02:08.04mibusbug #144 has been fixed, for those that care ;)
02:15.27florianhi!
02:15.40mibushey florian
02:17.31florianhu, its early in the morning her in this area... time for a coffee!
02:20.06mibusnah, its like 8PM, what are you on about! :P
03:58.22pigeonYo pb_.
03:58.31pb_hi pigeon
03:58.57pigeonpb_: Been playing with xft...
03:59.13pigeonpb_: xft does support pcf/bdf fonts right?
04:01.11pb_Not that I know of.
04:01.41pigeonHmm at least xft is putting pcf/bdf into .xftcache
04:02.01pb_Oh, actually, maybe it does.
04:02.31pb_I'd never noticed that before.  Most people who are using xft prefer ttf fonts.
04:03.09pigeonI have this little testing program here, which when I load a ttf fonts, it works perfectly, while if I load pcf/bdf, it always draws nothing.
04:03.26pb_Is this on an ipaq, or on your desktop?
04:03.31pigeonDesktop.
04:03.36pb_OK.
04:03.50pb_You don't get any errors or anything, it just draws no glyphs?
04:04.01pigeonExcellent. Now I got segfault for XftFreeTypeOpen.
04:04.15pigeonNo errors. XftFontOpenName is returning me something.
04:04.24pigeonBut with the same code, it works with the ttf only.
04:04.25pb_http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2002-March/msg00298.html certainly implies that pcf fonts ought to work.
04:07.15pb_You should probably ask mallum or jg, those guys understand this Xft magic much better than I do.
04:07.30pigeonta :)
04:07.37pb_Or keithp, who doesn't hang out in this channel but can sometimes be found in #handhelds.org.
04:07.54pigeonYes... keithp the guy. :)
04:43.39pb_mallum: morning
04:48.11mallumhey pb_
05:01.51mallumpb_: did you try mbdesktop ?
05:03.00pb_mallum: downloaded the code, haven't compiled it yet.
05:03.23pb_mallum: my home machine seems to have dropped off the net for some reason.
05:06.19mallumpb_: dont make me get the milkfloat ...
05:07.49pb_!
05:08.21mallumpb_: dont worry only joking
05:08.35mallumpb_: prolly take me a few days to drive a milkfloat to cambridge anyway
05:14.34pb_indeed, I guess the milk would be fairly rancid by the time you arrived.
06:03.31mallumpb_: would (54 * R + 183 * G + 19 * B)/256
06:04.05mallumpb_: be faster than : (( ((*r * 30) + (*g * 59) + (*b * 11)) / 100) ?
06:08.11pb_almost certainly.
06:08.34pb_dividing by anything other than a power of 2 is very slow on arm.
06:08.39mallumpb_: becuase the dumbadd compiler will realise it can bitshift the 256 ?
06:08.53pb_yes.
06:10.16mallumpb_: cool
06:10.34mallumpb_: dont forget your writing all the stuff like that is ARM asm BTW ;-)
06:13.48pb_ah, you need some kind fof 3117 h4x0r d00d to do that.  I think the opie guys are into extreme assembler and that kind of thing, maybe they can help.
06:24.39mallumpb_: but I thought you were  3117 h4x0r d00d ?
06:25.35pb_mallum: you must have me confused with someone else.
06:27.10mallumpb_: :(
06:27.10mallumpb_: man, I have to get off my lazy ass and do some paid work ...
06:28.01pb_:-/
06:28.28pb_you had any interviews recently?
06:30.44mallumI got this P&O job todo
06:30.56mallumand then Im working at that showstudio possibly till xmas
06:30.57pb_oh yeah.
07:17.22benmeyerhttp://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelLanding/0,1058,1016,00.html
07:17.24benmeyernew product
07:19.06pb_neat.
07:19.14pb_what are the main changes from SL-5500?
07:19.28benmeyer64 flash
07:19.40benmeyerlarger batt, speaker, mic, 400xscale
07:27.37pb_yeah, cool.
07:27.45pb_seems strange to still only have 32MB RAM though.
07:28.18benmeyereh, what can you say
07:29.00pb_indeed.
07:29.00pb_is the 5600 on sale now?
07:29.00benmeyerwell actually that is an increase sense the ram was being used as storage in the 5500 and 5000
07:29.00benmeyerdecedmber
07:29.25pb_any idea how retail price will compare to the 5500?
07:29.40benmeyerprobaly similar
07:29.47benmeyer~500 at retail launch
07:29.48benmeyer: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
07:30.01pb_right, cool.
07:30.16pb_you have to watch those ~ symbols, ibot gets all upset.
07:32.56mallumooh that is nice
07:33.17mallumbenmeyer: is it actually much faster practically that the non-xscale one ?
07:35.45benmeyerdepends
07:35.52benmeyerstill waiting on a updated rom to do tests
07:35.57benmeyerso no comment yet
07:36.07benmeyerwill have something before release of course though
09:39.35benmeyermallum: did Spencer e-mail you?
09:42.01mallumbenmeyer: no not as yet ...
14:16.18spungpb_: i think i just hit that DST bug :\
14:16.26pb_spung: ah :-/
14:18.09spungpb_: http://netman.ath.cx/dst.png
14:18.38benmeyercalender?
14:20.55pb_spung: sure looks like it.
14:23.07spungpb_: is mccarthy still looking at that?
14:23.36pb_spung: dunno, I haven't heard from mccarthy in ages.
14:24.35spungpb_: well, i remember you said calendar didn't use UNIX time.. but it does.. i think that if you used that calendar_time_s to store start time would fix this problem, no?
14:27.56pb_spung: calendar certainly does use UNIX time at the moment; I probably said that I was planning to change that.
14:31.47spungpb_: well, atm i'd say the bug only occurs with events inserted before DST comes into action (which happened with the "bla" event in the screenshot).. I don't understand why it displays the correct time but puts it into the wrong row :\
14:32.32pb_spung: there may be a separate bug in the day view, I dunno.
14:34.26spungpb_: i think it's a event_db_list_for_period() bug, because it isn't returning that event which only ends at 22:00 and it's 21:38 now..
14:34.56pb_yeah, sounds like you're right.
14:39.50spungpb_: maybe it's the parse_date() thing? it calls timegm? where's timegm? no man page, no google..
14:40.37PaxAnimaspung: timegm has a man file
14:40.59spungPaxAnima: not here :\ i have gmtime tho
14:41.03spungis it the same thing?
14:41.20PaxAnimait's the inverse of gmtime
14:42.08spungwhat do you mean?
14:42.46PaxAnimajust read from the manual
14:43.09spungno manual here...
14:45.57spungwell, i'm going to read more about DST
14:55.18spungoh well, DST is a PITA
15:15.14mallumpb_: does linux do 'prebinding' ?
15:23.55pb_mallum: what's prebinding?
15:24.32mallumpb_: something that increases apt startup time on darwin / osx
15:24.57pb_might be library prelinking, which linux can do with glibc 2.3
15:25.32mallumpb_: yeah sound the same I think, kindof where the apt remebers symbol location or summin
15:29.56BBrox_ZZzZzZzzzzHmmm, how can that work ?
17:07.38mallumwoah, mbdesktop has a bad ass memory leak
17:12.52mallumhmm, must remember to destroy xft drawables
