Actually, removing the escape that closes the console seems to me to be a 
better idea as it is not only the completion help that causes this problem. 
Sometimes I end up keyboarding something that opens a menu item, then Esc kills 
the console and 
but whatever  ... jai yen

I will tell you why; so shall my anticipation
prevent your discovery, and your secrecy to the king
and queen moult no feather. 

I have of late—but wherefore I know not—
lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; 
and indeed it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame, 

the earth, seems to me a sterile
promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, 
this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted
with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to
me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason!

How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how
express and admirable! In action how like an angel!
In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the
world! The paragon of animals! 

And yet, to me,
what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not
me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling
you seem to say so.


mmmneh, one grunter did alright, methinks.

[Gambas-user] DBus and Geoclue2

[Moviga Technologies]

I am unexperienced with DBus, and I wondered if someone could point out 
to me how to get Longitude and Latitude from geoclue2 with DBus?

According to this page: 
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/geoclue/docs/gdbus-org.freedesktop.GeoClue2.Location.html#gdbus-property-org-freedesktop-GeoClue2-Location.Latitude
the address is org.freedesktop.GeoClue2.Location

More or less at random I tried:

Print DBus["org.freedesktop.GeoClue2.Location"].Latitude
Print DBus["org.freedesktop.GeoClue2.Location"]["Latitude"]

It did not work, and I do not know what I am doing, or what is the 
correct method here :)

Re: [Gambas-user] Using property on a string array

[Moviga Technologies]

Thank you! This works! What I do not understand is if .List is returning 
a copy, then even cbxProfile.List = [] should not really work?? Because 
you are still assigning the copy of the list, and not the list itself...

[Gambas-user] Bluethooth Smart (otherwise known as BLE 4.1) control anyone?

[joem]

Bluethooth Smart (otherwise known as BLE 4.1) control anyone?

Just noticed this might be big soon.

The idea is that IoT devices connected by bluetooth and powered by a
coin cell for up to a year are just about to dematerialise.

It would be nice to have a drop in control that transmits
and receives data to these devices.

The Dialog Semiconductor devices are microscopic 5.5mm x 8mm
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/25pcs-lot-DA14580-ultra-low-power-Bluetooth-4-1-module-free-shipping/32274688614.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.95.BF6sdb=p_ab_test=201526_2,201527_2_71_72_73_74_75,201409_5

The bluethooth stack for Linux http://www.bluez.org/
does support BLE4.1 if
HCI Version: (0x7) is showing when hciconfig -a
command is run under Ubuntu.

They are also supposed to have good range.
So in theory one of these modems in every gadget powered by a coin
cell could be updating your PC with information such as temperature,
doors opening and closing and so on. As its so tiny, it can be made into
a wearable and turned into proximity sensor so that its possible to know
where you are in a building and computer can contact you :)
