**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jun 13 02:59:58 2012 Jun 13 03:24:45 hello guys Jun 13 03:26:00 I've been working on porting the Magenta project (Linux/Darwin hybrid kernel - http://crna.cc/) to the HP TouchPad, and I'm having trouble debugging output Jun 13 03:26:18 Is there any way to gain access to the device's serial console? Jun 13 03:29:40 b-man`: you probably want #webos-internals Jun 13 03:29:52 ok, thanks Jun 13 03:30:34 well my development is put on hold for a little while, thanks to whatsapp enforcing a 60minute hold time before i can attempt to run another authorization on my account, so i can tell if i completely destroyed my account or not Jun 13 03:36:48 :P Jun 13 04:08:18 EricBlade: u rang? Jun 13 04:09:29 EricBlade: is that a whatsapp webOS app i hear is in the making? :) Jun 13 04:35:27 EricBlade: ill talk to u tomorrow. im off to bed Jun 13 04:35:38 but i would love to help u out with the app testing if u need it :) Jun 13 05:09:58 who said anything abou whatsapp? Jun 13 05:11:25 whatsupp everyone? Jun 13 05:11:39 hmm. it told me 60 minutes before i could re-register my account, but the timer shows 35 more minutes, and the first time i tried, it showed 142 more minutes Jun 13 05:48:12 well the good news is, after screwing up my freshly created account by trying to connect it to my PlayBook, I was able to unscrew it by re-registering it using my own code Jun 13 07:00:24 i think i'm going to need to find a disgustingly cheap android phone for this project Jun 13 10:06:18 if i ever willingly install a linux system with a "Unity" GUI, to my any of my own personal computers, ever again, I hereby give every single one of you permission to beat me. Jun 13 10:06:58 this is the worst piece of **** i've seen since windows 2.0 Jun 13 13:04:30 quit Jun 13 13:15:23 EricBlade: use Cinnamon.. its the best Jun 13 13:15:25 or Gnome Shell Jun 13 13:18:11 I actually like gnome shell quite a bit Jun 13 13:18:21 RagingMind: im using Gnome Shell right now Jun 13 13:18:24 reminds me a lot of Mine Jun 13 13:18:28 which is why i use it :) Jun 13 13:18:38 I need a lot of extensions though Jun 13 13:18:59 extensions? didn't know it had those :P Jun 13 16:09:45 Grr.. What's up with this limitation of having only one skype account registered on the pre3 at a time? :[ Jun 13 16:10:03 At least video calling worked.. that was neat. Jun 13 16:21:02 probably a limitation of the skype binaries Jun 13 16:22:44 is video supported in any of the other apps? I think I remember YIM implementing it on PC. Jun 13 17:08:49 apps? Jun 13 17:50:51 Yeah, just wondering what else besides skype is out there in terms of video communication/conferencing software Jun 13 18:05:24 azulez: I'd guess... nothing Jun 13 18:12:17 holy balls, today hasnt been fun Jun 13 18:15:50 pc-world!

Jun 13 19:16:08 haha only in this case Jun 13 19:49:17 I don't want to do any more work Jun 13 19:49:28 acidhax: then stop doing it Jun 13 20:00:10 done Jun 13 20:00:13 haha Jun 13 20:19:55 I had the weirdest bug. In our Windows desktop client I have a web browser control display some web applications that I wrote. The problem was that you could only load ONE of the applications and the other would just not load. Didn't matter, load Item A and B wouldn't load. Load item B and item A wouldn't load. Jun 13 20:19:59 It was ridiculous. Jun 13 20:20:15 * halfhalo blames the dom Jun 13 20:20:17 And it boiled down to me accidentally using sessionStorage instead of localStorage for certain credentials. frofl Jun 13 20:20:28 it was hours of chasing around and modifying my code Jun 13 20:47:03 those are the worst Jun 13 22:54:39 noooo delicious. why would you not use standard response statuses Jun 13 22:54:48 it returns 200 for EVERYTHING Jun 13 22:55:02 because 200s are tasty? Jun 13 22:55:19 me gusta 200 Jun 14 00:21:31 Tibfib_: how goes the good fight? Jun 14 00:21:41 Oh, and just so you know, PatrickC is crazy. Jun 14 00:28:51 LarrySteeze, I couldve told you that Jun 14 00:29:16 who is this guest that speaks? Jun 14 01:59:49 LarrySteeze: I had to move on when I posted that Jun 14 01:59:52 now I'm back at it Jun 14 02:01:37 TibFib_: MIT? Jun 14 02:01:42 oh Jun 14 02:01:43 that Jun 14 02:01:58 LarrySteeze: got rejected on regular decision day Jun 14 02:02:04 what? Jun 14 02:02:18 that's crap Jun 14 02:02:41 I'm sorry to hear that man Jun 14 02:02:45 hah, thanks for that. Jun 14 02:02:58 I'm over it now, so it's not a big deal Jun 14 02:03:10 I thought you were a shoe in to be hoenst Jun 14 02:03:12 *honest Jun 14 02:03:14 I think I just needed a stronger interview Jun 14 02:03:28 did you talk about spaz? Jun 14 02:03:35 no. not at all. Jun 14 02:03:51 The interviewer didn't ask great questions. and I don't try to bring that stuff up Jun 14 02:04:09 he kept asking unrelated questions and I didn't talk much about my development Jun 14 02:04:35 I would have absolutely talked about it...in your application essay Jun 14 02:04:38 not sure why I said that Jun 14 02:04:49 My essays were solid. Thye talked about that stuff Jun 14 02:04:58 that's what I mean Jun 14 02:05:08 anything in your essay should have been brought up in the interview Jun 14 02:05:25 if you talk about dev work in the essay, it should be brought up Jun 14 02:05:53 regardless, I feel semi-responsible. I should have coached you more Jun 14 02:06:00 Yeah.. like I said. I didn't interview well Jun 14 02:06:08 oh geez, don't. not your fault at all Jun 14 02:06:22 did you decide where you're going to go? Jun 14 02:06:23 it just wasn't meant to be Jun 14 02:06:30 Yep, BYU Jun 14 02:06:45 Which unfortunately doesn't have a great CS program… but there are other reasons. Jun 14 02:06:52 TibFib_: To be honest, I was hoping to have coding sessions here in boston :P Jun 14 02:07:10 haha sorry to disappoint you Jun 14 02:07:12 BYU is a good school Jun 14 02:07:18 play ball Jun 14 02:08:18 heh Jun 14 02:09:10 no really Jun 14 02:09:26 play a sport. it's a good school and has decent programs that support your scholastics Jun 14 02:09:52 I play ultimate… and unfortunately there's no school sponsored team Jun 14 02:10:57 that's probably correct Jun 14 02:11:05 though I bet there is a league Jun 14 02:11:23 there's intermurals if that's what you mean Jun 14 02:11:45 there's a team that goes to all the tournaments by other schools, they're just officially unofficial Jun 14 02:12:31 that is Jun 14 02:12:37 heh Jun 14 02:12:43 check out broomball Jun 14 02:12:48 that was my defacto sport Jun 14 02:13:00 and if there was a decent league around here, I'd absolutely be playing it Jun 14 02:20:55 yikes, delicious also uses get requests Jun 14 02:28:06 sorry, Tibfib_. =\ Jun 14 02:28:58 I was sooo happy with them using http-auth…. and then they screwed it up Jun 14 02:29:36 you're too good for them anyway Jun 14 02:30:03 you don't need them. one day you'll be president of your own MIT, and they'll regret rejecting you Jun 14 02:30:14 that's the plan anyway Jun 14 02:30:33 and tey'll beg you for your money, and you'll say "NO. YOU REJECTED ME. MAKE ME SANDWICH NOW!" Jun 14 02:30:45 the end Jun 14 02:30:51 that's the last step of the plan Jun 14 02:31:42 AND THEIR API IS XMLLLLL Jun 14 02:31:46 THE HORROR THE HORROR Jun 14 02:32:33 okay, they good news is, they don't use 200 for everything, they just use get and not post Jun 14 02:32:39 s/they/the/ Jun 14 02:33:15 BYU's a good school Jun 14 02:34:12 yeah, it is. Unfortunately they don't have a great CS program Jun 14 02:34:29 buttttt, I can do stuff outside to make my degree from them great Jun 14 02:41:25 What services do you save your links to? Jun 14 02:41:45 I've got Instapaper, Pocket, Readability, Delicious... Jun 14 02:49:18 I was unaware BYU had such a reputation Jun 14 02:49:33 this is Brigham Young University right? Jun 14 02:49:50 that sounds more condescending than I mean Jun 14 02:50:29 yep Jun 14 02:50:51 interesting Jun 14 02:51:07 I've never really looked into it, but I didn't realize it was that well known/respected Jun 14 02:51:39 again, more condescending than I mean, but honestly, I was just unaware Jun 14 02:51:45 sure Jun 14 02:52:04 most people I've talked to have told me the same thing. "Oh, that's a good school" Jun 14 02:52:16 then it probably is, and I'm just dense :) Jun 14 02:52:46 haha, or just haven't been exposed to info Jun 14 02:53:02 I'll be up-front with you Jun 14 02:53:03 now you have :) Jun 14 02:53:36 I think half the people have probably said "it's a good school" because all they've heard about it is that it's a mormon school, and they just don't want to say that's all they've heard about it Jun 14 02:53:42 but it really is a good school Jun 14 02:54:15 I knew it was a mormon school, and I know that that's a reason that a number of people go there Jun 14 02:54:15 yeah, I can believe that Jun 14 02:55:15 I guess now that I think about it, there are a number of textbooks that come out of there Jun 14 02:55:36 it's a good school Jun 14 02:55:52 they also do a lot of correspondance courses for high school students Jun 14 02:56:08 I know because I took a couple in order to graduate early Jun 14 02:56:10 tah, movei time Jun 14 02:56:28 LarrySteeze: nice Jun 14 02:57:05 adios summatusmentis Jun 14 02:58:28 cya summatusmentis **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jun 14 02:59:57 2012
