schestowitzabeNd-org: I don't hate them so muchJun 13 19:31
schestowitzI think I hate people who promote them moreJun 13 19:32
schestowitzHonestly, I do...Jun 13 19:32
abeNd-orgoh, i am more annoyed by the fact i have 300+ ipads to support, yet they wont give me one to use for said support, and ive never owned an apple product in my lifeJun 13 19:32
abeNd-orgso i setup OSX in a vm, setup xcode, setup the iOS simulator with xcode, only to find out it doesnt support the one thing i need, mail settings (specifically activesync support for iOS devices)Jun 13 19:33
abeNd-orgive got an android & webos emulator with the SDKs, and just figured the iOS SDK would be similar....wrrrrrrrongJun 13 19:34
qu1j0t3thanks for explaining. i've really enjoyed those tools, but haven't pushed it to features like thatJun 13 19:41
*qu1j0t3 works for a place that develops blackberry, android and ios appsJun 13 19:41
qu1j0t3actually not Android yet.Jun 13 19:41
qu1j0t3they're looking very hard for a mobile (ios/bb/android) dev right nowJun 13 19:41
abeNd-orgporting to webos from iOS is real easy using the webos SDK, wouldnt be much work at all to support that platform as wellJun 13 19:44

abeNd-orgim not looking to program with the emulator/simulators, mostly do activesync testing with them to exchange, novell datasync, etc...and somehow "support" those 300 ipadsJun 13 19:48

abeNd-orgyea, one of the smaller school districts i work for have had 300 donated recently, so i need to support themJun 13 20:19
qu1j0t3they have a full web browser so that's one portable routeJun 13 20:21
qu1j0t3doesn't deal with sync stuff of course...Jun 13 20:21
abeNd-orgyea, the browser emulator doesnt do me much good, i need full device support, which i thought the simulator would provide like the android/webos ones doJun 13 20:23
abeNd-orgheck even winmob 61/65 have full simulators with activesync support (not sure about winmob7, havent seen anyone with one of those)Jun 13 20:24
qu1j0t3well, if you have 300 of them, take one for on-device testingJun 13 20:24
schestowitzcoaster for beer...Jun 13 20:25
qu1j0t3you may need a mac, but those are quite cheap if you buy in secondary marketJun 13 20:25
schestowitzwith lightsJun 13 20:25
qu1j0t3i.e. $500 should get a 2008 Aluminium intel duo MAcbookJun 13 20:25
*gnufreex has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)Jun 13 20:30
abeNd-orgqu1j0t3: yep, i asked about that, they said no, all 300 are for staff/student usage, im not allowed to use one for troubleshooting (im supposed to magically know how to support them)Jun 13 20:31
abeNd-orgi have a fully functional VM with the iOS sdk, but the said SDK doesnt support when i need, which is the mail side of thingsJun 13 20:32
qu1j0t3abeNd-org: wow.Jun 13 20:32
qu1j0t3@ 'can't have one'Jun 13 20:32
qu1j0t3that's absurdJun 13 20:33
abeNd-orgwhich is why i was looking for alternative routes for support, I thought the SDK would suffice, but it does notJun 13 20:33
qu1j0t3my next step would be to use real hardware. how ridiculous they can't give you access.Jun 13 20:33
abeNd-orgi would have been perfectly fine using the SDK were it sufficient for my needsJun 13 20:34
abeNd-orgyeah, real hardware will be the only solution...especially since there isnt a "VNC server" for iOS (at least not without rooting it, & I am not about to do that for 300 ipads...)Jun 13 20:34
ender_33vnc is terribleJun 13 20:38
ender_33'lets waste bandwidth by drawing every pixel'Jun 13 20:39
abeNd-orgyea, granted ill usually change it to 8 color or greyscale when using it, but everyone knows you mean device remote control when you say VNCJun 13 20:40
schestowitzyeahJun 13 20:45
schestowitzI use it ATM for workJun 13 20:45
schestowitzto access a broken VMJun 13 20:45
schestowitzand fsck itJun 13 20:45
ender_33NX needs to be cloned or reverse engineerredJun 13 20:49
abeNd-orgright now there is nothing that offers remote management support for mobile devices other than bomgarJun 13 20:55
qu1j0t3vnc is fine over wireless or gigabitJun 13 20:55
abeNd-orgeven for android you have to root it for vnc or any other remote solution to work, not workable for a business environmentJun 13 20:56
qu1j0t3yeah, what I miss on the ios devices is openvpnJun 13 20:56
qu1j0t3limited vpn options out of the boxJun 13 20:56
qu1j0t3abeNd-org: why don't you qualify as 'staff' if you're working to get them integratedJun 13 20:58
ender_3315:50 < qu1j0t3> vnc is fine over wireless or gigabitJun 13 21:00
ender_33I can't agreeJun 13 21:00
qu1j0t3hehJun 13 21:01
qu1j0t3well i use it over both with no issuesJun 13 21:01
qu1j0t3ymmvJun 13 21:01
qu1j0t3actually i use it over openvpn + internet just fine too...Jun 13 21:01
abeNd-orgive used vnc over slow links before & it is fine for supportJun 13 21:02
ender_33have you used NX?Jun 13 21:06
ender_33I've used VNC without issues too but its a waste of bandwidthJun 13 21:06
ender_33VNC sends every pixelJun 13 21:06
ender_33NX sends a drawing commandJun 13 21:06
qu1j0t3when you write a better client and server for my platforms i'll be happy to switch :)Jun 13 21:08
qu1j0t3there's a fortune to be made if you can beat NX with an open source product.Jun 13 21:08
abeNd-orgI can't say ive used NXJun 13 21:08
*qu1j0t3 hasn't used NX but accepts that it's somehow superior to VNCJun 13 21:08
abeNd-orgmostly these days i use ssh/rdp/logmeinJun 13 21:08
qu1j0t3we use rdp here but the experience seems inferior to vncJun 13 21:09
qu1j0t3NX sends a drawing command? how 1987 :)Jun 13 21:09
qu1j0t3Sun NeWS... X11... etc.Jun 13 21:09
MinceRNX is mostly XJun 13 21:11
MinceRand afaik X does have drawing commands, always had themJun 13 21:11
qu1j0t3of course it does.Jun 13 21:11
qu1j0t3as did Sun NeWS (network extensible windowing system), whose primitives were similar to Display PostScript'sJun 13 21:11
qu1j0t3i.e. not bitmapJun 13 21:12
schestowitzsudo draw me a lineJun 13 21:13
schestowitzoops. wrong windows :-)Jun 13 21:13
ender_33its better than sending a series of 'screenshots'Jun 13 21:15
ender_33unfortunately yes NX is proprietaryJun 13 21:15
ender_33i'll be moving to vnc soon so I don't have to use gnomeJun 13 21:16
qu1j0t3ender_33: of course you're aware that vnc has a lot of optimisations and tries not to send more than it needs to.Jun 13 21:16
qu1j0t3ender_33: all the obvious stuff...Jun 13 21:16
ender_33vnc is also platform independentJun 13 21:16
qu1j0t3yes.Jun 13 21:16
ender_33nx requires gnome it seemsJun 13 21:16
MinceRalso, vnc does not depend on the internals of the windowing systemJun 13 21:16
qu1j0t3that's what you gain by generalising to bitmapJun 13 21:16
ender_33well sometimes thats fasterJun 13 21:17
MinceRwhat, nx requires gnome?Jun 13 21:17
ender_33mincer - seems to be that way, or kde3Jun 13 21:17
MinceRi thought i've seen nx without gnome onceJun 13 21:17
MinceRand without kde3Jun 13 21:17
ender_33kde4?Jun 13 21:17
MinceRnoJun 13 21:17
ender_33I haven't been able to get that workingJun 13 21:17
MinceRmotif, qt, swingJun 13 21:17
MinceR(i think)Jun 13 21:17
ender_33even using a non-firefox browser would kill my sessionJun 13 21:17
ender_33lolJun 13 21:17
ender_33SL, Fedora, OpenSUSE all the sameJun 13 21:18
ender_33ill be moving to vnc despite how much I hate itJun 13 21:19
ender_33tigervnc is probably the best oneJun 13 21:19
ender_33Redhat fundedJun 13 21:19
abeNd-orgit works fine for me when i drop the color depthJun 13 21:19
qu1j0t3ender_33: over what network?Jun 13 21:19
ender_33I don't want to drop the colour depth or resolutionJun 13 21:20
qu1j0t3you'll be using gigabit, right?Jun 13 21:20
qu1j0t3that's a _lot_ of bandwidthJun 13 21:20
ender_33not over the internetJun 13 21:20
qu1j0t3over a lan you don't need to drop depth or resolution.Jun 13 21:21
ender_33with nx it didn't matterJun 13 21:21
abeNd-orgfor support it doesnt matter about color depth, its not like you are running photoshop/gimpJun 13 21:21
ender_33I could have a full colour any-res desktop over the WANJun 13 21:21
ender_33in fact, gimp would draw properly too :)Jun 13 21:22
qu1j0t3that's my experience with vnc.Jun 13 21:22
ender_33yeah i dunno maybe ill stick with NX thenJun 13 21:22
ender_33I can't browse in a smaller res windowJun 13 21:23
ender_33I NX into my desktop from work to home, and use it to browseJun 13 21:23
qu1j0t3i do it the other way 'roundJun 13 21:23
ender_33enjoy :)Jun 13 21:25
ender_33thats why we have choiceJun 13 21:25
abeNd-orgheh, i always seem to be at a dead end, not choiceJun 13 21:27
