pascal`hey10:09
superflyhi pascal`10:14
pascal`hey superfly 10:14
pascal`I've got a bit of a silly question10:14
pascal`Do you know what the syntax is to create an HTML hyperlink that will open a network location with Nautilus?10:15
superflyI don't use Gnome, I'm afraid10:15
pascal`well whatever10:16
pascal`I just need to open a network location from a hyperlink10:16
pascal`The file manager isn't important10:16
superflywell, the file manager is important, because it might put a hook into your browser to open special "protocols"10:17
superflybut to answer your question, there is no HTML hyperlink10:17
pascal`Well, specifying the smb protocal just does nothing for me10:17
pascal`i.e. I click the link and nothing happens10:17
superflyHTML hyperlinks support http, https, ftp, and a few other web-centric protocols10:18
superflyyes, smb will do nothing because it's not a web protocol, and your browser does not know how to handle it10:18
pascal`I'm administering a heterogeneous network, and just want to make it easy for everyone on the network to have quick access to a shared directory10:18
pascal`It should prompt you to select an application to use to open the URL though10:19
superflynope, not if it doesn't understand the protocol10:19
pascal`Strange that it works on OSX and Windows then10:20
superflypascal`: where and how? you still haven't told me what application you are using10:20
pascal`I'm using firefox on mac and ie on windows10:21
superflyand I'm not tell you it won't work, I'm telling you why it currently doesn't work10:21
superflyyeah, mac and windows probably have registered those protocol10:21
superflys10:21
pascal`have a little test html page with a hyperlink on for each OS10:21
pascal`i'm trying to get a working hyperlink for ubuntu, but from what you've said, I don't think I'm going to be able to get it to work10:21
superflyjust like you can register the apt: protocol in Firefox on Ubuntu to open your package manager 10:22
pascal`Yeah, I understand10:22
superflypascal`: on KDE/Konqueror I know can use the smb protocol, but I don't know how to get Firefox to do that10:23
pascal`Thanks for your help10:23
pascal`yeah I remember that10:23
superflyI'm sure a bit of googling will uncover something10:23
pascal`What is "googling"?10:24
pascal`Yeah dude, I've looked around10:24
pascal`the protocol just isn't registered by default, and it'll be quicker for me to explain to the staff how to open the network location manually, than to explain how to register the protocol10:25
pascal`Maybe I can give them a link file or something10:28
inetpropascal`: see http://locallink.mozdev.org/10:44
pascal`thanks inetpro 10:47
Symmetriagah11:37
Symmetria*annoyed*11:37
Symmetriahow the hell do people afford to buy houses in capetown 11:37
Symmetriaseriously11:37
froztbyteby sitting in debt for 20 years?11:37
Symmetriafroztbyte heh, dude, I earn good money, and the pricing is so insane I couldnt come close to affording most of the decent places11:38
Symmetriayou're looking at bond repayments of 20+ thousand a month 11:38
froztbyteyup, I know11:39
froztbyteI've looked before11:39
Symmetriaand lol, when you're paying 20 grand a month in a bond repayment + paying off car + other expenses, its just not realistic11:39
froztbyteobviously you need to become part of silicon cape and spend your time getting paid 1.2mil/year to talk bullshit11:39
froztbyte(has anyone from that even done anything yet, or is it just a cashwank?)11:40
bmg50520k for house, 10k for insurance, 20k for car, 50k for wife, 20k/kid that is more the budget :(11:44
bmg505a hooker 24 month contract would probably only cost about 5k/month11:46
nuvolarihi guys, what could the diff be (in practice) between 2 files where the hexcode differs only in the following: 12:01
nuvolari< 0000000 feca beba 0000 3100 2c00 000a 0005 092612:01
nuvolari> 0000000 feca beba 0000 3200 2c00 000a 0005 092612:01
froztbytethat's entirely dependant on what sort of file you're talking about12:03
nuvolarijava class files12:05
cocooncrashnuvolari: Two bits.12:06
bmg505if its part of a string its a '1' that became a '2'12:28
linuxboySymmetria: get a cheaper car :/12:32
Symmetria20k for car bmg?!12:39
Symmetriawtf type of car are you driving that its costing 20k a month12:39
Symmetriamy 335i only costs me 6.8 + 1600 a month for insurance 12:39
bmg505when you live in a R2mil house with a wife you gonna need R10kx2 one R10k for you and one R10k for her12:46
bmg505the 20k/kid includes their car payments12:50
bmg505breeding and settling down is quite expensive12:50
linuxboySymmetria: what sort of houses are you looking at that you can't afford?13:58
linuxboybmg505: you need to earn +- R60k for a 2 mil house13:59
Symmetriaheh 60k gross probably wont cover you for a 2mil house unless you living cheap on anything else :P14:00
Symmetria(actually I know it wont)14:00
