I feel ya buddy. I'm born and raised in Vancouver and have had some of
your problems on top of others. I'm fairly geeky, and have the same
interests as you do (like everything from xkcd to the scene stuff-
except maybe the computer music though electronic music one of my
favourite genres. we'de make good buddies). I haven't had the best of
luck with women, I'm fairly picky as it seems you are too. It's not easy
finding women who share our interests, but there are things that have
definitely helped in my life that I'm sure will be beneficial to you. 

First off, there is some general reading. A book called The Game by Neil
Straus is an excellent starting point. Start digging into the pickup
artist communities works- Mystery Method, David Deangelo, Zan (Vancouver
guy too). These guys were all terrible with women at some point in their
lives (or so they claim, most seem genuine though others are dubious)
and they share what turned them around. There are many other names and
good works, I'll be happy to give you more details if you want it. Do
not take everything they say seriously, but they have lots of tips and
analysis that can greatly aide you in social interaction. Read these
books with an open mind, but I can tell you that they make sweeping
generalizations about women that are not necessarily true for all of
them. Mystery method will explain in great deal how to hold a
conversation with a random person, it won't do everything but it
essentially teaches how to converse. Give it a read, take what parts of
his style you like, leave the parts you do not want to use but at least
give it a shot.

The times women have fallen for me, I have been confident, energetic and
chatty. Never in my life has a women been attracted to me when I was
tired (or just quite), un-assured, and dull. The other thing that killed
my relationships earlier on was neediness. Being needy can kill any
attraction *so* fast. This may not be a reflection on women, but rather
the type of woman that I attract. It can be difficult to gain confidence
and be energetic when you've spent most of your life being the exact
opposite, but these are traits that come through self improvement. I
would highly recommend Toastmasters for public speaking. This is an
indirect way to shoot up your confidence- and you'll come out a great
public speaker.

Believe it or not, there are geek hangouts in Vancouver. Start
volunteering and hanging out at Free Geek. They do ethical computer
recycling (Commercial and Hastings area, freegeekvancouver.org for lots
of info). There are like 1500 people in their volunteer database, and
lots of girl geeks who volunteer (lots on a relative scale, obviously
there are more males there at any given time). I've seen some attractive
women at Van HackSpace, though I haven't been to too many events,
http://vancouver.hackspace.ca/doku.php I've heard The Hackery is pretty
fun too, how many women show up i'm not too sure, but I've heard girl
geeks chill there. I don't know if you've done any post-secondary
studies, but UBC and SFU are hotbeds for girl geeks. If you want to do
the club thing, go to pit night at UBC's Pit Pub and start talking to
random girls, girl geeks come in all shapes and sizes- some of them club
too! Otherwise check out the more geek oriented events like the Computer
Club. Since you like biking, start hanging out with the bike community.
I'm not really a part of it, but I know on good authority girl geeks are
part of it. Critical Mass takes place, I think the first Friday of the
month, lots of geeky girls there. There's quite a few events that I
can't think of off the top of my head, send me an e-mail and I'll keep
you posted on what's going on in Vancouver. 

Know what you want in a partner. From reading your post it seems you
want a long term relationship, but be aware of what you are actually
looking for. If you just want to fuck, stop caring about interests and
start hitting clubs, raves, random venues. Sexual attraction and having
things in common are not mutually exclusive. You like computer music and
there is a pretty decent electronic scene in Vancouver, you just have to
know where to look. Yes, there are women who will have sex with you,
even casual sex, despite any problems you think you might have. Know
that drugs are usually a part of this scene and if you're not
comfortable with that, it's going to seriously limit your fun. This is
not for everybody and maybe you'll venture there in time.

The last thing I can think of right now, and it is key, you *have* to
talk to women. The only way you're going to find a girl with similar
interests, besides blind luck or a friend who happens to know a women
exactly like you, is by talking to lots of random girls. By random, i
don't mean at the club

Morning,

for the ldap thing, you need to manually remove openldap (this package was 
installed manually; not needed anymore as libldap is coming with SHR now):
 opkg remove openldap

Though, this will not help you with the GSM problem ... (no idea from me aabout

WM hints is *the* standard way for app to request it's size constraints.
So if app sets hints, while not wanting to get these size constraints, it 
is a bug in app.

Re: OT: Where can I meet a female companion with similar interests and personality /in person/?

2009-09-16 Thread Ben Wong
Hello Brolin,

I showed your post to a few geek girls and asked them what advice they
would give.  I'm CC'ing the list with their (edited) responses because
I have a hunch that there are more "Brolins" out there.

Ben

___

Overall, my advice isn't profound - but simple.  I would recommend he
think about what things he likes that he can share with others.
Surely there is some activity/event/gathering that he feels
comfortable in - and surely there must be girls there.  I am always
amazed at the meetups that exist for all kinds of unusual interests.
Generally, I feel (and have seen others) find it easiest to meet new
people and open up when there is common ground.

Amy

__

I don't think I have any advice that is worth passing along to Brolin.
He has Asperger's and will struggle with social interactions.  It's
not hopeless for him, but he needs to find a way to meet other women
who have similar struggles as him.  He needs to find someone who
understands and admires his attention to details, for example.

I think he probably already knows this, so I wouldn't have any new or
different advice for him, unfortunately.  I hope he is in therapy for
his Asperger's and can learn to live on his own!!  (That's step one.
Girls and dating come after that.)

I have a lot of sympathy for those on the autism spectrum because of
my niece.  Social interactions are so hard for them!

Mary Beth

__

[Commentary by Ben: I agree with MB that Brolin needs to find someone
who admires the traits he has, but I don't think that it will
necessarily be someone with similar struggles.  It could be someone
complementary, someone who will balance him.  I know a few geek guys
who have found that their soul mate is a spiritual, intuitive,
earth-mother-type, well grounded in her body and emotions.]

__

Wow. Two thoughts come to mind:

1) It sounds like he has no in-person friends. I think that you
need to get the hang of friendship before you can have a romantic
relationship. Also, once you have friends, some of them know
geekgirls, and you can meet them that way. He might have good luck
with local gaming groups or conventions (Comicon, Defcon, PAX,
JavaOne...).

2) I'm not sure how well his Asperger's is being treated. That's
going to be a prerequisite for a relationship, like hygiene. If
he's always feeling overwhelmed and unable to make choices, there
might be a medication that could help.

Good luck to him. I realize it must have been very difficult for
him to ask for help, and I hope he continues to try.

Jina

__

After reading Jina's email, it occurred to me that you probably could
craft a nice email to him with some friendly advice.  He definitely
needs to be in treatment for his Asperger's.  After a brief search on
the internet, I found www.grasp.org which is geared towards adults on
the autism spectrum.  This site could help him find therapists or
others who can help him.

By sending his long email, Brolin has indicated that he needs help and
that his life is not what he wants it to be.  Getting treatment can
help him live on his own and feel better about himself.  And, getting
better connected with support groups and adult autism networks, he
might be able to meet a girl whom he could date.  But, it's one step
at a time for him.  Treatment and support groups first, girls second.
:)

Mary Beth

Hi Brolin,

My friend Ben forwarded my your post, and I have many thoughts about
it. Some are in direct response to questions you pose, and some are
responses to what I perceive as the underlying context. If my
perceptions are wrong, I apologize. Hopefully some of what I say will
be useful to you.

As a woman with a background in philosophy and computer science, I can
definitely say that there are women who relate to your interests and
personality. I am older than you, but there are women your age who
love xkcd, and share your other interests as well. Are there as many
women as there are men who overlap closely with your description?
Unlikely, but that's not a problem. A good relationship is one where
each person "gets" the other enough to appreciate them and relate to
them, but where they can also learn from their partner's different
interests and ways of thinking.

So how do you meet women with whom you may be compatible? Well, it's a
question of luck, but only in the sense that you make your own
luck. On any given occasion when you try to meet someone, it may well
not pan out, but the point is to increase the frequency of such
encounters. Joining local groups which interest you, and attending
local events is a good way to start. Online dating sites may be worth
exploring as well, especially if you feel more comfortable expressing
yourself via the keyboard

it's not an issue if your wm is like e+illume or matchbox and maximises apps
regardless of min/max size.if its a desktop wm rotate is irrelevant here as the
wm wont go resizing the window on rotate anyway, even if it is rotatable. (or
is very unlikely to do this - move the window maybe, resize - unlikely).

you need to differentiate between a wm setting up a sane windowing policy for
such screen sizes and uses and a "desktop" wm and is policies.

i agree the apps should not be relying on the wms ignoring their hints to work
right - they should have their content packed in such a way that they are
resizable. that is the correct solution. then a nice friendly resize of the
window object to a nice size is good too (remember to get the min/max hints
first and respect them in your resize as he resize is not going to respect them)

not all standards compliant wm's. e+illume will be fine. matchbox probably too.
the "standards" allow the wm to happily ignore min/max window size hints if the
wm wants to. :)

no. just pack things so some window resize object is resizable. actually so all
of them are (weight 1.0 1.0). otherwise non-resizable "resize objects" for the
window will constrain its size to min size of these elements.

Re: Fwd: buzzfix in India

2009-09-16 Thread Vikas Saurabh
A lot of thanks to IDA Systems (Rakshat and Zoheb) as Vibhav and I
finally get the buzz fix done. And alongwith that our phones got
blessed with the 1024 fix as well :D.

Sorry for no pics of the naked moko being fixed.

Regarding the fixes:
Buzz fix: I (recepients of my calls) haven't been observing lots of
buzz fix anyways (maybe due to my provider's freq range); so I don't
know how much has the fix saved the day. One thing is for sure that
the call quality hasn't degraded.
1024 fix: I am on SHR-U so avoiding deep sleep was just 1 line of
config. Anyways, after the fix I have removed that line and haven't
yet missed even a single call. So, I assume that the modem is indeed
going to deep sleep without losing registration (Is there a better way
to test it???). I haven't been able to check increase in battery life
(today my phone would get zero juicelets see how long can it
sustain)

There is a small side effect...though I am unsure if it due to the h/w
mods (but that I observe the issue just after the phone is fixed seems
like to big a coincidence).
If I let the phone go to auto-suspend (after being idle), and then
bring it back to life by pressing power button then it goes back to
sleep immediately after waking up. The second power button press
resumes it normally.
I don't observe this if I manually make it go to suspend or if it
comes out of suspend due to call.

Unfortunately, I am not very well versed on this.  I just noticed that
frameworkd writes it out to the log file when it is finished loading.
Surely it is also sent out in a signal as well though?  Does anyone better

Part of the xdg-utils suite by freedesktop.org is the tool
xdg-screensaver. It provides a unified interface to control, especially
prevent, screen blanking. It comes with support for KDE, Gnome and Xfce.
It should be relatively simple to add support for FSO as well, and I
always had that in mind as a proper, FSO independent solution for
mokomaze. I just did not yet come around to do it. If someone else wants
to give it a shot, that would be great.

We would want to interpolate anyway, but the error bound is set by the 
rounding error introduced by using integer seconds. Even at relatively low 
vehicle speeds this may be greater than the error in the reported GPS 
position. 100km/h is just under 30m/s.

Ideally I would like to see ogpsd extended to provide more accurate timestamps 
and more control over the gps.

[SHR-U] mplayer audio perfomance

2009-09-16 Thread Denis Shulyaka
Hi!

I discovered that oss output of mplayer is about two times faster than
alsa (which is default in SHR-U). Adding ao=oss to mplayer config file
speed it up from 35% CPU to about 15%. This may require to modprobe
snd-pcm-oss.

I don't remember who/where recommended it to me (was on a web page, 
probably a blog or similar), but shortly after getting my FR I bought 
one each of these screen protectors: [1] [2]

My main concern was protecting the screen from scratches, but it's not 
like reducing glare was a bad thing either. I figured I'd try them both 
out and see which I liked best, since they were fairly cheap, and the 
page said it would be a personal preference (both being good).

At the moment I'm not 100% sure which one I ended up using, but I 
*think* it's [1] - and I can't recall having any major problems using 
the screen outdoors afterwards (as long as the angle isn't precisely 
wrong, in which case you'd just tilt the FR slightly or move your head).

YMMV, I'm up north, and haven't used it all that much while outdoors...

Applying it to the FR's screen required taking the front cover off, as 
the protector is slightly larger than the visible screen area (but not 
really any larger than the screen itself IIRC). This wasn't difficult, 
and hasn't caused me any problems (as far as I'm aware, of course).

Possibly. I've heard such a delay when calling a friend's phone to find out 
where he left it, and that was a Nokia or S-E. You may be able to enable 
logging of the messages from the GSM module, and keep an eye on them as the 
call is received. That way you can see how much delay there is between call 
notification being received and the ringing starting. It could be related to 
system load and/or memory usage too of course.

BTW, phonelog seems quite buggy as to received/dialed/missed call registration.

Since sometimes some of these show up with a day or so of delay, could it be
an opimd bug or a phonelog bug?

I can't even see the screen in direct sunlight, I just see a reflection of the

There is an eclipse plugin that easier the setup...

and usb support is not so great with the previous kernel I tested(not
the lastest one...the one just before...I'll upgrade) but you have usb2
on the von hippel
Basically some things work such as my wifi card(I've an old version of

CellHunter nearness questions

2009-09-16 Thread EdorFaus
Hi,

I've been doing some cellhunting, and have some questions about the 
"near" (OCoGn) locations that I haven't been able to find answers to.

I'm asking here instead of in private because I figure others might be 
interested as well.


First, how near is near?
Or stated differently, how far apart do locations have to be, to not be 
so near each other that they don't give my group any points?

(Giving this in relative GPS coords would be fine (I'm assuming that's 
what the check is based on) - as that's what I'm looking at (CH logs).)


Second, are previous "near" locations counted when determining if a 
given location is too close to existing ones?

As an example of what I mean, say I'm in an area with no preexisting 
data, and only one GSM cell. If (for argument's sake) locations have to 
be 15 meters apart to not be too near, and I move in a straight line, 
registering a location every 10 meters, will I score any points at all 
(other than for the first location, which would be NCG)?


Third, is the OCoGn data valuable at all? Is it useful for anything?

If not, it might as well be pruned before it is submitted...
(Unless we want the OCoGn count to go up I guess.)


Especially the second question is interesting, as it has an impact on 
what data should be submitted to maximize the score (if the example 
would only give me points for the NCG, I could have gotten more points 
by not submitting all the data gathered, or with a different order).

Re: [shr-u] wakeuptime, was Re: 2.6.31 is out,where is my ultimatekernel?

2009-09-16 Thread Steven **
I'm using SHR-Unstable (updated/upgraded this morning).
I hear 3 rings on the sending line before the Neo rings if it is
suspended.  Even when it's awake, the Neo doesn't ring/vibrate until
shortly after the second ring on the sending line.
This is all with the debugfs tweak (which I don't think sped anything
up for me).

Perhaps this delay is caused by my network though?

Warren,

Thanks for the advice. I'm a big time user of scripts and I hate GUI's. 
However, the use of Mokonnect is a last gasp effort to get the Neo to connect 
to my AP (Access Point). I would prefer to use the normal linux init scripts 
but I've been finding some bizarre behaviour with them.

Since a train has a large mass and a reasonable speed, why not use the
whole second readings of speed and heading and use
interpolation/extrapolation to determine the actual time and location?
It should be rather accurate i guess.

u-boot isn't only for FR what GRUB is for PC. It does also what BIOS
does on regular desktops. Qi, in contrast, lets Linux kernel doing
such things.

Re: For all ya BFS (brain fuck scheduler) lovers out there

2009-09-16 Thread Warren Baird
I decided to try a semi-formal experiment...   I haven't had time to do
multiple repetitions but I figured I'd share anyways.   I'm running shr-u
updated about a week ago.   My process was that I rebooted my FR, ran
through a set of steps, at each point timing how long it took from starting
the action (clicking on the icon, eg) to when the screen was finished
redrawing.

I ran through two processes I do regularly - start GPS, start up claws mail,
and open my inbox, and then the second was to open the messages program.  I
then rebooted and did the entire process again, with the only difference
being that I started up the terminal, added 'NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS' to the
scheduler, closed the terminal, and repeated the process.   At the end of
each process I used the illume 'next window' arrow to flip through all the
open windows twice - 5 separate windows - waiting for a full redraw before
proceeding,

starting claws-mail was noticable faster - 18s vs. 23s (about 20% faster),
and opening the inbox was also faster 14s vs 18s.   Unfortunately the SHR
settings panel and SHR messages were about the same.Swapping windows was
also a lot quicker - 15s vs. 10s.

It'd be good if we had more info - but based on this, it definitely looks
like a win to leave enabled.

Re: SHR-U: Mokonnect...

2009-09-16 Thread Warren Baird
I must admit that even though I generally prefer gui tools for this kind of
thing - life got a lot easier once I bit the bullet and just created a
wpa_supplicant config file with all the networks I usually connect to in it.

I created a 'connect_wifi' script that basically does fsoraw -r WiFi --
wpa_supplicant - etho0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

when I want to use wifi I just start terminal - do "connect_wifi &", and
then once it connects I do a udhcpc, and I'm done.

After suspending I wait for wpa_supplicant to reconnect, and then have to
manually do a udhcpc again.

It's far from ideal - but it's given me much more reliable wifi connectivity
than when I was trying to mofi or mokonnect.

Good luck.

Warren

SHR-U: Mokonnect...

2009-09-16 Thread John Dowd
I've run into a problem using Mokonnect. I configured it once and now I can't 
delete that configuration. I scanned for an AP, selected the one I wanted, 
entered in the connection information for it. I inadvertently did not add a 
password and now it will not let me change that setting. the password field is 
unselectable and I can never connect to that AP.

Also, the scan goes on forever now.

the easiest way to fix the AP information stuff would be to blow away the file 
that has the information in it so that the next time I run the app it looks 
like the first time but I can't find the file. Anyone know where it is? I 
already tried to remove Mokonnect and then re-installing it but the 
information persisted.

I bought a generic phone holder for cars. They are adjustable to fit 
many phones, so you can find one that fits the FR.
It wasn't that hard to attach the holder to the bike. It was meant to be 
glued to the car window, I glued it to the gearshifter cover on the 
bike. And secured it with cable ties, in case the glue doesn't hold.

If you can't find a battery, get a generic "USB power supply". The FR is 
  fortunately not the only phone that is charged via USB. So there are 
many generic USB chargers around. I would not be surprised if you can 
find one that contains plain AA batteries. Such devices certainly exists 
for nokia and ericsson phones.

You can save power by letting the display turn off - just tap it when 
you actually need to see the map. Lower backlight intensity at night 
also saves power.

The sun is tricky - polarized sunglasses may remove reflected light 
though. The same problem exists in boats, have a look at sun covers for 
boat instruments. Might need some work though.

If you want to do that only for Freerunners, max(640,640) :)

Or you could query and place a max for the biggest on the dimensions.

That means that all SHR apps will get non-resizable 198x350 windows under 
any stardards-compliant window manager.

This is definitly a bug that should be fixed.

Qi doesn't read my /boot/append-GTA02

I'd like some help here, please.
dmesg doesn't give me any clues.
I removed the "quiet splash" from /boot/append-GTA02 and added  
"glamo_mci.sd_drive=5", but none of it is sticking. It's ignoring the

it's simply that by default the window will be its minimum size given its
content unless sized to something else. illume with e will always maximize
windows (and dialogs get maximized horizontally but minimum size vertically,
centered over window). this is just the wm's policy. icewm, etc. etc. are not
implementing any "touchscreen small screen" policy. they implement a desktop
policy. you should expect this if you stick them on a smallscreen ts device
with no changes to their management policy.

It was I. Attention, I'm not sure if /sys/kernel/debug/ is the proper place.

Intuitively I'd say yes, but until I know for sure, I'm placing it at some
place where it won't cause a conflict (like /debug )

debugfs is a virtual filesystem that gives access to some otherwise
unavailable system bits and pieces.  Because its "virtual", its going to
dissappear when the FR is rebooted, and "may" even be reset when you
unmount debugfs (have not tested this yet).  debugfs is also a
developers tool, not a normal user tool - google will help you
understand whats happening.

i'd say yes.
since debugfs is in memory it will be lost when shutting down.
as pointed out already (by paul iirc), you need to insert the mount into  
fstab (and remember, there's a sensible mountpoint already below /sys/  
somewhere, check this thread) and do the echoing in a strupt script  
(rc.local springs to mind, since it is there for exactly this kind of

Yes.

I added the following to /etc/fstab:

debug   /debug  debugfs auto

Then I added a script to activate it as soon as possible:

r...@om-gta02 ~ $ cat /etc/rc5.d/S02debugfs

if [ -f /debug/sched_features ] ; then
echo NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS > /debug/sched_features

Phonelog: missed call "NULL" name and number

2009-09-16 Thread Niels Heyvaert

Yesterday evening my FR woke up from suspend without doing anything else (no 
notification message, incoming call or SMS). I just watched the screen to see 
what was happening. After some idle time the it went back to suspend.
 
This morning I noticed an entry in the phone log for missed calls with the same 
time and date from this wakeup event. The name and number are showing "NULL".
 
Two questions:
 
- Why is the number/name equal to "NULL"? 
- Why didn't the phone do anything (ringing/vibrating, missed call 
notification) when apparently somebody tried to call?
 
Thanks,
 
Niels.

MokSec - Status Report: backtracker, pentesting tools

2009-09-16 Thread Alex Oberhauser
Hi guys,

hopefully you know about our security project MokSec [1]. In the last days I
have worked a little bit on it and I will try to continue my work also during
the university term.

== Backtracker [2] ==

Our main project at the moment. It will be a tracking system of our lovely
device, also known as anti theft application.

- Implementing the information gathering part:
- GSM serving and neighbour cells.
- SIM phone book and dialed numbers.
- IMEI/IMSI GSM model/revision.
- Improving the backend
- Storing the informations in a sqlite3 database.
- Compressing the database.
- Logging to a file
- Easy to use
- Written all in python, no cross compiling needed
- Using a configuration to save information which could be changed

- Writing a web interface to display the received information
- OpenStreetMap included
- Easy change of the style of the website to CSS.
- Written all in HTML/python/CSS

The next step will be to integrate the save part into the main program (at the
moment the save part starts on his own). After the program works well on the
device I will work on the kernel part to hide the application from the
userspace.

== SecApp - Pentesting Applications ==

Actually not the main work, but I need pentesting application on my
Freerunner, so I have decided to cross compile all the stuff which I need and
make a opkg/ipkg package. This packages will be stored on [3].


That's at the moment the main parts on which I work at the moment. If somebody
wants to help a little bit out I'm very happy.

Regards

Alex

I can try, but don't understand edc/edj stuff, so would be better if

There are 2 issues I have to bother you about... :/

1) I haven't found which license is used for all your neo-theme stuff
and I have to put something in required bbfile metadata.

2) As you said before I tried to decompile all edj files before pushing 
it to shr-theme.git repository, but .edc file decompiled from
elementary-theme-neo_0.2_armv4t.ipk is invalid (ends in the middle of
curled braces) and raster said, that's probably because of packaging
wrong .edc file to .edj. So I used .edc file from version 0.1 and merged
diff from that part of neo-0.2.edc which I could get from newer .edj. 
Would be great if you update .edc file with your source file later when 
you have time.
