jun 11 05:02:50 you can see the code if you look at the second to last commit on the Boxcar client on github Jun 11 05:02:53 you want the users to be able to close your app Jun 11 05:03:08 Tibfib: yeah I know... that's why I disabled it Jun 11 05:03:10 they'd just get frustrated and uninstall it if it keeps re-opening every time Jun 11 05:03:18 gotcha Jun 11 05:03:30 i was just playing with different ideas Jun 11 05:06:11 I might just wait for openwebos and just built a native service (similar to the messaging plugins) Jun 11 05:06:51 or build those activity manager features you were talking about last night Jun 11 05:24:34 http://www.html5gamedevs.com/2012/06/10/finger-slayer-chrome-app-store/ Jun 11 05:24:39 someone could clone that Jun 11 05:37:27 So roku's are pretty nice Jun 11 06:13:29 cute. Can't scroll iframes on TouchPad Jun 11 06:15:35 and.. panels break with iframes anyway Jun 11 06:56:01 hooray my first patch is approved :) Jun 11 12:58:56 lulz, i just ran across one of the earliest screenshots of gvoice .. http://ericbla.de/gva.jpg Jun 11 13:03:10 and then one still long before it was ever released .. http://ericbla.de/gva2.jpg Jun 11 13:04:19 and then one as the style became quite close to today .. http://ericbla.de/gva3.jpg Jun 11 14:51:47 acidhax: great work, man. would love to read a write-up of it Jun 11 14:51:57 it == newer node.js on webOS Jun 11 14:56:01 well Jun 11 14:56:13 its not exactly replacing the existing nodejs yet Jun 11 14:56:15 lol Jun 11 14:57:55 and I don't even know if my idea will even work in the end Jun 11 14:58:30 but, I'm honestly only hoping for an "nvm" type system where your app config can specify to use node version x, and it'll download/use that node version Jun 11 18:06:56 whatup guys Jun 11 18:07:08 goog morning acidhax Jun 11 18:07:11 *good Jun 11 18:08:46 anyone else following the coverage of appls's wwdc? Jun 11 18:10:03 iOS 6 announcement time.. time to see what else they copied from webOS this time Jun 11 18:12:55 its boring Jun 11 18:13:21 siri blah blah blah Jun 11 18:13:25 macbooks blah blah blah Jun 11 18:13:28 yeah haha Jun 11 18:13:42 I dont know what I want to see, but i want something to see something cool Jun 11 18:13:44 ... Jun 11 18:13:44 "we added voice diction!" .... wait, didn't windows XP have that? Jun 11 18:13:48 gg typing Jun 11 18:13:54 I dont know what I want to see, but i want to see something cool* Jun 11 18:14:06 hahaha Jun 11 18:15:45 okay thats kind of cool, but "how tall is he?" is kind of a useless feature Jun 11 18:15:56 I still don't believe that voice-recognition is ready for mainstream use Jun 11 18:16:07 in the extent that Siri wants to use it Jun 11 18:17:32 are you watching on the engadget page? Jun 11 18:17:52 yeah Jun 11 18:18:07 okay now thats a good feature, movie times and whatnot Jun 11 18:18:14 i'm always opening up flixster Jun 11 18:18:42 yeah Jun 11 18:20:04 yay! more distractions in the car! :P Jun 11 18:20:18 oooo Jun 11 18:20:20 actually Jun 11 18:20:25 thats kind of awesome Jun 11 18:21:18 don't they already have than in many cars? Jun 11 18:21:26 its a bluetooth thing Jun 11 18:21:31 not integrated into siri though Jun 11 18:21:39 they do the processing on the deck Jun 11 18:21:49 this puts the processing on the iphone Jun 11 18:22:10 so it just makes the car a big microphone Jun 11 18:22:28 I wouldn't say "just" Jun 11 18:22:37 lol Jun 11 18:23:15 It's like how cars come with ipod docks now Jun 11 18:23:21 they'll integrate it even more Jun 11 18:23:21 haha well, it seems like the cars can already do that, its routing the input that would normally be processed on the car and routing it to the phone Jun 11 18:23:38 okay cool, facebook integration.... Jun 11 18:23:44 bleh Jun 11 18:24:21 this should've been >2 years ago Jun 11 18:24:22 lol Jun 11 18:24:38 oh, and liking apps--- thats definitely new Jun 11 18:24:59 they should have had that before.... its really a trivial feature to add Jun 11 18:25:25 facebook contact sync.... where have I heard that? oh yeah its called synergy :) Jun 11 18:25:27 yeah Jun 11 18:25:48 synergy is actually really cool once you get technical with it Jun 11 18:26:25 I know, EricBlade and I have been exploring it and its really nice Jun 11 18:27:31 all these phone features already exist in google voice Jun 11 18:29:13 "Next up is Safari. Safari is the best and most popular web browser on the planet." --- wait--- Jun 11 18:29:18 hahahahaha Jun 11 18:29:33 most popular? its not even in the top 3 :P Jun 11 18:29:42 I'm pretty sure IE tops the charts for the most part Jun 11 18:29:48 for number of users, anyway Jun 11 18:30:10 good job apple you added tab sync.... chrome and firefox have had that for at least 2 years now Jun 11 18:31:08 the brower to app push? so they added mime support? Jun 11 18:31:26 lol Jun 11 18:31:58 wait, does that mean the phone makes a request to apple's servers every tiem they visit a website? Jun 11 18:32:09 :-/ Jun 11 18:32:30 or do you embed a file on the server Jun 11 18:32:41 I don't know... Jun 11 18:32:54 gah Jun 11 18:33:01 info gathering Jun 11 18:33:03 VIP = Very Ignorant People? :P Jun 11 18:35:48 soo if you can store your passes on an app one your iphone, what's to stop malicious people from spoofing tickets? Jun 11 18:36:26 HOLD ON! Apple is using QR code??? wasn't that one of Android's key things? Jun 11 18:36:54 yeah but you can guarantee the iphone wont be a horrible screen and scanners can read from it Jun 11 18:36:58 lol Jun 11 18:37:04 unline android devices Jun 11 18:37:07 unlike Jun 11 18:37:13 haha Jun 11 18:38:01 now people are going to have to be extra careful that their phones don't die during long trips haha Jun 11 18:38:37 lol Jun 11 18:38:38 yeah Jun 11 18:40:24 woah... its amazing, its fantasic... its a map Jun 11 18:43:28 "This is very, very similar to what Google announced at its own event last week." .... you don't say Jun 11 18:45:09 its better than ours Jun 11 18:45:10 rofl Jun 11 18:45:24 haha Jun 11 18:45:45 my wp7 mango map is pretty good Jun 11 18:45:49 not vector, but still good Jun 11 18:45:59 bing results seriously suck, though. Jun 11 18:46:07 I hear that the nokia drive for wp7 is really really good Jun 11 18:46:41 i havent tried that yet Jun 11 18:47:36 ah cool Jun 11 18:48:08 this seriously looks like google earth with turn-by-turn navigation to me Jun 11 18:49:26 well, it is Jun 11 18:49:27 lol Jun 11 18:50:32 the funny part is that if apple and google worked together they could probably build the slickest maps app we've every seen Jun 11 18:52:48 i might be wrong, but they keep saying "200 new features" i remember watching the iOS 4 anouncements and it was like "over 500 new features" Jun 11 18:53:34 and I don't remember them doing so much platform-bashing in the past Jun 11 18:53:54 its not over, is it? Jun 11 18:54:09 i think it is Jun 11 18:54:14 oh Jun 11 18:54:16 at least the keynote part Jun 11 18:54:18 I didn't see 400 features Jun 11 18:54:29 380 bug fixes Jun 11 18:54:30 me neither Jun 11 18:54:31 10 features Jun 11 18:54:39 hahahah i was just about to say the same thing Jun 11 18:54:39 10 lies Jun 11 18:54:50 10 "surprises" :P Jun 11 18:55:20 lol Jun 11 18:55:24 10 more bugs Jun 11 18:55:37 no.. their "beta" feautures Jun 11 18:55:51 *they're Jun 11 19:00:44 well that was fun.. Jun 11 19:01:47 hahahah John Kneeland (talking about the new macbook): The laptop for the 1% of the rest of us Jun 11 19:02:54 lol Jun 11 19:44:32 invalidopcode: Safari counts as "most popular web browser" because nearly all mobile devices identify as it Jun 11 19:45:01 hey look who's been reading the backlog Jun 11 19:45:06 haha true Jun 11 19:45:49 didn't at one point in time everything identify itself as Mozilla? Jun 11 19:46:01 and mainly still do? Jun 11 19:46:07 everything does, that's why they added a new version string to the browser identification Jun 11 19:46:58 practically every browser on earth starts with Mozilla/5.0 to indicate that it's Netscape compatible lol Jun 11 19:48:08 ah hahah okay Jun 11 19:49:02 hey did anyone see this article? it uses wIRC http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/seamlessly-extending-irc-mobile-devices Jun 11 19:54:13 that's actually funny Jun 11 20:13:17 iOS 6 won't be available on iPad 1? Jun 11 20:14:16 i bet that new macbook pro display is freakin beautiful. Too bad it's a Mac. Jun 11 20:15:15 yeah Jun 11 20:15:31 and too bad games still won't support mac os Jun 11 20:15:43 Dungeon Defenders works on Mac Jun 11 20:15:49 so unless you're a videographer or a photographer Jun 11 20:15:52 or... Jun 11 20:16:37 lol -- so I have npm working on webos --- but the npm repo is a 30mb list Jun 11 20:16:56 It's not fast, either. Jun 11 20:16:59 acidhax: how are you loading it? Jun 11 20:17:13 well I just tried an npm search Jun 11 20:17:18 it's CouchDB-backed, so you could (in theory) replicate it to db8 Jun 11 20:17:33 we'd have to modify npm Jun 11 20:17:36 odd...that shouldn't pull the whole 30 mb list Jun 11 20:17:48 npm's already prepped for multiple repositories Jun 11 20:17:57 so you can "fork" on that's webOS specific Jun 11 20:18:26 root@DrSkippedFirstuseHPPre:/opt/lib/node_modules/npm/bin# node-v0.6.19 npm-cli.js search irc :::: npm WARN Building the local index for the first time, please be patient ::::: npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/-/all Jun 11 20:18:39 24957736 2012-06-11 16:13 all Jun 11 20:18:57 lol the list is too big for the pre 2's memory Jun 11 20:19:35 ah, didn't realized it kept a local list... Jun 11 20:19:37 hrm Jun 11 20:19:46 maybe you can shut off caching from the command line? Jun 11 20:19:58 (caution: obvious speed consequences) Jun 11 20:21:08 yeah Jun 11 20:21:18 It'd be better to have a webservice Jun 11 20:27:13 OR not use npm at all Jun 11 20:33:19 actually its still usable Jun 11 20:33:22 just dont do a search Jun 11 20:34:39 so, i'm curious what your overall plan is for this, acidhax Jun 11 20:36:09 world domination Jun 11 20:39:03 overall plan? easy. Selectable node.js versions for a service. Jun 11 20:39:10 so, just to illustrate how supremely bad I am at styling things, I finally put some content on my main webpage, using Enyo .. http://ericbla.de/ Jun 11 20:39:13 without breaking the system version.. Jun 11 20:39:28 oh man Jun 11 20:39:31 that's so bad Jun 11 20:39:40 lol Jun 11 20:40:01 Why don't you just buy a template? Jun 11 20:41:38 It'd just be nice to create a service with a node.js version that you're aware of, instead of this ancient webos thing Jun 11 20:41:39 :P: Jun 11 20:41:51 EricBlade: holy cow... why is it in a little box?

Jun 11 22:06:36 * halfhalo twitches Jun 11 22:07:25 i just have a simple question about them :P Jun 11 22:07:25 if i could figure out how the "podcast" function in subsonic works i might Jun 11 22:07:35 how important is the intro/outro to you? Jun 11 22:08:09 I hate those, when I hear them Jun 11 22:08:35 so when you listen to a podcast, you would prefer to just hear the people talk? and not the intro/outro? Jun 11 23:23:33 a small intro is fine Jun 11 23:23:41 but the 30 second ones are ridiculous Jun 12 02:18:32 So, my news feed app just came up with "Coroner rules dingo to blame for Astralian baby's death - CNN" .. is this some kind of joke?
