me three. 0.5-1 isn't installing anything.

EDIT: I extracted gc_dialer.py and gc_dialer.glade from the deb and put them in the /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib dirs, and things seem to be working as advertised.

EDIT2: No, I was wrong. I can't make a call. It keeps insisting that it failed to login to www.grandcentral.com, no matter what I do.

I think I know what happened. With two developers we may have had some overlap.

grrrr...I'm getting the same problem.

arrgh....i was afraid this might happen. please don't fork this project. i take back what i said about loving open-source

Been hacking all day, I probably need another day but the app is coming along nicely. I have 100% code sharing between a desktop/GTK version and a nokia/Hildon version ( makes it much easier to hack when I can do 95% of the development under a stock linux box ). I have keyboard shortcuts working, the About is now in the menu, phone number is now big and bold, and the layout of portrait friendly. Now I just need to put recent numbers back together again ;-)

z2n passed along some urllib2 code from another hacker and I'll probably have native login working by the end of the week.

Are there other free-ish "callback" services out there? It should be easier now to implement them as plugins for the dialer.

Thanks for the update brontide, at this time I only know of GC service.

Brontide, please release your desktop version too. I know my wife would love to be able to dial a number on the laptop in the kitchen to call her parents for free.

It's the same .py file. If the hildon libraries load it will automatically use the hildon menu and other maemo items. I am doing the main development under my desktop, so I expect it will continue to work for the foreseeable future.

The full keyboard shortcuts will be better under a desktop as well because of the dedicated number keys. All you need to do is select the app, type in the number and hit return.

This would be so much easier if gtk+/glade wasn't so infuriating. The functionality is rather trivial, but I'm spending most of my time trying to get trivial UI tricks out of this stuff.

Hey, so regarding running the .py script on my desktop... it complains about the cookie file not being in the microb directory. What do you do to get the correctly-formatted cookie when running it on the desktop?

Thanks for a great little utility, by the way. Super cool.
