00:00.59zootYou at Otago?
00:01.09zoot(university of)
00:01.13fng_smaYes. Have you been there?
00:01.29zootno, but i know (vaguely) one of the CS professors
00:01.42zootguy called Stephen Crainefield
00:02.00fng_smaErm... don't know him yet, I think, but wait.
00:02.36zootI've only met him a couple of times, but he came and gave a talk in bath last year.
00:03.01fng_smaCouldn't see him on the picture wall, but it is pretty outdated.
00:03.10zoothttp://www.commerce.otago.ac.nz/infosci/People/Staff/staff.htm?user=scranefield
00:03.24zootanyway, its a small world, especially in New Zealand
00:04.08fng_smaoh yes it is, and a huge bunch of Germans are here. A third of the international students are from the states (obviously) and another one from Germany.
00:04.27fng_smaNo, I haven't yet met him. Maybe he has to travel around a lot :-)
00:04.42zoothe is probably in japan at a conference at the moment, so yes...
00:05.10zootYes, he was trying to sell the outreach funding program thingy when he was here.
00:06.21fng_smaoutreach funding? What is that about?
00:06.45zootThe NZ govornment is doing a lot of things to get International researchers and students to go to NZ
00:07.15zootlike removing barriers to student funding for international students.
00:07.43zoottheir academic system is almost identical to ours, except they have modernised more
00:08.34fng_smaWell, as for computer science, they are having really cool papers down here. Especially for vision and ai.
00:09.19fng_smaI'm doing a ai paper and the first assignment was to build a trail laying lego robot. And now we simulate flock of birds. Makes a lot of fun.
00:10.09zootsounds cool
00:10.29zootare you Undergrad or Postgrad ?
00:11.38fng_smaIn germany I'm a fourth year math major, but I'm not doing a bachelor or master degree, it's an old German "diplom". So I'm rather a postgrad than a undergrad.
00:11.45fng_smaWhat about you?
00:12.22zootPh.D. (allegedly) finishing my thesis ;-)
00:12.56fng_smaoh well, not too bad :), or "sweet as" as they would say here.
00:14.10fng_smaIn what are you (allegedly) doing your research?
00:15.08fng_sma!seen neal
00:15.23fng_sma~!seen neal
00:15.39fng_smaah, do you remember how the command is?

00:16.12zootnope

13:26.55florianhi all
13:27.18pb_florian: I didn't understand your comment yesterday about the event dialog
13:27.37pb_<florian> pb__: the event dialog is tricky
13:27.38pb_that one
13:28.16florianpb_: ah, the one of gpe-calendar. its hard to make it smaller.
13:28.27pb_ah
13:28.28*** join/#gpe jg (n=jg@c-24-218-178-107.hsd1.ma.comcast.net)
13:28.36pb_is it still too big even with the new libgpewidget?
13:29.22floriannot sure... right. maybe i'm outdated... let me try
13:30.42pb_you need 0.111, or the HEAD
13:35.35florianhrm... look like this machine lacks some more updates... i should spend more time at home :-)

13:38.55florianI managed to build lua-gtk last night... that might be fun for hacking with only a pda available :-)

13:47.12florianpb_: you are right, that's much better - i'll try on some ipaq.
13:51.53floriangah stupid h5550
14:05.45florianpb_: good but still not perfect - http://handhelds.org/scap/port.25693.png
14:09.15koenflorian: what about putting the 15 and 53 in one box?
14:09.23koenflorian: like [15:53]

14:12.47pb_florian: hm, right, maybe the width of the GtkEntry widgets needs to be reduced even further
14:12.52pb_could you try changing that in the theme?
14:13.19*** join/#gpe mmp (n=mmp@85-135-145-100.adsl.slovanet.sk)
14:14.45nealflorian: Can't you reduce the width required by the hour and minutes using gtk_entry_set_width_chars
14:19.26florianhmm yes, that might be a clever idea.
14:21.43florianlet me try
14:27.32pb_bbiab, going to do a bit of shopping
14:28.26florianpb_: later
14:29.52*** join/#gpe lolita__ (n=matthias@w216-2.wist.uni-linz.ac.at)
14:30.20florianhi lolita__
14:31.56lolita__hi florian how are you?
14:33.20florianlolita__: pretty good... busy as always but i have some time for gpe hacking today.
14:34.08lolita__florian: ... ah yeah ... didn't do anything for gpe for a long time now
14:34.27lolita__currently i'm on some kinda php hacking for creating nicer apache directory listings
14:35.00lolita__... now we are so far, that i can create pdf, and certain source file previews ;) its kinda nice but ... to buggy for a first release
14:35.50florianlolita__: uh php
14:37.12florianhere it *sounds* like i should spend some time with Jonas :-)
14:37.26lolita__hehe ;)
14:37.45florianpb_, neal: almost... a few pixels are mising now. and i know how to get them :-)
14:37.51lolita__ja i know stupid php ... but its just so easy going coding ...
14:38.24florianlolita__: i know, most more complex web stuff is php - there must be a reason.
14:39.21lolita__jep florian people are getting their hands on very easy and then projects are growing and then its to late to switch to a real programming language
14:42.04floriani want to find out how lua performa on the pdas, but the bb for it will be nasty.
14:44.15florianeh performs
14:44.36koenflorian: you could embed the lua engine in libgpewidget
14:44.45koeniirc it's about ~40kB
14:47.04florianmaybe some time if it performs well. so far i need to fight gtk-lua's configure script first. (where configure is a handcrafted script)
14:53.56florianwho else has admin permissions for hh.org geeklog?

15:10.52enodrhi
15:11.11enodrI have a question about kdrive Xserver.
15:11.52enodrI want to launch the Xserver without loading GPE. I can use Xfbdev but then I need to figure how to run a simple terminal
15:15.29zeckeenodr: .xinitrc?
15:15.51*** join/#gpe toi (n=peter@d54C24BC0.access.telenet.be)
15:16.10enodrI guess .xinitrc is used by xinit, but no xinit with Kdrive
15:16.23*** join/#gpe toi_ (n=peter@d54C24BC0.access.telenet.be)
15:31.44florianhmm... what reads and executes the stuff from our /etc/X11/Xinit.d?
15:32.25florianenodr: i guess you want the xserver-common package
15:32.54florianthat one has the scripts and tools to fire up X on various devices
15:34.46enodrflorian: I looked at it, but could not find what to run... well I am doing some tests and it seems that making a simple script like: "Xfbserver & \n export DISPLAY=:0.0 \n exec rxvt" is fine
15:36.44florianit fits
15:37.49florianneal: http://handhelds.org/scap/port.4998.png
15:40.11pb_rock!
15:40.13pb_all hail florian
15:40.52florianpb_: wb :-)
15:41.03florianbbr, food
15:41.04pb_ah, I see, you shortened the text labels
15:41.21florianyes a little bit...
15:41.29pb_I was always a bit scared to do that, since it might mean that users in other languages lose out
15:41.49pb_does it fit in German, say?
15:42.35pb_it looks like there's still quite some wasted space in those entry fields.  I guess we should try to reclaim that.
15:42.57florianyes it should... packaging freed up some additional pixels
15:43.23florianbut indeed, some languages might be problematic
15:43.49pb_okay, cool
15:44.02pb_well, making it fit in English is still a significant improvement :-)
15:44.16florianafter lunch :-)

16:53.25koenflorian: I did some quick fixes to get most of the stuff into shape
17:00.57floriankoen: true, but its not too bad... with mbopus i could need some more free pixels.

18:47.35pb_would you add libgpewidget 0.112 to 0.8.4?  It seems to (mostly) fix the qvga layout problem with the gpe-calendar event dialog.
18:48.42reenoohey pb_
