2015-10-04 04:32:23	jfred	Just want to mention, the screen dimming feature when covering an android wear device with your palm is super useful, so that would be one thing to consider for asteroid
2015-10-04 04:32:48	jfred	I've never had an android wear device before, but it's a bit striking how useless it is without an android device :P
2015-10-04 04:33:09	jfred	no matter as I'll be installing asteroid on it anyway ;)
2015-10-04 12:38:06	@kido	jfred: that's right, I'll consider it for sure! :)
2015-10-04 12:38:27	@kido	I'm not sure every watch has a proximity sensor though
2015-10-04 12:41:49	locusf	ohai
2015-10-04 12:42:15	@kido	Hi !
2015-10-04 12:43:15	@kido	I started to write a quick SDK installation guide https://github.com/Asteroid-Project/asteroid/wiki/Creating-an-Asteroid-App
2015-10-04 12:43:27	@kido	OpenEmbedded helps a lot there!
2015-10-04 12:44:06	@kido	But I still have some problems with the latest QtCreator which doesn't recognize the compatibility between the cross-g++ and the cross-qmake
2015-10-04 12:46:08	@kido	And if I setup a PPP network over adb we could get an ssh to the watch and QtCreator can automagicaly deploy the compiled software tothe watch via ssh
2015-10-04 12:49:17	@kido	I also got some interest in the "maps.me" app https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPS.ME that has been open sourced in september. It compresses openstreetmap data to provide offline navigation on mobile devices. It could be an awesome feature for Asteroid
2015-10-04 12:50:29	@kido	+ on the long term, I plan on integrating Sirius http://sirius.clarity-lab.org/ which is an open source personal assitant developed by researchers at the university of michigan
2015-10-04 12:53:00	@kido	I wonder what you think about that :)
2015-10-04 13:05:02	locusf	woah
2015-10-04 13:05:47	locusf	I'm trying to get student loan to my account
2015-10-04 13:05:55	locusf	but I'll be damned to remember how was it done
2015-10-04 13:14:47	locusf	kido: you could use sailfish-qtcreator for figuring out the deployment
2015-10-04 13:15:55	locusf	although its not going to be easy
2015-10-04 13:17:55	@kido	student loan?
2015-10-04 13:18:33	@kido	yes I'll take a look at how they did that but I'm already quite confident on a way to configure qtcreator for asteroid
2015-10-04 13:19:20	locusf	ok good
2015-10-04 13:19:31	locusf	yeah its this crappy thing to have in Finland
2015-10-04 13:21:13	@kido	ok :)
2015-10-04 13:39:29	locusf	kido: if you haven't seen already http://play.qwazix.com/grog/ <- he's Nemo Mobiles head designer
2015-10-04 13:39:42	locusf	I might have posted you that link, sorry if I'm repeating myself
2015-10-04 13:40:10	locusf	http://play.qwazix.com/grog/?p=738 <- this + voice recognition
2015-10-04 13:40:37	@kido	yes I've already seen this blog (by myself I guess, np)  he has done good work :)
2015-10-04 13:40:47	@kido	it seems to have been in pause for a while though
2015-10-04 13:41:55	locusf	yup
2015-10-04 13:42:08	locusf	I finished my masters thesis which covered Glacier
2015-10-04 13:42:17	locusf	so nothing much has happened afterwards
2015-10-04 13:42:26	@kido	oh I didn't know glacier was your master thesis :)
2015-10-04 13:43:08	locusf	ah I prolly forgot to tell you
2015-10-04 13:43:23	locusf	but glacier lives in asteroid now, thats the main thing
2015-10-04 13:43:35	@kido	;)
2015-10-04 13:43:43	locusf	too bad its in finnish only (thesis)
2015-10-04 13:44:00	@kido	indeed I would have trouble understanding it
2015-10-04 13:44:32	locusf	I wouldn't wonder, finnish is one of the most overdesigned and contrived languages IMO
2015-10-04 13:44:48	locusf	it was painful even for me, a native finn, to learn the grammar completely
2015-10-04 13:45:00	@kido	I thought scandinavian languages were easy to learn
2015-10-04 13:46:03	locusf	heh
2015-10-04 13:46:12	locusf	finnish is the exception
2015-10-04 13:46:28	locusf	swedish,norwegian,icelandic,danish are all related to each other
2015-10-04 13:46:41	locusf	though icelandic is quite a different beast
2015-10-04 13:46:51	@kido	oh ok
2015-10-04 13:47:07	locusf	the closest relative language to finnish is said to be hungarian
2015-10-04 13:47:13	locusf	which is mind-boggling
2015-10-04 13:47:29	locusf	I've heard and read hungarian and its nothing like finnish
2015-10-04 13:48:35	locusf	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_words#Finnish
2015-10-04 13:49:32	@kido	ahah nice
2015-10-04 13:49:41	@kido	I've always been surprised by the sailfishos versions names
2015-10-04 13:49:46	locusf	I think I might need to repeat myself to a finnish taxi driver if I wanted to go to Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä
2015-10-04 13:50:02	locusf	heheh
2015-10-04 13:50:55	locusf	Äijänpäivänjärvi got some hate
2015-10-04 13:51:40	@kido	well Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä is quite a special one
2015-10-04 13:53:31	locusf	yeah
2015-10-04 13:53:42	locusf	I would love to hear the wailing of that release name :D
2015-10-04 16:15:24	jfred	kido: I don't believe my watch has a proximity sensor either - it seems to be detecting touch events covering most of the screen to sense that
2015-10-04 16:16:18	@kido	jfred: what watch is it? :)
2015-10-04 16:16:24	jfred	lg g watch
2015-10-04 16:16:54	@kido	I never tried that then
2015-10-04 16:17:30	@kido	indeed it works quite well
2015-10-04 16:17:56	jfred	better than waiting for the screen to timeout, and it's a pretty natural gesture
2015-10-04 16:18:50	@kido	that's right, but I just didn't know it existed :)
2015-10-04 16:19:07	jfred	yeah, I had to look at the manual to figure out how to cause it reliably haha
2015-10-04 16:19:25	jfred	I'd stumbled across it when placing my thumb across the watch
2015-10-04 16:20:06	@kido	hehe, I never RTFMed the android wear usage
2015-10-04 16:21:45	jfred	I didn't think I would have to, but as soon as I ran into some gesture I didn't expect I was like "yeah okay I'm gonna figure out how to actually use this"
