[0:29] <Corsac> MaceN8x0: what do you mean?
[0:30] <dpb> Probably if the magnets are too weak
[0:30] <dpb> to hold the tablet on the fridge
[0:32] <Corsac> no way the magnets are too weak
[0:32] <Corsac> they are multiple reports that they are way too strong
[0:36] <dpb> And there's multiple reports that they're too weak to hold the device on the fridge.
[0:36] <dpb> That it slowly slides downwards
[0:36] <Corsac> oh?
[0:36] <Corsac> I never saw such a report
[0:36] <Corsac> can you point me to one?
[0:37] <dpb> Nope.
[0:37] <dpb> I don't know where I read it from. :)
[0:37] <Corsac> ok, so long for the "multiple reports" :)
[0:37] <ptelder> Gr??goire said there could be some slipping issues and that they had to look at it.
[0:38] <ptelder> It was before the cannel was logged.
[0:38] <ptelder> er... channel.
[0:46] <ptelder> Actually, I take that back. I just went back through my clients log. I think Gr??goire was talking about issues with how the magnets were packed. The slipping issue happened when somebody put the magnets on the inside.
[0:48] <ptelder> Magnet placement video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0ufymAvjDM

[1:52] <dpb> Ah, might have been that, yeah.
[1:59] <hyc1> yeah, these magnets are plenty strong, the TB doesn't budge.
[2:41] <Anges> here is the report I read about the TB sliding on the fridge: http://adric.dreamwidth.org/8080.html
[2:41] <Anges> but I guess the issue is to put the magnets on the right spot???
[2:42] <Anges> It???s a shame that my fridge is in a closet to match my kitchen, I won???t be able to put the TB on it!
[2:42] <ptelder> Yeah. Adric's the guy who put the magnets on the inside. Lemme see if I can find where he said that...
[2:42] * shtylman__ (n=shtylman@cpe-68-173-99-55.nyc.res.rr.com) has joined #touchbook
[2:44] <dpb> viridior: did your package arrive with or without the stylus?
[2:44] * drantin_ (n=drantin@pdpc/supporter/active/Drantin) has joined #touchbook
[2:47] <ptelder> Can't find it. It was from right before the channel started being logged. But it was definetly Adric.
[2:48] <ptelder> You can see in the demo video where they slam the fridge door that it holds pretty well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZm6qM0KPpg
[2:49] <Anges> I too thought the magnets were supposed to be on the inside. Funny that you have to open the screen, and still have to put the magnets outside! Although I guess when you???re used to them, you don???t need to open
[2:50] <ptelder> As I understand it, the magnets have a backing on them to protect the Touch Book's finish. That means they stick more strongly to whatever you put the TB on. I plan on just leaving my magnets on the fridge.

[4:37] <Simeon_H> I just thought the other day
[4:37] <Simeon_H> the touchbook would be a great product to sell on those morning tv shows

[14:50] <viridior> back
[14:53] <tommd> you were gone?
[14:54] <tommd> I figured you have been at your computer these past 6 hours I haven't heard you talk ;-)
[14:55] <viridior> nope, i idle here... but i can't get on until i get home after work ;)
[14:56] <viridior> i track the conversation at work though.
[14:56] <viridior> speaking of which...
[14:56] <viridior> dpb: the TB i have come with a stylus
[15:09] <martinh> how accurate is the touch screen when combined with the stylus for things like drawing or scribbling notes?
[15:10] <viridior> truthfully i haven't really used the stylus much. Been meaning to get a sharper tipped one... been using the mousepad mostly
[15:10] <viridior> it seemed to be ok, could use some tweaking... but im still using 2009-08a, so it might be better now
[15:12] <martinh> Hmm. I'm hoping it'll be capable of a quality high enough to do real handwriting recognition. . .
[15:13] <martinh> the newton 2000 did a pretty good job of that years ago and I would love to see a tablet like that I could use again
[15:13] <viridior> im not really sure i would say that with -08a and the default stylus. Touch screen seems responsive enough that with some tweaks and a better stylus I think it is possible
[15:14] <martinh> at least, use in the same way I used my newton.
[15:42] <GUido-> Woot!
[15:42] <GUido-> I HAVE BEEN SELECTED!
[15:42] * viridior is attempting to flash to -09a

[15:52] <Q_Continuum> I'm curious, on the specs it lists '256MB Flash Memory Built-In' right next to the system memory of 256MB...what is the internal Flash for, a baseline image, swap file, hibernation..?
[15:53] <Q_Continuum> I don't yet have a Touch Book, but it's the next computer I will be buying (don't have the cash for one right now)
[15:54] <GUido-> Mine ship0ped today :D
[15:54] <GUido-> after only 6 months of waiting
[15:55] <Q_Continuum> Sounds like my last PC. (Not 6 months, but a couple, with the Sheeva Plug PC)
[15:56] <tommd> GUido-: Six months? So you ordered back in February?
[15:56] <GUido-> First week of March
[15:56] <tommd> Well, I guess I should be thankful I didn't order in August at least.
[15:57] <npx> i ordered as soon as the international preorder was opened :<
[15:57] <tommd> When did that open?
[15:57] <npx> but it seems to be pretty unlikely to be selected for the supporting
[15:57] <npx> first weeks of june iirc
[15:59] <npx> well g2g :>

[19:08] <viridior> anyone around with a TB that used the "Reinstall_OS" script for 2009-09a?
[19:11] <viridior> im getting no joy with that script
[19:11] * viridior starts fixing
[19:12] <shiznebit> viridior: you got a touchbook ?
[19:12] <viridior> shiznebit: yes
[19:12] <shiznebit> well thats nice
[19:13] <shiznebit> now hows about we trade $$$ for touchbook
[19:13] <viridior> yeah, finding issues here and there... nothing to suprising since its still beta, but needs to be fixed anyway
