| tiemonster | who in here has a smart phone and wants to go for a walk? I need to see how accurate this is: http://bit.ly/HTML5breadcrumbs | 16:10 |
| maxolasersquad | tiemonster: I may be up for it. | 16:15 |
| maxolasersquad | I walk during my lunch break. | 16:15 |
| maxolasersquad | Which is coming up. | 16:15 |
| tiemonster | cool | 16:15 |
| maxolasersquad | It's single feature is showing current location, correct? | 16:21 |
| tiemonster | no - breadcrumbs | 16:21 |
| tiemonster | if you take a walk, it should show your path | 16:21 |
| maxolasersquad | I see. | 16:21 |
| maxolasersquad | I'll let you know. | 16:21 |
| tiemonster | it's testing in preparation for the most epic web application ever | 16:21 |
| maxolasersquad | Then mark my name down in the history books. ;) | 16:22 |
| maxolasersquad | tiemonster: Any chance I could convince you to add OSM support? | 16:25 |
| tiemonster | !google OSM | 16:27 |
| ubuntu-fl | tiemonster: OpenStreetMap: <http://www.openstreetmap.org/>; OSM Home Page: <http://www.osmre.gov/>; Open Source Matters: <http://www.opensourcematters.org/> | 16:27 |
| tiemonster | maxolasersquad: I don't imagine the API is anywhere as robust as Google Maps | 16:30 |
| maxolasersquad | It is not, but I think most of the shortfalls deal with doing things like heat maps, and things of that sort. | 16:33 |
| maxolasersquad | If you want to overlay GPS markers or tracks, then it does all that well. | 16:34 |
| maxolasersquad | http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6 | 16:36 |
| maxolasersquad | OSM is free as in freedom, which is why I suggest it. | 16:37 |
| tiemonster | I'll consider it for the final project | 16:42 |
| tiemonster | maxolasersquad: that's the server-side API for manipulating data | 16:43 |
| maxolasersquad | tiemonster: The accuracy was not very good. | 17:45 |
| maxolasersquad | Probably within 100-feet. | 17:45 |
| maxolasersquad | Instead of showing my path, it showed markers at each location that it poled for my lat/long. | 17:46 |
| tiemonster | well yeah - that's what I meant | 17:49 |
| tiemonster | maxolasersquad: it was really that far off, though? | 17:49 |
| maxolasersquad | Yes. Usually, it was more like fifty feet, but sometimes it would be much further. | 17:50 |
| tiemonster | that sucks | 17:50 |
| tiemonster | Android? | 17:50 |
| maxolasersquad | Yes. | 17:51 |
| maxolasersquad | However, my location on the OSMAnd application was spot-on. | 17:51 |
| tiemonster | native app? | 17:52 |
| maxolasersquad | http://runkeeper.com/user/maxolasersquad/activity/23221574 | 17:53 |
| maxolasersquad | Yes | 17:53 |
| tiemonster | ok. I think there is a way to tweak the accuracy. let me see what I can do. | 17:54 |
| maxolasersquad | http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/XAPI is the OSM API for mapping. | 17:55 |
| maxolasersquad | I'll be happy to test out whatever changes you have during my daily walks. | 17:56 |
| tiemonster | cool. thanks! | 17:56 |
| tiemonster | I see... it defaults to triangulation to save battery life. | 17:59 |
| tiemonster | maxolasersquad: ok. I've updated the demo. I now explicitly request GPS over triangulation. | 18:03 |
| maxolasersquad | tiemonster: I'm in a building right now, but the accuracy is much better now. Before, when inside, it showed me as being a half-mile away. | 19:21 |
| tiemonster | right. it uses the most accurate method it can to locate you. | 19:22 |
| tiemonster | if you're in a building, it will use the IP of your wifi | 19:22 |
| tiemonster | I'm getting some very positive results, though | 19:23 |
| tiemonster | even from people who don't have Android or iPhones | 19:23 |
| maxolasersquad | Excellent. | 19:23 |
| tiemonster | I had one guy test using a Nokia tablet | 19:23 |
| tiemonster | he said the accuracy was better than his car GPS | 19:23 |
| maxolasersquad | What is the finished product supposed to deliver? | 19:23 |
| tiemonster | ;-) | 19:23 |
| tiemonster | TOP SECRET | 19:23 |
| maxolasersquad | Oooohhh! | 19:24 |
| tiemonster | but I assure you, it will be EPIC | 19:24 |
| maxolasersquad | Anyone know if MariaDb is expected to be packaged in Natty? | 20:38 |
| tiemonster | maxolasersquad: I think they're shooting for it, but not as part of the LAMP stack | 21:26 |
| maxolasersquad | I'm working on an application that I would like to support Maria by default. | 21:26 |
| tiemonster | you could ask in #ubuntu-server | 21:26 |
| maxolasersquad | But I don't want to do that if Maria is not in the repos. | 21:26 |
| maxolasersquad | I shall do that, thanks. | 21:26 |
| tiemonster | Mysql/MariaDB should have API compatibility | 21:27 |
| mhall119 | should | 21:27 |
| maxolasersquad | Looks like it is already packaged for Natty. | 21:33 |
| tiemonster | night all | 21:40 |
| tiemonster | maxolasersquad: thanks for your help! | 21:40 |
| govatent | hi | 21:59 |
| maxolasersquad | Turns out there is a package in Natty named maria, but it is not mariadb. :( | 22:36 |
