!webos seriously youtube gives no results for webos?
-
@alphakamp What is webos? Sorry. :D
-
@alphakamp What exactly are you trying to do with webos?
-
@mu palmpre linux based os
-
@mu yeah its strange searching youtube on the device finds nothing, i was just looking for some dev videos
-
@alphakamp The very first result from the link is a howto develop? When did you get one?
-
@mu ive had one for about a month and a half now
-
@alphakamp You may have been asked this before, but how do you feel about it?
-
@mu i like it, except that batt, but i can work with that
-
@alphakamp How long does it last? And how many copies of httpd are you running off it? :D
-
@mu i actully disabled sshd/ssftp to help with batt life, but with heavy use 4-6 hrs, 0 use all day
-
@alphakamp What good is 0 use really? I sometimes dont understand the whole point of standby time.
-
@alphakamp Its a pretty useless spec. Nobody buys a phone to just have it lying around.
-
@alphakamp They should have a testing process that subjects the phone to a set of everyday set of operations.
-
@mu well its a judge of how long it will last in standby, 3 days in standby is certainly better than 1hr in standby :p
-
@alphakamp And then they should factor in the variations in conditions - signal strength, WiFi, multitasking...
-
@alphakamp A realistic figure is what most users would be happy with.
-
@alphakamp Most people get pissed off when 9 hr talktimes are reported and we end up getting only 1/3rd of that.
-
@mu i agreed but one mans heavy usage is a another mans light usage
-
@alphakamp Maybe Im being foolish to be taken in by figures like 9 hours, but still, why lie to my face.
-
@mu aye yeah the figures are always way off
-
@alphakamp But still, they should be giving us a usage/battery-life scale which illustrates it more clearly.
-
@mu aye, but they never will its their goal to be vague
-
@alphakamp One day's usage is more than enough for most people. Just assure me that it'll last a day, that's enough.
-
@mu aye sadly the pre does not last a day :(
-
@alphakamp Telling somebody, 300 hrs on standby is useless.
-
@mu your preaching to the choir buddy :)
-
@alphakamp Im sorry, but the battery life on most cellphones, except some of the mainstream ones that Nokia makes...
-
@alphakamp has been extremely disappointing. Motorolas phones tops the list of crappy battery life.
-
@mu I agree its disappointing, it seems like all the advances in cell tech, why has the batt lagged behind?
-
@mu also one defense of the pre, it charges very quickly
-
@mu 30% in about 30-40 mins
-
@alphakamp Except the ones without a removable battery. HINT HINT! :D
-
@mu lol there was more too :P http://ur1.ca/8tir
-
@alphakamp Its hard to keep charge stored up, when it doesnt want to be.
-
i think its safe to say @mu is passionate about cellphone battery lies!
-
@alphakamp Oh, dont get me started on BSNLs (http://bsnl.co.in/) terrible service.
-
@mu in other news; how goes your laconica setup?
-
@alphakamp In fact my friend and I had a long and rambling argument/conversation regarding that.
-
@alphakamp :-) Well, its not up now, I had to take the VM down to do other things.
-
@alphakamp But I did setup an instance at http://blogwall.x10hosting.com/
-
@alphakamp albeit without the xmpp channel. I miss that. Twhirl isnt fast enough, and I dislike hitting refresh.
-
@alphakamp I'm running 0.9, what are you running?
-
@mu 0.8 pre identicas release of it
-
@alphakamp Does pre-0.8 have the slidey stuff? Oh, wait, I think thats where I first saw it.
-
@alphakamp What hardware do you use?
-
@mu slidey stuff? this was to test first implementation of in_context
-
@mu i have a linode
-
@alphakamp Oh! Thats just my tired brain restructuring words into a more efficient parseable form.
-
@alphakamp Im taking that as a linux node. Please tell me Im right.
-
@mu heh, well my brain must not be efficient because it does not compute
-
@mu linode.com indeed
-
@alphakamp Ah, its nice. I wish I could afford a host.
-
@alphakamp Sadly, when I want full root control, I find it best (read most affordable) when I use my own host.
-
@mu i *cant* but i decided i *cant* live without it :p
-
@mu i gauged the electricty bill, i decided taht a linode would be cheaper
-
@alphakamp :-) True. And it's scary to think that if a conversation like this happened on my laconica instance, it would be down!
-
@mu I just think its overworked and aged as well (for a modem)
-
@alphakamp Good morning. I must hit bed before sun rises. Dont want him to catch me awake.
-
@alphakamp Also, if you check out the context. Its probably the longest conversation Ive ever seen!
-
@alphakamp, @marjoleink, @bugabundo, @stav, @fta and the rest. Goodnight.
-
sweet dreams, @mu!
-
!newword "nicebots": not evil. Bravo, @mu http://identi.ca/notice/7884863 !words
