| 15:18 |  | mr_lou | So apparently the new Nokia 3310 3G version should be able to run JavaME. |

| 15:19 |  | mr_lou | New life to JavaME!  \o/ | 
        
| 15:19 |  | mr_lou | Soon ##j2me will thrive again! | 
        
| 15:40 |  | mr_lou | No? |

| 16:37 |  | xCA7BABE5 | <mr_lou> New life to JavaME! | 
        
| 16:37 |  | xCA7BABE5 | but will sufficient people give a fuck to get the ball rolling? | 
        
| 16:37 |  | xCA7BABE5 | that is the question | 
        
| 16:37 |  | xCA7BABE5 | butt | 
        
| 16:38 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I estimate that the answer is | 
        
| 16:38 |  | xCA7BABE5 | NO | 
        
| 16:39 |  | aditsu | JavaMeh | 
        
| 16:41 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I wonder | 
        
| 16:42 |  | xCA7BABE5 | what is out there in terms of java midi softsynth that is not Sun's implementation | 
        
| 16:43 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I have a rudimentary midi sequencer for J2ME that I decompiled and modded | 
        
| 16:43 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I wouldn't mind a J2SE port to have handy on my phone | 
        
| 16:47 |  | aditsu | xCA7BABE5: you're CatButts, right? | 
        
| 16:48 |  | xCA7BABE5 | yes | 
        
| 16:48 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I changed name as a parody to another nick in here :P | 
        
| 16:48 |  | aditsu | I just realized we're compatriots | 
        
| 16:49 |  | xCA7BABE5 | >hk | 
        
| 16:49 |  | aditsu | da :p | 
        
| 16:49 |  | xCA7BABE5 | what tld is that | 
        
| 16:49 |  | aditsu | Hong Kong | 
        
| 16:49 |  | xCA7BABE5 | cum ai ajuns acolo sus? | 
        
| 16:49 |  | xCA7BABE5 | da-te gios imediat! | 
        
| 16:49 |  | aditsu | by plane :p | 
        
| 16:50 |  | xCA7BABE5 | cu parasuta | 
        
| 16:50 |  | xCA7BABE5 | the Internet is a small place | 
        
| 16:52 |  | xCA7BABE5 | now your nick makes sense | 
        
| 16:52 |  | xCA7BABE5 | a pampering/distorition of Adi/Adrian | 
        
| 16:52 |  | xCA7BABE5 | adi[tz]u | 
        
| 16:53 |  | aditsu | ^_^ | 
        
| 16:53 |  | aditsu | are you looking for the ț ? | 
        
| 16:53 |  | xCA7BABE5 | *distortion | 
        
| 16:53 |  | aditsu | I call it a diminutive | 
        
| 16:53 |  | xCA7BABE5 | a pampered diminutive | 
        
| 16:57 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I can't be arsed to wield non-ansi characters in IRC | 
        
| 16:57 |  | xCA7BABE5 | *weild | 
        
| 16:57 |  | xCA7BABE5 | wield | 
        
| 16:57 |  | xCA7BABE5 | blah | 
        
| 16:58 |  | xCA7BABE5 | English is an unphonetical mess of a language | 
        
| 16:58 |  | aditsu | you just need a good keyboard layout | 
        
| 16:58 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I learned it in childhood from undubbed cartoon network and vidja gaems | 
        
| 16:58 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I can't even be arsed that | 
        
| 16:59 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I live with exactly one layout | 
        
| 17:14 |  | aditsu | 好啦 | 
        
| 17:15 |  | xCA7BABE5 | sorry, I don't have vocalization package for that kind of runes installed | 
        
| 17:15 |  | aditsu | 冇問題 | 
        
| 17:15 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I say vocalization because, reading and writing automagically produces sound in my head | 
        
| 17:16 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I write from sound | 
        
| 17:16 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I read sound | 
        
| 17:16 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I think it's called subvocalization | 
        
| 17:16 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I | 
        
| 17:16 |  | aditsu | but English is not a phonetic language | 
        
| 17:17 |  | xCA7BABE5 | yes | 
        
| 17:17 |  | xCA7BABE5 | none the less, I have rules intuitively jammed in place for vocalization, for this tongue | 
        
| 17:17 |  | xCA7BABE5 | which work, most of the times | 
        
| 17:18 |  | mr_lou | Well, I'm tired of smartphones. | 
        
| 17:18 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I don't blame you | 
        
| 17:18 |  | mr_lou | I may buy the Nokia 3310 3G just for the buttons and non smart-os. | 
        
| 17:18 |  | mr_lou | And being able to run JavaME helps. | 
        
| 17:18 |  | mr_lou | None of that "Android Java" for me thanks. | 
        
| 17:19 |  | mr_lou | In other news; Kodi v18 (Leia) should be able to play my 8-bit Memoirs project! \o/ | 
        
| 17:19 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I wonder if you ever had contact with PalmOS | 
        
| 17:19 |  | mr_lou | Um.... I don't remember. | 
        
| 17:20 |  | mr_lou | bbl, dinner time. | 
        
| 17:26 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I hold good impressions of PalmOS from the reading I've done so far | 
        
| 17:26 |  | xCA7BABE5 | same I did with Maemo and Nokia N900 | 
        
| 17:26 |  | xCA7BABE5 | until I bought and used the phone :P | 
        
| 17:26 |  | xCA7BABE5 | it's painfully linux | 
        
| 17:26 |  | xCA7BABE5 | Android is not linux | 
        
| 17:26 |  | xCA7BABE5 | this damned well is | 
        
| 17:27 |  | xCA7BABE5 | hell, you get X Terminal out of the box | 
        
| 17:28 |  | xCA7BABE5 | regretably, you have an old kernel and old libs | 
        
| 17:28 |  | xCA7BABE5 | so porting things to it will probably hurt a bit | 
        
| 17:28 |  | xCA7BABE5 | and the software selection for it will suffer because of this | 
        
| 17:29 |  | xCA7BABE5 | to describe this phone, it's a nerd toy | 
        
| 17:30 |  | xCA7BABE5 | Palm goes the no-bullshit simplicity way | 
        
| 17:34 |  | xCA7BABE5 | programming for it is done in plain C and API appears straight forward from a glance | 
        
| 17:35 |  | xCA7BABE5 | sadly, I don't see any fan-gatherings for it today | 
        
| 17:35 |  | xCA7BABE5 | which is a drawback if you want a helping hand | 
        
| 17:36 |  | xCA7BABE5 | and people to make software for, other than yourself | 
        
| 17:36 |  | aditsu | well, it doesn't really help that it's a dead platform | 
        
| 17:36 |  | xCA7BABE5 | true | 
        
| 17:36 |  | xCA7BABE5 | there are fans, but they are dispersed | 
        
| 17:37 |  | xCA7BABE5 | same with J2ME | 
        
| 17:37 |  | xCA7BABE5 | N900/Maemo has one large site and one large IRC channel :P | 
        
| 17:38 |  | xCA7BABE5 | gravity points for people interested in the platform | 
        
| 17:41 |  | aditsu | there is webOS now | 
        
| 17:43 |  | xCA7BABE5 | unfamiliar with it | 
        
| 17:43 |  | xCA7BABE5 | oh yeah | 
        
| 17:43 |  | xCA7BABE5 | successor to Palm, of sorts | 
        
| 17:44 |  | xCA7BABE5 | probably no longer has any connection to Palm | 
        
| 17:45 |  | xCA7BABE5 | >linux based | 
        
| 17:45 |  | xCA7BABE5 | different beast from Palm | 
        
| 17:50 |  | mr_lou | Dead platforms are the best. | 
        
| 17:51 |  | aditsu | I recommend ZX Spectrum :D | 
        
| 17:54 |  | mr_lou | <-- Amstrad CPC guy | 
        
| 17:55 |  | mr_lou | The Amstrad CPC is still used a lot. New hardware keeps being made. Recently it became possible to go online with it. :-> | 
        
| 17:55 |  | mr_lou | I might join this channel from my Amstrad CPC some day. | 
        
| 17:55 |  | mr_lou | Dead platforms are awesome. You will never ever experience that something suddenly just doesn't work anymore. I LOVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 
        
| 17:56 |  | mr_lou | Web is the absolute WORST INVENTION EVER! | 
        
| 17:56 |  | xCA7BABE5 | it grows ever bloated | 
        
| 17:56 |  | mr_lou | Exactly. | 
        
| 17:57 |  | aditsu | does the Amstrad use RFC 1149 to go online? | 
        
| 17:57 |  | xCA7BABE5 | be sure to run IRC on the CPC so I can post ANSI butts on it | 
        
| 17:57 |  | xCA7BABE5 | http://cat.butt.care:3434/priv/nailed_it.PNG :P | 
        
| 17:58 |  | xCA7BABE5 | (not my creation) | 
        
| 17:59 |  | mr_lou | aditsu, I have no idea. I'm not a hardware guy. | 
        
| 17:59 |  | mr_lou | aditsu, Basically it's a Wifi card that someone invented. So you go online via your cellphone. | 
        
| 17:59 |  | xCA7BABE5 | the COCO-II here reiceved IRC input as sound | 
        
| 18:00 |  | mr_lou | Or wifi router. | 
        
| 18:00 |  | xCA7BABE5 | from middleman computer | 
        
| 18:00 |  | xCA7BABE5 | so that's cheating a bit | 
        
| 18:01 |  | aditsu | mr_lou: something tells me you didn't get it | 
        
| 18:02 |  | xCA7BABE5 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers close enough | 
        
| 18:02 |  | xCA7BABE5 | slightly slower than using tape input port :p | 
        
| 18:04 |  | aditsu | very high latency, but the bandwidth can be decent depending on the strength of the carrier and the printing technology :) | 
        
| 18:05 |  | xCA7BABE5 | >An example of packet loss. | 
        
| 18:05 |  | xCA7BABE5 | this is morbidly hilarious | 
        
| 18:23 |  | mr_lou | aditsu, Get what? Was it a joke? Then no, I didn't get it. :-) | 
        
| 18:23 |  | xCA7BABE5 | yes | 
        
| 18:23 |  | aditsu | well, read above | 
        
| 18:24 |  | mr_lou | I don't know what RFC 1149 is, if that's what you're referring to. | 
        
| 18:24 |  | xCA7BABE5 | it's a joke standard proposal | 
        
| 18:24 |  | xCA7BABE5 | for the above | 
        
| 18:25 |  | xCA7BABE5 | a 1st april gag | 
        
| 18:25 |  | aditsu | http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=RFC+1149 | 
        
| 18:25 |  | mr_lou | Well I never heard about that. | 
        
| 18:25 |  | xCA7BABE5 | now you did | 
        
| 18:25 |  | mr_lou | Keep in mind I have a very low IQ and I never keep myself updated on curernt news. | 
        
| 18:25 |  | mr_lou | *current | 
        
| 18:26 |  | mr_lou | I avoid Facebook, Twitter, and all other "new" trends. | 
        
| 18:26 |  | aditsu | 1990 is not very current | 
        
| 18:26 |  | aditsu | it has even been updated by newer RFC's | 
        
| 18:26 |  | mr_lou | mh | 
        
| 18:26 |  | mr_lou | Well then no body just told me about it before now. :-P | 
        
| 18:26 |  | aditsu | you're welcome :) | 
        
| 18:26 |  | xCA7BABE5 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYOCcd9MplQ | 
        
| 18:27 |  | xCA7BABE5 | Low Q | 
        
| 18:27 |  | xCA7BABE5 | Hi Q | 
        
| 18:27 |  | * xCA7BABE5 | hides | 
        
| 18:27 |  | aditsu | it's *I*Q.. | 
        
| 18:31 |  | aditsu | mr_lou: also, I don't believe you, you can't create something like the 8-bit memories project with a "very low IQ" | 
        
| 18:32 |  | mr_lou | You can't know till you've seen it. | 
        
| 18:32 |  | mr_lou | Also... I.Q. is defined very differently. | 
        
| 18:32 |  | mr_lou | By different people. | 
        
| 18:43 |  | mr_lou | Hm | 
        
| 18:43 |  | mr_lou | Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 CPU.....  is than an x86 CPU? | 
        
| 18:45 |  | aditsu | according to wikipedia, Snapdragon is ARM-based SoC | 
        
| 18:46 |  | mr_lou | Hm.. | 
        
| 18:46 |  | mr_lou | Looking at the VLC nightly builds for Android, I can only choose between ARM, x86 and MIPS.... | 
        
| 18:46 |  | mr_lou | So you're saying ARM. | 
        
| 18:47 |  | mr_lou | ARM7 or ARM8? | 
        
| 18:47 |  | aditsu | I don't know, find out :) | 
        
| 18:50 |  | xCA7BABE5 | then there's HardFP and SoftFP | 
        
| 18:50 |  | mr_lou | ARM8 it would seem. | 
        
| 18:51 |  | xCA7BABE5 | is hard vs soft a thing past ARM7? | 
        
| 18:51 |  | xCA7BABE5 | *still a thing | 
        
| 18:57 |  | * mr_lou | knows nothing | 
        
| 19:00 |  | xCA7BABE5 | hey aditsu, how would you feel if I used MANIFEST.MF as both the application's manifest and the project config for a rudimentary CLI tool? | 
        
| 19:00 |  | xCA7BABE5 | one thing that would probably be a nonstandard attribute in the manifest, in this case, would be the .jar's name | 
        
| 19:01 |  | aditsu | how would that work as a project config? | 
        
| 19:02 |  | xCA7BABE5 | well, the directories are predefined(src, dist, bin, lib) | 
        
| 19:02 |  | xCA7BABE5 | additional libs can be defined in manifest | 
        
| 19:02 |  | xCA7BABE5 | main class can be defined in manifest | 
        
| 19:02 |  | xCA7BABE5 | what else? | 
        
| 19:03 |  | xCA7BABE5 | the manifest sits in root of project folder and gets used in two ways | 
        
| 19:03 |  | xCA7BABE5 | 1. config file | 
        
| 19:03 |  | xCA7BABE5 | 2. copied to jar | 
        
| 19:04 |  | aditsu | I don't know, seems weird, but you can give it a try if you think it works for you | 
        
| 19:04 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I am still writing a text file that describes what the thing should do | 
        
| 19:04 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I won't know if it works until I put it all together | 
        
| 19:05 |  | xCA7BABE5 | much like my crosslanguage porting | 
        
| 19:05 |  | xCA7BABE5 | port in one breath, plug in and hope for the best | 
        
| 19:05 |  | aditsu | I think of manifest files as annoying but necessary metadata that I just auto-generate at build time | 
        
| 19:05 |  | xCA7BABE5 | well, this is python and CLI | 
        
| 19:06 |  | xCA7BABE5 | generate it myself | 
        
| 19:06 |  | aditsu | python? wat? | 
        
| 19:06 |  | xCA7BABE5 | without any Ants | 
        
| 19:06 |  | xCA7BABE5 | the CLI tool is to be made in Python | 
        
| 19:06 |  | aditsu | use python to build a java project? ok.. | 
        
| 19:08 |  | aditsu | I would just write a build script for ant | 
        
| 19:08 |  | aditsu | (and other people use stuff like maven or gradle) | 
        
| 19:09 |  | xCA7BABE5 | but this is bat country | 
        
| 19:09 |  | xCA7BABE5 | *butt | 
        
| 19:09 |  | xCA7BABE5 | http://cat.butt.care:3434/priv/description.txt | 
        
| 19:10 |  | aditsu | butt country? ok, write a bash script that calls make :p | 
        
| 19:10 |  | xCA7BABE5 | what's a makefile? | 
        
| 19:11 |  | xCA7BABE5 | what's ant? | 
        
| 19:11 |  | xCA7BABE5 | why do I not want to know either? | 
        
| 19:11 |  | xCA7BABE5 | why not make my own! | 
        
| 19:12 |  | mr_lou | ButtScript? | 
        
| 19:12 |  | aditsu | if you have too much time on your hands and don't want others to ever build your projects, go ahead :) | 
        
| 19:16 |  | xCA7BABE5 | yes, I hate you all and I am going to make the world a slightly more misserable place | 
        
| 19:17 |  | aditsu | aww, why would you hate us? | 
        
| 19:19 |  | xCA7BABE5 | I kid | 
        
| 19:34 |  | mr_lou | We know you love us. | 
        
| 19:40 |  |  | mr_lou joined ##friendlyjava | 
        
| 19:43 |  | xCA7BABE5 | manifest file has no relevance outside jar files, right? | 
        
| 19:43 |  | aditsu | I don't think so | 
        
| 19:45 |  | xCA7BABE5 | good |
