[03:09] <pascalo> hello
[03:09] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, happy new year
[03:09] <pascalo> thanks
[03:09] <pascalo> new year, new learnings
[03:09] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, good to hear!
[03:10] <AkivaAvraham> What are you working on today?
[03:10] <pascalo> I am trying to learn about the HTML5 apps for Ubuntu ...
[03:10] <pascalo> and whether it is possbile to launch sub processes somehow, maybe the manifest?
[03:10] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, not much experience with html5 myself. I do mostly qml and qt stuff.
[03:11] <pascalo> fair enough
[03:11] <pascalo> they use the manifest structure as well, yes?
[03:11] <AkivaAvraham> :(
[03:12] <AkivaAvraham> to be honest; not entirely sure what a manifest structure is. I am embarrassed for my level of ignorance.
[03:12] <pascalo> I had a dig around, and there's the desktop entry in the manifest/hooks section
[03:12] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, care to fill me in?
[03:12] <pascalo> no worries ... I might be oddball here :)
[03:13] <pascalo> well, I just made an SDK project ... and it auto-created a manifest.json file
[03:13] <AkivaAvraham> yah I see these things around in my project files
[03:13] <AkivaAvraham> never touch them
[03:14] <AkivaAvraham> do not know what they are for.
[03:14] <pascalo> :)
[03:16] <pascalo> my thinking was that as part of launching my app I could spawn a node.js thingy that does UDP discovery
[03:17] <AkivaAvraham> Probably can.
[03:17] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, do me a favour?
[03:17] <pascalo> and I can see that the desktop hook entry links to a file that invokes stuff
[03:17] <pascalo> yep?
[03:18] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, if you havn't already, could you subscribe here: http://www.reddit.com/r/ubuntuappdev to the subreddit, and post a screenshot of the app you are developing? This helps foster a greater developer community
[03:19] <pascalo> AkivaAvraham, I am embarrassed to say I have never used reddit
[03:20] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, heh; its a great way to waste time sometimes. r/pettyrevenge eats up a good 5 minutes each day
[03:24] <pascalo> sounds like I need to avoid that one
[03:24] <pascalo> goal for 2015: Create some stuff
[03:25] <pascalo> has been a while that I have been productive coding wise
[03:25] <AkivaAvraham> pascalo, I know what you mean.
[03:26] <pascalo> But I just had my Macbook Pro turn into an expensive paperweight, so I fully switched to Ubuntu on an excellent XPS13, and there's stuff I need that doesn't exist, so I better make it happen somehow
[03:27] <pascalo> FWhich brings me to my plan for an app: a Sonos controller
[03:27] <pascalo> since Sonos doesn't support Linux natively
[03:30] <AkivaAvraham> never heard of sonos
[03:31] <pascalo> It's a wireless music system, that has controller apps which work with UPNP
[03:31] <pascalo> there's some UDP sockets as well
[03:32] <pascalo> There are a few libraries out there that manage to work with it, via CLI for example ...
[03:33] <pascalo> so I thought I'd wrap that in an html5 interface
[03:33] <pascalo> but I don't quite know how yet
[03:33] <pascalo> ;)
[03:50] <AkivaAvraham> Hmmm interesting
