[04:19] <govatent> Hello
[04:19] <govatent> long time no see
[04:24] <MichelleQ> cookies!
[04:25] <crashsystems> hello florida
[04:31] <govatent> crashsystems, !!!

[06:35] <crashsystems> cookies!
[14:31] <dantalizing> morning
[14:38] <mianosm1> morning
[16:10] <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
[16:15] <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
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <maxolasersquad> Then mark my name down in the history books. ;)
[16:25] <maxolasersquad> tiemonster: Any chance I could convince you to add OSM support?
[16:27] <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/>
[16:30] <tiemonster> maxolasersquad: I don't imagine the API is anywhere as robust as Google Maps
[16:33] <maxolasersquad> It is not, but I think most of the shortfalls deal with doing things like heat maps, and things of that sort.
[16:34] <maxolasersquad> If you want to overlay GPS markers or tracks, then it does all that well.
[16:36] <maxolasersquad> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6
[16:37] <maxolasersquad> OSM is free as in freedom, which is why I suggest it.
[16:42] <tiemonster> I'll consider it for the final project
[16:43] <tiemonster> maxolasersquad: that's the server-side API for manipulating data
[17:45] <maxolasersquad> tiemonster: The accuracy was not very good.
[17:45] <maxolasersquad> Probably within 100-feet.
[17:46] <maxolasersquad> Instead of showing my path, it showed markers at each location that it poled for my lat/long.
[17:49] <tiemonster> well yeah - that's what I meant
[17:49] <tiemonster> maxolasersquad: it was really that far off, though?
[17:50] <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?
[17:51] <maxolasersquad> Yes.
[17:51] <maxolasersquad> However, my location on the OSMAnd application was spot-on.
[17:52] <tiemonster> native app?
[17:53] <maxolasersquad> http://runkeeper.com/user/maxolasersquad/activity/23221574
[17:53] <maxolasersquad> Yes
[17:54] <tiemonster> ok. I think there is a way to tweak the accuracy. let me see what I can do.
[17:55] <maxolasersquad> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/XAPI is the OSM API for mapping.
[17:56] <maxolasersquad> I'll be happy to test out whatever changes you have during my daily walks.
[17:56] <tiemonster> cool. thanks!
[17:59] <tiemonster> I see... it defaults to triangulation to save battery life.
[18:03] <tiemonster> maxolasersquad: ok. I've updated the demo. I now explicitly request GPS over triangulation.
[19:21] <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.
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <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
[19:24] <maxolasersquad> Oooohhh!
[19:24] <tiemonster> but I assure you, it will be EPIC
[20:38] <maxolasersquad> Anyone know if MariaDb is expected to be packaged in Natty?
[21:26] <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.
[21:27] <tiemonster> Mysql/MariaDB should have API compatibility
[21:27] <mhall119> should
[21:33] <maxolasersquad> Looks like it is already packaged for Natty.
[21:40] <tiemonster> night all
[21:40] <tiemonster> maxolasersquad: thanks for your help!
[21:59] <govatent> hi
[22:36] <maxolasersquad> Turns out there is a package in Natty named maria, but it is not mariadb. :(
