Kilosouch.06:33
Kilosour channel shrinking all the time06:33
Kilosand some leave the work pc online so one doesnt know if they are actually here06:34

Kiloshehe06:34
Kiloshey nlsthzn can you look at gtwitter 06:35

Kilosi got it installed but cant find a connect button06:35
nlsthzngwibber06:35
Kilosits in synaptic06:35
Kilosgtwitter06:35
Kilosgwibber uses data like i am uncapped06:36
nlsthznI have never seen or heard of gtwitter...06:36
nlsthznI can install it and see06:36
Kilosit tries to connected but the preferences where you put username and password only has an ok button but it doesnt connect06:37
nlsthznyou already have a twitter account setup?06:38
Kilosprefs only has a sign up button not sign in06:38
Kilosyip06:38
nlsthznfrom what I can see as soon as the info is added it starts running...06:39
Kiloskeeps saying posting failed06:39
nlsthznEish... I have never heard of this app... I don't think it is used a lot... probably because it isn't that good :/06:41
Kiloslol06:41
Kilosi even tried to man it but nothing06:41
KilosMaaz, google gTwitter on ubuntu maverick06:43
MaazKilos: "Ubuntu -- Details of package python-twitter in maverick" http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/python-twitter :: "Ubuntu -- Details of package libtwitter-glib-1.0-0 in maverick" http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libtwitter-glib-1.0-0 :: "Ubuntu 'Maverick Meerkat' erects own App Store • The Register" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/03/ubuntu_maverick_meerkat_beta/ :: "Ubuntu Gives Maverick a shot in the ARM | OMG! Ubuntu!" htt06:43
Kilosnever mind nlsthzn i will try find what the prob is06:43
Kilosty06:43
nlsthznKilos, I am not getting many hits on gtwitter... not much help out there in Internet land on it :/06:45
Kiloswhat is it actually06:46

Kilosso it cant be connected to twitter properly or something07:07
nlsthznKilos, I will give it an install now and see...07:08
Kilosdont worry nlsthzn 07:08
nlsthznI don't worry about it :p07:09
Kilosi just needed to find out if it was me ty07:09
Kiloshehe07:09
Kilosit must be disconnected for posting because the refresh works07:10
nlsthznProblem with many services like twitter is they change there API and ways to authenticate on a whim then all apps have to scramble to change :/07:10
Kilosoh07:10
Kilosso then its a job for the gnome peeps07:11
Kilosnlsthzn, i went to #gnome and left a post there07:14

Kiloshee hee hee07:22
Kilosi rebooted07:22
nlsthznThen it says connection failed07:23
nlsthznbad application is bad...07:23
nlsthzninstalling it added 7 packages... removing it only removes one...07:24
nlsthznoh well07:24
Kiloslol07:24
nlsthzncan always do with more mono libraries07:24
Kilosi also dont let any internet app start on boot07:24
nlsthznGood idea with limited cap07:25
Kilospurge07:25
nlsthznautoremove ;)07:25
Kilosgtwitter is actually letting posts in but doesnt show when07:29
KilosJust watching Guide To The Good Life. Typical thing a 15 year old does on a Saturday.07:29
Kilosthats from some chick07:29
nlsthznlol...07:33
Kilosmaybe its one of those apps you first have to go register att07:35
Kilosbefore you can post07:37
nlsthznNah... as soon as you have a twitter account it should work (but I think for it to work properly it will be about the same data usage as gwibber)07:38
nlsthznI am getting to tired to think straight now... going to be back later... good luck Uncle Kilos 07:38
Kilosty nlsthzn  go sleep lad07:39

nlsthzn:)15:42
Kiloslol15:43
inetproKilos: I would suggest you simply use the mobile version of twitter directly in your browser https://mobile.twitter.com/16:16
Kiloson my pc inetpro 16:16
Kilosi have lost that link you gave16:16
Kilosoh i see16:16
Kilosty sir16:16
inetproany client software will have constant communication going in the background in order to look for new updates16:17
Kilosah ty16:18
Kilosgwibber was killing me16:18
Kilosi tried fro elinks but couldnt type in the username and password so dunno where i went wrong there16:19
inetprojust use chromium16:21
inetproor firefox16:21
Kiloswill do ty16:21
Kilosepiphany works16:22
inetproshould not eat to much if you stick to basics16:22
inetproor even epiphany16:22
Kiloshehe16:22
Kilosdunno what happened to corrie16:24
Kiloshe didnt even answer me16:24
Kilosgrrrr16:24
inetproKilos: he's on holiday in the UK16:24
Kilosya but he asked who is tara16:24
inetprowell I guess he is a popular man and has many tweets to answer16:26
Kiloslol16:26
inetproKilos: I see others also asking "Does @corrie206 still tweet?"16:28
Kilosyeah looks like he stopped this morning16:28
Kilosi only see you few guys i follow16:28
inetproobviously16:29
inetprothat is how it works16:29
Kilosoh16:29
inetproKilos: but you can do a search to see others16:30
inetprolike https://mobile.twitter.com/searches?q=corrie20616:30
Kilosno he will surely get those messages when he goes online again16:31
Kilosmaybe he found an engelsman that doesnt talk too much16:31
inetproKilos: he has 1,880 Following and 1,125 Followers16:32
Kilossjoe\16:32
Kilosbrowser eat data too16:33
Kilos1m already16:33
Kilosi watch everything16:33
Kilosmust be all you guys profile pics16:34
inetproKilos: you can always try to reduce it by not displaying the images16:34
Kilosin settings?16:35
Kilosdidnt see it16:35
inetpronot sure where you will find that option these days but a few years back I used to do that16:36
Kilosah16:36
inetproin firefox On your toolbar, click on Tools, then select Options, then select Content from the top bar. Uncheck the box that says load images automatically.16:37
Kilosok will try the fox next time16:38
Tonberry try the imglikeopera firefox addon16:38
Tonberryit allows you to easily set image loading settings per tab16:39
Kiloswill do ty Tonberry 16:39
Kilosnext time i use the fox16:39
Tonberryit makes gprs tolerable 16:39
inetprofirefox is to me still the most flexible browser16:41
inetproso many extensions that you can load for just about any purpose you can think off16:42
inetproto save bandwidth you can load the following16:43
inetproFlashblock, Blocks Flash so it won’t get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/16:43
inetproImgLikeOpera, ImgLikeOpera allows load only the images that you want in Firefox browser. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1672/16:43
inetproNoScript, This extension allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/  16:44
inetproAdBlockPlus, Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/  16:44
inetproplus it's companions like Adblock Filterset.G Updater, etc16:45
Tonberrymmm, never tried noscript16:45
* inetpro has NoScript on by default16:45
Kiloswhat does noscript do?16:46
inetproKilos: many/most pages these days have javascript and other excutable code that runs after you opened the page16:47
Kilosand those moving pics and things16:48
inetprothe code is typically stored in separate files which are downloaded automagically16:48
Kiloswill they be blocked as well16:48
inetproNoScript will even stop the browser from downloading the stuff16:48
inetprothen you have the option to whitelist a site 16:49
inetprowhich will then obviously download the code and run it16:49
Kilosah that sounds great ty16:49
inetproit's mostly for fancy menus but there's lot's of other fancy stuff these days16:50
inetpromany sites are simply not usable without the scripts16:51
Kilosi actually just wanted to go twitter and fb to follow taras stuff but think she popular enough now16:51
inetproKilos: oh and many web developers simply forget about the blind or the deaf who can no longer use these fancy websites16:57
Kiloslol16:57
Kilosor the aged16:57
Kilosthe youthfully handicapped16:58
* inetpro wbb17:02

Kiloslan has limestone added so peeps cant make bombs with it18:06
inetproon the farm we used ureum quite often18:06
inetprovery good for maize18:06

Kilosyeah urea is the pure potent form but can burn plants dead if not watered in properly18:06
inetproyep18:07

Kilosend result is the same. but one takes longer18:08
